Annual Performance Goals and Measures
GOAL: CLEAN AIR
The air in every American community will be safe and healthy to breathe. In particular, children, the elderly, and people with respiratory ailments
will be protected from health risks of breathing polluted air. Reducing air pollution will also protect the environment, resulting in many benefits,
such as restoring life in damaged ecosystems and reducing health risks to those whose subsistence depends directly on those ecosystems.
OBJECTIVE: ATTAIN NAAQS
Reduce the risk to human health and the environment by protecting and improving air quality so that air throughout the country meets
national clean air standards by 2005 for carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, and lead; by 2012 for ozone; and by 2018 for
particulate matter (PM). To accomplish this in Indian country, the tribes and EPA will, by 2005, have developed the infrastructure and skills
to assess, understand, and control air quality and protect Native Americans and others from unacceptable risks to their health, environment,
and cultural uses of natural resources.
Reduce Exposure to Unhealthy Ozone Levels -1 Hour
In 2004	The number of people living in areas with monitored ambient ozone concentrations below the NAAQS for the 1-hour ozone standard will increase by
1% (relative to 2003) for a cumulative total of 20% (relative to 1992).
In 2003	Maintain healthy air quality for 42 million people living in monitored areas attaining the ozone standard; certify that 7 areas of the remaining 54
nonattainment areas have attained the 1-hour NAAQS for ozone thus increasing the number of people living in areas with healthy air by 5.1 million.
In 2002	Maintained healthy air quality for 41.7 million people living in monitored areas attaining the ozone standard; and certified 1 area of the remaining 55
nonattainment areas attained the 1-hour NAAQS for ozone, thus increasing the number of people living in areas with healthy air by 326,000.
In 2001	EPA maintained healthy air quality for 38.2 million people living in 43 areas attaining the ozone standard, increased by 3.5 million the number of people
living in areas with healthy air quality that have newly attained the standard by certifying that 3 new areas have attained the 1-hour standard.
In 2000	Maintained healthy air quality for 33.4 million people living in 43 areas attaining the ozone standard.
In 1999	The Regions revoked the 1-hour standard in 10 areas. However, based upon the Circuit Court decision regarding the revised ozone standard, the
Agency has proposed to reinstate the 1-hour standard.

Demonstrated Attainment of the N02 Standard
Baseline:	At the time the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 were enacted (for the period 1991-1992), 27 areas (counties comprising nonattainment areas for the
comparisons with the NAAQS) with a population of 48 million people had ambient CO, S02, N02, or Pb concentrations (comparisons of ambient air
quality concentrations with the level of the NAAQS are based on a time period and statistic consistent with each individual NAAQS) that were greater
than the level of the NAAQS. For the period 2000-2001 (For some of the pollutants included in this measure, the number of years used to evaluate the
ambient concentrations relative to the NAAQS may be less than the referenced time period: e.g. N02 is evaluated over a single year.), 20 of these areas
(74%) with a population of 30 million (63%) had ambient CO, S02, N02, or Pb concentrations less than the level of the NAAQS. (Population estimates
based on 2000 census.) The projected improvement in 2004 is estimated for a single area. Therefore, the increase by definition must occur in a single
year interval. In addition, the population living in this areas of improved air quality is small relative to that for the remaining areas. Therefore the
projected improvement in population is greater than zero but less than 1. For CO, S02, N02, and Pb, 107 areas were classified as nonattainment or
were unclassified in 1990. Through 2002, 76 of those areas have been redesignated to attainment. The 1995 baseline for mobile source emissions for
CO was 70,947,000 tons.
Reduce Exposure to Unhealthy Ozone Levels - 8 Hour
In 2004	The number of people living in areas with monitored ambient ozone concentrations below the NAAQS for the 8-hour ozone standard will increase by
3% (relative to 2003) for a cumulative total of 3% (relative to 2001).

