  SYNOPSIS OF MAJOR ISSUES
GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE
Recent scientific evidence shows increasing concentrations of carbon dioxide and other radiatively
active gases which are contributing to a gradual warming of the earth's atmosphere. EPA is working
domestically and internationally to improve our understanding of the causes and effects of global
climate change and to develop policy options which will enable us to limit and/or adapt to the potential
warming.

  SYNOPSIS OF MAJOR ISSUES CONT.
STRATOSPHERIC OZONE DEPLETION
Depletion of the earth's stratospheric ozone layer, which protects us from the harmful ultraviolet rays
of the sun, is a serious environmental issue.  The United States is now working to implement the
Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, an international agreement which
seeks to freeze and eventually halve global production and use of ozone depleting substances by 1998.

TRANSBOUNDART MOVEMENT OF HAZARDOUS WASTE
As a result of the Increased U.S. requirements for safe and environmentally sound disposal, Interest
in exporting hazardous waste has risen. These  interests are manifested by increased activity in
Congress and in the international arena through the Organization for Economic Cooperation and
Development (OECD) and the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP). Congressional action on
the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act reauthorization appears likely in 1989. The schedule for
completion of the OECD and the UNEP Conventions is late 1988 and March 1989, respectively. These
activities will impact the export program.

US-CANADA NEGOTIATIONS ON AIR QUALITY ACCORD
The United States and Canada agree that acid deposition is a serious transboundary environmental
problem.  Discussions regarding an  accord to address this issue  have taken place as part of
implementing the recommendations of the US-Canada Special Envoys Report on Acid Rain.  These
discussions are expected to continue soon after the new Administration is established.

SAN DIEGO/TIJUANA SEWAGE PROBLEM
Problems with raw sewage flowing from Tijuana into U.S. waters have continued since the 1930's, but
are now reaching critical proportions due to the rapid expansion of Tijuana in the last decade. In 1989
the Agency will address decisions on inclusion of budget funds in FY1990 and FY1991 for EPA to begin
design of long-term solutions or whether to provide funds to the International Boundary and Water
Commission (IBWC) for design of solutions.

US-USSR ENVIRONMENTAL AGREEMENT
In May 1972, the US and USSR Heads of State signed an Agreement on Cooperation in Environmental
Protection. EPA, as Executive Agency to that Agreement, will host the  12th Joint Committee Meeting
in Washington. A schedule for the meeting must be decided in early 1989.

INITIAL ORGANIZATION

EPA was created through an Executive reorganization plan designed to consolidate a number of federal
environmental activities into a single agency. In 1970, EPA's first Administrator.WilliamRuckelshaus,
published an organizational order providing for the designation of Assistant Administrators for
Planning and Management, Standards and Enforcement and General Counsel, and Research and
Monitoring. The five principal categorical programs -air, water, solid wastes, radiation and pesticides
were retained individually under the management of commissioners.

FURTHER REORGANIZATION

The organizational history of the Office of the  Administrator has always reflected the personal
management style of the Administrator.  In 1970, the Office of the Administrator Included Public
Affairs, Legislative Liaison, International Activities and Equal Opportunity. In 1971, Legislative Liaison
changed its name to Legislation emphasizing its role in developing and reviewing legislative proposals.
In 1971, there was the addition of a fifth staff office, the Office of Federal Activities. It was designed
to oversee environmental impact statements and the implementation of environmental policies in
Federal agencies.

In 1972, Equal Opportunity was reorganized functionally to the Office of Civil Rights and Urban Affairs
and involved itself in environmental initiatives in the Washington, D.C.community. The Office existed
for two years before it returned to the standard equal opportunity functions and was retitled Civil Rights
in 1974.

The Science Advisory Board was added in 1975 to provide expert and independent advice to the
Administrator on a broad spectrum of scientific, technical, and policy matters." The Office of General
Counsel Joined the Admlnstrator's Office from the Office of Enforcement and General Counsel in 1975
and remained until 1981.

In 1975, the Office of Regional and Intergovernmental Operations was formed, drawing some of its
Intergovernmental functions from Legislation. The Office of Administrative Law Judges was added, the
result of a government-wide management decision - the purpose of which was to ease the workload on
the courts from Federal agencies. The Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization was
created in 1977 from functions assigned to Planning and Management and Civil Rights.

In 1978, the Office of Public Affairs signified its new role in educating the public to environmental Issues
when it retitled itself Public Awareness.  Separate from the Public  Awareness existed Press Services
which provided the traditional press role for the Administrator.  Press Services existed from 1979 to
1981.

In order to provide an  increased independence for the two operations, the Office of Regional and
Intergovernmental Operations split Into Intergovernmental Relations and Regional Liaison in 1979. In
1980, the Office of Inspector General was added. The Inspector General Act of 1978, required over
twelve Departments and Agencies, Including EPA,  to establish independent Inspector Generals (IG) to
investigate mismanagement. The IG left the Office  of Administrator  in 1983 to be on par organization-
ally with the Assistant Administrators.

In 1981. several name changes occurred: Public Awareness reverted to Public Affairs, recomblned with
Press Services and returned to the standard Public Affairs function; Legislation was retitled Congres-
sional Liaison; Intergovernmental Relations was retitled Intergovernmental Liaison; Regional Liaison
was abolished, with its duties transferred to a Special Assistant to  the Administrator; and the Office
of General Counsel was transferred to Legal and Enforcement Counsel as a part of a major
reorganization of the Agency's enforcement function.

-------
Office Profiles                    Office of the Administrator                     Page 1-17
A reorganization In 1983 brought about the first streamlining of the Administrator's Office. All external
functions: Public Affairs, Federal Activities, Congressional Liaison, and Intergovernmental Liaison
were combined  under a new Assistant Administrator for External Affairs.  The regional and
International functions were elevated to Associate Administrator status.


PRESENT ORGANIZATION

The structure of the Office of the Administrator has been stable since 1983.  It contains four staff offices:
Science Advisory Board, Administrative Law Judges. Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization
and Civil Rights, and two Associate Administrators: Regional Operations and International Activities.

  SYNOPSIS OF MAJOR ISSUES
NEW HEADQUARTERS FACILITY/PROJECT 1992
An effort is underway In the Office of Administration to plan and acquire a new Headquarters facility
by 1992 when the current leases expire. This will also involve moving approximately 6000 employees.
The General Services Administration, the Office of Management and Budget, and House and Senate
Committees have supported the need for a consolidated facility. Disagreement remains on the method
of acquisition; whether the area considered for location should be the District of Columbia only or the
wider metropolitan area; and whether a federal site or open competition should be used. EPA is taking
a proactive stance to assure that its needs and requirements are well defined and will be met.

REGIONAL SUPERFUND CONTRACTS MANAGEMENT
The volume of Superfund contracting significantly increased with the passage of the Superfund
Amendments and Reauthorization Act. To manage this increase, the Agency has developed a strategy
to decentralize the Superfund contracting program. Decentralization will occur by breaking up large,
national, centrally-managed contracts into multiple, regionally-based contracts. Congress and the
General Accounting Office are aware of how important decentralization is to the Agency's Superfund
success and they are carefully watching the process. To meet the goal a comprehensive planning, re-
cruitment and development program will be required in each region to attract and retain experienced
procurement staff and business managers.

BUILDING PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS
Public interest  in environmental quality continues to  grow, as evidenced by many recent pieces of
environmental legislation. However, national concern over the budget deficit and growing demands on
state resources have constrained traditional sources of funding for environmental programs.  The
Agency has an effort underway to increase  private sector involvement in environmental  projects
through identifying the impediments to successful "partnerships," and exploring alternative types of
financing arrangements for states and communities.'

     In FY 1987-88, the Operating Plan had Increases In both dollars and workyears because
     of the Superfund program.

     OARM has experienced an overall Increase in the last four years due to the increased
     costs associated with Agency administration and increased support to the Agency's
     infrastructure.

     However, workyears have remained relatively stable the last three years despite the
     expansion of the Superfund administrative  programs and  the new initiatives in the
     Agency's Operating Programs.

INITIAL ORGANIZATION

EPA was created through an Executive reorganization plan designed to consolidate a number of Federal
environmental activities Into a single agency. In 1970, EPA's first Administrator, William Ruckelshaus,
published an organizational order providing for the five principal categorical programs -air, water, solid
wastes, radiation and pesticides to be retained Individually under the management of commissioners.
The order also designated three Assistant Administrators for Planning and Management, Standards
and Enforcement and General Counsel, and Research and Monitoring.

The Office of Planning and Management Is the organizational root of today's Office of Administration
and Resources Management. With inherited staff from the Department of Health and Human Services'
Environmental Health Service and the Environmental Control Administration, the Office of Planning
and Management undertook the development and management of the Agency's goals in policy,'
resources and administration.  This Initial management function contained four offices:  Administra-
tion, Audit, Resources Management, and Planning and Evaluation.

FURTHER REORGANIZATION

The organizational evolution of the Office of Administration and Resources Management and the Office
of Policy, Planning and Evaluation are inseparable. In EPA's eighteen year history, these two functions
were combined from 1970 to  1981, split from 1981 to  1983, and transferred functions during a
reorganization in 1983. The evolution reflects the management preference of the Administrator at the
time.  A brief overview of this history follows.

In 1971, a permanent organizational structure for EPA was announced. The five principal categorical
programs were realigned.under two Assistant Administrators and the Assistant Administrators for the
three functional areas were retained. At this time, the Office of Planning and Management was officially
established at the Assistant Administrator level. Specifically, the Office developed the Agency's first
planning and evaluation, budget, personnel and information systems. It managed archives, grant and
contracting policy, and adminstrative support services.

The Planning and Management function stayed virtually intact for ten years with  organizational
changes limited to a minor name change for the Office of Administration to Office of Management and
Agency Services In 1977 and the transferring of Audit responsibilities to the Administrator's Office in
1979.

