Monitor all EPA external communications conveying a legal position

“Monitor all external communications conveying a legal position.”
What has happened
- Not started
Nothing published establishes such monitoring. EPA has issued no communications policy in the window; the closest documents are the June 2026 environmental-review guidance, which governs the content of one class of comment letters rather than monitoring communications generally, and the 2025 reorganization, which moved the press function into an Associate Administrator for External Affairs without describing any legal-position clearance. No Federal Register notice, EPA order or announcement in the window addresses clearance of external communications conveying a legal position.