PM Effects Research
In 2004	Provide reports to OAR and the scientific community that examine the health effects of high levels of air pollutants, especially particulate matter, in
potentially susceptible populations so that PM standards protect human health to the maximum extent possible.
In 2002	EPA provided data on the health effects and exposure to particulate matter (PM) and provided methods for assessing the exposure and toxicity of PM in
healthy and potentially susceptible subpopulations to strengthen the scientific basis for reassessment of the NAAQS for PM.
In 2001
EPA provided new information on the atmospheric concentrations, human exposure, health effects and mechanisms of toxicity of particulate matter.
In 2000	EPA provided new information on the atmospheric concentrations, human exposure, and health effects of particulate matter (PM), including PM2.5, and
incorporated it and other peer-reviewed research findings in the second External Review Draft of the PM AQCD for NAAQS review.
In 1999	Completed three reports on PM: (1) describing research designed to test a hypothesis about mechanisms of PM-induced toxicity; (2) characterizing
factors affecting PM dosimetry in humans; and (3) identifying PM characteristics (e.g. composition) associated with biological responses.

Baseline:	There is currently considerable concern that increased levels of particulate matter (PM) may disproportionately affect certain susceptible groups,
especially when exposures are long-term. One such group is children, particularly those with pre-existing asthma and related cardiopulmonary diseases.
Children living in areas of high pollution such as on the U.S.-Mexico border are particularly at risk due to economic factors as well as exposure. The
elderly with chronic lung disease comprise another susceptible group who may be more acutely affected. Which components of PM are responsible for
health effects in either of these groups remains unclear, as does how exposure data from monitoring sites relates to their personal situations. As noted
by the National Research Council, the issue of susceptibility and chronic health outcomes is of utmost importance. Completion of this APG in FY 2004

will provide critical information to enhance risk estimates needed for promulgating the PM NAAQS and will provide information to the Office of Air so
that it may focus its Air Quality Index on those who are at greatest risk.
OBJECTIVE: REDUCE AIR TOXICS RISK
By 2020, eliminate unacceptable risks of cancer and other significant health problems from air toxic emissions for at least 95 percent of the
population, with particular attention to children and other sensitive subpopulations, and substantially reduce or eliminate adverse effects on
our natural environment. By 2010, the tribes and EPA will have the information and tools to characterize and assess trends in air toxics in
Indian country.
Reduce Air Toxic Emissions
In 2004	Air toxics emissions nationwide from stationary and mobile sources combined will be reduced by an additional 2% of the updated 1993 baseline of 6.0
million tons for a cumulative reduction of 37%.
In 2003	Air toxics emissions nationwide from stationary and mobile sources combined will be reduced by an additional 1% of the updated 1993 baseline of 6.0
million tons for a cumulative reduction 35%.
In 2002	End-of-year FY 2002 data will be available in late 2004 to verify that air toxics emissions nationwide from stationary and mobile sources combined will
be reduced by 1.5% from 2001 for a cumulative reduction of 33.5% from the 1993 baseline of 6.0 million tons per year.
In 2001	End-of-year FY 2001 data will be available in late 2004 to verify that air toxics emissions nationwide from stationary and mobile sources combined will

Reduced
Baseline:	In 1993, the last year before the MACT standards and mobile source regulations developed under the Clean Air Act began to be implemented, stationary
and mobile sources are now estimated to have emitted 6.0 million tons of air toxics. (EPA's prior estimate was 4.3 million tons and was updated with
improved inventory data.) Air toxics emission data are revised every three years to generate inventories for the National Toxics Inventory (NTI). In the
intervening years between the update of the NTI, the model EMS-HAP (Emissions Modeling System for Hazardous Air Pollutants) is used to estimate
and project annual emissions of air toxics. EMS-HAP projects emissions, by adjusting point, area and mobile emission data to account for growth and
emission reductions resulting from emission reduction scenarios such as the implementation of the Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT)
standards. The FY 2003 target does not have growth factored in. With growth, the target for 2003 is a 1% reduction from 2002 levels for a cumulative
reduction of 35%.
OBJECTIVE: REDUCE ACID RAIN.
By 2005, reduce ambient nitrates and total nitrogen deposition to 1990 levels. By 2010, reduce ambient sulfates and total sulfur deposition by
up to 30 percent from 1990 levels.
Reduce S02 Emissions
In 2004	Maintain or increase annual S02 emission reduction of approximately 5 million tons from the 1980 baseline. Keep annual emissions below level
authorized by allowance holdings and make progress towards achievement of Year 2010 S02 emissions cap for utilities.
In 2003	Maintain or increase annual S02 emission reduction of approximately 5 million tons from the 1980 baseline. Keep annual emissions below level
authorized by allowance holdings and make progress towards achievement of Year 2010 S02 emissions cap for utilities.
In 2002	On track to ensure that EPA maintains or increases annual S02 emission reduction of approximately 5 million tons from the 1980 baseline. Keep
annual emissions below level authorized by allowance holdings and make progress towards achievement of Year 2010 S02 emissions cap for utilities.
In 2001	Approximately 5 million tons of S02 emissions from utility sources were reduced from the 1980 baseline.
In 2000	6.3 million tons of S02 emissions from utility sources were reduced from 1980 baseline.
In 1999	5.04 million tons of S02 emissions from utility sources were reduced from 1980 baseline and 420,000 tons of NOx from coal-fired utility sources were
reduced from levels that would have been emitted withou implementation of Title IV of the Clean Air Act Amendments.

