The Federal 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments required states to establish a Small Business Environmental Assistance Program (SBEAP) to provide technical, administrative, and regulatory support for small businesses. The SBEAP staff serve as a liaison between the regulatory agencies and small business. The SBEAP does not have regulatory enforcement authority. Confidentiality is maintained when representing the interest of a small business. The types of assistance provided through the SBEAP include:

 

» Informing businesses of requirements in the Act that apply to them as well as any applicable dates

 

» Maintaining a list of affected industry for information distribution

 

» Disseminating up-to-date information about the Act to the small business community, including easy to understand public information materials

 

» Helping small businesses deal with specific technical, administrative, and compliance problems

 

» Making necessary referrals

 

» Providing training opportunities
