January 16, 2008—The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has added new features to one of its most popular Web sites for environmental regulatory information. This site, titled “Laws, Regulations, Guidance and Dockets”, is often the public’s first exposure to EPA’s regulatory activities, notes EPA.
The site’s user-friendliness has been enhanced with easily accessible ways to search and comment on EPA regulations and significant guidance documents, and to learn how environmental regulations are written.
The site also includes new sections for finding regulations and related documents, plus regulatory history, statutory authority, supporting analyses, compliance information, and guidance for implementation.
Also, for the first time, searches for regulatory information can be conducted by environmental topics, such as water or air, or by business sectors, such as transportation or construction, says EPA.
