EPA Launches New Website to Improve Transparency in Permitting

Summary:

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has launched a new website, epa.gov/permits, aimed at improving transparency in permitting processes. The website provides centralized information on EPA's permitting programs, including delegations of authority to states, requirements, and timelines. The website also includes public-facing reports and resources, such as environmental justice and civil rights information. Additionally, the website displays the status of EPA permits for large-scale infrastructure projects covered by the Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act (FAST-41). The goal is to make it easier for the public and stakeholders to access information about EPA's permitting process and programs.
