Welcome to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Environmental Appeals
Board Homepage. The Appeals Board is the final Agency decisionmaker
on administrative appeals under all major environmental statutes that the
Agency administers. It is an impartial body independent of all
Agency components outside the immediate Office of the Administrator. The
Board typically sits in panels of three judges and makes decisions by majority
vote. Currently, nine experienced attorneys serve as counsel
to the Board.
The Board has issued A
Citizens' Guide to EPA's Environmental Appeals Board., which is a
plain language guide for members of the public participating in matters
before the Board.
