EPA Urged to Offer More Flexibility for Small Business

While the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has made progress on reducing the burdens small manufacturing businesses face, testimony from Thomas Sullivan of the SBA asserts that there is room for even more flexibility for smaller companies without sacrificing environmental protection.
America’s small manufacturers face a disproportionate regulatory compliance burden. Small firms spend four and half times as much per employee on environmental compliance as their larger counterparts do.
