Office of Water accepting comments on EPA’s Retrospective Review Plan and Significant Regulations for potential review

President Obama recently issued Executive Order 13563, requiring each agency to develop a plan to periodically conduct a retrospective review of its regulations, and determine if they are ineffective, insufficient, or overly burdensome, and then revise or repeal as warranted. In response, EPA is developing a review plan and a list of candidate regulations for potential review, and it is soliciting feedback on both. In order to do so, the Office of Water is participating in two listening sessions to be held on March 14 and 17, 2011.
