Statutory Programs Compliance Monitoring
There are 44 statutory programs for which EPA and its regulatory partners perform compliance monitoring activities such as inspections and investigations, oversee imports and exports of environmental substances, and provide training to federal, state, and tribal personnel. Inspection manuals and other guidance provide a uniform framework for EPA’s compliance monitoring activities. Generally, each program is unique to an environmental statute, but some encompass multiple statutes. Some programs are implemented by Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance (OECA) directly, while others are administered by the regions, states, or tribes. Information on what you can do to help assure compliance with environmental laws and regulations can be found at Compliance Incentives and Auditing and Compliance Assistance.
These statutory programs work in conjunction with EPA's Statutory and Regulatory Enforcement program.