In 1981, EPA underwent an extensive reorganization which affected the functional areas of Planning
and Management as well as Enforcement and Compliance. This reorganization significantly altered
the structure of the Agency's administrative management functions. The Office of Planning and Man-
agement was split into two primary AAships. The new Office of Administration was composed of five
offices: Administration,  Fiscal  and Contracts Management, Management Information and Support
Services, and Administrative units In RTP and Cincinnati. The new Office of Policy and Resources
Management also consisted of five offices: Comptroller, Policy Analysis,  Management Systems and
Evaluations, Standards and Regulations, and Legislation.

Two years later, in 1983, another reorganization took place. The AAship of Administration inherited
the Comptroller function from the AAship of Policy and Resources Management. The resultant AAship
is the present day Office of Administration and Resources Management which now provides a focal
point for Integrated financial management.  The AAship  of Policy and Resources Management was
streamlined and refocused with the loss of both its Comptroller and Legislative functions, and was
retitled the Office of  Policy, Planning and Evaluation.

PRESENT ORGANZATION

The 1983 reorganization created today's AAship for Administration and Resources Management. It
contained five components: Adminstration, Information Resources Management, Comptroller, Ad-
ministration Cincinnati, and Administration and Resources Management RTF.

In 1984, based on a National Academy of Public Administration recommendation, a sixth office was
added, the Office of Human Resources Management.

  LEGISLATIVE AUTHORITIES
The Office of Enforcement and Compliance Monitoring Is responsible for compliance monitoring
and enforcement activity relating to all environmental statutes, together with appropriate imple-
menting regulations, administered by the Agency. Enforcement activity may include administra-
tive, cMl or criminal action under all of the following statutes:

       Clean Air Act
       Clean Water Act
       Marine Protection, Research and Sanctuaries Act
       Safe Drinking Water Act
       Toxic Substances Control Act
       Resource Conservation and Recovery Act
       Federal Insecticide,  Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act
       Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980
       Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986, Title III
       National Environmental Policy Act
       Rivers and Harbors  Act of 1898
       Noise Control Act of 1972
  SYNOPSIS OF MAJOR ISSUES
ENFORCEMENT PRESENCE AND DETERRENCE                               .
The management systems used to direct arid evaluate program performance on all levels. Federal, State
and local, must focus activities on the most significant violators. Innovative publicity and outreach
techniques regarding enforcement actions are essential to obtaining maximum deterrence.

THE STATE/EPA ENFORCEMENT RELATIONSHIP
While federal environmental statutes stipulate that States should be the primary implementers and
enforcers once their programs are federally approved, those same statutes  also leave ultimate
enforcement responsibility with EPA. As a result, enforcement is one of the most sensitive aspects of
the State/EPA relationship.  Attention to the nature of that relationship, and the techniques employed
to assure that it remains an effective one remain extremely important.

SUPERFUND: EXPEDITING PRIVATE PARTY CLEANUPS
The Agency's management of its Superfund program to achieve remedial actions at hazardous waste
sites has been criticized for a perceived lack of a strong enforcement program to compel Potentially
Responsible Party cleanups. The issue involves considerations affecting the  use of Section 106
inj unctive authority, and recent efforts to achieve a better balance of Fund and enforcement authorities
in securing cleanups.

DEVELOPMENT AND STATUS OF EPA'S CRIMINAL ENFORCEMENT  PROGRAM
The Criminal Enforcement Program is approaching maturity and entering into a second phase in its
development.  The current phase of the program's development has emphasized the importance of
continuing good working relationships with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Department of
Justice and others.  Key aspects of the next phase of the program's development need to be set out
for consideration.

ORGANIZATION OF EPA'S ENFORCEMENT PROGRAM
The organizational structure of EPA's enforcement program has been the  subject of much discussion.
The Office of Enforcement  and Compliance Monitoring is reviewing the current structure and is
developing several organizational alternatives.

Resources have Increased steadily reflecting the Agency's emphasis on using the new
enforcement authorities in hazardous waste, drinking water and water quality areas.

The increase  in  resources also  reflects the high  cost of litigating environmental
regulations and statutes.

The FY 1986 decrease reflects the delay in Superfund reauthorization.

The increase  in workyears reflects the legal enforcement support  to address new
statutory requirements in water, hazardous waste and Superfund.

INITIAL ORGANIZATION

EPA was created through an Executive reorganization plan designed to consolidate a number of federal
environmental activities into a single agency. In 1970, EPA's first Administrator, William Ruckelshaus,
published an organizational order providing for the designation of Assistant Administrators for
Planning and Management, Standards and Enforcement and General Counsel, and Research and
Monitoring. The five principal categorical programs -air, water, solid wastes, radiation and pesticides
were retained individually under the management of commissioners.

FURTHER REORGANIZATION

The organizational evolution of the General Counsel and Enforcement functions in EPA are insepa-
rable. In EPA's 18 year history, these two functions were combined from 1970 to 1975, split from 1975
to 1980,.combined from  1980 to  1983 and split again.  The evolution reflects the management
preference of the Administrator at the time. A brief overview of this history follows.

In 1971, the first permanent organizational structure for EPA was announced. The five principal
categorical programs were realigned undertwo Assistant Administrators and Assistant Administrators
for the three functional areas were retained. At this time, the Office of Standards and Enforcement and
General Counsel delegated its standard setting responsibility to the program offices. The resultant
organization was the Office of Enforcement and General Counsel. This AAship contained three offices:
General Counsel, Water Enforcement and  General Enforcement.

In 1975, the Office of General Counsel, including the Offices of Regional Counsel, were transferred from
the Office of Enforcement and General Counsel to  the Office of the  Administrator and therein
established a separate staff office. The enforcement function retained its AA status and was retitled
the Office of Enforcement.

In 1981, EPA underwent an extensive reorganization which affected the functional areas of Enforce-
ment and General Counsel as well as Planning and Management.  The Office of Enforcement was
abolished with a majority of its responsibilities being delegated to the program offices. The Office of
Legal Enforcement Counsel (OLEC) was established absorbing the Office of General Counsel from the
Administrator's Office. OLEC's scope included all activities of the General Counsel and all Agencywide
enforcement activities. The Office of General Counsel retained its separate identity within OLEC.

Later that same year in an effort to further clarify the roles of the program offices versus that of OLEC,
the Administrator determined that all attorneys and their functions should be transferred from the
program offices to the  Office of Enforcement counsel  within OLEC.  Under  this  organizational
configuration, the program offices would conduct inspections, issue permits, determine technical
violations up to the point of adjudication, at which time OLEC would take the technically completed
casework to the hearing or litigation phase.

PRESENT ORGANIZATION

Two years later, in  1983, the Agency reversed its decision and separated General Counsel from
Enforcement Counsel, by eliminating the Associate Administrator's position for OLEC. For the first
time,  the General Counsel became a Presidential appointee confirmed by the U.S. Senate as an
Assistant Administrator.

The decision cited the need to clarify and separate the very distinct types of legal activities General
Counsel and Enforcement perform. Under this organizational configuration, the Office  of General
Counsel would provide senior Agency managers with legal advice on specific matters; be the source of
general legal policy regarding statutory interpretation, standards and regulations development; assist
in the drafting of legislation; and represent the Agency in defensive litigation.  The new enforcement

-------
Office Profiles                   Office of the General Counsel                    Page 4-12
office, named the Office of Enforcement and Compliance Monitoring, would provide development of
Agencywide policies and operating procedures for civil and criminal enforcement of EPA's standards
and regulations; assurance of the  quality and consistency of offensive litigation across all media; and
legal assistance to program offices with regard to case development, administrative  actions, and
compliance activities.

Since 1983, the General Counsel  and Enforcement Counsel have remained separate organizational
entities. Under the prior OLEC organizational structure as well as under the current structure, the
Office of General Counsel has had supervisory responsibilities over the Offices of Regional Counsel.

published an organizational order providing for the designation of Assistant Administrators for
Planning and Management, Standards and Enforcement and General Counsel, and Research and

enforcement components from other federal agencies. The five principal categorical programs -air,
water, solid wastes, radiation and pesticides were retained individually under the management of
commissioners.

FURTHER REORGANIZATION

The organizational evolution of the Enforcement and General Counsel functions in EPA are insepa-
rable. In EPA's 18 year history, these two functions were combined from 1970 to 1975, split from 1975

In 1975, the Office of General Counsel, including the Offices of Regional Counsel, were transferred from
the Office of Enforcement and General Counsel to the -Office of the  Administrator and therein
established as a separate staff office.  The enforcement function retained its Assistant Administrator
status and was retltled the Office of Enforcement. The new Enforcement AAship contained three offices:.
General Enforcement, Water Enforcement and Permits, and Mobile Source and Noise Enforcement.

In 1981. EPA underwent an extensive reorganization which affected the functional areas of Enforce-
ment and General Counsel as well as Planning and Management. The bottomline was the Office of
Enforcement was abolished (with a majority of Its responslblities being delegated to the program offices)
and a new Office of Legal and Enforcement Counsel (OLEC) was established to Include the activities
of the General Counsel and to oversee the direction of Agencywlde enforcement activities. The Office

the General Counsel and Enforcement Counsel perform. The Office of General Counsel would provide
senior Agency managers with traditional general counsel services, concentrating on representing the
agency in defensive litigation.  Enforcement, on the other hand, was charged with building strong
offensive litigation across all media. The Office of General Counsel attained the organizational level of
the Assistant Administrator as a result of this reconfiguration. The Enforcement Counsel evolved into
the Office of Enforcement and Compliance  Monitoring.

PRESENT ORGANIZATION

The Office of Enforcement and Compliance Monitoring underwent an internal reorganization in 1984.
Three units were consolidated to establish the Office of Criminal Enforcement and Special Litigation
under an Associate Enforcement Counsel. The new office coexisted with Associate Enforcement
Counsels for Air, Water and Hazardous Waste.

