The ingenuity and entrepreneurial spirit embodied by small business is an integral component of America's progressive development. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is committed to working with small business to ensure that America's building blocks can continue to be both environmental stewards and financial successes. EPA commitment includes a dedicated division specifically created to act as an advocate for small business. EPA's Small Business Division (SBD) and Small Business Ombudsman (SBO) serve as the gateway for small business' access to EPA's resources and information. The SBD works with federal and state environmental programs to ensure that EPA addresses small business needs and unique circumstances. In addition, the SBD provides compliance assistance and helps small business navigate and take advantage of the vast network of resources. As part of EPA's continued effort to support small business, A Re- source Directory of Small Business Assistance Environmental Providers was created to foster a partnership between small business and environmental assistance providers. The directory is an easy-to-use quick reference of the key federal, state and private programs that can address small business environmental compliance, pollution prevention and other related questions and concerns. Comments or questions concerning this directory should be directed to the SBD at (800) 368-5888. ------- ------- This Resource Directory of Small Business Environmental Assistance Providers is designed to provide you with an easy-to-use guide to key environmental assistance providers for small businesses. This introduction provides a road map to the rest of the directory and descriptions of the federal, state, and private resources included in the directory. The directory was developed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Small Business Division (SBD). The SBD houses the EPA Small Business Ombudsman (SBO), which was created specifically to address small business concerns, and to provide a conduit for information exchange and communication with the EPA. The mission of the SBD and SBO is to foster environmental compliance and to advocate for the needs and interests of the small business community in the area of compliance with environ- mental regulations. The SBD/SBO's primary customer group is the nation's small business community. Significant secondary customer groups include state small business assistance programs, which include small business ombudsmen, technical assistance programs, and Compliance Advisory Panels (CAP). Other customer groups include national small business trade associations and EPA regional small business liaisons. The SBD/SBO provides one-stop-relief to its customers by performing functions including the following: » Provides a convenient way for small businesses to access EPA (including a toll free hotline); » Facilitates communication between the small business community and EPA, including the development of plain language guides to environmental regulations; « Investigates and helps to resolve disputes among stakeholders; and Works with EPA personnel supporting the development and enforce- ment of regulations to increase their understanding of small businesses. The directory is composed of five sections: (1) introduction, (2) federal resources, (3) state resources, (4) private resources and (5) additional information. The road map describes how you can use the federal, state, and private sections to find the resources you need. This introduction section includes a description of each type of resource so that you know which services are available from each resource. ------- the is The remaining three sections of this manual list contact information for environmental assistance resources as shown in the table below. Federal Resources State Resources Private Resources Key federal resources for environmental issues and safety and health concerns, including: EPA (several listings), OSHA, SBA and NIST MEP. State resources for each of 'the following:.SBO, SBAP, P2, SBDC, OSHA, Permit. Assistance and:other state resources, as .space allows. Key state trade associations are also listed under "state resources." Trade associations that are often used by small businesses, with environ- mental contacts listed. The federal section uses the symbol at the bottom of tne page to indicate that you are in the Federal Section. The state section uses the symbpl at the bottom, of each page. Each state or territory (and the District of . Columbia] is listed in alphabetical order. . The private section uses the symbol at the bottom of each page. Four primary resources are listed first, followed by a range of other associations listed in alphabetical order. * Full titles for these organizations are provided under the descriptions that follow in this introduction. the is In each section, the title, web site address and phone number(s) are included for each organization (note: not all organizations have a web site or phone number). If an organization has a toll free number, it is also listed. A (N) following a toll free number indicates a national number that you can use from any state. A (S) indicates a toll free number that is available to users in that specific state. While we cannot list all of the resources that are available for environmen- tal assistance, we have included key environmental assistance resources at the federal, state, and private level that can assist you or direct you to additional resources. For example, the state resources that are listed also can direct you to county or local resources, where they are available. While we have provided current information as of March 2002, we are aware that web sites and phone numbers sometimes change. If any of the data in this manual changes, please call the SBO at ------- (800) 368-5888 (N) or one of the other resources listed to get updated information. Federal resources included in the manual are described below. EPA resources are listed first and include the SBO (with the Small Business Environmental Home Page, SBREFA and RFA contacts), the Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assistance (OECA), the RCRA/Superfund/ EPCRA Hotline, the Compliance Assistance Centers, the National Compli- ance