Abstract |
The EPA Sector Program Plan 2001-2005 takes sector programs a step forward at the Environmental Protection Agency, completing the transition from an experimental phase to the routine use of sector approaches as part of the Agency's mainstream activities. The Plan describes the ways in which sector approaches now are used by EPA and other government agencies to achieve enhanced environmental protection with less regulatory burden. It also identifies a set of strategic actions to enhance EPA's work with industry sectors. The Sector Program Plan builds upon lessons from earlier sector pilot programs and ongoing activities, inside and outside the Agency. |
