EPA Releases Supplemental Proposed Rule to the Proposed Rule on Strengthening Transparency in Regulatory Science – Update from Bergeson & Campbell, P.C.

EPA Releases Supplemental Proposed Rule to the Proposed Rule on Strengthening Transparency in Regulatory Science
  On March 3, 2020, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced the availability of a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (SNPRM) to the Strengthening Transparency in Regulatory Science proposed rule.  EPA notes that the SNPRM “is not a new rulemaking; rather, it provides clarifications on certain terms and aspects of the 2018 proposed rule.” 

EPA’s original proposal was the subject of significant controversy, including many public comments of concern and an EPA Science Advisory Board (SAB) report raising issues.  It will be important to monitor the comment process and resolution of the many issues raised by the rule.
