July 30, 2004: Meetings To Be Held On Improved Access To Federal Rulemaking
WASHINGTON - To help expand public involvement in the regulatory process, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has announced that it will hold a series of meetings called "Forum on Public Access to Federal Rulemaking Through the Internet" in August 2004.
EPA is the managing partner for E-Rulemaking, an e-government initiative designed to foster greater participation in federal rulemaking by the public and regulated entities with a better, easier way to read and comment on rules electronically, says the agency. EPA will hold four public meetings seeking input on this cross-agency initiative established under the President's Management Agenda.
