The EPA assists business, industry and government agencies in complying with regulatory requirements and improving environmental performance. Working in partnership with industry, academic institutions, environmental groups, and other federal and state agencies, the EPA has established the National Compliance Assistance Clearinghouse as well as local Compliance Assistance Centers. Various forms of assistance are available through these resources, including workshops, guidance documents, web-based tools, on-site visits, training, hotlines, checklists, case studies, environmental management systems, brochures and videos.