In 1986. OECM underwent a further internal reorganization. The Associate Enforcement Counsels for
Air, Water and Hazardous Waste were consolidated under a single Senior Enforcement Counsel with
those media-related Counsels reestablished as divisions. A new division for Pesticides and Toxics was
established within this structure.  The Office of Criminal Enforcement and Special Litigation was
abolished and its functions were divided among a new Office of Criminal Enforcement, the Senior
Enforcement Counsel - Civil, and the Office of Compliance Analysis and Program Operations.

his B A. degree from George Washington University.
  SYNOPSIS OF MAJOR ISSUES
POLLUTION PREVENTION PROGRAM
Significant environmental gains in the future can only come about through the prevention of pollution
and reduction of waste at its source. The Pollution Prevention Office, located within OPPE, has been
charged with developing a strategy, in cooperation with the media programs and regional offices, that
will promote and achieve pollution prevention across all media. Goals of the program are to establish
source reduction as a major theme, support the initiation and development of state and local programs,
create incentives for preventing pollution at the source, and develop reliable indicators of progress in
waste reduction.

GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE
There is scientific consensus that increases in greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide,
methane, and others, will result in global warming. Substantial scientific uncertainties remain about
the timing and magnitude of any global warming, but there is agreement that higher temperatures
could have several significant economic, environmental, and societal consequences. In cooperation
with other agencies, international organizations, and other countries, EPA will be'engaged in scientific
assessment, the study of impacts of climate change, and analysis of policy and technological control
options for reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

AGRICULTURE AND THE ENVIRONMENT
Agricultural activity can affect  environmental quality in several ways,  such as erosion  of soil,
contamination of surface and  ground waters, damage to wetlands and other critical habitats, and
pesticide exposures.  EPA and the Department of Agriculture (USDA) have several initiatives underway
to protect surface and ground waters from agricultural non-point source pollution. The Office of Water
is working with the Soil Conservation Service to implement section 319 of the Water Quality Act, which
requires states to  develop a de tailed strategy to address non-point source problems.  The Office of
Pesticides and Toxic Substanci s and the Office of Water have proposed a cross-program initiative to
protect ground water from pesticide contamination (Agricultural Chemicals in Ground Water Strategy).
OPPE is coordinating work on cooperative initiatives with USDA to promote environmental quality
objectives through the Conservation Reserve Program and on a budget initiative for research, technical
assistance, and education.

    The Regional resources remain relatively constant, while the Headquarters resources
    increase greatly to support new and emerging centrally managed programs.

    Headquarters workyears are reduced which reflects the shift of the Budget Division to
    the Office of Administration  and  Resources Management. Regional workyears are
    relatively constant.

INITIAL ORGANIZATION

EPA was created through an Executive reorganization plan designed to consolidate a number of federal
environmental activltes Into a single agency. In 1970, EPA's first Administrator, William Ruckelshaus,
published an organizational order providing for the five principal categorical programs -air, water, solid
wastes, radiation and pesticides to be retained individually under the management of commissioners.
The order also designated three Assistant Administrators for Planning and Management, Standards
and Enforcement and General Counsel, and Research and Monitoring.

The Office of Planning and Management Is the organizational root of today's Office of Policy, Planning
and Evaluation.  With inherited staff from the Department of Health and Human Services' Environ-
mental Health Service and the Environmental Control Administration, the Office of Planning and
Management undertook the development and management of the Agency's goals in policy, resources
management and administration. This initial management function consisted of four offices: Admini-
stration, Audit, Resources Management and Planning and Evaluation.

FURTHER REORGANIZATION

The organizational evolution of the Office of Policy, Planning and Evaluation and the Office of
Administration and Resources Management are inseparable. In EPA's eighteen year history, these two
functions were combined from 1970 to 1981, split from 1981 to 1983, and transferred functions during
a reorganization in 1983.  The  evolution reflects the management preference of the Administrator at
the time.  A brief overview of this history follows.

In 1971, a permanent organizational structure for EPA was announced. The five principal categorical
programs were realigned under two Assistant Administrators and the Assistant Administrators for the
three functional areas were retained. At this time, the Office of Planning and Management was officially
established at the Assistant Administrator level.  Specifically, the Office developed the Agency's first
planning and evaluation, budget.'personnel and information systems. It managed archives, grant and
contracting policy, and administrative support services.

In 1981, EPA underwent an extensive reorganization which affected the functional areas of Planning
and Management as well as Enforcement and Compliance. The Planning and Management function
was split, creating the  Office of Administration and the Office of Policy and Resources Management.
That Office of Policy and Resources Management is the precursor to today's Office of Policy. Planning
and Evaluation. It was created from planning, evaluation and resource functions inherited from the
Office of  Planning and Management.  Legislative  functions were Inherited from the Office of the
Adminstrator. This new Office of Policy and Resources Management was organized with five major
components: Comptroller,  Policy Analysis, Management Systems and Evaluation, Standards and
Regulations, and Legislation.

Two years later,  in 1983, another reorganization took place.  The AAship  for Policy, Planning and
Resources Management's  legislative function was transferred to a new AAship, Office of External
Affairs. Its resources (or budget) function was transferred to the AAship for Administration (retitled at
this time  the Office of Adminstration and Resources Management).

PRESENT ORGANIZATION

As a result of the 1983 reorganization, the Office of Policy, Planning and and Resources Mana Cement
was streamlined  creating the Office of Policy, Planning and Evaluation, consisting of three offices:
Management Systems and Evaluation, Policy Analysis,  and Standards and Regulations. A new of
Pollution Prevention Office was proposed in 1988.

NOTE: These complex statutes contain various sections which expire on different dates. The Office
of Legislative Analysis develops a detailed list of expiring authorizations as part of the annual budget
process. This list will be available in mid-December, 1988. While technically many of these statutes
have expired, provisions included in annual appropriations bills establish the means by which these
statutes continue to be effective. Expired statutory authorization does not automatically indicate that
legislative action on reauthorlzatlon will be undertaken in the next session of Congress.

  SYNOPSIS OF MAJOR ISSUES
SECTION 309 OF THE CLEAN AIR ACT
The 1969 National Environmental Policy Act requires Federal agencies to prepare detailed statements
of the environmental effects of their major actions. Section 309 of the Clean Air Act requires EPA to
review and comment on the environmental impacts of all Federal department or agency legislation,
newly authorized Federal projects and Federal regulations. If any such action is deemed unsatisfactory
from the standpoint of public health or welfare or environmental quality, the Administrator may refer
the issue to the Council on Environmental Quality.  EPA's comments are made public at the conclusion
of each review process.

EPA INDIAN PROGRAM
EPA is working to include the Indian Program in the operating guidance and budget of all Agency
programs and to amend the remainder of the Agency's authorizing legislation to establish the handling
of Indian reservations in a manner equivalent to States. Three authorizing laws have been amended.
However, gaps concerning Indian lands in other laws prevent effective environmental protection in the
areas of air pollution, solid and hazardous waste disposal and pesticide control.

FEDERAL/STATE RELATIONS
Increasingly, the Congress has assigned responsibilities to States for the management of national
programs, without lessening EPA's oversight responsibilities. In addition. States  are frequently
becoming the primary financiers of environmental programs. As a result, responsible management of
environmental activities requires that EPA and the States develop more effective working relationships.
Over the last several years, the States and EPAhave developed a number of institutions and techniques
to promote cooperation and environmental partnership.   These efforts are growing and their
maintenance is essential to EPA's ability to fulfill its mission.

THE EPA FEDERAL FACILITIES COMPLIANCE PROGRAM
EPA has established a Federal Facilities Compliance Program in the Office of Federal Activities to
ensure that facilities or lands owned or operated by the Federal government achieve and maintain
compliance with environmental laws in the most cost-effective and timely manner.  The program
focuses its efforts in three primary areas:  (1) compliance oversight; (2) technical assistance; and (3)
A-106 project review. The Office of Federal Activities is in the process of completing a new agencywide
Federal Facilities Compliance Strategy (the "Yellow Book") which integrates these three components
into one comprehensive program.

      Dollar increases in FY 1988-89 are primarily from the expansion of the Regional
      Interdisciplinary Project Fund which in FY 1989 is $3.5M.

The Headquarters reduction In dollars results primarily from a shift of the wetlands
program to the Office of Water and a reduction in support for the Construction Grants
program.

The Regional dollars increase due to the Regional Interdisciplinary Project Fund.

Regional workyears decline primarily from the movement of the wetlands program to
the Office of Water. The Headquarters program is relatively stable.

INITIAL ORGANIZATION

The  Environmental Protection Agency was established as an independent Agency by Executive
reorganization plan on December 2 , 1 970. The immediate Office of the Administrator housed four staff
offices, two of which. Public Affairs and Legislative Liaison were eventually placed within the Office of
External Affairs.

EVOLUTION

The evolution of the Office of External Affairs is largely explained by observing the organizational
development of the Office of the Administrator. From four staff offices in 1 970, the Adminstrator's Office
grew to eleven in 1981. The formation of the Office of External Affairs, in 1983, was due partly to a
streamlining of the Administrator's Office. A brief history follows.

In 1981, the roots of the Office of External Affairs underwent changes. The Office of Public Awareness,
an office whose mission included environmental education for the public, reverted to a more traditional
Public Affairs Office. The Office of Legislation was reorganized and separated into a legislative division
(which was transferred out of the Administrator's office to the policy office of EPA)  and a Congressional
Liaison office which remained in the Office of the Administrator.

In 1983, a major reorganization took place in EPA  affecting Management, Enforcement and General
Counsel and the Staff Offices to the Administrator. The Office of External Affairs was created combining
all the external relating functions reporting to the Administrator: Public Affairs, Federal Activites, Office
of Congressional Liason and Intergovernmental Liason.

PRESENT ORGANIZATION
  e^ Office of External Affairs has reorganized internally three times since 1983. In 1984, Legislative
Analysis was established as a fifth office.  At about the same time, the Office of Intergovernmental
Liason was renamed the Office of Public and Private Liaison reflecting it's new role of coordinating with
the private sector.  In 1986. The Office of Public and Private Sector Liaison was retitled the Office of
Community and Intergovernmental Relations. This change reflects increased emphasis on community
involvement.

