Regulatory Monitoring and Advocacy

EEA monitors and analyzes the client specific implications of Federal and State regulations for many of its manufacturing clients. In this capacity, EEA keeps the clients informed of upcoming changes in time to participate in the rulemaking process. In support of advocacy, EEA assists in preparing relevant technical analyses, developing regulatory alternatives, and drafting testimony and written comments. EEA also assists in proactive industry efforts to obtain changes to current rules. In addition to advocacy support, EEA provides understandable summaries of new rules for company newsletters, conducts regulatory training at client facilities and develops regulatory forecasts used in product and facilities capital planning. For example EEA maintains a database of air regulations affecting power generators. We also maintain a database of air and other regulations that affect small power generators. Key issues that EEA has been involved in include nearly all aspects of the implementation of the Clean Air Act, EPA policies on the toxicity of selected chemicals, and the reform of regulatory structures under this Administration.
