Interim Guidance on Environmental Justice

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has released interim guidance to help agency staff incorporate environmental justice into the agency’s rulemaking process, “Interim Guidance on Considering Environmental Justice During the Development of an Action”.

The guidance also outlines the multiple steps that EPA program offices can take to incorporate the needs of overburdened neighborhoods into the agency’s decision-making, scientific analysis, and rule development. EPA is also seeking public feedback on how to best implement and improve the guide for agency staff to further advance efforts toward environmental justice.
