Compliance Assistance

Compliance assistance means helping businesses, federal facilities, local governments and tribes meet their requirements under environmental regulations. EPA partners with compliance assistance providers to develop and deliver compliance assistance resources such as Web sites, compliance guides, fact sheets and training materials. These Web pages describe compliance assistance materials for industry sectors and by statute.

Compliance Assistance works in conjunction with Compliance Incentives and Auditing, Compliance Monitoring and Enforcement. More...

EPA's partners include state and local governments, trade associations, non-profit organizations and educational institutions. EPA serves as a warehouse of information on compliance assistance tools and measures the compliance assistance results.

The National Compliance Assistance Clearinghouse is a compressive database that includes detailed information of upcoming assistance events. The Clearinghouse links to public and private compliance assistance materials. Users may post documents and interact with assistance providers, both within and outside of EPA. The Clearinghouse allows users to search for relevant material on new and existing regulations, pollution prevention opportunities, and voluntary programs that were created by EPA, other federal agencies, tribes, state and local agencies, industry and other organizations.