Baseline:	The base of comparison for assessing progress on the annual performance goal is the 1980 emissions baseline. The 1980 S02 emissions inventory
totals 17.5 million tons for electric utility sources. This inventory was developed by National Acid Precipitation Assessment Program (NAPAP) and
used as the basis for reductions in Title IV of the Clean Air Act Amendments. This data is also contained in EPA's National Air Pollutant Emissions
Trends Report. Statutory S02 emissions cap for year 2010 and later is at 8.95 million tons which is approximately 8.5 million tons below 1980
emissions level. "Allowable S02 emission level" consists of allowance allocations granted to sources each year under several provisions of the Act and
additional allowances carried over, or banked, from previous years.

February 22, 2002. Nearly 97 percent of the water systems affected by this rule are small systems that serve less than 10,000 people each. These small
systems have limited resources and need more cost-effective technologies to meet the new standard. A total of $20 million has been allocated or
planned in FY02 and FY03 for research and development of more cost-effective technologies, as well as technical assistance and training to operators of
small systems to reduce their compliance costs. In FY 2004 EPA will provide final reports of full-scale demonstrations of arsenic treatment
technologies to aid in the implementation of the arsenic rule and the protection of human health.

Baseline:	These technology verifications are being conducted in support of EPA's Draft Strategic Plan for Homeland Security and are focused on the water
security tactic in the strategy. Evaluations of point-of-use drinking water treatment technologies have been ongoing for years and technologies are
commercially available to remove disagreeable tastes and odors, and capture or neutralize contaminants. These point-of-use treatment technologies are
now being considered as an additional means of treating water that may have been exposed to biological or chemical contaminants through terrorist
attacks. What makes this undertaking unique is that the Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) program will formally verify such technologies
using a standard protocol developed by a group of stakeholders, who are considered experts on such verifications. This additional line of defense can
help reassure home and building owners and users, water supply utilities, and public officials that the drinking water supply in a residential or
commercial building can be treated one more times once it enters the water distribution system of a building.

OBJECTIVE: PROTECT WATERSHEDS AND AQUATIC COMMUNITIES
By 2005, increase by 175 the number of watersheds where 80 percent or more of assessed waters meet water quality standards, including
standards that support healthy aquatic communities. (The 1998 baseline is 501 watersheds out of a national total of 2,262.)
Watershed Protection
In 2004	By FY 2005, Water quality will improve on a watershed basis such that 625 of the Nation's 2,262 watersheds will have greater than 80 percent of
assessed waters meeting all water quality standards, up from 500 watersheds in 1998.
In 2003	By FY 2003, Water quality will improve on a watershed basis such that 600 of the Nation's 2,262 watersheds will have greater than 80 percent of
assessed waters meeting all water quality standards, up from 500 watersheds in 1998.
In 2002	This measure reflects states' biennial reporting under CWA 305(b), and is not intended to be reported against again until the FY2003 reporting cycle.

Annual Performance Goals and Measures
Baseline:	The costs and complexities of meeting water quality goals subject to urban stormwater permits are daunting. The role of Best Management Practices
(BMP's) as both an effective and economical means to meet permit requirements remains the central regulatory and non-regulatory approach for
restoring much of the Nation's degraded water quality in urban environments. The scientific literature and reviews of current design and monitoring
practices show that the effectiveness of BMPs is highly variable, is often defined and reported differently, and that monitoring rarely documents
biological water quality improvements. Efforts are needed to better monitor and characterize the performance of BMPs by detailed analysis of the
physical, chemical and biological processes common to many diverse BMPs. Based on on-going research in this area, in FY 2004, EPA will provide
comprehensive guidance for application of stormwater BMPs in highly variable urban watersheds across the U.S. This guidance will provide states,
regions and watershed managers a means for determining the effectiveness of BMPs in meeting water quality goals.

GOAL: SAFE FOOD
The foods Americans eat will be free from unsafe pesticide residues. Particular attention will be given to protecting subpopulations that may be more
susceptible to adverse effects of pesticides or have higher dietary exposures to pesticide residues. These include children and people whose diets
include large amounts of noncommercial foods.
OBJECTIVE: REDUCE RISKS FROM PESTICIDE RESIDUES IN FOOD
By 2006, reduce public health risk from pesticide residues in food from pre-Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA) levels (pre-1996).
Decrease Risk from Agricultural Pesticides
In 2004	Decrease adverse risk from agricultural uses from 1995 levels.
In 2004	Decrease risk from agricultural uses from 1995 levels.
In 2003	Decrease adverse risk from agricultural uses from 1995 levels and assure that new pesticides that enter the market are safe for humans and the
environment, through ensuring that all registration action are timely and comply with standards mandated by law.
In 2002	In FY 2002, EPA continued to register pest control products, including "safer" pesticides, thus ensuring that growers have an adequate number of pest
control options available to them.
In 2001	The Agency registered 9 new chemicals, exceeding its target by 2, and 267 new chemicals, underperforming its target by 83.
In 2001	The registration of new agricultural pesticides, and reregistration of older agricultural pesticides, were done under the strict health-based standard of
FQPA: "reasonable certainty of no harm." "Safer" pesticides are those that meet a stricter set of criteria.
In 2000	The Registration Program completed registrations for 9 new chemicals, 3069 amendments, 1106 me-toos, 427 new uses, 95 inerts, 458 special
registrations, 452 tolerances, and 13 reduced risk chemicals/biopesticides.
In 1999	In FY 1999, EPA registered 19 additional reduced risk pesticides, including 13 biopesticides. EPA established 351 new pesticide food tolerances and
acted on 681 proposed new pesticide uses, ensuring that all meet the new health safety standard of "reasonable certainty of no harm."

Baseline:	The baseline for registration of reduced risk pesticides, new chemicals, and new uses, the baseline is zero in the year 1996 (the year FQPA was enacted).
Progress is measured cumulatively since 1996. The baseline for acres-treated is 3.6% of total acreage in 1998, when the reduced-risk pesticide acres-
treatments was 30,332,499 and total (all pesticides) was 843,063,644 acre-treatments. Each year's total acre-treatments, reported by USDA's National
Agricultural Statistical Survey serve as the basis for computing the percentage of acre-treatments using reduced risk pesticides. Acre-treatments count
the total number of pesticide treatments each acre receives each year. The baseline for residues on children's foods is occurance on 33.5% of composite
sample of children's foods in the baseline years 1994-1996. There are currently no products registered for use against other potential bio-agents (non-
anthrax).
Baseline:	There are currently no products registered for use against other potential bio-agents (non-anthrax).
OBJECTIVE: ELIMINATE USE ON FOOD OF PESTICIDES NOT MEETING STANDARDS
By 2008, use on food of current pesticides that do not meet the new statutory standard of "reasonable certainty of no harm" will be eliminated.

In 2002	Reregistration efforts delayed to focus on reviewing and testing pesticides against anthrax.
In 2001	EPA reassessed 40% of tolerances requiring reassessment under FQPA and issued a cumulative 72% of total REDs required, achieving both targets.
In 2000	We did not achieve our FY2000 target for tolerance reassessments due to the ongoing work to establish a science policy on cumulative risk. Although
we missed our annual target, we are still on track to meet our statutory deadlines to reassess all tolerances.
In 1999	Tolerances reassessed by EPA through Sept. 30, 1999 totaled 35%, exceeding both our cumulative target and the statutory deadline of reassessing 33%
of the existing tolerances by Aug. 1999.

