Prepared for Congress per the requirements of section 3(b)(2) of Public Law 115-336.

21st Century Integrated Digital Experience Act -
Report to Congress on Modernizing Agency Websites
and Digital Services

As required by section 3(b)(2) of Public Law 115-336,1 the 21st Century Integrated Digital
Experience Act (21C IDEA), this report includes a list of key websites and digital services
operated by EPA that have been prioritized and targeted for modernization.

Background

The 21st Century IDEA requires each federal executive branch agency to provide a prioritized
list of the agencies' "most-viewed or utilized by the public or are otherwise important" public
websites and digital services in compliance with section 3(a) of the law, and to provide an
estimation of the cost and schedule to modernize those sites and services.

Overview of EPA's Web Presence

The EPA's primary public website is www.epa.gov. It is our most important channel for sharing
environmental information with the American public. In FY22 www.epa.gov received
approximately 17 million hits per month (down from 20.9 million in 2021; 20 million in 2020 and
13 million in 2019) and 4.6 million unique visitors per month (down from 5.8 million in 2021; 5
million in 2020 and 3 million in 2019). www.epa.gov is managed by EPA's Office of the
Administrator (OA) / Office of Public Affairs (OPA) / Office of Web Communications (OWC) and
the Office of Mission Support - Environmental Information (OMS-EI) / Office of Information
Management (OIM) / Web Content Services Division (WCSD). Rigorous governance and
management controls have been implemented to optimize adherence to 21C IDEA and other
federal web management requirements (see Table 3: Summary of 21st Century IDEA
Requirements).

In addition to www.epa.gov, EPA owns 12 other domains and hundreds of subdomains which
serve more specialized needs for more specific audiences. These domains and subdomains are
managed by the individual program offices within EPA. OWC and OMS lead a central web
governance council which provides agency-wide policies, procedures, standards, and guidance
to help the program offices implement web management best practices. This report shows that
EPA's primary website, www.epa.gov, complies with all requirements of the 21C IDEA and it
also describes the steps that EPA is taking to improve compliance on all domains.

Modernization Priorities

Progress Since Last Report

In Fiscal Year (FY) 2022, EPA undertook several major initiatives to bring its web presence into
compliance with the 21C IDEA.

EPA Web Inventory

In 2020 the Agency conducted its first comprehensive inventory of all web properties by
compiling data from various sources including GSA's Digital Dashboard, Google Analytics,
EPA's HTTPS Tracking Report, and EPA's Registry of Environmental Applications and
Databases. In 2020, EPA reported over 450 internal and external website URL's (subdomains).
For last year's report, the inventory identified over 500 internal and external website URL's
(subdomains) belonging to EPA. For this year's report, the inventory identified over 600 internal
and external website URL's (subdomains) belonging to EPA. EPA continues making significant
progress identifying points of contact for each website.

WebCMS Upgrade

EPA began work to upgrade its Web Content Management System (WebCMS) to Drupal 10,
incorporating a new administrative theme, an update to PHP version 8, and a new WYSIWYG
editor for making content edits easier for its users. EPA also switched from Akamai, a Content
Delivery Network (CDN) to Amazon Web Services (AWS) CloudFront and Web Application
Firewall. Moving to AWS resulted in a cost avoidance of over $20 thousand per month due to
lower AWS costs. The switch to CloudFront also improved the publication time: content editors
and the public saw updates much faster and more consistently than on Akamai. The application
was updated nine times with over 100 feature enhancements, over 50 bugfixes and security
updates, and over ten accessibility improvements. EPA's flagship website, www.epa.gov, which
is managed in the WebCMS, ranked in the top 1% of the top 1,000,000 website home pages
with zero accessibility errors. The enhanced codebase allowed EPA staff to build single-page
applications, including the COVID-19 Facility Screener, fully in the WebCMS with no external
dependencies. EPA continues to promote the expansion of the USWDS 3.0 implementation
from www.epa.gov to additional domains and subdomains.

Intranet Modernization

In FY19, EPA established an Intranet Council to oversee the implementation of an enterprise
intranet governance framework. In FY20, EPA embarked on an Intranet Modernization effort to:
improve communications through consistent local and national messaging; improve
collaboration by leveraging 0365; increase productivity by providing easy, seamless access to
information, tools and services; and improve efficiency by implementing industry-leading web
management best practices. In FY21, EPA conducted an Enterprise Content Management
System (Intranet CMS) pilot based on the newly released US Web Design System 2.0. In
FY22, EPA successfully launched its new Intranet CMS which fully complies with the 21C IDEA
by using an open-source Drupal-based platform to implement internal web management
directives including procedures, standards and guidance. The new design also uses the
USWDS 2.0 code library, tools, guidance, user research, and modern best practices to make it
easier to manage, organize, and present EPA's internal enterprise content in a way that meets
evolving information needs. In FY23 EPA will begin work to upgrade its Intranet CMS to Drupal
10, incorporating a new administrative theme and an update to PHP version 8.

