The EPA has developed and maintained an ongoing relationship with the small business community. The Agency works to promote understanding of environmental policy, resolve disputes and offer guidance while also addressing the needs and concerns of small businesses. Through the Small Business Ombudsman, EPA encourages input from small businesses in the development and implementation of standards and regulations. Additionally, the EPA makes funding and expertise available to small businesses engaged in developing cutting-edge technologies that reduce pollution and protect the environment. Through these efforts, EPA seeks to promote commercial ventures that improve our quality of life, create jobs, increase productivity and economic growth, and enhance the international competitiveness of the American small businesses.
