Description
As a member of the public, did you know that you can submit input on rules, regulations, and other proposed policies that affect the environment?
Whether governing clean air, protecting wildlife, or limiting COâ‚‚ emissions from power plants and vehicles, government agencies develop rules that touch many aspects of our lives. It is an integral part of the rule-making process that allows the public to participate.
Rules go through several stages in their development. During the public commenting phase, any person or group may comment on a rule and can easily submit comments online.
Before regulations are created and approved, get your voice heard so decision-makers can understand the human impact of proposed rules and help them see how climate change and environmental issues affect all of us.