Assistance Clearinghouse, the National Compliance Advisory Panel, the EPA Small Business Gateway and EPA Regional Contacts. Other federal resources include the Occupational Safety and Health Administra- tion, the U.S. Small Business Administration, and the National Institute for Standards and Technology Manufacturing Extension Partnership. (Note: Contact information is listed for each resource in the respective sections) EPA The Small Business Ombudsman (SBO) office was established in 1982. The SBO serves as a conduit for small businesses to access the EPA and facilitates communications between the small business community and EPA. The SBO is responsible for reviewing and helping to resolve disputes that arise between EPA and the small business community and tries to increase EPA's understanding of small businesses in the develop- ment and enforcement of environmental regulations. The SBO serves as a liaison between small businesses and the EPA to promote understand- ing of EPA policy and small business needs and concerns. It provides guidance on the development of national policies and regulations that impact small businesses. It also maintains a small business hotline that provides regulatory and technical assistance information and maintains and distributes an extensive collection of informational and technical literature developed by the various EPA program offices. The SBO also supports the Small Business Environmental Home Page. The SBO also aides in tracking development and implementation of regulations affecting small business in support of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, as amended by the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act. Short descriptions of these acts are provided below. Small Business Environmental Home Page The Small Business Environmental Home Page helps small businesses access environmental compliance and pollution prevention information. The site also maintains a SBO-Small Business Assistance Programs (SBAP) Listserve which is ideal for sharing information and ideas in a convenient and effective way with SBAPs, SBOs, small businesses, trade associations, technical assistance programs, and others inter- ------- ested in environmental compliance and pollution prevention issues for the small business community. (SBREFA) The Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act (SBREFA), Public Law No. 104-121, was signed into law on March 29, 1996, amend- ing the Regulatory Flexibility Act (discussed below). SBREFA requires EPA to convene a small business advocacy review panel before proposing any rule that will have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. It also allows small entities ad- versely affected by a final rule to challenge the agency's compliance with requirements of the RFA in court. Six key areas are included to foster a government environment that is more responsive to small business and other entities, including: (1) regulatory compliance simplification (including plain language guides), (2) equal access to the Justice Act Amendments (which address provisions under which small business attorney fees and court costs may be recovered), (3) congres- sional review of regulations, (4) regulatory enforcement reform of penalties, (5) small business advocacy review panels and (6) regulatory enforcement reforms. SBREFA establishes a national ombudsman and 10 regional regulatory fairness boards to provide small businesses with the opportunity to comment on enforcement activity by federal regulatory agencies. This allows small businesses a way to express their views and share their experiences. The national ombudsman and fairness boards receive this input and prepare an annual report to Congress. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), 5 U.S.C. §§§§ 601 et seq, was signed into law on September 19, 1980. The RFA imposes both analytical and procedural requirements on EPA and on other federal agencies. The analytical requirements call for EPA to carefully con- sider the economic impact that rules will have on small entities. The procedural requirements are intended to ensure that small entities have a voice when EPA makes policy determinations in shaping its rules. This act was amended by SBREFA (discussed above). (OECA) The EPA Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance (OECA), working in partnership with EPA Regional Offices, State Govern- ments, Tribal Governments and other Federal agencies, ensures compliance with the nation's environmental laws. Employing an integrated approach of compliance assistance, compliance incen- tives and innovative civil and criminal enforcement, OECA and its partners seek to maximize compliance and reduce threats to public health and the environment. This office can provide information on a ------- number of EPA policies designed to assist small businesses with environmental compliance including: (1) the Small Business Compli- ance Policy, (2) the Policy on Environmental Self-Policing, (3) the Enforcement Response Policy and (4) the Revised Audit Policy. EPA and The EPA RCRA, Superfund, and EPCRA hotline is a publicly acces- sible service that provides up-to-date information on several EPA programs. The call center also responds to requests for relevant publications and information resources. (CAC) The EPA, in partnership with industry, academic institutions, environ- mental groups, other federal and state agencies and local govern- ments, have established the following ten sector-specific Compliance Assistance Centers (CAC): « CCARGreenLink « ChemAlliance « Local Government Environmental Assistance « FedSite National Agriculture Compliance Assistance Center « National Metal Finishing Resource Center Paints and Coatings Resource Center « Printed Wiring Board Resource Center » Printers' National Environmental Assistance Center « Transportation Environmental Resource Center Each CAC provides a wide range of environmental information for its targeted sector. The National Compliance Assistance Clearinghouse is a comprehensive source of compliance assistance information and resources and is intended to aid the day-to-day function of those who help industry comply with EPA or State environmental regulations. The web site contains a Provider's Directory to help users find experts quickly and provides users easy access to many compliance assistance tools and web links. It also allows the users to communicate with each other easily through the communication forum. The Clearinghouse provides links to EPA and other federal agencies, state and local governments, tribal agencies, and other sources of compliance assistance information available online. ------- (CAP) Section 507 of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1 990 requires that each state have a Compliance Advisory Panel (state CAP) as part of its state technical assistance program for small businesses. The state CAP evalu- ates the effectiveness of the state assistance programs, reports to EPA on assistance efforts and makes sure that information prepared for small businesses is clear and understandable. The National CAP was formed to further foster small business success through improved environmental performance by assisting in the development, implementation and continued improvement of the state CAPs. It also facilitates communication among businesses, state programs, the SBO/SBAP Steering Committee and the EPA. The National CAP held its first meeting in 2001 and includes one state CAP member and one alternate from each EPA region. The National CAP contact can direct you to further state CAP information. EPA The EPA Small Business Gateway provides environmental information and contacts for small businesses. The Gateway consists of an Internet site that provides links to general small business and environmental information; environmental assistance and technical help; environmental contacts and experts; environmental regulations and laws; and other federal assistance. EPA is divided into 10 geographic regions as shown below. ------- EPA regions have established regional contacts for small business and pollution prevention. Regional EPA contacts that are listed include: (1) the main number for each region, (2) small business liaisons for each region and (3) pollution prevention technical assistance program contacts for each region. Pollution prevention resource exchange contacts for each region are also listed although these parties may not be located in the EPA regional office. Based on what region you are located in, you can use these contacts to support your compliance and pollution prevention efforts. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) was created in 1971. OSHA offers many resources designed specifically for smaller employers and encourages all businesses to establish safety and health programs to help prevent workplace injuries and illnesses. OSHA offers a free consultation service to help employers identify potential hazards at their work sites, improve their occupa- tional safety and health management systems and even qualify for a one-year exemption from routine OSHA inspections. OSHA Consultation Program OSHA offers a free consultation service to employers to find out about potential hazards at their worksites, improve their occupational safety and health management systems, and even qualify for a one-year exemption from routine OSHA inspections. The service is delivered by state governments using well-trained professional staff. Most consulta- tions take place on-site, though limited services away from the worksite are available. The service is confidential and no citations are issued or penalties proposed. The only obligation will be to commit yourself to correcting serious job safety and health hazards, a commitment which you are expected to make prior to the actual visit and carry out in a timely manner. In many states, employers may participate in the OSHA Consultation Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program (SHARP). This program provides incentives and support to smaller, high-hazard employers to develop, implement and continu- ously improve effective safety and health programs at their worksite(s). The program recognizes employers who have demonstrated exem- plary achievements in workplace safety and health by receiving a comprehensive safety and health consultation visit, correcting all workplace safety and health hazards, adopting and implementing effective safety and health management systems, and agreeing to request further consultative visits if major changes in working conditions or processes occur that may introduce new hazards. Employers meeting these specific program requirements may be exempt from regular scheduled OSHA inspections for one year. ------- (SBA) The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) was established in 1953 and provides financial, technical and management assistance to America's small businesses. SBA is the nation's largest single financial backer of small businesses with a portfolio of business loans, loan guarantees and disaster loans worth more than $45 billion, in addition to a venture capital portfolio of $13 billion. Office of the National Ombudsman The Office of the National Ombudsman was established within SBA by the U.S. Congress and its services are provided at no fee to the public. The mission and goal of the SBA National Ombudsman is to foster a more small business friendly federal regulatory enforcement environment and conduct ten roundtable meetings and hearing and increase small business comments each year. The National Ombuds- man also acts as a liaison between small business concerns and federal agencies with regulatory authority. Office of Advocacy The Office of Advocacy was created within SBA by the U.S. Con- gress in 1976 to protect, strengthen and effectively represent the nation's small businesses within the federal government's legislative and rule-making processes. The Office of Advocacy works to reduce the burdens that federal policies impose on small firms and to maximize the benefits that small businesses receive from the govern- ment. The Office of Advocacy's mission is to encourage policies that support the development and growth of American small business. Small Business Development Center (SBDC) The SBA administers the Small Business Development Center (SBDC) Program to provide management assistance to current and prospective small business owners. SBDCs offer one-stop assistance to small businesses by providing a wide variety of information and guidance