Federal Facilities Enforcement Office (FFEO)
As part of EPA's Office of Enforcement and
Compliance Assurance (OECA), FFEO is responsible for
ensuring that federal facilities take all necessary actions to
prevent, control and abate environmental pollution. Major
FFEO functions include:
4 Policy and guidance development,
4 Regional program support,
f Interagency agreement negotiation support,
f Enforcement support,
4 Compliance monitoring and targeting support,
and
4 Technical assistance and capacity building.
FFEO is divided into two groups: the Site Remediation
and Enforcement Staff and the Planning, Prevention and
Compliance Staff. Together, these groups develop national
policy and guidance to address the broad range of enforcement
and compliance issues confronting federal facilities.
Site Remediation and Enforcement Staff (SRES)
SRES's efforts primarily involve working with the EPA
Regional offices, other EPA headquarters offices, and federal
agencies to facilitate enforcement under all environmental
statutes and cleanup at federal facilities. For cleanup issues,
SRES works closely with the EPA Federal Facilities
Page 2
-------
Restoration and Reuse Office (FFRRO) on many of these
issues.
Specific SRES responsibilities affect every aspect of
federal facility enforcement, from planning to implementation.
For example, SRES reviews proposed federal legislation and
develops EPA positions on appropriate federal responsibilities
under such legislation. SRES also is involved in developing
federal facility enforcement strategies and in preparing guidance
to assist Regions in their implementation. Finally, SRES is
directly involved in enforcement negotiations, including
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and
Liability Act (CERCLA) interagency agreements,
administrative penalty and/or compliance orders, and in
litigation and enforcement support at federal facilities.
Planning, Prevention, and Compliance Staff (PPCS)
PPCS is responsible for initiatives to prevent
noncompliance at federal facilities and overseeing compliance
assistance and targeting activities.
PPCS tracks and evaluates compliance at Federal
facilities to identify high priority compliance issues and develop
proactive multi-media measures to prevent pollution and reduce
future noncompliance at federal facilities. PPCS works on
enforcement and inspection targeting at federal facilities and
coordinates FFEO's involvement in interagency pollution
prevention and compliance assistance task forces and working
groups. PPCS tracks compliance at federal facilities with
environmental laws, regulations, and Executive Orders;
promotes pollution prevention, multi-media enforcement,
compliance, and environmental justice activities at federal
facilities; and encourages the use of innovative technologies to
attain pollution prevention, compliance, and cleanup goals.

Representative FFEO Program Activities
Enforcement Actions and Negotiations - FFEO
participates in enforcement negotiations, oversees
enforcement activities undertaken by the Regions, and is
responsible for resolving enforcement disputes between
EPA and other agencies. FFEO coordinates with the
Regions on issuing penalty and compliance orders and
agreements. Actions against Federal agencies include
notices of violation, interagency agreements, penalty and
compliance orders, and agreements under all relevant
environmental statutes.
Enforcement Strategies and Policies - FFEO develops
strategies for inspections and enforcement actions to
address non-compliance at federal facilities. FFEO also
issues enforcement policies and guidance on conducting
federal facility enforcement actions under environmental
laws, including the Clean Air Act, the Safe Drinking
Water Act, and the Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act.
Planning of Cleanup Activities - FFEO supports the
implementation of the Superfund program at federal
facilities by helping to establish specific cleanup goals
and objectives, identifying appropriate funding,levels,
and assessing progress in meeting goals and objectives
using the Superfund Comprehensive Accomplishments
Plan (SCAP) and Strategic Targeted Activities for
Results System (STARS).
Federal Facility Compliance Assistance and Pollution
Prevention Activities - FFEO advises federal agencies
on how to comply with environmental laws, regulations,
Page 4
-------
and Executive Orders and how to prevent pollution. FFEO and
EPA Regional offices provide compliance assistance and
pollution prevention information through training, written
policy and guidance, funding pilot projects, EPA's web sites,
and FedSite - EPA's online web-based compliance assistance
center for federal facilities. FFEO also publishes "FedFacs," a
newsletter on current topics impacting federal facilities.
4 Environmental Management Systems - FFEO
advocates the use of Environmental Management
Systems and conducts Environmental Management
Reviews (EMRs) at federal facilities. EMRs are
evaluations of a facility's porgram and management
systems to determine how well the facility has
developed and implemented specific environmental
protection programs to ensure compliance and
environmental excellence. An EMR report contains
recommendations to improve those programs and a
facility's environmental performance.
4 FedEnviroNews-Online ~ Subscribers to this free
computerized information service receive environmental
news and information of interest to federal facilities.
4 Federal Facilities Environmental Justice Activities -
FFEO coordinates environmental justice initiatives
related to federal facilities and works closely with the
Regions on these issues. FFEO supports the Regional
enforcement actions at federal facilities when
environmental justice concerns exist.

Regional Federal Facilities Program Managers (FFPMs)
Federal Facilities Program Managers, in conjunction
with other EPA Regional staff, are responsible for coordinating
the implementation of EPA's federal facilities policies and

Regional point between EPA and the federal facilities. Specific
FFPM responsibilities include:
4 Providing program assistance, (raining, and
outreach for federal facilities.
+ Managing tracking, oversight, and compliance
planning activities.
+ Encouraging pollution prevention at federal
facilities.
+ Coordinating with Regional media program
staff to implement federal facilities enforcement
programs.
By providing a contact for enforcement, compliance,
and outreach activities, FFPMs streamline the federal facility
compliance and enforcement process for both federal facilities
and Regional and Headquarters personnel.
