2040-AF75 201804 Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 2040 Office of Water OW 2000 Environmental Protection Agency EPA Second Action: Definition of "Waters of the United States"

In 2015, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of the Army ("the agencies") published the "Clean Water Rule: Definition of 'Waters of the United States' (80 FR 37054, June 29, 2015)." On February 28, 2017, the President issued Executive Order 13778 titled "Restoring the Rule of Law, Federalism, and Economic Growth by Reviewing the 'Waters of the United States' Rule" which instructed the agencies to review the 2015 rule and rescind or replace it as appropriate and consistent with law. The agencies are publishing this proposed rule as a second step in a comprehensive, two-step process to revise the definition of "waters of the United States" consistent with the Executive Order signed on February 28, 2017.
