This petition was filed in response to the President’s Executive Order 13563 “Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review”, where in the President called on all rulemaking goverment agencies to review thier existing regulations and repeal or amend any rules that no longer served a useful purpose.

Lion - Quotes

Lion's online training is more comprehensive, has better slides, and is a superior training experience than what I would get from other trainers.

Robert Brenner

District Environmental Manager

Excellent. I learned more in two days with Lion than at a 5-day program I took with another provider.

I was able to present my scenario to the instructor and worked thru the regulations together. In the past, I attended another training firm's classes. Now, I have no intention of leaving Lion!

I can't say enough how pleased I was with this course! Everything finally makes sense.

This was the 1st instructor that has made the topic actually enjoyable and easy to follow and understand. Far better than the "other" training providers our company has attended!

Very well structured, comprehensive, and comparable to live training seminars I've participated in previously. I will recommend the online course to other colleagues with training requirement needs.
