Subject: [ENV Section] Proposed rule of Council on Environmental Quality
To: Environment Section APHA
<env_section@connect.apha.org<mailto:env_section@connect.apha.org>>
Dear colleagues,
As if our plates aren't full enough with the proposed rule on "transparency in
science", the Council on Environmental Quality proposes to rewrite the whole set of
regulations on the National Environmental Protection Act requirements for environmental
impact assessments and statements. NY Times focused on a part of the rewrite which would
waive requirements for an EIS (environmental impact statement) for major infrastructural
projects. Because the EIS must usually consider air and water quality, land use, traffic
patterns, and other public health issues, this proposed rule may influence environmental
health if it is issued as drafted.
I devoted 75 minutes today to reading the proposal in the Fed. Register and got one-third
through. I shall probably finish my review on Thursday and could pull together a summary
of the matters of interest to us on Friday. If you are a glutton for punishment, you can
read it for yourself at:
https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2020/10/2019-28106/update-to-the-…
Comments are due March 10, 2020.

Follow the instructions for submitting comments. You must include the agency name (Council
on Environmental Quality) and the docket number (CEQ-2019-0003).
The guidance for commenting from U. Mich for which Natalie Sampson supplied links and the
one from Union of Concerned Scientists are also useful for making comments on this NEPA
proposal.
More on Friday,
Deborah Wallace
