    What is the Quarterly Management Report?

    This report shows the US Environmental Protection Agency's progress on selected priorities. It is intended
    to elicit questions that lead to ideas about how the Agency can better execute our responsibilities under
    the law and do a better job of protecting human health and the environment. In many cases, measures
    may be affected by factors outside the Agency's control. Success often relies on working closely with our
    partners: states, territories and tribes.

    This report is only one of many budget, performance, and financial tools used by the Agency for
    management purposes.  It does not include all of the Agency's priorities. The report is a balance of national
    and regional information. Because it is updated quarterly, most measures are outputs, not outcomes.
    However, all the measures are linked to objectives in the Agency's Strategic Plan. Performing well on
    these measures is assumed to lead to improved public health and environmental protection.

      EPA cleanup efforts complement state and local activities to restore
      contaminated properties to environmental and economic vitality. Eight
      Superfund sites achieved "construction completed" in FY07.

         nRedesignations generally show improvement in air quality. Over half of Region
         3 eligible areas and 2 out of 3 eligible areas in Region 1 were redesignated in
         FY07. None were redesignated in Region 2.

      Controlling ground-level ozone continues to be an Agency air priority. Region 5, because it is upwind of the Northeast, is reporting for this measure. A dry, hot summer
      contributed to increased exceedances in many areas.

       Setting Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) is one of the many tools used to reduce nutrient pollution in the Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico.  Regions 5, 7,
       and 8 joined the Great South in reporting this measure. All regions met or surpassed their FY07 targets. Key strategies in FY07 included developing TMDLs in a
       watershed context (Region 5) and assisting state efforts (Region 6).

        Abandoned and poorly managed mining sites may threaten rivers, lakes, estuaries and groundwater. In the Great American West, EPA regions are reclaiming land and
        protecting the environment through removal actions, performing National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) reviews and issuing NPDES permits to meet this challenge.

       EPA is ahead of schedule in developing screening-level hazard characterization
       reports for High Production Volume (HPV) chemicals to identify potential
       hazards. In FY2007, reports were completed for 301 HPV chemicals, exceeding
       the FY 2007 target of 259.  Cumulative progress is 931, which includes a
       baseline of 630 HPV chemicals.

         The Pesticide program is on target for phasing out the old review process,
         which means completing the remaining non-food use Reregistration Eligibility
         Decisions (REDs) by the end ofFYOS, and ramping up the number of docket
         openings and final work plans under registration review to fill the pipeline for
         decisions.
