Administrative Petitions for Rulemaking
Under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), federal agencies must give interested persons the right to petition for the issuance, amendment, or repeal of a rule (5 U.S.C. § 553(e)). In addition, some environmental statutes provide citizens the opportunity to petition EPA for specific rulemaking actions. The program office pages linked below list petitions for rulemaking received since January 1, 2013.
