The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is the independent agency for environmental regulation of air, water, soil, and chemicals. It enforces many laws, including the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, TSCA, and RCRA.
It issues many rules on emission standards, chemical-use restrictions, and contaminated-site cleanup, and is a frequent issuer in this site's Federal Register data. It also widely uses the framework of delegating authority to states (state program approval), affecting industry, energy, and public health.
