31 Aug Proposed Environmental Policy

First, go to the Federal government regulations website: http://www.regulations.gov (You may have to type the address into your web browser). Click on the "Learn" tab and read through the policy process. Make sure you click on the five tabs that will guide you through the entire regulatory process.

Then, click on the "Search" tab. Search for an environment-related proposal by typing "environmental protection" in the Search box. You will find both state and federal policies in the review process. Select a current policy that is accepting commentary. Provide a summary of the policy, what rules or standards it is proposing, where, and its overall purpose. If the proposal has a series of questions for you to answer for your comments, please provide the responses to those questions. Otherwise, in one or two paragraphs, provide your written comments on why you support the proposal using evidence to support your statements.

Then, select one of the following environmental acts, define it, and explain how it has helped to ensure a safe environment in the U.S.

1. National Environmental Policy Act
2. Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act
3. Toxic Substances Control Act
