To promote compliance, improve understanding and encourage innovative approaches, EPA relies on compliance assistance and compliance incentive activities.
EPA provides compliance assistance to help those who are regulated comply with environmental regulations. EPA strategically targets where regulated entities are having difficulty understanding regulatory requirements, and works to provide educational materials and opportunities that will:
- increase the regulated entities' understanding of their environmental responsibilities
- improve environmental management practices of the regulated entities and
- result in the reduction, treatment or elimination of pollution from their operations.
EPA uses compliance incentives to promote self-policing, improvement in environmental management practices, and reductions of pollutants to the environment. Compliance incentives are aimed at eliminating, reducing or waiving penalties under certain conditions for business, industry and government facilities that voluntarily discover, promptly disclose and expeditiously correct environmental problems.
