Reorganization Plan No. 3
Reorganization Plan No. 3
(, ) was an
executive order
submitted to the
United States
Congress
on July 9, 1970 by
President
Richard Nixon
establishing the
Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) and setting forth the components of the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA). The order consolidated components from different
Federal

environmental protection laws
. Unlike other agencies such as
OSHA
, the EPA was not established by a single
enabling act
of Congress.