Annual Performance Goals and Measures
GOAL: BETTER WASTE MANAGEMENT, RESTORATION OF CONTAMINATED WASTE SITES, AND EMERGENCY RESPONSE
America's wastes will be stored, treated and disposed of in ways that prevent harm to people and to the natural environment. EPA will work to clean
up previously polluted sites, restore them to uses appropriate for surrounding communities, and respond to and prevent waste-related or industrial
accidents.
OBJECTIVE: CONTROL RISKS FROM CONTAMINATED SITES AND RESPOND TO EMERGENCIES
By 2005, EPA and its federal, state, tribal, and local partners will reduce or control the risk to human health and the environment at more than
374,000 contaminated Superfund, RCRA, underground storage tank (UST), and brownfield sites and have the planning and preparedness
capabilities to respond successfully to all known emergencies to reduce the risk to human health and the environment.
Superfund Cost Recovery
In 2004	Ensure trust fund stewardship by getting PRPs to initiate or fund the work and recover costs from PRPs when EPA expends trust fund monies. Address
cost recovery at all NPL and non-NPL sites with a statute of limitations (SOL) on total past costs equal to or greater than $200,000.
In 2003	Ensure trust fund stewardship by getting PRPs to initiate or fund the work and recover costs from PRPs when EPA expends trust fund monies. Address
cost recovery at all NPL and non-NPL sites with a statute of limitations (SOL) on total past costs equal to or greater than $200,000.
In 2002	The goal was met. Cost recovery was addressed at 204 NPL and non-NPL sites of which 101 had total past costs greater than or equal to $200,000 and
potential statute of limitiations (SOL) concerns. EPA secured cleanup and ocst recovery commitments from private parties in excess of $645 million.
In 2001	Although the goal was not met, there was no loss in dollars recovered. Cost recovery was addressed at 208 National Priorities List (NPL) and non-NPL
sites during FY 2001, of which 89 had total past costs greater than or equal to $200,000 and potential statute of limitations (SOL) concerns. EPA
addressed cost recovery for 87 of the 89 sites and planned to write off costs associated with the two other SOL cases, but decision documents were not
completed before the expiration of the SOL. The documents were finalized before the end of the fiscal year. EPA's cost recovery activities are important
because they preserve the Superfund Trust Fund by recovering EPA's past costs, making resources available for other Superfund site cleanups. With
respect to private parties in FY 2001, EPA secured cleanup and cost recovery commitments in excess of $1.7 billion (more than $1.45 billion for future
cleanup and $355 million for recovery of past costs).
In 2000	Addressed cost recovery at 98.5% of NPL and non-NPL sites with a statute of limitations on total past costs equal to or greater than $200,000.
In 1999	We met our goal to ensure trust fund stewardship by recovering costs from PRPs when EPA expends trust fund monies. EPA addressed cost recovery at
99% of all National Priority List (NPL) and non-NPL sites with a statute of limitations on total past costs equal to or greater than $200,000.

Superfund Potentially Responsible Party Participat
In 2004	Maximize all aspects of PRP participation which includes maintaining PRP work at 70% of the new remedial construction starts at non-Federal Facility
Superfund, and emphasize fairness in the settlement process.
In 2003	Maximize all aspects of PRP participation which includes maintaining PRP work at 70% of the new remedial construction starts at non-Federal Facility
Superfund, and emphasize fairness in the settlement process.
In 2002	In FY 2002 the percentage of remidial construction starts initiatied by reponsible parties exceeded the target by one percent.
In 2001	In FY 2001 the percentage of remedial construction starts initiated by responsible parties was slightly less than the target, but the average over the past 3
years is 73%. EPA determines the percentage of remedial construction starts conducted by responsible parties at non-federal facility Superfund sites
because it indicates the percentage of sites where cleanup is achieved using private party funding as opposed to the Superfund Trust Fund. For the
future, the definition of responsible party-led remedial construction starts has been revised to include those construction starts performed by EPA but
having the majority of funding come from special accounts. Majority is defined to mean that the funding contributed by responsible parties toward the
total response cost to the special account exceeds the amount contributed by the largest non-private entity. To ensure fairness in the settlement process,
EPA successfully made orphan share offers at 100% of work settlement negotiations. Of the 18 sites having small waste contributors that were targeted
for de minimis settlements in FY 2001, 15 de minimis settlements were accomplished. The target was missed because of complex issues related to three
settlements.
In 2000	Maximize all aspects of PRP participation by maintaining PRP work at 68% of the new remedial construction starts at non-Federal Facility Superfund
sites, while emphasizing fairness in the settlement process.
In 1999	Achieved >70% responsible party participation in new remedial actions at NPLsites. Goal met with the exception of completing 5 Sect 106 Civil
Actions & 2 Remedial Admin Orders primarily due to a decline in the no. of sites available for Remedial Design/Remedial Action negotiation
completions.

Baseline:	Much of the controversy over selecting remedies for contaminated sediment sites arises because the effects and effectiveness of the remedies is not well
documented. Congress identified this issue when it directed EPA to have the National Academy of Science conduct a study of the "...availability,
effectiveness, costs, and effects of technologies for the remediation of sediments contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), including
dredging and disposal." The resulting National Research Council (NRC) report included a major recommendation that "Long-term monitoring and
evaluation of PCB-contaminated sediment sites should be conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the management approach and to ensure adequate,
continuous protection of humans and the environment." In FY 2004, EPA will complete data sets on implementing and monitoring remedies in order to
help reduce the uncertainty associated with remedy selection and to identify the methods that efficiently chart remedy performance over time.

Annual Performance Goals and Measures
Baseline:	Anthrax contamination and the extensive clean-up efforts in postal facilities plus several other government and commercial buildings emphasized the
need for improved methods to enhance security against terrorist activities in buildings and provide additional options for cleaning up buildings. EPA's
two-year plan focuses on research, development, testing, and communication of enhanced methods for detection and containment of biological and
chemical warfare agents and toxic industrial chemicals intentionally introduced into large buildings. This plan also addresses decontamination of
building surfaces, furnishings, and equipment, with safe disposal of residual materials. Every effort is being made to coordinate EPA's work with other
government agencies, to avoid redundancy and to maximize the utility of this work. With the FY 2004 building decontamination research, emergency
responders, building owners/managers, and decontamination crews will have information, including guidance documents and technology evaluations,
needed to enhance safety in buildings and to mitigate adverse effects of the purposeful introduction of hazardous chemicals or biological materials into
indoor air.
OBJECTIVE: REGULATE FACILITIES TO PREVENT RELEASES

approximately 35,000 (cumulative) 55 gallon drams will be safely disposed. In FY 2003, EPA expects that DOE will ship an additional 12,000 55
gallon drams of waste. Through FY 2004, EPA expects that DOE will have shipped safely and according to EPA standards, approximately 7.5% of the
planned waste volume, based on disposal of 860,000 drams over the next 40 years. Number of drums shipped to the WIPP facility on an annual basis is
dependent on DOE priorities and funding. EPA volume estimates are based on projecting the average shipment volumes over 40 years with an initial
start up.

In 2003	Great Lakes ecosystem components will improve, including progress on fish contaminants, beach closures, air toxics, and trophic status.
In 2002	By removing or containing contaminated sediments, 100,000-200,000 pounds of persistent toxics which could adversely affect human health will no
longer be biologically available through the food chain. This contributes to decreasing fish contaminants and advances the goal of removing fish
advisories
In 2001	Great Lakes ecosystem components improved, including progress on fish contaminants, beach toxics, air toxics, and trophic status.
In 2000	6,000 of acres of acquatic, wetland, riverine, and terrestrial Great Lakes habitats were positively impacted.

