The Rights of Small Entities to Enforcement Fairness
and Policy against
Retaliation
The Saint Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation (SLSDC) has a policy
regarding the rights of small entities to regulatory enforcement fairness
and an explicit SLSDC policy against retaliation for exercising these
rights.
Your Rights to Enforcement Fairness
Our objective is to ensure a fair regulatory enforcement environment. If you
feel you have been treated unfairly or unprofessionally, you may contact
Craig H. Middlebrook at 202/366-0091 or
craig.middlebrook@sls.dot.gov. You also have a right to contact the
Small Business Administration’s National Ombudsman at 1-888-REGFAIR or
www.sbs.gov/ombudsman regarding
the fairness of the compliance and enforcement activities by this agency.
Policy against Retaliation
The Saint Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation strictly forbids
retaliatory acts by its employees. As such, you should feel confident that
you will not be penalized for expressing your concerns about compliance and
enforcement activities.
