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.

Cumulative number of HPV (High Production Volume) Hazard Characterizations (HCs) was revised
downward because some chemicals assessed through the Organization for Economic Cooperation
and Development (OECD) Screening Information Data Set (SIDS) process were determined to be
outside the scope of the US HPV program. Also, resources are being redirected toward production of
Risk-Based Prioritization because more HPV HCs have been produced than are needed at this stage.
FY'08 End Of Year (EOY) target for HPV HCs will not be met (revised expected EOY target is 205).
HPV and MPV (Moderate Production Volume) Prioritization activities remain on target.