-------
Web Compliance Monitoring

EPA will expand its Web Analytics capabilities to more subdomains in FY23 to provide more
granular data to monitor and track improvements in compliance with 21C IDEA. Additionally, to
track EPA's subdomains (both internal and external), EPA modified its procedures for
requesting new subdomains to stop the uncontrolled proliferation of new websites and to require
that new subdomains are created in compliance with 21C IDEA and other Federal Web
management requirements.

EPA is serving as the first Agency to participate in a pilot with GSA to report out on the status of
21C IDEA compliance at the subdomain level on diqitaldashboard.gov (DD). The subdomain
pilot went live on April 2022 which included 20 EPA subdomains on GSA's Digital Dashboard.
The subdomain DD pilot provides greater insight on the status of EPA's website compliance,
and the ability to prioritize improvements needed. In FY23, EPA will be adding 10+ public
subdomains to DD.

All of EPA's public web domains and subdomains on GSA's Digital Dashboard have achieved
full compliance with the Digital Analytics Program (DAP) using EPA Google Tag Manager.
WCSD will continue to monitor, track and assist programs as new subdomains are added to DD.

In FY23, WCSD will focus on improving 508 accessibility requirements for both its public and
intranet websites in partnership with the Office of Enterprise Information Programs (OEIP). Units
of measure to track progress are in the process of being developed.

Lastly, EPA will assess the utility of the Digital Dashboard to replace any existing quality or
compliance services managed internally to see if cost savings can be achieved through
leveraging the results of Dashboard services as an alternative.

Data Collection Methodology

The 2019 data was collected for this report by surveying all EPA domain owners across the
Agency. Each domain point of contact was asked to provide their best estimate of the degree to
which the web pages on their domain complied with the 21C IDEA and other federal web
management requirements.

Since 2020 EPA started collecting data using web analytics tools, digitaldashboard.gov, and
EPA's Web Governance Framework and on-site reviews. EPA used digitaldashboard.gov to
collect objective data for 2 out of the 8 requirements from the 21C IDEA. They include
accessibility and mobile-ready. Digitaldashboard.gov is a federal website managed by GSA that
provides information about Federal Websites' compliance with OMB directives and conformance
to best practices and industry standards. EPA used the U.S. Department and Homeland
Security (DHS) Cvbersecuritv and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) Report to collect the
secure connection data. The CISA Report is intended to assist Agencies to comply with the web
security aspects of Binding Operational Directive (BOD) 18-01. EPA's Web Governance
Framework was used for eliminating redundancy and on-site reviews for identifying consistency,
search, data driven design and customization. A summary of results can be found in Table 3:
Summary of the 21st Century IDEA Requirements - EPA Domains; Table 4: Summary of the
21st Century IDEA Requirements - EPA Subdomains. In FY22, EPA began using these tools
to measure compliance with the 21C IDEA requirements on EPA's subdomains as well.

Implementing Requirements

The section below explains how EPA complies with each of the 21C IDEA requirements.

Section 3(a)(1) Ensure Accessibility for Individuals with Disabilities

EPA is committed to the principle that people with disabilities should have comparable access to
accessible information and communication technology. EPA has tools and staff dedicated to
ensuring implementation of this requirement on www.epa.gov however additional tools and
resources are required to accurately measure and track remediation on all EPA domains and
subdomains. The programs and resources that support this requirement include:

•	Section 508 Program - EPA's Section 508 Program provides agencywide
coordination and oversight to ensure compliance with federal accessibility
requirements.

•	EPA Section 508 Compliance Assessment and Remediation Plan - EPA's
Section 508 Compliance Assessment and Remediation Plan assesses and
enhances the accessibility of EPA's existing Information and Communications
Technology, while also developing a baseline from which to measure improvements
and providing a framework for focusing EPA's Section 508 efforts moving forward.

•	Drupal WebCMS - EPA's agencywide, content management system has a section
508 compliance certification requirement before publishing to www.epa.gov.

