Organic Act of the Environmental Protection Administration, Executive Yuan Article 3

If, with regard to matters under its authority, the EPA deems that an order or disciplinary action of a special municipality, county or city government violates laws or regulations or exceeds said government ’ s scope of authority, or that such a government has failed to enforce laws or regulations that must be enforced, the EPA may request the Executive Yuan to stop or rescind such an order or disciplinary action, or take appropriate action. In emergency circumstances, however, the EPA may issue an order to stop or rescind the order or disciplinary action, or take appropriate action prior to the result from such request.
