The Agency Primacy Rules require regulations to be consistent with which federal regulation?

• A. 40 CFR Part 4
• B. 40 CFR Part 3
• C. 40 CFR Part 2
• D. 40 CFR Part 7

Answer: (B)

Agency Primacy Rules are about making sure any regulation the agency issues fits within the standard procedures the agency uses for rulemaking and public involvement. The federal regulation that establishes those general procedures for EPA actions sets how notices are issued, how the public can participate, and how hearings are conducted. Requiring consistency with these procedures ensures a uniform, fair, and transparent process across all regulatory actions. The other parts address more specific topics like information access or handling of records, not the broad procedural framework that primacy rules rely on.
