EPA policy is establishedthrough several methods, including:
EPA Orders: Orders are internalEPA policy re for EPA staff and they are often theAgency's interpretation or implementation of broader governmentwide re or EPA regulations. Orders must go through theAgency's directives clearance process.
Policy Issuances: Policyissuances are also EPA policy re and include GrantsPolicy Issuances (GPI) and Recipient/Applicant Information Notices(RAIN). These issuances are generally more specific than EPAOrders.
Program Guidance: Programoffices may have guidance not codified in the Code of FederalRegulations, but issued to assist applicants in preparingapplications.
环保局的政策是通过几种方法制定的，包括：
环保局命令：命令是环保局内部对环保局工作人员的政策要求，通常是环保局对更广泛的政府要求或环保局法规的解释或实施。订单必须通过该机构的指令审批程序。
政策发布：政策发布也是美国环保局的政策要求，包括拨款政策发布（GPI）和接受者/申请人信息通知（RAIN）。这些发布通常比EPA命令更具体。
项目指南：项目办公室可能有未编入《联邦法规》的指南，但发布这些指南是为了帮助申请人准备申请。
