On April 26th, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency published in the Federal Register its Semiannual Regulatory Agenda. The Agenda identified seven themes to focus the regulatory work of EPA:
(1) Taking Action on Climate Change,
(2) Improving Air Quality,
(3) Assuring the Safety of Chemicals,
(4) Cleaning Up Our Communities,
(5) Protecting America’s Waters,
(6) Expanding the Conversation on Environmentalism and Working for Environmental Justice, and
(7) Building Strong State and Tribal Partnerships.
As reported on this blog, U.S. EPA has already commenced action on several of these goals by proposing or finalizing regulations.
Stay tuned to the Illinois Environmental Law Blog for more news and developments.