The current  structure of the Office  of External Affairs contains five offices: Public Affairs, Federal
Activities, Legislative Analysis, Community and Intergovernmental Relations, and Congressonal Liai-
son.

John C. Martin
Inspector General

Before joining EPA. John served as the Assistant Inspector General for Investigations at the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development and was a Special Agent and Special Agent Supervisor
with the Federal Bureau of Investigation from 1971 to 1981.  He earned his B.S. from Kings College,
Wilkes Barre, PA and M.P.A. from the University of Maryland.
  LEGISLATIVE AUTHORITY!^
The Inspector General Act of 1978 provided for the statutory  establishment of Offices of Inspector
General in 12 departments and agencies including EPA. The Act consolidated Investigative and audit
resources in independent organizations headed by Inspectors General.  The law provides for the
independence of the Inspectors General in initiating and coordinating audits and investigations in their
respective agencies. It also requires them to report their findings to agency management and Congress.
Statutory Inspectors General, as In EPA, are nonpartisan professionals, appointed by the President
and can  only be removed by the President after advance written notice to Congress.

The Inspector General has independent status within EPA, reporting directly to the Administrator, and
is free of any undue influence or constraints. The Inspector General by law is free to report matters
to Congress without restrictions or influence by Agency management, and has the authority to issue
subpoenas, obtain access to any Agency materials, report serious or flagrant problems to Congress,
select and appoint OIG employees Including SES officials, and enter into contracts for services and
support..
  ISSUES^
The following are major issues which were the subject of completed audit reports recently issued by
the Office of the Inspector General. They will continue to be important areas of our focus in the future.

PROCUREMENT AND CONTRACTS MANAGEMENT
In the past two years, OIG audits identified significant problems with EPA's contracting policies and
procedures which have left EPA vulnerable.  These problem areas transcend all program areas.
Specifically, deficiencies were identified in a number of areas:

       o Contracting process is unresponsive to program needs
       o Contracting process Is lengthy
       o Lack of adequate competition
       o Unreasonableness of costs
       o Inadequate monitoring by EPA contracting and project officers

These issues are adversely affecting EPA's programs and are causing the Agency to spend more on
contractural services than may be necessary. In response to our audit reports, EPA has moved toward
improving its contracting practices.  During FY1989, OIG will be performing followup reviews to assess
the Agency's progress in achieving Improvements in the contracting area.

SUPERFUND PROGRAM
Since the passage of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986, the number and
size of the contracts and assistance agreements are increasing very rapidly. At the same time the
number of program components  which could benefit from internal audits has also increased
substantially.  Past audits of the Superfund program have repeatedly found that the Agency's
management of Superfund needed  Improvement, particularly in the following areas:

-------
Office Profiles                  Office of the Inspector General                     Page 7-3



       o An accurate and reliable management information system
       o Effective managerial oversight to assure projects are proceeding in an efficient, effective and
         timely manner

For FY 1989, OIG resources will be used to fulfill the statutory audit requirements and conduct audits
of the contracting function in the removal and remedial program areas.

EPA'S ENFORCEMENT ACTIVITIES
Maintaining a high level of compliance with environmental laws and regulations is one of the Agency's
most Important goals.  Over the past few years OIG has audited a number of EPA's enforcement
programs and  found that EPA and delegated agencies (e.g., States, local governments) need to put
forth a more concerted effort to  ensure compliance.  Our audits have disclosed improvements are
needed in:

       o Refinement of strategies to identify violators
       o Timely and appropriate enforcement against violators
       o Calculation and assessment of penalties

During FY 1989, OIG resources will be used to conduct an audit of the Agency's negotiation of fines
and penalties to determine if sufficient controls have been established by the EPA program offices and
whether the Agency is operating within these controls.

CONSTRUCTION GRANTS
EPA's wastewater treatment  construction grant program is the  largest single program the Agency
administers. Currently, there are more than 6,000 active construction grants representing more than
$29 billion of unaudited Federal funds at various State and local agencies across the country.  EPA
provides grants to municipal agencies to assist in financing the construction of wastewater treatment
plants. During the last two years, OIG has issued more than 400 reports which questioned more than
$120 million of claims related to such areas as:.(l) unsupported  costs; (2) claims for equipment not
needed or facilities never built; and (3) engineering problems preventing timely completion or proper
operation of the plant. During fiscal 1988 our office questioned almost $27 for every $1 we expended
for such audits. Agency officials sustained 84 percent of our costs questioned and indicated they would
be recovering or making better use of some $80 million of Federal funds.

Because audits are generally performed after the project is completed, problems are often not surfaced
until millions of dollars are spent. The OIG Early Warning System is a program which reviews projects
before construction begins to identify problems and stop ineffective expenditure of funds. Last year
our early warning reviews resulted in the Agency reallocating $12 million from three projects to other
projects that will better use the funds to meet Agency goals of improving water quality and protecting
public health.

ASBESTOS
All forms of airborne asbestos have been found to be of concern in human health, and cause Irreversible
diseases such as asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma.  Over the past two years we have
conducted a number of audits of EPA's asbestos program. OIG found:

       o Delegated states and local agencies were not performing inspections of asbestos demolition/
         renovation projects  in accordance with EPA's enforcement strategy.

       o Asbestos-in-School Rule needs additional requirements and strengthening to adequately
         protect students and employees from asbestos hazards.

       o Procedures need to be revised to ensure that schools with the most severe health hazards and
         the most need receive loans and grants for asbestos abatement projects.

The Agency is in the process of taking action to correct these deficiencies. These audits were the first
of a series of audits. During FY 1989, we will continue our audit effort in this area.

HAZARDOUS WASTE
Last year the OIG issued two reports in the area of exports of hazardous waste which received
international attention. In one nationwide audit we reported that hundreds of tons of hazardous waste
were exported to other countries without the required notification to the Agency.  Exporters could
disregard EPA regulations with little chance of detection because the Agency had not established a
monitoring program to spot-check international shipments with the Customs Service. Another audit
showed that a plan to export up to 250,000 tons of Philadelphia's incineration ash to Panama where
it was to be used as a road bed through a wetlands would have created significant potential danger to
human health and the environment. These reports received widespread attention because they came
at a time when Congress, public interest groups and foreign governments were becoming concerned
about shipments of hazardous waste from industrialized nations to less developed countries that would
not properly dispose of the waste.

Some of the areas we  plan to continue reviewing during FY 1989 are:

       o Management of remedial cleanups
       o Removals of hazardous waste
       o Immediate response actions
       o Alternative or innovative treatment technology

CONTRACTOR AND EMPLOYEE INTEGRITY
The Office of the Inspector General (OIG) has identified indicators of fraud by contractors in the form
of bid rigging, cost mischarging, falsification of tests, product substitution, and false labor charges.
OIG has recently identified schemes to bribe inspectors to stay away from or overlook violations of EPA-
regulated asbestos-removal projects.  OIG has also investigated false charges and illegal practices in
contracts for the removal of hazardous wastes:   Since 1983, the OIG has been working with the
Department of Justice's Antitrust Division investigating trends and patterns of indicators of bid rigging.
As of September 30, 1988, these investigations have resulted in 42 indictments and 38 convictions on
charges of bid rigging.

The Office of the Inspector General has actively investigated "gray market" auto dealers and emission
modification and testing facilities which illegally sell, modify, or test imported cars that have been
falsely certified to meet Federal standards.

Future investigative work will focus on:

o Charges for phantom employees and fraud in performance bonds on EPA-funded construction
  projects.
o Laboratory time shifting in Superfund work.
o Reimbursement for banned pesticides.
o Embezzlement by EPA employees.

      Operating Program resources have remained stable. However, in FY 1986 Superfund
      resources declined because of the delay in reauthorizatlon.

      A large portion of current resources are used to decrease the backlog of Construction
      Grants audits and to cover pre-award contract audits with the Defense Contract Audit
      Agency.

        Budget and operating plan. However, In FY 1988, the President's Budget and Operating
        Plan exceeded the request because a Superfund budget was not submitted due to delay In

INITIAL ORGANIZATION

EPA was created through an executive reorganization plan designed to consolidate a number of federal
environmental activities into a single agency. The Agency designated an Assistant Administrator for
Planning and Management in 1970 and all audit activities were conducted from that vantage'point.

PRESENT ORGANIZATION

The Inspector General Act of 1978 provided for the establishment of Offices of the Inspector General
which would consolidate existing investigative and audit resources in independent organizations
headed by  an Inspector General.

EPA established its Office of Inspector General in 1980. EPA's Inspector General functions through
three major offices: Office of Audit; Office of Investigations and Office of Management and Technical
Assessment.  Nationally, there are  six Divisional Inspectors General for Audit and five Divisional
Inspectors General for Investigations who report to the Headquarters Office.  The Inspector General
receives exclusive legal  advice by  a Memorandum of Understanding from the Inspector General
Division of the EPA Office of General Counsel.

  FUNCTIONS
       Provides Agencywlde policy, guidance and direction for the Agency's drinking water, water
       quality, ground-water and wetlands protection programs.
  LEGISLATIVE AUTHORITIES
SAFE DRINKING WATER ACT

Under the Safe Drinking Water Act, EPA establishes national standards for public drinking water sys-
tems from both surface and ground-water sources.  These standards provide maximum contaminant
levels (MCLs) for pollutants in drinking water. The law also includes minimum monitoring. States are
primarily responsible for enforcing the standards, with financial assistance from EPA.

The Act also authorizes EPA to protect underground sources of drinking water from endangerment of
contamination from the disposal of wastes by injection into deep wells.

The Administrator has emergency powers to issue orders and commence civil actions if a contaminant,
likely to enter public drinking water supply systems, poses a substantial threat to public health, or state
or local officials have not taken adequate action. EPA is also authorized to make grants (75%) to states
to carry out public water supply supervision programs.

