Regional Profiles
 AUTHORIZED EPA REGIONAL ORGANIZATION
       In general, the standard Regional organization consists of three programmatic divisions, one
each for air, water, and waste, responsible  for development, coordination, and delivery of their
respective environmental programs in the Region. The programmatic divisions are supported by an
Environmental Services Division which collects, analyzes, and evaluates environmental quality data.
In addition, legal and enforcement support is provided by the Office of Regional Counsel.  Policy
planning, management advice, and administrative management support are provided by the Office of
the Assistant Regional Administrator for Policy and Management. Staff functions such as Congres-
sional and intergovernmental relations and public affairs report directly to the Regional Administrator
and Deputy Regional Administrator. Except in Region I, the civil rights functions report to the Assistant
Regional Administrator.

       In several Regions there are variations from this standard organizational approach.  Some
Regions include toxic substances,  pesticides,  and radiation programs in the Air, Waste, or Environ-
mental Services Divisions.  Finally, in some cases certain emergency response functions are in either
the Waste or Environmental Services Divisions. The depiction of each Region's organizational structure
and characteristics is included with each Region's profile.

       Within the geographic boundaries of each Region there are often EPA facilities that do not report
to the Regional organization. These include Office  of Research and Development laboratories, field
stations  or laboratories  of Headquarters program offices,  program offices themselves, or Office of
Administration and Resources Management units that support Regional and field units.
   ERA'S NATIONAL-REGIONAL RELATIONSHIP
SHARING RESPONSIBILITY

       There is an important division of responsibility between Headquarters and Regional offices. The
national programs are responsible for developing national policies, standards, and guidance; providing
oversight and evaluating progress; and for taking actions that are of national significance or multi-
regional in nature. The national program managers  assure consistent implementation of national
policy through the Regional apparatus.

       The Regional offices are responsible for adapting Federal policies and objectives to state and
local programs, and for providing a single point for Federal contact with state and local government
officials on environmental matters. This includes authorities to negotiate the terms and conditions of
financial assistance awards supporting state  and local  governments; enforcement; negotiate and
monitor delegation agreements; review permits; assess state plans; provide technical assistance; and
maintain appropriate oversight of environmental activity in their Region.

       Where programs are delegated to states, the Regions are responsible for assisting, supporting
and evaluating state  programs. Where programs are not yet delegated to states, the Regions are
responsible for directly carrying out program operations. The older national programs, such as the
water program, tend to be  decentralized,  being largely  delegated to the states with  oversight
responsibility in the Regions. EPA's newer programs,  such as the Superfund program, are delegated
to a lesser degree to the Regions and states.

INCREASING STATE INVOLVEMENT

       During its first decade, EPA placed major emphasis upon large sources of pollution such as
power plants, factories, sewage treatment plants, and automobiles.  Most of these are now subject to
regulations. By contrast, many of the remaining environmental problems reside in a large universe of
relatively small sources.  For example, the Agency is currently focusing on pollution sources such as
gas stations, print shops, dry cleaners, and other small businesses, as well as the ways in which
individuals contribute to pollution from activities such as using fertilizers and pesticides, driving cars,
or having wood stoves in their homes.

       The Agency's traditional regulatory approach of setting national standards and requiring
compliance  cannot effectively address many of these remaining environmental problems. These
smaller, localized sources will require greater responsibility and action by state, county, and city
governments.   State and local entities will have an increasing  role in local management and
implementation of location-specific programs. However, each state is different, and programs within
a state may be at varying levels of capability. The Regional offices are positioned to assure competent
development and implementation of state and local environmental programs in diverse communities.

ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE

       EPA utilizes a "matrix management" structure. Both the Regional Administrators and Assistant
Administrators in Headquarters report directly to the Administrator. At the Regional level. Division
Directors report directly to the Regional Administrator but  also get substantive direction through
Headquarters program guidance and the priority-setting and budget allocation process.

       Each headquarter's national program provides staff positions and funds  to the  Regions
collectively, and those resources are then distributed to the  Regions. Each Region's budget is thus
created by combining the funds provided to it by each national program. Once the Region obtains its
total budget, the Regional Administrator has the responsibility, and the flexibility,  to manage that
budget so as to both meet unique Regional needs and to accomplish program-specific work.

