Fall 2009 Regulatory Agenda

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Semiannual regulatory agenda and semiannual regulatory
flexibility agenda.

_______________________________________________________________________

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) publishes the
semiannual regulatory agenda online (the e-agenda) at www.reginfo.gov
to update the public about:

Regulations and major policies currently under development,

Reviews of existing regulations and major policies, and

Rules and major policymakings completed or canceled since the
last agenda.

Definitions:

    ``E-agenda,'' ``online regulatory agenda,'' and ``semiannual
regulatory agenda'' all refer to the same comprehensive collection
of information on rulemakings that, until May 2007, was published
in the Federal Register, but which now is only available through an
online database.

    The Regulatory Plan provides more detailed information than the
regulatory agenda on the most important significant rulemakings
that we will be developing over the coming years.

    ``Monthly Action Initiation List'' (AIL) refers to a list that
EPA posts online each month of the regulations newly approved for
development.

    ``Unified Agenda'' refers to the collection of all agencies'
agendas with an introduction prepared by the Regulatory Information
Service Center.

    ``Regulatory agenda preamble'' refers to the document you are
reading now. It introduces both EPA's e-agenda and regulatory
flexibility agenda.

    ``Regulatory Flexibility Agenda'' refers to a document that
contains a limited amount of information (less than is in the e-
agenda) about regulations that may have a significant impact on a
substantial number of small entities. The Regulatory Flexibility
Act of 1980 requires that we publish the Regulatory Flexibility
Agenda in the Federal Register.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:  If you have questions or comments
about a particular action, please get in touch with the agency contact
listed in each agenda entry. If you have general questions about the
semiannual regulatory agenda, please contact: Caryn Muellerleile
(muellerleile.caryn@epa.gov; 202-564-2855) or Phil Schwartz
(schwartz.philip@epa.gov; 202-564-6564).

TO BE PLACED ON AN AGENDA MAILING LIST:  If you would like to receive
an e-mail with a link to new semiannual regulatory agendas as soon as
they are published, please send an e-mail message with your name and
address to: nscep@bps-lmit.com and put ``E-Regulatory Agenda:
Electronic Copy'' in the subject line. If you would like to regularly
receive information about the rules newly approved for development,
sign up for our monthly Action Initiation List by going to http://
www.epa.gov/lawsregs/search/ail.htmlnotification and
completing the five steps listed there.

    If you would like to receive a hard copy of the semiannual
agenda about 2 months after publication, call 800-490-9198 or send
an e-mail with your name and complete address to: nscep@bps-
lmit.com and put ``Regulatory Agenda Hard Copy`` in the subject
line.
