The tips and complaints webform is an
online form by which individuals may report tips and complaints
regarding suspected violations of environmental law. Making a tip
or complaint is voluntary and use of the webform in order to submit
a tip or complaint is also voluntary. Tips or complaints received
through the webpage are used by civil and/or criminal enforcement
personnel at EPA to determine whether an investigation is warranted
into the suspected or alleged misconduct.
Increased voluntary usage of
the webform has resulted in an increase in burden hours. There has
been no increase in per filing burden.
