opportunity to influence the regulation they will be subject to. This
benefit can also cause problems. By providing all parties a chance

lengthy and difficult to conclude. Some proposed regulations take
several years to become final. EPA is trying to address this problem

of economic development and envkonmental protection so that
economic growth can be sustained over the long term.
Public and private decisions affecting energy, transportation,
agriculture, industry, international trade, and natural resources
fully integrate considerations of envkonmental quality.
National efforts to reduce envkonmental risk are based on
the best available scientific information communicated clearly

2) long-term envkonmental goals that are measurable
interim objectives and milestones;
3) strategies that will be used to achieve those goals, :

it will be done; and
4) measures of progress, such as environmental indie;
will be used as markers to track status, trends, and