-------
Office Profiles                          Office of Water                         Page 8-3
The 1986 Amendments to the Safe Drinking Water Act created two new ground-water provisions. The
Wellhead Protection Program is designed to protect wells that supply public water systems. The Sole
Source Aquifer Demonstration Program promotes  the  adoption  of special protective measures for
critical areas within an aquifer that has been designated as a sole source for a community's or region's
water supply.

MARINE PROTECTION RESEARCH AND SANCTUARIES ACT  (OCEAN DUMPING)

The purpose of the MPRSAis to regulate intentional ocean dumping, to authorize related research, and
to establish marine sanctuaries. Four federal agencies have responsibilities under the Ocean Dumping
Act:  EPA, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and the
Coast Guard.  EPA has primary authority for regulating ocean disposal of all substances  except
dredged spoils, which are regulated under the authority of the Corps of Engineers. EPA is authorized
to carry out research and demonstration activities related to phasing out sewage sludge and industrial
waste dumping.

A priority of the Act is to regulate the transportation for ocean dumping, and to prevent the dumping
of any material in ocean waters, which would unreasonably degrade or endanger human health,
welfare, or amenities, or the marine environment, ecological systems, or economic potentialities. Title
I establishes a permit system and assigns its administration to the EPA and the Corps of Engineers.
Legislation enacted in the 100th Congress would penalize all ocean dumping after Dec. 31, 1991.

The Act is also the domestic legislation for implementing the provisions of the Convention on the
Prevention of Marine  Pollution by Dumping of Wastes and Other Matter, a global agreement for
regulating ocean dumping.

Transportation from the United States of any radiological, chemical, or biological warfare agent or high-
level radioactive wastes for the purpose of dumping  in ocean waters,  the territorial seas, or. the
contiguous zone is prohibited.- Transportation of other materials (except dredged materials) for the
purpose  of  dumping  is prohibited except when authorized under a permit issued by the EPA
Administrator.


FEDERAL WATER POLLUTION CONTROL ACT (CLEAN WATER ACT)

The Clean Water Act is the principal law governing pollution in the Nation's water-ways. The objective
of the Act is to restore and maintain the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the Nation's
waters. Two goals are established:  zero discharge of pollutants and, as an interim goal and where
possible, water quality that is both "fishable" and "swimmable."

The Act authorizes Federal financial assistance for municipal sewage treatment plant construction.
Under Title II, $59 billion has been authorized for the Federal Construction Grants Program since 1972;
funding will cease with the authorization for FY 1990. Title VI, provided in the 1987 Amendments,
authorizes $8 billion in grants to capitalize State Water Pollution Control Revolving Funds. Monies
used for wastewater treatment facilities will be repaid to a state, to be recycled for future wastewater
treatment projects.

The Act is a technology-forcing statute that places rigorous demands on industries and municipalities
to achieve ever higher levels  of pollution abatement.  States are  required to establish water quality
standards^   Nationwide standards are established by EPA for certain categories of industries, with
requirements tailored  to the availability and economic feasibility of control technology.


All point source discharges into the Nation's waters are deemed unlawful unless specifically authorized
by a permit.  The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits specify the types
and amounts of pollutants that may be discharged.

  SYNOPSIS OFMAJOR ISSUEStt
GROUNDWATER
The two key Issues concern (1) the advisability of EPA taking a more proactive position in terms of
proposing comprehensive groundwater legislation and; (2) whether the Agency should stay with our
current policy direction in the groundwater program which suggests that groundwater protection
decisions should be tailored according to the use, value, and vulnerability of the actual source.  This
policy of differential protection has been opposed on one hand by various environmental groups who
see it as too lenient and by OMB on the other hand which supports the policy but would like to see less
groundwater protected by Federal programs.

STATE FUNDING SHORTFALLS
States are facing a major funding shortfall in terms of Federal grant resources to implement new
requirements under the recent amendments to both the Clean Water and Safe Drinking Water Acts.
In addition. States will be losing, after  1990, their ability to set aside construction grants funds for
management  of projects. We need to ensure that States have adequate resources to meet these major
new requirements.

SURFACE WATER CONTROLS
The recent amendments to the Clean Water Act Imposed major new requirements, many with stringent
deadlines, in such areas as toxic controls, sludge, nonpolnt source management, and water quality
standards.  Significant decisions in many of these areas will need to be made during 1989 if we are to
maintain our momentum in controlling surface water pollution.

WETLANDS. PROTECTION
The Wetlands Policy Forum, commissioned by the Administrator and comprised of environmental,
industry, and government groups will issue its final report in mid-November. The report will lay out,
a series of broad national recommendations on wetlands protection that could be the catalyst for
reexamlnlng how EPA and other Federal agencies Implement wetlands programs.

DRINKING WATER REGULATIONS
Major regulatory decisions on lead, coliform, and radon In drinking water will be required in 1989 as
EPA implements the requirements of the 1986 amendments to the Safe Drinking Water Act. These
regulations are expected to Impose significant additional costs on the regulated community, especially
small communities.

COASTAL PROTECTION
The events of last summer In our coastal areas (medical waste, sludge dumping, beach closures, etc.)
highlighted the need to  address coastal pollution issues.  In order to avoid a repeat of last summer,
a number of significant actions need to be considered over the next 4-6 months.

 o
 Resources have steadily Increased since FY 1983.   FY 1987-89 increases reflect the
 resources to address the Safe Drinking Water Act and the Clean Water Act (excluding
 Construction Grants).

 The FY 1982 decline in dollars reflects the elimination of funding for the State non-
 point source program, substantial completion of point source standards and reduction
 in workyears.

 Workyears have slightly increased since FY 1983.

 Workyear reductions In FY 1981-82 are from increased program delegation to the States
 (especially in Construction Grants) reducing the Agency's workyear need.

        The difference In the FY 1985-86 National Program Manager (NPM) Requests and the
        President's Budgets reflected the NPM's anticipated changes in legislation. The resource
        requests were not supported by OMB.

        The FY 1987-88 NPM Requests in dollars and workyears reflected the uncertainty of
        requirements in the pending Safe Drinking Water and Clean Water legislation.

        Operating Plan increases from the President's Budget indicate the Congressional add in
        new requirements of the Safe Drinking Water and Clean Water Acts.

INITIAL ORGANIZATION

EPA was created through an Executive reorganization plan designed to consolidate a number of federal
enviromental activities into a single agency. The organizational roots for the Office of Water were the
Department of Interior (water pollution contol program) and Department of Health Education and
Welfare (drinking water program).

In 1970, EPA's first Administrator, William Ruckelshaus, published an organizational order in which
the five principal programs: water, air, radiation, pesticides and solid waste were retained under the
management of commissioners. This was done to assure continuity of program operations and to allow
time to consider the eventual organizational structure. EPA, at this time, also established a presence
in the newly organized federal regional structure which divided the country into ten regions.

FURTHER REORGANIZATION

The first few years of the Agency were marked by a plethora of environmental laws and regulations
which catalyzed a realignment of the agency's structure in 1972 and again in 1974. EPA set up its first
permanent organizational structure in 1971, designating three functional Assistant Administrators for
Research and Monitoring. Planning and Management, and Standards and Enforcement and General
Counsel and dividing the five principal programs between two Assistant Administrators; one for
Catergorical programs ; the other for Media Programs. In 1972, Media programs which contained all
the air and water functions were reorganized under an Assistant Administrator for Air and Water
Programs.

In 1974, the Water program, redirected by the Clean Water Act, was split from the air program and
combined with pesticides and toxics, functions.  The Water program resided within the Water and
Hazardous Materials AAship until 1979. With "the passage of the Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act of 1976 the water function split from the Water and Hazardous Materials AA ship and combined
with the solid waste program to form the Office of Water and Waste  Management.

PRESENT ORGANIZATION

The Office of Water became an AAship  unto itself in  1981 due more to the  passage of CERCLA
(Superfund) than any increased water responsiblity. The Superfund legislation required the clean up
program to be headed up by an Assistant Administrator, and it functionally made sense to combine
the RCRA solid waste program with the CERCLA clean up program. The 1981 Office of Water AAship
contained four principal offices which are still here today:  Office of Drinking Water, Office of Water
Regulations  and Standards, Office  of Enforcement and  Permits, and  Office of  Water Program
Operations (renamed Municipal Pollution Control).  In 1984, two new offices were added to the AAship:
the Office of Marine and Estuarine Protection and the Office of Groundwater Protection.  A new
Wetlands Protection Office was added in  1986 bringing the total to seven  separate offices within the
Water AAship.

                fAUTHORITIE
RESOURCE CONSERVATION AND RECOVERY ACT

In 1965 Congress passed the Solid Waste Disposal Act, the first Federal law to require safeguards and
encourage environmentally sound methods for disposal of household, municipal, commercial, and
industrial refuse. Congress amended this law in 1970 by enacting the Resource Recovery Act and again
in 1976 by enacting the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). The primary goals of RCRA
are to: protect human health and the  environment from the potential hazards of waste disposal;
conserve energy and natural resources; reduce the amount of waste generated, including hazardous
waste; and ensure that wastes are managed in an environmentally sound manner.

The 1984 Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments (HSWA) significantly expand the scope of RCRA.
HSWA was created in large part in response to strongly voiced citizen concerns that existing methods
of hazardous waste disposal, particularly land disposal, were not safe.

RCRA is divided into several subtitles. These subtitles set forth a framework for EPA's comprehensive
waste management programs; establish a system for controlling hazardous waste from generation until
ultimate disposal; establish a system for controlling solid (primarily nonhazardous) waste;  and,
regulate toxic substances and petroleum products stored in underground tanks.
COMPREHENSIVE ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSE, COMPENSATION, AND LIABILITY ACT

Congress enacted the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation,  and Liability Act
(CERCLA). commonly known as Superfund, in 1980. This law provided broad Federal authority and
resources to respond directly to releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances that could
endanger human health or the environment. CERCLA established a $ 1.6 billion Hazardous Substance
Trust Fund to pay for remediation of abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous waste sites. The law also
authorized enforcement action and cost recovery from parties responsible for a release.

