Week ending May 21: 5 notices published by Environmental Protection Agency

There were five notices published by the Environmental Protection Agency in week ending May 21, according to the Federal Register.

The most recent notice, Pesticide Product Registration; Receipt of Applications for New Active Ingredients-April 2022, was submitted on May 20, 2022.

The Environmental Protection Agency published 15 the week before, marking a 66.7 percent decrease.

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.