•	Web Analytics Program - EPA's Web Analytics program supports the Agency's
508 goals by providing tools to help identify and recommend solutions regarding the
conformance of www.epa.gov webpages.

The results for accessibility were collected from Digital Dashboard (DD) and compliance was
determined by the total number of accessibility issues. Websites without any accessibility issues
were considered compliant. Websites with accessibility issues were considered non-compliant.
DD accessibility module scans for certain common accessibility issues such as color contrast
issues, HTML attribute issues and missing image description.

Section 3(a)(2) Ensure a Consistent Look and Feel Across Websites

All of EPA's public content pages or web applications are required to use the One EPA Web
look and feel which is based on the United States Web Design System: USWDS. The "look and
feel" enables each web page to be clearly identified on EPA's public access website as
belonging to EPA and ensures that each page has required navigational and other design
elements. The EPA has tools and staff dedicated to ensuring implementation of this requirement
on www.epa.gov.

The results for consistency were determined by an on-site review. All domains were manually
inspected. Numerous pages from each domain were spot checked, determining a consistent
look and feel. Domains with a consistent header and footer throughout all pages were
considered compliant. Domains without a consistent header and footer were considered non-
compliant.

Initiatives that support this requirement include:

• EPA Content Review and Approval Process - EPA's Office of Web Communications
reviews all new or redesigned web content before it is published. This review helps
ensure a consistent look and feel across EPA's websites.

9


-------
•	Procedure: Complying with EPA.gov "Look and Feel" - This procedure defines the
requirement to use a standard layout for EPA's public access webpages and Web
applications so that they are published with a consistent "Look and Feel." The steps for
requesting a waiver or exemption from using required specifications of the EPA "Look
and Feel" are also included in this procedure. The following types of pages are exempt
from the "Look and Feel" specifications and require registration, but do not need a
waiver: Partnership Sites, Kid Pages, Tracking Statistics, and Extranet Sites.

•	Web Standards: Look and Feel Template - This standard template provides the look
and feel for the top and bottom of each EPA webpage. The WebCMS produces this look
and feel automatically. All applications should use the standalone template.

•	Standalone Template for Applications - EPA maintains a Standalone One EPA Web

Template with the EPA Look and Feel which can be used for all data and content not in
the Drupal WebCMS. Content owners can wrap this template around application code,
to apply the EPA look and feel to their applications.

•	EPA Native and Hybrid Mobile App Look and Feel Guidance - Describes the look
and feel requirements for mobile hybrid and native mobile applications.

Section 3(a)(3) Eliminate Redundancy

Identifying and eliminating content that is redundant, outdated, or trivial (ROT) is an important
part of regular review. ROT interferes with search results and makes it harder for people to find
what they are looking for, erodes the credibility and authority of EPA web content, increases
costs for maintenance and data storage, and makes site management more time-consuming
and burdensome.

EPA's Web Governance provides a framework for reviewing and approving websites before
they are set up. The EPA has provided tools and resources to staff to ensure implementation of
this requirement and to prevent redundancy. EPA will remain focused on acquiring and
implementing Web Analytics tools to provide more detailed measurements of ROT.

Initiatives that support this requirement include:

•	EPA ROT Guidance - Domain owners and web content managers must follow this EPA
guidance which explains steps that content owners must take to review content and
remove redundant, outdated, and/or trivial information.

•	EPA Content Review and Approval Process - EPA's Office of Web Communications
reviews all new or redesigned web content before it is published. This review helps
prevent redundant content from being published.

Section 3(a)(4) Make Information Searchable and Discoverable

Search functions are important to improving the web visitor experience and for reaching users
who primarily rely on commercial search engines to find information.

Search compliance was determined by on-site reviews. Websites with search engines were
considered compliant and ones without it non-compliant.

Initiatives that support this requirement include:

10


-------
•	EPA Search Engine - EPA is currently using the Lucid Works Fusion Search Engine.
The Search interface is built into the standard template, so search appears on every
page. EPA's search collection is available to both EPA's search engine and external
search engines such as Google and Bing.

•	Guidance on Coding forms for Metadata Search - EPA provides content owners with
guidance on coding their content to include the proper metadata to improve
discoverability.

•	Reducing Search Exits - EPA uses web analytics data to identify the number of search
exits so we can take step to improve our search engine. Reductions in search exits
indicate that website visitors are finding the information they need using the search
engine.

•	Reducing Search Refinement - EPA uses web analytics data to identify the number of
search refinements to improve the agency's search engine. Reductions in search
refinements indicate that website visitors are finding the information they need with fewer
searches.

