The Department of Environmental Protection published notice of availability of its first Technical Guidance Agenda outlining the changes to technical guidance and other policies within the agency in development in the June 27 PA Bulletin.  

This Non-Regulatory Agenda is similar to the Regulatory Agenda published by DEP twice a year in January and July.  The last Regulatory Agenda was published in July 2014.

DEP’s Citizens Advisory Council recommended publishing a Non-Regulatory Agenda as part of an effort to improve public participation in the development of technical guidance.

DEP will be accepting public comments on other changes it proposed to improve the technical guidance development process until July 14.

DEP said it will post the Non-Regulatory Agenda on its Learn About Technical Guidance webpage when available.