In 1986 Congress passed the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA).  This law
reauthorized the Superfund program for five years, and more than quintupled the size of the Trust Fund
to $8.5 billion. SARA strengthened and expanded the remedial program and focused on the need for
emergency preparedness  and community right-to-know. SARA also established a $500 million Trust
Fund, supported by a gasoline tax, to address leaks from underground storage tanks.

Provisions in Title III of SARA address the Preparedness and Community Right-to-Know  program.
There are four major elements of this program: (1) designating State emergency response commissions
(SERCs) and local emergency planning committees (LEPCs) that are responsible for developing local
contingency plans; (2) requiring chemical handlers to notify SERCs and LEPCs immediately when there
has been a release of a hazardous chemical; (3) requiring handlers to provide information to the LEPC
and public on the chemicals they produce, use, or store; and, (4) requiring chemical handlers to report
any emissions of hazardous chemicals to EPA annually.

STATE CAPACITY ASSURANCE PROJECT
CERCLA Section 104(c) (9) states that EPA may not provide funding for cleanups under Superfund after
October 17,1989 to any state that has not submitted an "assurance" to EPA that the state has sufficient
hazardous waste treatment and disposal capacity to take care of all wastes reasonably expected to
be generated within its borders for the next 20 years. EPA is developing a guidance document to assist
the states in preparing their plans for assuring capacity by the October deadline.

NATIONAL CONTINGENCY PLAN (NCP)
The NCP establishes procedures and standards for responding to releases of hazardous substances,
pollutants, and contaminants. Section 105 of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act
of 1986 (SARA) requires EPA to revise the NCP to incorporate changes relating to the selection of remedy
process as mandated by SARA. For example, cleanups must be cost-effective and utilize permanent
solutions and alternative treatment technologies to  the maximum extent practicable. In addition,
SARA requires that EPA provide for substantial and meaningful State involvement in all aspects of the
remedy selection process.  The revised NCP also reflects changes resulting from the program's expe-
rience since the last revision to the NCP in 1985.

SUPERFUND REMEDIAL ACTION CONSTRUCTION IN FY 1989
The budgetary  appropriation for Superfund was significantly reduced for FY 1989. This reduction in
funding has been applied to the hazardous site cleanup budget. During FY 1989, critical decisions will
have to be made to determine which projects will be  funded and which will be delayed.

SUPERFUND ENFORCEMENT PROGRAM EVALUATION
Senate and House Appropriations Committees have requested that EPA evaluate the Superfund
enforcement program and provide a report by January 1,1989. This study will examine Superfund
enforcement across the Regions to assess the proper role of the enforcement program in achieving the
greatest number of cleanups.  In addition, the report will recommend any program, policy, and
management changes that will encourage enforcement settlements.

RESOURCE CONSERVATION AND RECOVERY ACT REAUTHORIZATION
Congress revised the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), first in 1980 and again in 1984.
The 1984 Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments (HSWA) significantly expanded the scope of RCRA.
During the next Congressional session, the Agency expects RCRA reauthorization to gain considerable
momentum. Since HSWA was passed, a number of developments have led to increased scrutiny of
solid waste management  practices which are likely to be the focus of the reauthorization.  Some
revisions to the hazardous waste statutory  provisions are also expected.

FEDERAL FACILITIES
Federal facilities have significant hazardous waste and hazardous substance compliance and reme-
diation responsibilities that are addressed primarily through RCRA and CERCLA. Determining which
statutory authority and respective process is to be used to address problems at Federal facilities is a
central issue. Related to this issue is determining what the respective roles of the states and EPA should
be in enforcing RCRA and CERCLA requirements.

CHEMICAL ACCIDENT PREVENTION
Congress passed the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986 (Title III of SARA)
to assist local communities in identifying toxic chemicals present in the community and preparing for
accidental releases of such chemicals. As a result of several emergency incidents world-wide. Congress
still has concerns regarding the prevention of chemical accidents by industry and the need for a
regulatory program.

       The  resources  have steadily increased to support  Superfund and the Leaking
       Underground Storage Tank (LUST) programs.

       The FY 1986 decrease in dollars was because of the delay in Superfund reauthorization
       and  FY 1989 resources  are down reflecting the Congressional reduction in the
       Superfund program.
       The tremendous increase in workyears has been for the Superfund program. The LUST
       program has been stable with 90 workyears in FY 1989.

   Workyear growth is in the Superfund program. Regions have been delegated much of the

       The FY  1986 National Program Manager (NPM) Request was for a large Increase in
       Superfund resources and workyears. However, the FY 1986 Operating Plan reflects the
       Superfund contingency plan due to delay in reauthorization.

       In FY 1986, the NPM also requested increases in resources and workyears to address the
       new requirements of the reauthorized hazardous waste statute. The FY 1988 President's
       Budget and Operating Plan represents the tight resource environment.

       The FY 1987-88 NPM Requests reflect the delay In Superfund reauthorization. The
       FY 1989 NPM Request is for $2B in Superfund to move aggressively in site remedial
       actions.

INITIAL ORGANIZATION

EPA was created through an Executive reorganization plan designed to consolidate a number of federal
environmental activities into a single agency.  EPA inherited its solid waste program from the
Department of Health, Education and Welfare's Bureau of Solid Waste Management.

In 1970, EPA's first Administrator, William Ruckelshaus, published an organizational order in which
the five principal programs: solid waste, pesticides, water, air and radiation were retained under the
management of commissioners. This was done to assure continuity of program operations and to allow
time to consider the eventual organizational structure. Also at this time, EPA established  a presence
in the newly organized federal structure which divided the country into 10 regions.


FURTHER REORGANIZATION

In 1971, EPA set  up its permanent organizational structure replacing its five commissioners with two
Assistant Administrators: one for Air and Water Programs, the other for Categorical Programs. The solid
waste program was combined with the  radiation and pesticides programs under an Assistant
Administrator for Categorical Programs.

In the early years, the solid waste program continued to be aligned with the Categorical AAship.  In
1973, this AAship made an effort to clarify its function with a more descriptive name and retitled itself
the Office of Hazardous Materials Control. The 70's for EPA were characterized by heavy legislative and
regulatory activity. In order to balance the workload, a major realignment of functions  took place
between the two AAships in 1974. EPA retained the two program AAship Structure but this time,
programs for solid waste and air were combined under an Air and Waste Management AAship. .

The 1976 passage of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act directed EPA to carry but its first large
scale waste program.  EPA responded with an organizational change that transferred the solid waste
program from the Air and Waste Management AAship to the other AAship, Water and Hazardous
Materials. In 1979, the Office of Water and Hazardous Materials emphasized RCRA's impact on the
organization by relitling itself the Office of Water and Waste Management.


PRESENT ORGANIZATION

In 1980, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act  (CERLA or
"Superfund"), mandated the establishment of an Assistant Administrator to operate the program.  In
1981, EPA combined the Superfund and RCRA programs into a new AAship, the Office of Solid Waste
and Emergency Response. OSWER consisted of three offices: the Office of Solid Waste in charge of
RCRA activities; the Office of Remedial Response in charge of Superfund activities; and the Office of
Waste Program Enforcement responsible for enforcement activities related to both programs.

The RCRA reauthorization lead to the establishment of a new office in 1985,the Office of Underground
Storage Tanks. OSWER's most recent organizational addition is the Preparedness Staff established in
1986, to carry out Emergency Preparedness and Community Right-to-Know functions.

CLEAN AIR ACT
The major objectives of the Clean Air Act are to protect and enhance air quality to promote public health
and welfare, and to establish a national research development program for the prevention and control
of air pollution. The Act provides emission standards for industry and for hazardous pollutants as well
as National Ambient Air Quality Standards. It establishes a mobile source air pollution control program
and provides for the prevention of significant deterioration of air quality in areas which have clean air.

ATOMIC ENERGY ACT
The Atomic Energy Act of 1954 establishes standards for land disposal of high-level radioactive waste
and low-level natural and accelerator-produced radioactive waste.  In addition, it directs the Agency
to issue guidance on exposure to radiation, including radiation protection for occupational exposure
of workers to ionizing radiation.

SUPERFUND AMENDMENTS AND REAUTHORIZATION ACT OF  1986 (SARA)
SARA directs the Agency to reduce the level of indoor radon exposure, assess the significance of the
radon problem, and analyze the health risks associated with radon. SARA also directs the Agency to
develop measurement and mitigation techniques, identify high-risk lands, and ensure that quality
services are provided to the public for measurements and radon reductions.

NOISE CONTROL ACT
The Noise Control Act of 1972 provides for research to determine the  effects of noise and ways to
promote noise control and establishes noise emission standards for products distributed in commerce
and  transportation vehicles. It requires labeling regulations for products which emit noise capable
of affecting public health..
CLEAN AIR ACT LEGISLATION (CAA)
The December 31, 1987 deadline for attainment passed with many areas failing to attain the clean air
standards. Continuing concerns about acid rain and the slow pace of EPA action on toxic air pollutants,
have contributed to the increasing concern in Congress about amending the Clean Air Act.  Repeated
Congressional attempts to amend the Act since 1980 have been unsuccessful.

ACID DEPOSITION (ACID RAIN)
In 1989, the Agency must deal with: 1) what general policy it wants to adopt (e.g., support particular
legislation  or use  existing  Clean Air Act authorities); 2) the role of National Acid Precipitation
Assessment Program (NAPAP) research in our decision-making process; 3) decisions on petitions filed
under Section 115 of the Clean Air Act; and 4) Canada.

