What Does AOC Stand For?
AOC stands for Administrative Order Of Consent
The Administrative Order of Consent (AOC) is a legally binding agreement issued by regulatory agencies, typically in environmental contexts, that allows for the voluntary compliance of a party with specified terms and conditions. It serves to resolve regulatory issues by outlining necessary actions, timelines, and penalties for non-compliance, thereby facilitating cooperation between the agency and the responsible party while ensuring adherence to applicable laws and regulations.
