78 organizations filed 97 public comments on Increasing Consistency and Transparency in Considering Benefits and Costs in the Clean Air Act Rulemaking Process, at the Environmental Protection Agency. The comment window closed 1870d ago.

Abstract

This action proposes a regulation intended to increase consistency and transparency relating to EPA’s consideration of benefits and costs in making regulatory decisions in a manner consistent with applicable authorizing statutes in the Clean Air Act (CAA). This proposed rule addresses issues raised in the June 13, 2018 advanced notice of proposed rulemaking, “Increasing Consistency and Transparency in Considering Costs and Benefits in the Rulemaking Process” (83 FR 27524), and proposes how its concepts will be implemented in rulemakings conducted by EPA using its authorities under the CAA. In addition, this proposed rule codifies the Agency’s internal procedural requirements governing the development, presentation, and use of benefit-cost analyses in significant rulemakings conducted under the CAA.
