We, the undersigned associations (“Associations”), submit these comments in response to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (“EPA”) request for public comment on the National Enforcement and Compliance Initiatives (NECI) for Fiscal Years 2024-2027.
Together, our associations represent companies from across the economy that strongly value the safety of their employees and neighboring communities. Businesses spend considerable resources to be good neighbors and to comply with regulatory requirements. While the business community recognizes the role of the administrative enforcement and adjudication system, we are interested in advancing fair, accurate, and transparent processes.
