Effective EPA Advocacy (2014 Edition), by Richard G. Stoll, provides a practical perspective on conducting effective advocacy before the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in both the rulemaking process and the (equally if not more important) decision-making processes outside the rulemaking context, such as the issuance of interpretative memoranda, guidance documents, and letter rulings.

Based on the author's observations and insights from eight years in the EPA's Office of General Counsel and more than twenty-five years in the private sector representing clients in matters before the EPA, Effective EPA Advocacy explains what goes on behind-the-scenes in the making of important national laws (regulations are, after all, laws). The book also includes summary coverage of the fundamentals of major environmental statutes and a brief overview of the federal rulemaking and judicial review processes. The 2014 Edition includes new descriptions of internal processes at the EPA and offers many updated examples of rulemaking.
