EPA’s Meaningful Involvement Policy Public Comment Submission
EPA is seeking public comments that can help shape a meaningful involvement policy. The revised policy builds on EPA’s 2003 Public Involvement Policy and incorporates 20 years of experience to establish an EPA-wide approach to conducting meaningful involvement without creating any legally binding requirements. The approach includes 3 steps:
- Identifying the decision(s) in an EPA action that may be influenced by public input
- Using the public participation spectrum
- Using the meaningful involvement model) that each National Program and Region implements as appropriate.
Written comments can be submitted through January 16, 2024.