THE LEAD REGION SYSTEM

PURPOSE

EPA is highly decentralized In Its operating management. The purpose of the Lead Region system Is
to ensure the overall quality of Agency decisions by providing an organized,-consistent, and effective
Regional role in all major phases of Agency decision-making and operations.

SCOPE

The Lead Region system promotes Regional participation in a broad range of issues. Examples include
budget development and review; workload model development; Agency guidance and accountability
systems; major regulatory  development and  review; and  participation in research committees.
Program evaluations and other major policy deliberations are also included.  Examples are statutory
reauthorizations, strategic planning efforts, and evolving program implementation issues like Regional
application of risk assessment/risk management concepts.

Since the Lead Region system is a representation of cross-regional concerns, some topics are not
appropriate for it.  Issues that are limited to a single Region should not be handled through the system,
nor Is it intended to restrict the Headquarters or Regional offices from engaging in a free flow of ideas
and information.

KEY PRINCIPLES

To the extent possible, assignments avoid repetition, alternate between programmatic and cross-
cutting  subjects, balance Regions of differing  size and geographic location, and draw on regional
expertise and interest. In addition to Its lead assignment, each Region has a back-up assignment which
will become its lead assignment during the next rotation. This allows each Region to develop expertise
in its future lead assignment, and assures  adequate coverage of major  issues.  Lead Region
assignments are rotated every two years. Where disagreements between the lead Region and relevant
National Program Managers occur on major issues, the Assistant Administrator  or the Regional
Administrator may elevate the Issue to the Administrator or Deputy Administrator for resolution. The
Associate Administrator for Regional Operations and State/Local Relations may be called upon to act
as a mediator or facilitator in resolving the dispute.


ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

The success of the Lead Region system depends on assertive action by both the National Program
Manager and the respective lead Region. This includes establishing the various management level
relationships that are needed to ensure good cooperation and communication.

LEAD REGIONS: The lead Region, principally through the Deputy Regional Administrator (DRA) and
appropriate Division Directorts), is expected to take active steps to ensure Regional involvement in the
major Agency decision-making and management processes. It works closely with the National Program
Manager to identify and synthesize the concerns of all ten Regions into a "Regional view" that can be
factored into Agency  decision-making. The lead Region must also maintain close contact with
Headquarters and keep the other Regions Informed of significant Headquarters actions.

-------
Page 6                               Regional Profiles
NATIONAL PROGRAMS: The national program, particularly through the Deputy Assistant Administrator
and appropriate Office Director(s), must work actively with its lead Region to ensure that the Regions
have effective involvement and representation in major headquarters activities. The national program
must also ensure that the Regions are given adequate time to review and comment on major decisions
and that the lead Region is informed of upcoming meetings and proposed major decisions.

Current back-up Regions will take the lead in October, 1994.  New back-up
assignments will be made in July, 1994.
SUMMARY

       Headquarters and Regional relationships are critical to EPA's success, especially as the Agency
continues the process of delegating responsibility to its Regional offices and to the states. In assisting
state and local efforts, the Regional  offices will need to continue to expand their support through
activities such as training and technology transfer,  enforcement  support, financial assistance,
information resources, and data services.   Assistance will also be needed  to provide credible
InfonnatJon about the risks posed by various contaminants. A management configuration that allows
the Agency to successfully address environmental problems at state and local levels will continue to
be a challenge.

• Regional dollars and  workyears  are from three appropriations: Salaries and
 Expenses, Superfund, and Leaking Underground Storage Tanks.
• In  FY  1986, dollars declined  significantly due  to  the  delay  in  Superfund
 reauthorization. In FY 1987, the large dollar increase was due to the rapid restart up
 of the Superfund program after the larger Trust Fund was enacted.
• The workyear increases in FY 1984-86 and in FY 1988 were primarily in the
 Superfund program.

          • Operating Program regional resources have been relatively stable.
          • In FY  1986, Superfund  resources were  decreased  due to  the  delay  in
           reauthorization. The large increase in FY 1987 was from the pent up demand for site
           work after the Superfund program was reauthorized.
          • Regional allocations for FY  1993 have not been made as of submission of the
           President's Budget.
