Subject: [ENV Section] Proposed rule of Council on Environmental Quality
To: Environment Section APHA <env_section(a)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:
