Background

    The EPA has released for public comment its Draft Technical 
Guidance for Assessing Environmental Justice in Regulatory Analysis 
(May 1, 2013) (see https://www.federalregister.gov/articles/2013/05/09/2013-11165/technical-guidance-for-assessing-environmental-justice-in-regulatory-analysis) The purpose of this draft guidance is to provide