to be less than 2 parts per million (the FDA action level), but far above the Great Lakes Initiative target or levels at which fish advisories can be
removed. The trend (starting with 1992 data) for PCB concentrations in the air is expected to range from 50 to 250 picograms per cubic meter. The
trend (starting with 1983 data) for phosphorus concentrations is expected to range from 4 to 10 parts per billion, levels established in the Great Lakes
Water Quality Agreement. The 1970 baseline of oxygen depletion of the Lake Erie central basin is 3.8 mg/liter/month. EPA is working with its

Baseline:	The US-Mexico border region extends more than 3,100 kilometers (2,000 miles) from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacfic Ocean, and 62.5 miles on each
side on the international border. More than 11.8 million people reside along the border. The figure is expected to reach 19.4 million by 2020. Ninety
percent of the population reside in the 14 paired, interdependent sister cities. Rapid population growth in urban areas has resulted in unplanned
developmement, greater demand for land and energy, increased traffic congestion, increased waste generation, overburdened or unavailable waste
tratment and disposal facilities, and more frequent chemical emergencies. Rural areas suffer from exposure to airborne dust, pesticide use, and
inadequate water supply and waste treatment facilities. EPA, other U.S. federal agencies, and the Government of Mexico have partnered to address
these environmental problems.
OBJECTIVE: REDUCE GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS.
By 2010, U.S. greenhouse gas emissions will be substantially reduced through programs and policies that also lead to reduced costs to
consumers of energy and reduced emissions leading to cleaner air and water. In addition, EPA will carry out assessments and analyses and
promote education to provide an understanding of the consequences of global change needed for decision making.

Baseline:	The baseline for evaluating program performance is a projection of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions in the absence of the U.S. climate change programs.
The baseline was developed as part of an interagency evaluation of the U.S. climate change programs in 2002, which built on similar baseline forecasts
developed in 1997 and 1993. Baseline data for carbon emissions related to energy use is based on data from the Energy Information Agency (EIA).
Baseline data for non-carbon dioxide (C02) emissions, including nitrous oxide and other high global warming potential gases are maintained by EPA.
Baseline information is discussed at length in the U.S. Climate Action Report 2002 (www.epa.gov/globalwarming/publications/car/index.html), which
provides a discussion of differences in assumptions between the 1997 baseline and the 2002 update, including which portion of energy efficiency
programs are included in the estimates. EPA develops the non-C02 emissions baselines and projections using information from partners and other
sources. EPA continues to develop annual inventories as well as update methodologies as new information becomes available.

6-Year Performance Data
Annual Performance Goals and Measures
Baseline:	The base of comparison for assessing progress on the 2003 annual performance goal is the domestic consumption cap of class II HCFCs as set by the
Parties to the Montreal Protocol. Each Ozone Depleting Substance (ODS) is weighted based on the damage it does to the stratospheric ozone - this is its
ozone-depletion potential (ODP). Beginning on January 1, 1996, the cap was set at the sum of 2.8 percent of the domestic ODP-weighted consumption
of CFCs in 1989 plus the ODP-weighted level of HCFCs in 1989. Consumption equals production plus import minus export.
OBJECTIVE: PROTECT PUBLIC HEALTH AND ECOSYSTEMS FROM PBTS AND OTHER TOXICS.

Baseline:	The Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) is an EPA database containing Agency consensus scientific positions on potential adverse human health
effects that may result from exposure to chemical substances found in the environment. IRIS currently provides information on health effects associated
with chronic exposure to over 500 specific chemical substances. IRIS contains chemical-specific summaries of qualitative and quantitative health
information in support of the first two steps of the risk assessment process, i.e., hazard identification and dose-response evaluation. Combined with
specific situational exposure assessment information, the information in IRIS may be used as a source in evaluating potential public health risks from
environmental contaminants. IRIS is widely used in risk assessments for EPA regulatory programs and site-specific decision making. Updating IRIS
with new scientific information is critical to maintaining information quality and providing decision makers with a credible source of health effects
information. Risk assessment work in FY 2004 will provide EPA and other decision makers with needed updates to IRIS so they can make informed
decisions on how to best protect the public from harmful chemical exposure.
OBJECTIVE: IMPROVE AGENCY INFORMATION INFRASTRUCTURE AND SECURITY.
Through 2006, EPA will continue to improve the reliability, capability, and security of EPA's information infrastructure.
Information Security

