SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The GPRA Modernization Act of 2010 (Pub. L. 111-352), holds federal
agencies accountable for using resources wisely and achieving program
results. Specifically, the GPRA Modernization Act requires agencies to
develop: Strategic Plans, which include a mission statement, set out
long-term goals, objectives, and strategic measures, and describe
strategies to achieve them over a four-year time horizon; two-year
Agency Priority Goals to advance progress toward the highest
priorities; Annual Performance Plans, which provide annual performance
measures and activities toward the long-term Strategic Plan; and,
Annual Performance Reports, which evaluate an agency's success in
achieving the annual performance measures.
The Strategic Plan reflects the Administrator's priorities for
advancing the Agency's mission to protect human health and the
environment by setting three strategic goals:
Core Mission: Deliver real results to provide Americans
with clean air, land, and water.
Cooperative Federalism: Rebalance the power between
Washington and the states to create tangible environmental results for
the American people.
Rule of Law and Process: Administer the law, as Congress
intended, to refocus the Agency on its statutory obligations under the
law.
This Strategic Plan includes objectives and strategies for
achieving the strategic goals, and establishes strategic measures and
FY 2018-2019 Agency Priority Goals by which EPA will hold itself
accountable to monitor progress in improving significantly the way EPA
does business and environmental benefits, engaging closely with public
sector partners at all levels and the regulated community.
