Draft Lead Strategy Public Comments and Outreach
EPA used the feedback received during this public comment period to determine if additional revisions need to be incorporated into the draft Lead Strategy before it was finalized.
EPA’s Approach and Public Comment Period
- EPA accepted public comments until March 16, 2022.
- Comments can be found on the docket EPA-HQ-OLEM-2021-0762 at Regulations.gov.
Public Outreach
EPA hosted virtual public comment sessions in each of its ten geographic regional office areas and one engagement session for tribes from early February to early March 2022. The sessions were an opportunity for the public to provide verbal input on the draft Lead Strategy to EPA.