OZONE AND CARBON MONOXIDE POST-1987 NON-ATTAINMENT
Most major urban areas in the United States have failed to meet the standards set under the Clean Air
Act for ozone and carbon monoxide air pollution. The Act required all areas to attain these standards
by the end of 1987. The Clean Air Act did not explicitly envision failure to attain after 1987. EPAhas
proposed a policy to deal with this situation, and has taken other steps such as disapproval of certain
State plans. In the absence of Act amendments, EPA will be under considerable pressure in 1989,
including numerous lawsuits to take additional actions.

NATIONAL AMBIENT AIR QUALITY STANDARD FOR SULFUR DIOXIDE
In April, 1988 after a long review, EPA proposed to reaffirm the existing national ambient air quality
standard (NAAQS) for sulfur dioxide.  This review, which is required under the Clean Air Act, was
controversial, especially with groups who feel that EPA should be taking a more stringent stand against
sulfur dioxide air pollution.

AIR TOXICS
EPA has had difficulty in setting national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP)
under Section 112 of the Clean Air Act, and the Agency has been severely criticized for its lack of
progress. Litigation in the NESHAP area is ongoing and amendments to the Clean Air Act on air toxics
are being considered.

STRATOSPHERIC OZONE PROTECTION
Chlorofluorocarbons  (CFCs) are widely used industrial chemicals that have been linked to ozone
depletion. The Clean Air Act authorizes EPA and other agencies to conduct research related to ozone
depletion and to pursue international efforts to resolve the problem.  EPA has also regulated the use
of CFCs in most aerosol propellants.

ONBOARD REFUELING AND FUEL VOLATILITY FINAL RULES
On August 19, 1987 EPA published proposed rules for onboard refueling emissions control and fuel
volatility control  as a major part of the ozone control program.  In combination these two  rules are
estimated to reduce  hydrocarbon emissions nationwide by about 32%.  However, they involve
controversial issues, especially the onboard refueling rule which has been debated in and out of the
Agency for over a decade.  Because of the large emission reduction potential, there is pressure on the
Agency to publish final rules as soon as possible. The auto industry remains strongly opposed to the
onboard rule.

RADIONUCLIDE STANDARD
Pursuant to a court-ordered schedule, the Agency must repropose NESHAPs or make a' decision not
to regulate radionuclides for twelve source categories by the end of February 1989 and promulgate a
final rule by the end of August  1989.

RADON LEGISLATION
EPA estimates that as many as 20,000 lung cancer deaths each year are attributable to indoor radon.
In response to this health risk. Congress passed the Indoor Radon Abatement Act of 1988 which
authorizes a $45 million program over  three years.  Key provisions of the legislation include a State
grant  program, technical assistance to the States, public information materials, diagnostic and
remedial  efforts  in schools, measurement  and mitigation proficiency programs,  regional training
centers, development of new building construction standards and Federal building studies.

INITIAL ORGANIZATION

EPA was created through an Executive reorganization plan designed to consolidate a number of federal
environmental activities into a single agency. Our air pollution program draws its organizational roots
from the National Air Pollution Control Administration, transferred from the Department of Health,
Education and Welfare (HEW). The radiation program inherited the Bureau of Radiological Health from
HEW and the Division of Radiation Protection Standards from the Atomic  Energy Commision. In
addition, EPA absorbed the Federal Radiation Council.

In 1970, EPA's first Administrator published an organizational order in which  the five principal
programs - air, radiation, solid waste, water and pesticides - were retained under the management of
commissioners. This was done to assure the continuity of program operations and to allow time to
consider the eventual organizational structure. Also at this time EPA established a presence in the
newly organized Federal structure which divided the nation into 10 regions.

FURTHER REORGANIZATION

In 1971, EPA set up its permanent organizational structure replacing its five  commisioners with two
Assistant Administrators: one for Air and Water Programs, the other for Categorical Programs.  The
responsibilities laid out in the Clean Air Act of 1970 were assigned to the Assistant Administrator for
Air and Water. Radiation responsibilities were assigned to the Assistant Administrator for Categorical
Programs.

The radiation and air functions were combined in a  1974 realignment which resulted in an Office of
Air and Waste Management. This AAship contained air, radiation, and solid waste functions along with
'a new noise program mandated  by Congress in 1.972.

Solid Waste management was  split from  the AAship in  1977  with  the passage "of the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act.  The Office of Air and Waste Management was renamed in 1979 to the
Office of Air, Noise and Radiation reflecting its functions.

In 1982, the Office of Air, Noise  and Radiation abolished its enforcement office and transferred that
function to EPA's central enforcement office ( Office of Enforcement and Compliance Monitoring). At
the same time the noise program was abolished because Congress ceased funding for it.

PRESENT ORGANIZATION

In 1983, the Office of Air, Noise  and Radiation was renamed the Office of Air  and Radiation, a title it
retains today. With the phase out of the noise program, the program contained three offices: the Office
of Air Quality and Standards, the Office of Mobile Sources  and the Office of Radiation Programs.

A final organizational evolution took place in 1988 when  a fourth office was added. The Office of
Atmospheric and Indoor Air Programs was created to handle the emerging issues of indoor air pollution,
acid rain, and ozone depletion.

      The resource increases represent support for new program needs in air toxics, radon,

      The workyear decrease in the early eighties represents reductions to the mobile source

      program, an enforcement reorganization and the elimination of the noise program.

    While dollars have Increased to support new and emerging programs such as radon,
    ozone, air toxics and global changes, at the same time from FY 1981 to FY 1989, there
    were declines in mobile sources and noise programs.

    The decrease In workyears, from FY 1981 to FY 1989. is primarily due to reductions in
    the mobile sources program, the reorganization of enforcement and the elimination of
    the noise program.

    A slight shift in workyears from Headquarters to the Regions shows a shift from
    regulatory development towards program implementation.

years prior to his current assignment. Prior to joining EPA, he worked for the Economic Development
Administration.  Vic has an M.S. in sanitary engineering from New York University and studied at
Princeton as a National Institute of Public Affairs Fellow.

Susan F. Vogt
Acting Deputy Assistant Administrator

Susan Vogt joined EPA in 1976 as a policy analyst in the Office of Water. Since then she has worked
as a special assistant within OPTS, a senior policy analyst in the Office of Solid Waste and Emergency
Response and special assistant to the Deputy Administrator, and she directed the Pesticide Certifica-
tion and Training Program and the Asbestos Action Program.  Before assuming her current duties,
Susan served as Deputy Director of the Office of Toxic Substances since 1986. Susan has a degree in
economics from Colby College.
THE TOXIC SUBSTANCES CONTROL ACT (TSCA)

The Toxic Substances Control Act (1976) authorizes EPA to obtain information from industry on the
production, use, health effects, and other matters concerning chemical substances and mixtures.  If
warranted aft.er considering..the costs, risks, and benefits of a substance, EPA may regulate its
manufacture, processing, distribution in commerce, use, and disposal. Pesticides, tobacco, nuclear.
material, firearms and ammunition, food, food additives, drugs, and cosmetics are exempted from the
Act; these products are currently handled under other laws.


FEDERAL INSECTICIDE, FUNGICIDE, AND RODENTICIDE ACT (FIFRA)

FIFRA encompasses the regulation of pesticides used in the United States and mandates a risk/benefit
balancing approach to regulation. When enacted in  1947, FIFRA was administered by the U.S.
Department of Agriculture and  was intended  to protect  consumers against  fraudulent pesticide
products. In 1970, EPA assumed  responsibility for FIFRA which was amended in 1972 to shift its
emphasis to health and environmental protection. FIFRA authorizes EPA to register pesticides and to
specify the terms and conditions of their use, and remove unreasonably hazardous pesticides from the
marketplace.  The most recent amendments to FIFRA were passed in October 1988.

EPAis also authorized to evaluate several types of special registration submissions such as Experimen-
tal Use Permits and Special Local Needs Permits. In addition, FIFRA permits EPA to issue temporary
exemptions to State or Federal Agencies combatting emergency conditions.


SUPERFUND AMENDMENTS AND REAUTHORIZATION ACT OF 1986 (SARA)
TITLE HI: EMERGENCY PLANNING AND COMMUNITY RIGHT-TO-KNOW
SECTION 313:  TOXIC CHEMICAL RELEASE REPORTING

SARA requires EPA to  establish an  inventory of toxic chemical emissions from certain facilities.
Facilities subject to this reporting requirement are required to complete a toxic chemical release form
for specified chemicals, annually on July 1, reflecting releases during the preceding calendar year. The
purpose of this reporting requirement is to inform the public and government officials about releases
of toxic chemicals in the environment.

ASBESTOS HAZARD EMERGENCY RESPONSE ACT (AHERA)

The Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act was signed into law on October 22, 1986. The law
required EPA to develop regulations'which provide a comprehensive framework for addressing asbes-
tos problems in public and private elementary and secondary schools.  Congress amended AHERA in
1988 to allow a reasonable timeframe for responding to the many requirements.

ASBESTOS SCHOOL HAZARD ABATEMENT ACT (ASHAA)

The Asbestos School Hazard Abatement Act of 1984 established a program within EPA to provide
financial assistance for abatement of asbestos hazards in the Nation's schools. Financial assistance
is awarded on a school-by-school basis to local educational agencies to carry out projects to reduce the
risk to school children or employees of inhaling asbestos fibers. The goal of the Act's loan and grant
program is to provide financial assistance to localities where asbestos problems present the greatest
risk and which have a demonstrated financial need.

FEDERAL FOOD, DRUG, AND COSMETIC ACT (FFDCA)

Under this Act, EPA sets tolerances, or maximum legal limits, for pesticide residues on food
commodities marketed in the U.S. Tolerances apply to imported commodities as well as domestically
produced  food and animal feed. The purpose of the tolerance program is to ensure that the U.S.
consumers are not exposed to unsafe food-pesticide residue levels.

