USWAG urged EPA to publish formal notice of the guidance documents in the Federal Register in order to "reach a broader audience than simply those individuals who have signed up for EPA's vapor intrusion listserv or who happen to visit EPA's vapor intrusion website – and to provide for a 60-day comment period beginning with the date of publication in the Federal Register." USWAG emphasized the importance of public participation in light of the fact that the guidance documents "appear more like a rule, likely to be applied in a prescriptive manner by EPA (and, potentially, state agencies)" potentially in violation of the Administrative Procedure Act, which forbids agencies from substituting guidance documents for regulations in order to avoid the formal rulemaking process. USWAG further noted that OMB had warned that "absent adequate public participation, guidance documents may suffer from ill-conceived design and/or lead to improper implementation." Despite these comments, EPA has not announced any intention to publish notice of the public comment period in the Federal Register or to promulgate vapor intrusion regulations.