A study of fish genetic diversity that demonstrates the	1	report
power of this emerging technology for evaluating
condition and vitality of biotic communities to Federal,

Baseline:	The development and application of new and more powerful methods to evaluate ecological integrity is central to many state and Federal assessment
programs, including EPA's Environmental Monitoring and Assessment Program (EMAP) and Regional Vulnerability Assessment (ReVA) program.
Technological progress in the fields of molecular biology and genetics have allowed, for the first time, the cost-effective analysis of patterns in the
genetic diversity of aquatic populations over large regional scales. This genetic information brings new and powerful information to our understanding
of aquatic ecosystems, including the identification of appropriate ecological assessment units, the linkages between environmental condition and
population responses, and estimates of the future susceptibility of populations due to loss of genetic diversity. In FY 2004, a report will be prepared that
summarizes the results of research on the genetic diversity of indicator fish species inhabiting wadeable streams in EMAP's Mid-Atlantic Integrated
Assessment (MAIA) area, as well as in parts of Ohio that were evaluated as part of a regional EMAP assessment. This report will provide resource
managers and the public with a more complete understanding of the present condition of these biological resources and their vulnerability to predicted
environmental changes.

OBJECTIVE: IMPROVE SCIENTIFIC BASIS TO MANAGE ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS AND EXPOSURES.
Improve the scientific basis to identify, characterize, assess, and manage environmental hazards and exposures that pose the greatest health
risks to the American public by developing models and methodologies to integrate information about exposures and effects from multiple
pathways. This effort includes focusing on risks faced by susceptible populations, such as people differentiated by life stage (e.g., children
and the elderly) and ethnic/cultural background.

Study" to estimate aggregate exposures and identify
critical exposure factors.
Baseline:	Current risk assessments for children are severely hampered by a lack of exposure data and by exposure factors that are insufficient for describing how
exposures change as children grow up and alter their activities. This research will provide significant new data on children's exposures to a wide range
of environmental pollutants as they go about their daily lives, focusing on exposures in their homes and/or in daycare centers. The updated exposure
factors will be more reliable, since they will incorporate more complete and better data and approaches to describe children's exposures to
environmental pollutants. The data and factors developed in FY 2004 will significantly improve the reliability of the estimates of children's exposure
and risk used by regulatory decision-makers throughout EPA.
Homeland Security - Rapid Risk Assessment

Baseline:	The attacks on the Pentagon and World Trade Center, and the subsequent mailing of anthrax-contaminated letters, were unprecedented events in United
States history. Other such events could occur in the future, or a totally different type of an attack might be conducted by a terrorist group or individual.
The human health and ecological consequences of such events cannot be known before they happen. It is clear, however, that both human health and
the environment will be impacted, either directly or as a result of efforts to contain, decontaminate, or dispose of materials from such events. It is
essential that information on human health and ecological risks be developed as quickly as possible to help inform the relevant EPA personnel who can
then share that information with public officials and the affected individuals. Such assessments must be conducted recognizing that in many instances
supporting technical data will be limited. No current database is available that identifies those individuals within EPA that have the knowledge,
experience, and expertise to address risk assessment issues such as source characterization, hazard identification, dose-response assessment, exposure
assessment, and risk characterization in a short time frame. The database that will be completed in FY 2004 will allow EPA to develop a quick-response
capability to future events so that assessments of human health and ecological impacts can be conducted rapidly. The database is being developed in
support of EPA's Draft Strategic Plan for Homeland Security and is focused on the rapid risk assessment tactic described in the strategy.

Baseline:	Protecting the public and the environment from risks posed by violations of environmental requirements is basic to EPA's mission. To develop a more
complete picture of the results of the enforcement and compliance program, EPA has initiated a number of performance measures designed to capture
the results of lowering the timeline for significant noncompliers to return to compliance, reducing noncompliance recidivism rates, and improvements
in facility process and/or management practices through behavioral changes. The baseline rates for many of these measures were established in FY00.
These measures will complement the traditional enforcement measures of inspections and enforcement actions to provide a more complete picture of
environmental results from the enforcement and compliance program.
