Federal Acquisition Regulation: Minimizing the Risk of Climate Change in Federal Acquisitions
The Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council published an advance notice of proposed rulemaking on October 15, 2021, seeking public input on a potential amendment to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to ensure that major Federal agency procurements minimize the risk of climate change. The deadline for submitting comments is being extended from December 14, 2021, to January 13, 2022, to provide additional time for interested parties to provide inputs.
Revised Definition of “Waters of the United States”
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of the Army (``the agencies'') are publishing for public comment a proposed rule defining the scope of waters protected under the Clean Water Act. This proposal is consistent with the Executive Order signed on January 20, 2021, on ``Protecting Public Health and the Environment and Restoring Science to Tackle the Climate Crisis,'' which directed the agencies to review the agencies' rule promulgated in 2020 defining ``waters of the United States.'' This proposed rule would meet the objective of the Clean Water Act and ensure critical protections for the nation's vital water resources, which support public health, environmental protection, agricultural activity, and economic growth across the United States.
