Office of Regional Counsel Resource List
The Office of Regional Counsel (ORC) has assigned individual attorneys to explore various legal issues that frequently arise in matters involving the ORC. Each attorney acts as a central information resource for all ORC staff.
If you would like further information about a topic, you may telephone the ORC attorney who is listed as the contact. The main telephone number for ORC is (913) 551-7010 or you may link to the EPA National People Locator for direct phone numbers . While these contacts cannot discuss any privileged or deliberative information, nor can they render legal advice, they may be able to answer general questions and refer you to other possible information resources.
