Federal Register Prints Flexibility Agendas

Posted on 2/14/2012 by James Griffin

Yesterday, the Federal Register finally published the Fall 2011 Regulatory Flexibility Agendas, as required by the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 USC 602). Compared to the Unified Agenda published last month (and discussed ), the Flexibility Agendas only include rules that have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities (SEIOSNOSE) or are otherwise identified as significant rulemakings. Ever since the OMB took the lead on managing the agendas from the Federal Register, there hasn’t been much in the Flexibility Agendas that isn’t already in other sources. Department of Transportation Flexiblity Agenda (Fall 2011): PHMSA expects to continue working on new rules for lithium battery transportation, and to issue a set of miscellanous cleanup amendments later this year.
 
Here are links to the flexibility agendas for agencies in our area of EHS, and a few notes:

This is the best RCRA training I've experienced! I will be visiting Lion training again.

The instructor does a great job at presenting material in an approachable way. I have been able to save my company about $30,000 in the last year with what I have learned from Lion!

Lion does a great job summarizing and communicating complicated EH&S-related regulations.

I attended training from another provider and learned absolutely nothing. Lion is much better. Hands down.

Environmental Specialist

Lion provided an excellent introduction to environmental regulations, making the transition to a new career as an EHS specialist less daunting of a task. Drinking from a fire hose when the flow of water is lessened, is much more enjoyable!

Excellent course. Very interactive. Explanations are great whether you get the questions wrong or right.

I have been to other training companies, but Lion’s material is much better and easier to understand.

I like Lion's workshops the best because they really dig into the information you need to have when you leave the workshop.
