January: 39 notices published by Environmental Protection Agency

There were 39 notices published by the Environmental Protection Agency in January, according to the Federal Register.

The most recent notice, Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission to the Office of Management and Budget for Review and Approval; Comment Request; Treatment of Indian Tribes in a Similar Manner as States for Purposes of Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act (Renewal), was submitted on January 30, 2023.

The Environmental Protection Agency published 54 the month before, marking a 27.8 percent decrease for the current month.

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.
