Regulatory Compliance

Although the Department of Energy is not a regulatory agency, it is affected by a variety of statutes, legislation, regulations, directives and guidance. Many of the current compliance-related actions revolve around waste and material disposition. These include Section 3116 Determinations, Records of Decision, and Environmental Impact Statements. Information about EM's waste and material disposition can be found below. In addition, links to compliance agreements and other compliance-related resources are provided.