in central and easily accessible branch locations. SBDC assistance is tailored to the local community and the needs of individual clients. Each SBDC has a director, staff members, volunteers and part-time personnel. Qualified individuals recruited from professional and trade associations, the legal and banking community, academia, chambers of commerce and the Service Corps of Retired Executives (SCORE) are among those who donate their services. SBDCs also use paid consultants, consulting engineers and testing laboratories from the private sector to help clients who need specialized expertise. Each center develops services in cooperation with local SBA district offices to ensure statewide coordina- tion with other available resources. The SBA provides 50 percent or less of the operating funds for each state SBDC; one or more sponsors ------- provide the rest. These matching fund contributions are provided by state legislatures, private sector foundations and grants, state and local chambers of commerce, state-chartered economic development corpora- tions, public and private universities, vocational and technical schools, community colleges, etc. Increasingly, sponsors contributions exceed the minimum 50 percent matching share. FlrstGov FirstGov is the official U.S. gateway to all government information and the catalyst for a growing electronic government. FirstGov's web site connects the world to all U.S. government information and services. FirstGov.gov is an interagency initiative administered by the U.S. General Services Administration. The web site provides a powerful search engine. An ever-growing collection of topical and customer-focused links connects one to millions of web pages - including the federal government, local and tribal governments and foreign nations around the world. On FirstGov.gov, you can search more than 51 million web pages from federal and state govern- ments, District of Columbia (D.C.), and U.S. territories. Most of these pages are not available on commercial web sites. FirstGov has the most comprehensive search of government information available anywhere on the Internet. (NIST) (MEP) The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Manufac- turing Extension Partnerships (MEP) is a nationwide network of not- for-profit centers in more than 400 locations nationwide, whose sole purpose is to provide small- and medium-sized manufacturers with the help they need to succeed. The centers, serving all 50 States and Puerto Rico, are linked together through the U.S. Department of Commerce's (DOC) NIST. Each center has the ability to assess where a company stands today, to provide technical and business solutions, to help create successful partnerships and to support learning through seminars and training programs. Descriptions of the directory's environmental resources for states, U.S. territories and D.C. are listed below. The state level resources included are the Small Business Ombudsman (SBO), the Small Business Assis- tance Program (SBAP), the State Pollution Prevention (P2) Program, the Small Business Development Center (SBDC), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Permit Assistance Program, ------- as applicable. These resources are also described in the federal resources descriptions in greater detail. Other resources listed in the state section include the state contact for key trade associations for small businesses, including: the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), the International Fabricare Institute (IFI) and the Printing Industries of America (PIA). These resources are listed in the same order for each state, territory and for D.C.

Other state, county, and local re- sources also may be available to you; information regarding those resources can be obtained by contacting the primary state resources listed in this resource manual. (SBO) The state Small Business Ombudsman (SBO) assists small businesses in complying with environmental rules and serves as a liaison between the state environmental agency, small business, local governments and the general public to keep these groups informed of regulatory changes and opportunities for compliance assistance. (SBAP) The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 required that all states develop a program to assist small businesses in meeting the require- ments of the Act. Since then, state Small Business Assistance Pro- grams (SBAP) have been established in most states; in some cases, their role has expanded to provide technical assistance in other environmental areas, including water and waste issues. (P2) The state Pollution Prevention (P2) programs offer information and technical assistance to get small businesses started with P2. Support can include free, confidential on-site assessments and telephone consultations; industry-specific fact sheets and case studies; training programs; technical workshops; and presentations to trade and industrial organizations. (SBDC) The Small Business Development Center (SBDC) in your state operates as a partnership between the state and the SBA. SBDCs provide business counseling, information on financial assistance, procurement and business start-up and library resources. Training is customized and tailored to meet the diverse needs of small business owners. 10 ------- The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) operates under an approved plan with the U.S. Department of Labor to retain jurisdiction over occupational safety and health issues within the state. OSHA provides assistance to employers about workplace safety and health issues. Consultative assistance is provided to employers through on-site visits, telephone support, publications and educational outreach. The Permit Assistance program in some states serve as a central source of assistance for business owners seeking guidance with state- specific permit application and approval processes. These contacts help small businesses (1) identify the permits they need, (2) complete the application process and (3) move applications through the review and approval process. They also share information on new, cost-effective environmental compliance technologies and financial and business assistance programs available through federal, state or local agencies.
