The Office of Inspector General (OIG) for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board, with the exception of our hotline and certain law enforcement functions, is closed due to the federal government shutdown. While the EPA has announced that most of its offices will be open for a limited amount of time, the OIG is independent of the agency and has a separate appropriation. We have determined that, absent an appropriation or continuing resolution, we must shut down. This website will not be monitored or updated until full operations resume.
The OIG hotline may be reached toll-free at 888-546-8740 and via email at OIG_Hotline@epa.gov.