Before a pesticide can be registered under the separate Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide
Act for use on a food or feed crop, EPA must either establish a tolerance, or, if appropriate, grant an
exemption from the tolerance requirement.
FEDERAL INSECTICIDE, FUNGICIDE AND RODENTICIDE ACT (FIFRA)
AMENDMENTS OF 1988
This Act requires a substantial acceleration of the pesticide reregistration activity, imposes statutory
time limits for processing certain types of pesticide registration activities, and changes EPA responsi-
bilities and  funding  requirements for the indemnification, storage and disposal of suspended/
cancelled pesticides. It has provisions for fees to support some of these changes. Tight deadlines and
the fundamental restructuring of the program required by the new legislation make this a critical issue.

BIOTECHNOLOGY
Powerful new techniques have been developed to manipulate genetic material. This has sparked
significant public and scientific debate regarding  potential risk, while commercial interests are
concerned that Federal regulation may impact severely on this emerging industry.  EPA will publish
proposed biotechnology rules under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) in November, 1988 and
under FIFRA in December, 1988.

FINAL RULE FARMWORKER SAFETY
EPA anticipates publication of FIFRA Farmworker Safety final rules in  1989. Successful implemen-
tation of worker protection standards and related product label  changes will necessitate extensive
communications and training to inform workers and employers about protective requirements.

ENDANGERED  SPECIES PROTECTION PROGRAM
EPA must assure that pesticide use does not jeopardize endangered plant and wildlife species. At the
same  time, EPA wants to avoid placing unnecessary limitations on the use of many important
pesticides.  Balancing these responsibilities has led to the development of the Endangered Species
Protection Program.

PESTICIDES IN GROUNDWATER
Pesticides in groundwater is one of the most complex issues facing the Agency. Groundwater provides
about 45% of the total water use in the U.S., as well as drinking water for nearly half of the total U.S.
population. This valuable natural resource can be vulnerable to contamination by pesticides from
normal agricultural use, as well as from leaks, spills or disposal of pesticides. EPA will issue a final
pesticides in groundwater strategy in early 1989.


DISSEMINATION AND USE OF DATA COLLECTED UNDER SECTION 313 OF THE SUPERFUND
AMENDMENTS AND REAUTHORIZATION ACT
Under Section 313 of SARA, certain manufacturers must report releases of specific toxic chemicals to
air, water and land. Congress specified over 300 toxic chemicals for which chemical-specific reports
are to be submitted. EPA is responsible for compiling the reports in a National Toxic Release Inventory
(TRI) and making the data available to the public. This will occur for the first time in the spring of 1989.


PESTICIDE INDEMNIFICATION AND DISPOSAL
EPA is responsible for carrying out the legislative mandates to indemnify and dispose of pesticides
which were suspended and cancelled under the 1978 Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide
Act (FIFRA). Currently, EPA is managing indemnification, consolidation, storage and disposal of three
pesticide products:  2,4,5-T/silvex, ethylene dibromide (EDB) and dinoseb.  This issue is important
because of the huge Federal costs (up to $150 million) to complete these activities.


ASBESTOS IN PUBLIC AND  COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS
In the 100th Congress three bills were introduced which would have required EPA to regulate owners
of p'ublic and commercial buildings.; Congressional hearings are likely as the nation's building owners,
managers and workers,  as well as institutional lenders and property investors, seek EPA direction
regarding the uncertainties associated with exposure to asbestos  materials in their buildings. A
$4 million research plan concerning asbestos in public and commercial buildings is due to Congress
in spring 1989.

INITIAL ORGANIZATION

EPA was created through an Executive reorganization plan designed to consolidate a number of federal
environmental activities into a single agency. EPA inherited portions of pesticides programs from the
Departments of Health, Education and Welfare (now Health and Human Services), Interior, Agriculture
and the Food and Drug Administration.

In 1970, EPA's first Administrator, William Ruckelshaus, published an organizational order in which
the five principal programs: pesticides, water, air, radiation, and solid waste were retained under the
management of commissioners. This was done to assure continuity of program operations and to allow
time to consider the eventual organizational structure. Also at this time, EPA established a presence
in the newly organized federal regional structure which divided the country into 10 regions.

FURTHER REORGANIZATION

In 1971,  EPA set up its permanent organizational structure replacing the commissioners with two
Assistant Administrators; one for Air and Water programs, the other for Catergorical programs. The
pesticides program was combined with the radiation and solid waste programs and reported directly
to the Assistant Administrator for Categorical Programs.

A number of factors affected EPA organizational structure in the early to mid 1970s.  The times were
characterized by heavy activity on the legislative front as well as promulagation of over 1500 rules and
regulations.  Influencing factors on organizational development included amendments to the Clean Air
Act (1972); Environmental Impact Statements required by the National Environmental Policy Act; the
Resource Recovery Act (1970); The Federal Environmental Pesticides Control environment; guidelines
for limited control of radiation (1972); Safety Standards for Farmworkers (1974); regulation of land use
(1972); and revised water pollution legislation (1972).

In early years, the pesticide and toxics program continued to be aligned with the Categorical AAship.
In 1973,  this AAship made an effort to clarify its functions with a more descriptive name and retitled
itself the  Office of Hazardous Materials Control.  In 1974, the Agency underwent another realignment
and the pesticides and toxics program was  combined with the water program under the Assistant
Administrator for Water and Hazardous Materials.  In 1976 theToxic Substances Control Act was
passed. As a result, the Office to Toxic Substances, a staff office reporting to the AA for Water and
Hazardous Materials, was elevated to Assistant Administrator status. The AAship included four
Offices: Chemical Control, Program Integration, Testing and Evaluation, and Pesticide Programs.

PRESENT ORGANIZATION

In 1980, the Toxics AAship reorganized internally with one result being the renaming of the AAship to
the Office of Pesticides and Toxics  (OPTS). The reorganization served several purposes.The first was
to eliminate adminstrative problems experienced under the matrix organization. Other reasons were
to empahsize toxic integration by consolidating the TSCA functions under a single Office, the new Office
of Toxic  Substances,  and finally to develop a  coherent long term TSCA regulatory Strategy.  To
accomplish these purposes, two new staff offices were established, one for toxics integration (implem-
entation) the other foi regulatory strategy. In addition to the two staff offices reporting directly to the
AA, the resultant orj mization contained two program offices ( Toxic Subtances and Pesticides).

In 1984,  OPTS added a new  Office of Compliance to enhance enforcement capability.

RESEARCH STRATEGIES REPORT
The Science Advisory Board completed a report on future directions for environmental research at EPA.
Major recommendations were made on scientific approaches and organizational changes. Among the
Board's recommendations were that EPA should shift the focus of its research to pollution prevention,
establish an Environmental Research  Institute, increase the numbers and sharpen the skills of its
scientists, and double its R&D budget over the next five years.  The Adminisrator has issued a
memorandum outlining the immediate steps that the Agency will take to address some of the issues
raised by the Board's report.

INITIAL ORGANIZATION

EPA was created through an Executive reorganization plan designed to consolidate a number of Federal
environmental activities into a single agency. In 1970, EPA's first Administrator, William Ruckelshaus,
published an organizational order providing for the designation of three Assistant Administrators for
Planning and Management, Standards and Enforcement and General Counsel, and Research  and
Monitoring. The five principal categorical programs -air, water, solid wastes, radiation and pesticides
were retained individually under the management of commissioners.

The original structure of the Office of Research and Monitoring, precursor to today's ORD, was based
in part on a research design prepared by the White House Office of Science and Technology. The initial
organization was established by combining the research components of 15 separate agencies and 42
separate  field installations. The resultant AAship consisted of three offices: Program Operations,
Monitoring and Research.  Four National Environmental Research Centers (NERCs) were created to
carry out actual inhouse research and reported directly to the Assistant Administrator.

FURTHER REORGANIZATION

In 1971, EPA's first permanent organizational structure was announced, and the Office of Research
and Monitoring was officially established.

A 1973 internal ORD reorganization resulted in retitling the office as  the Office to Research  and
Development and expanded its offices from three to five. The reorganization was based on the theory
that research should be aligned with disciplines. The research function was split into Environmental
Sciences which explored the discipline of cause and effects of pollution and Environmental Engineering
which researched control technologies. Like its name, the Program Integration Office was created to.
integrate the program's research needs with "ongoing research disciplines.

Further media accountability was structured by late 1975', when fifteen labs replaced ttie NERCs.  The
labs reported through their respective offices instead of directly to the AA as the NERCs had done.
ORD's organizational structure continued to reflect this trend when in 1975, the AAship reorganized
to meet the  increasing need for media related research  to set standards  mandated by legislation.
Environmental Engineering split into two parts: Energy, Minerals and Industry researched industrial
pollution and Air, Water and Land Use researched non-industrial pollution. Environmental Sciences
underwent a name change to Health and Ecological Effects reflecting EPA's growing emphasis on public
health.

In 1976,  the Carcinogen  Assessment Group  was created  to  communicate ORD's  research on
carcinogens to the outside research and academic communities. In 1979, ORD reorganized again, this
time turning from the media approach back to the discipline approach. The emphasis on health related
research continued to grow with an Office dedicated purely to that area.

The  next years, 1979 and 1980, saw the addition of an Exploratory Research Office created by
Congressional mandate that a percentage of the agency's research would be carried out in universities.
The  Monitoring Office, whose purpose had always been to develop new  monitoring technologies.
assumed the function of quality assurance for ORD research.

The  1980's have seen two changes in the major organizational framework. The Office of Regulatory
Support, created in 198 5 to more closely align research with program regulatory needs, evolved in 1988
to the Office  of Technology Transfer and Regulatory Support.  The Technology Transfer Initiative is an
Agencyvvide initiative aimed at sharing EPA research and knowledge with the Federal, state, local and
private communities . Finally, the monitoring and quality assurance function was combined with a
modeling function into an Office of Modeling,  Monitoring Systems and Quality Assurance.

PRESENT ORGANIZATION

The Office of Research and Development today consists of eight offices: Research Program Manage-
ment; Exploratory Research; Health Research; Technology Transfer and Regulatory Support; Environ-
mental Processes and Effects Research; Environmental Engineering and Technology; Health and
Environmental Assessment; and Modeling, Monitoring and Quality Assurance.
