Regulatory Agenda

Twice a year, each agency publishes a comprehensive report that describes all the regulations it is working on or has recently finished. This is known as the Unified Agenda and is available from the Government Printing Office web site . To learn more about the Unified Agenda, please visit our Regulations and Proposed Rules page, under the Semiannual Regulatory Agenda section.

You can click to the past Unified Agenda documents of E.P.A. by clicking on the below links.

You can search the Unified Agenda for general EPA information, or for specific regulatory issues.

You may highlight the Year to choose the specific database or search for the terms within the year. Searching Instructions

Searching Instructions:

You can enter a simple search term, or design an advanced search query using specific syntax. To design an advanced query, you can enter one or more words and string them together into a phrase. To search for phrases, you must be careful to place them within quotation marks so that the search engine will not search each word as an individual term. An example of this :

"state implementation plans"

Without the quotation marks, the engine will search for each word individually. Next, to link together two or more search terms, you must use the specific link words such as ADJ (adjacent), AND, OR and NOT, and they must be in capital letters. An example of this is:

"state implementation plans" AND Idaho

You can also search all variations of a word with the truncation feature. By adding an asterisk (*) after the word stem, you will retrieve all variations of the word. An example of this is:

implement* will retrieve implementation, implements, implementing
