List of EPA Federal Facilities Program Managers
Federal Facilities Enforcement Office (EPA HQ)
The Federal Facilities Enforcement Office (FFEO) is responsible for ensuring that Federal facilities take all necessary actions to prevent, control and abate environmental pollution. FFEO is split into two groups: the Site Remediation and Enforcement Program staff (SRES) and the Planning, Prevention and Compliance Program staff (PPCS). FFEO is mainly responsible for policy and guidance development, enforcement support, compliance monitoring and targeting support to the regions as well as other areas of support to the regions. FFEO is also involved in federal agency technical assistance and capacity building. One of FFEO’s recent successes is FedCenter.gov. FedCenter, the Federal Facilities Environmental Stewardship and Compliance Assistance Center, is collaborative effort between the Office of the Federal Environmental Executive (OFEE), the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Construction Engineering Research Laboratory, and the U.S. EPA Federal Facilities Enforcement Office. FedCenter replaces the previous FedSite as a one-stop source of environmental stewardship and compliance assistance information focused solely on the needs of federal government facilities. Examples of the information available include:
- Environmental Management System (EMS) guidance and lessons learned
- Proposed and newly finalized regulations with environmental impact
- Green purchasing resources and tools
- Pollution prevention tools, processes, and options
- Energy management
- Green buildings guidance, lessons learned, and examples
- Compliance guidance for routine facility activities
- Information on partnering opportunities, award nominations, and available grants.
- Workshops, conferences, and training opportunities
