“Restoring the guidance portal to ensure that regulatory and subregulatory standards are clear to affected entities.”
What has happened
- Done
The guidance portal is back. EPA relaunched its comprehensive guidance document website, which it said had been "[l]aunched in President Trump's first term to promote transparency" and then "abruptly shuttered and removed from public view during the Biden-Harris Administration". The site is live and maintained — last updated 2026-08-17 — and indexes active guidance across headquarters programs.

What was searched, and what didn’t count as evidence
Research notes
- The portal exists and is maintained: epa.gov/guidance was last updated 2026-08-17 and carries the relaunch announcement.
- The Quote’s purpose — that regulatory and subregulatory standards be clear to affected entities — is what the portal is for; the site describes itself as a one-stop shop for EPA’s active guidance documents.
