FOR RELEASE: FRIDAY, FEB. 6, 1998
ENVIRONMENTAL REPORTING PLAN APPROVED
EPA Administrator Carol Browner has approved plans for a paperless system of environmental reporting that will make it easier for the public to locate information while also reducing regulatory burden for government agencies and the regulated community. By establishing common data standards and a universal system for electronic reporting, the “Reinventing Environmental Information (REI) Action Plan” will improve data quality, timeliness and accessibility and allow data integration for multi-media environmental assessment purposes. These reforms will be implemented in cooperation with the States which share responsibility for collecting and reporting data under the nation’s environmental regulatory system.
