The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is soliciting input on how well its Compliance Assistance Centers are serving the needs of the people and organizations EPA regulates.

Compliance Assistance Centers are partnerships with industry, academic institutions, environmental groups, and other agencies that help businesses, local governments and federal agencies understand federal environmental requirements and save money through pollution prevention techniques.

Through websites, telephone assistance lines, fax-back systems, and e-mail discussion groups, the centers help address real-world issues.

Once a year, the centers survey their users and first-time visitors on how well they are meeting their goals. The results of the surveys help the centers provide resources for environmental compliance.

Visit the survey webpage to take the three minute survey and visit EPA’s Compliance Assistance Centers webpage for more information on their services.
