The EPA has added new features to its Laws and Regulations page designed to provide the public the opportunity to get involved in environmental regulation.

Its 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.

The new site is easily accessible from EPA’s homepage and can be found by choosing “Laws, Regulations, Guidance & Dockets” from the left-hand navigation bar.
