The Office of External Affairs (OEA) strives to provide and improve access between the agency and Oklahomans, local, state, and federal agencies, the regulated community, and media professionals.  OEA offers technical assistance and resources.  We assist citizens, businesses, and other groups with environmental stewardship.

We help small businesses navigate the permitting process, which in turn helps Oklahoma be more prosperous.  OEA is dedicated to providing information on how new and existing businesses and industry can meet and, in some cases, exceed environmental responsibilities.
