“Are you an NPDES permittee or applicant? If so, are you versed in the new USEPA Watershed-Based NPDES technical guidance?

This teleconference will offer vital insight into the permitting authority’s analytical process and will provide critical information for developers, engineers, environmental professionals and attorneys seeking approval under the new watershed-based NPDES permitting.
Learning Objectives:
• The attendee will be able to describe how the new watershed permitting analytical approach differs from the historical approach to permitting.

The most important battleground today between state tax authorities and businesses lies in the area of nexus. It is the critical connection that determines whether businesses must file income, franchise or other entity level returns. In addition, nexus dictates if multistate sellers are liable to collect state and local sales taxes outside their home location. With new statutes in place and court victories backing them, states are aggressively basing their nexus determinations on economic presence and moving away from the traditional physical presence tests. This puts businesses at risk of being out of compliance with filing, payment and collection guidelines to a degree that ultimately damages their financial stability. This teleconference will help multistate enterprises understand this risk and develop strategies to deal with it. After the presentation, you will have a good grasp on nexus in its various forms, be able to identify what types of nexus affect your business, and be able to start planning for optimal tax compliance and where its appropriate to take action steps to mitigate unnecessary state and local tax costs. New, low nexus threshold state taxes are proliferating rapidly like the Michigan Business Tax. State and local tax experts believe that waiting to react to such taxes only increases business risk. This economic Nexus teleconference should be step one for your company.

“Floods are one of the most common and costly natural hazards in our country. Ignorance of the forces that shape and drive the ever increasing attention given lender compliance with federal law and regulation not only places a lender in danger of being cited and fined, but worse, places the lender’s collateral at risk of uninsured loss or even loan default. Complacency in managing the risk or a misunderstanding of the compliance requirement creates a dangerous platform from which to conduct business. Even if you outsource your map determination, flood insurance tracking and force placement processes, you need to retain in-house knowledge of your risk and responsibilities. This teleconference will provide you with a road map from which you will better understand how the flood insurance issue developed, how you must address it, what lies ahead and how you can be a part of shaping that future.
It is recommended you have a copy of the Mandatory Purchase Guidelines booklet the day of the teleconference.”
