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.
