Section 507 of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments requires each state establish a Small Business Environmental Assistance Program (SBEAP) to assist small businesses with environmental compliance and emissions reduction. Nationally these SBEAPs have a strong alliance and support system, sharing critical resources that benefit small businesses all across the country. If your state SBEAP would like to get more involved nationally, contact the National Steering Committee chair, your regional representative or Nancy Larson for more information.
