The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) uses information technology extensively to carry out its day-to-day activities and its programmatic mission. In doing so, EPA generates a large volume of records, primarily in electronics form. These records are often of long-term or permanent value to the Agency and to the nation. Their management, in electronic or paper form, is governed by Federal regulations, the Agency's documentation requirements, and program needs. |
