Regulatory Reporting
Increased focus on regulatory enforcement, Homeland Security and electronic filing requirements is changing the regulatory landscape. At the same time, companies face growing pressure to limit fines, reduce costs and manage the ever-changing web of local, state, county and city regulations. 3E Regulatory Reporting services streamline and simplify the regulatory reporting compliance process, providing a valuable solution for customers with multiple facilities, limited and/or decentralized EH&S staff or knowledge and those who want to centralize their regulatory reporting and permitting.
3E's Regulatory Specialists annually complete and submit nearly 8,000 disclosures and permits, maintain active relationships with thousands of regulatory agencies and jurisdictional authorities, and track tens of thousands of individual compliance reporting tasks.

3E Compliance Calendar & Disclosures
Taking 3E Regulatory Reporting Services one step further, 3E can take the information gathered from the Regulatory Research and Analysis and create a Calendar program to track and fulfill the necessary reports and disclosures. 3E maintains a database including agencies and contact information, reporting requirements, due dates and associated fees. This service is provided on an on-going basis, or as needed, with annual reporting and maintenance of historical records for seven years.
