Federal Regulatory Strategy for Client Priorities
ENS helps clients understand and respond to federal regulatory developments, from rulemakings to guidance and memorandums, as they affect operations and infrastructure projects.
Overview
How ENS Works on Regulatory Strategy
ENS Resources tracks and monitors regulatory activity at federal agencies relevant to client priorities, keeping clients ahead of proposed rules, guidance, and other agency actions as they develop. ENS Resources translates this activity into regulatory reports and matrices that summarize agency actions and explain their relevance and potential impact to each client's specific interests. ENS Resources explains what the action means in practical terms, helps the client understand its stakes in the process, and works with clients to craft action plans for engaging policymakers and agency staff on regulatory actions of concern, positioning clients to make their views known as agencies work toward a final outcome.
Capabilities
What Regulatory Strategy Looks Like
ENS regulatory strategy covers four connected areas:
01
Rulemaking Monitoring
Tracking the federal rulemakings with potential benefits or adverse impacts on client operations and projects.
02
Regulatory Positioning
Helping clients cogently articulate their concerns and recommended improvements as part of the federal regulatory development processes.
03
Framework Navigation
Navigating frameworks such as the Clean Water Act, WOTUS, and NEPA permitting.
04
Compliance Planning Support
Helping agencies understand and plan ahead of new federal requirements as rules and guidance evolve.
What This Means For ENS Resources’ Clients
ENS Resources continuously monitors federal regulatory activity from agencies whose actions touch a client's core issue areas from the initial proposal’s publication to public comment deadline to final action. The firm reports on each development in plain language, summarizing what the agency proposed, what stage of the process it's in, and what deadlines or hearings are attached to it. This tracking, reporting, and explanation cycle gives clients the lead time and context to decide how to engage, whether through formal comments, coordination with allied organizations, or direct outreach to the agency, before a rule is finalized.
