Security Information
Oral arguments before the EAB are open to the public and can occur virtually or in person. The “Upcoming Oral Arguments” link has information on accessing oral arguments virtually.

For oral arguments that are held in person, for security purposes, advance notice is required to gain entry into the EPA building where the Administrative Courtroom is located. To attend an oral argument in the Administrative Courtroom, you will be required to pass through a magnetometer and your bags will be screened by an x-ray machine. You are required to show a photo ID issued by a government agency, e.g., a valid driver’s license.

Persons wishing to attend oral argument in the Administrative Courtroom should notify the Clerk of the Board at least one week prior to oral argument to allow the Clerk reasonable opportunity to notify appropriate security personnel. Any party or member of the public interested in attending an oral argument, in person or virtually, who requires an accommodation due to a disability should notify the Clerk of the Board at least one week prior to oral argument. The Clerk of the Board can be reached either by emailing Clerk_EAB@epa.gov, or by calling 202-233-0122.

Cell phones should be turned off during an oral argument.