•	Best Bets - EPA reviews the Foresee survey results and Google Analytics data to find
popular search terms and manually updates the list of "Best Bets" to ensure that best
results show up first.

Section 3(a)(5) Use Secure Connections (HTTPS)

EPA takes steps to ensure that all offices within the Agency meet the minimum-security
requirements defined in the Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) Publication 200.
Existing sites on www.epa.gov have been transitioned to HTTPS and any new sites will be
HTTPS as well. The EPA has tools and staff dedicated to ensuring implementation of this
requirement on www.epa.gov.

The secure connections compliance was determined by using the U.S. Department and
Homeland Security (DHS) Cvbersecuritv and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) September
2022 Report. The websites secure connections compliance was measured by different metrics
such as: using and enforcing HTTPS; using strong HSTS; free of: Secure Socket Layer version
2.0 (SSLv2), Secure Socket Layer version 3.0 (SSLv3), Triple Data Encryption Algorithm
(3DES), and Rivest Cipher 4 (RC4). Websites that satisfied these metrics above were
considered compliant.

Initiatives that support this requirement include:

•	DHS CISA Report - This report measures the presence and enforcement of HTTPS for
Environmental Protection Agency's publicly accessible domains and subdomains.

•	Information Security Program - EPA's Information Security Program oversees and
coordinates implementation of policies, procedures, standards and guidance to ensure
that EPA's websites meet minimum federal website security management requirements.

•	EPA's Information Security Policy - This policy establishes a security policy for EPA's
national data communications network.

•	Procedure: Obtaining an EPA.gov Subdomain - EPA's procedure for registering new
subdomains helps ensure that all new sites comply with the HTTPS requirement.

11


-------
Section 3(a)(6) Data Driven Design

EPA is dedicated to using quantitative and qualitative data to drive improvements to our
website.

The data driven design compliance was determined by on-site reviews. Websites with the
Agency's Google Tag Manager Code were considered DAP compliant and websites without it
were considered non-DAP compliant.

Initiatives that support this requirement include:

•	Digital Dashboard Report for DAP - Google Analytics reports EPA web stats to the
GSA Digital Analytics Program (DAP).

•	Procedure: Google Analytics (GA) Event Tracking - EPA has a procedure that requires
google analytics code on all public web content so we can provide usable data to DAP.

•	Web Analytics - EPA also uses Google Analytics for web traffic and the foresee survey
for user feedback. Both tools are on the list of GSA-approved tools, so they comply with
the OMB requirements and are approved for federal use.

•	Web Analytics Training - EPA offers a variety of courses on web management best
practices and using web analytics data to drive website improvements.

Section 3(a)(7) Customization

EPA's Central Data Exchange (CDX) is the only domain that provides a more customized digital
experience by allowing users to login and complete digital transactions in an efficient and
accurate manner.

The customization compliance was determined by on-site reviews. Websites with a login screen
were considered compliant and the ones without it non-compliant.

Section 3(a)(8) Provide Access to Government Information on Multiple
Devices; Mobile-Ready

Mobile sites and applications can provide increased visibility to the Agency's mission, while also
helping us provide value to our external stakeholders.

The mobile-ready results were collected from digitaldashboard.gov September 2022 report. The
results were based on a usability status (i.e., mobile friendly, not mobile friendly). Mobile friendly
websites were considered compliant and not mobile friendly non-compliant.

•	Mobile Application Development Strategy - EPA's Mobile Application Development
Strategy provides guidance on mobile app development and outlines the various
development options including Mobile Web App Development, Hybrid App Development,
and Native Mobile App Development.

•	Web Standards: Look and Feel Template - EPA's standard template provides a
responsive design so that EPA web content can be displayed on a variety of devices and
window or screen sizes.

12


-------
• EPA Native and Hybrid Mobile App Look and Feel Guidance - Describes the look
and feel requirements for mobile hybrid and native mobile applications.

Cost Estimation Methodology

The numbers of hours estimated to bring websites into compliance were projected based on
best estimates from the domain owners. The dollar estimates were calculated based on an
assumption of an average of $157 per hour contracting rate. As EPA moves forward with
website modernization, the Agency will refine these estimates.

Table 5: Domains Estimated Costs and Schedules

From Table 1, EPA has prioritized the following websites and digital services. The table below
includes an estimated cost of modernization to comply with the requirements in section 3(a) of
the 21st Century IDEA, as well as other federal web management requirements (such as:
Privacy, Quality, Records Management, Plain Language, Multilingual Content, Mandatory
