Week ending April 9: Environmental Protection Agency publishes 22 notices

There were 22 notices published by the Environmental Protection Agency in week ending April 9, according to the Federal Register.

The most recent notice, Information Collection Request Submitted to OMB for Review and Approval; Comment Request; NSPS for Surface Coating of Plastic Parts for Business Machines (Renewal), was submitted on April 8, 2022.

The Environmental Protection Agency published 12 the week before, marking an 83.3 percent increase.

More than half of the Agency's employees are engineers, scientists and protection specialists. The Climate Reality Project, a global climate activist organization, accused Agency leadership in the last five years of undermining its main mission.

Notices are required documents detailing rules and regulations being proposed by each federal department. This allows the public to see what issues legislators and federal departments are focusing on.

Any person or organization can comment on the proposed rules. Departments and agencies must then address “significant issues raised in comments and discuss any changes made,” the Federal Register says.
