The Agenda is published twice a year and provides information on the status of each guidance and anticipated completion dates and a contact person in the agency to give the public advanced notice of the guidance documents to enhance opportunities for public participation.

DEP also publishes a Regulatory Agenda listing the regulations in development, their current status and anticipated completion dates along with a contact person within the agency for the same purpose.
