Please let me know if you have comments or corrections. Thank you! Andrea Barbery Office of Intergovernmental Relations U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 202-564-1397 Notes from 5/2/17 P&P Co-Chairs Call Executive actions to streamline permitting A January 24th Presidential Memo on Reducing Regulatory Burdens for Domestic Manufacturing directs the Secretary of Commerce to coordinate with other federal agencies including EPA to "conduct outreach to stakeholders concerning the impact of Federal regulations on domestic manufacturing and shall solicit comments from the public...concerning Federal actions to streamline permitting and reduce regulatory burdens for domestic manufacturers." Nena Shaw (EPA Office of Policy) shared how EPA is responding to the memo, including by emphasizing states' crucial role in permitting and in regulatory programs overall. EPA is highlighting and recommending increased emphasis on key streamlining and performance improvement efforts such as the Agency's Lean work and the joint ECOS-EPA Lean Action Board efforts for this and related executive actions reforming regulations and their connected government business processes. EPA is providing the Dept, of Commerce information for its report, which will contain recommended tasks for federal agencies including EPA. Nena noted four Lean Action Board transference projects that would be highlighted as actions already underway. ECOS Spring Meeting follow up Pat Stevens (Wl DNR) reported out from the side-meeting of the Planning Committee during the ECOS 2017 Spring Meeting. The conversation focused interactions between states and EPA, with interest in increasing states' flexibilities. Bill Ehm (IA DNR) reported out on the closed session, during which states provided feedback to EPA on how the agency can take a cooperative federalism approach in superfund, brownfields, air quality, and infrastructure programs. The Planning Committee discussed four resolutions, which will be taken up again at the Fall Meeting. Regional (+WI) visits Ken Wagner (EPA Office of the Administrator) gave an update on his visits to EPA Regions, and, when possible, to state environmental agencies. He is learning about EPA's Regional offices, how the Regions vary in issues and organization, how they work with states, and where there are areas for improvement. Ken also paid a visit to Wl DNR, during which senior leaders briefed him on the agency's organization, and specific policy issues. DNR appreciated the opportunity to talk with the administration about the issues most significant to Wisconsin. One idea that was generated was making EPA expertise available for states' legislative and rulemaking processes. Budget update Joe Layman (EPA - OCFO/Office of Budget) announced the federal government is under a continuing resolution through Friday, May 5. Congress reached a deal to fund the government through the remainder of FY 2017. Please remember Sierra Club v. EPA 18cv3472 NDCA Tier 10 ED 002061 00034754-00003 nothing is final until it is signed into law, but you can see the proposed Omnibus here (EPA starts on page 824): https://ruies.house.gov/sites/republicans.rules.house.gov/files/ll5/Oiv1Ni/CPRT-ll5-HPRT-RUOO-SAHR244-Aiv1NT.pdf NPM Guidance/NEPPS Workgroup (Kathy O'Brien, Mike Osinski) Kathy O'Brien (EPA - OCFO/Office of Planning, Analysis, and Accountability) shared with the group plans to set the next call of the NPM Guidance/NEPPS Workgroup for May 9. The purpose of the call will be to catch up on activities to date and set plans for moving forward with the NPM Guidances. The group discussed the need for the NPM Guidance/NEPPS Workgroup steering committee, which was established for the purpose of getting the annual NPM Guidances on a 2year cycle. As that shift has occurred, it is unclear what such a high-level group would seek to accomplish. Mike Osinski (EPA - Office of Intergovernmental Relations) talked about the GAO Performance Partnerships report, which looked at two programs: EPA's PPGs and a multi-agency pilot program for disconnected youth. Four states were interviewed as part of GAO's investigation, including Alabama, California, New York, and Utah. GAO's report reflected positively, overall, on EPA's PPG program, with recommendations to OMB on the disconnected youth program. Andrea Barbery (EPA - Office of Intergovernmental Relations) said EPA's FY17 Management Challenges report is out; again for FY17, OIG identified oversight of state-delegated programs as one of its primary management challenges. The report noted the 2016 Principles & Best Practices for Oversight of State Permitting Programs as a step towards improving its state oversight practices, but recommends the agency take additional steps to justify removal from the list of management challenges. ECOS noted the report called out specific issues; the group agreed this seemed to be a catch-all where the IG can refer to specific incidents (e.g. Flint) on a year-to-year basis to illustrate the need for improvement in this area. Pew Charitable Trusts report Beth Graves (ECOS) announced an effort by Pew Charitable Trusts to write a report on state efforts around Business Process Improvement wrt state regulations. The lead researcher heard Director Cabrera's keynote at the ECOS Spring Meeting and followed up w/ECOS to follow up with individual states for interviews. State Grants Subgroup Julie Milazzo (EPA - Office of Grants & Debarment) reported out on 4/27 call. Topics included: an update on the continuing resolution, contingency planning for a potential government shutdown, follow up from GAO's report on Improving Monitoring Practices (included discussion of Environmental Results), a quick turn-around Information Collection Request effort, an update on OGD's activities to meet 2017 goals associated with the Grants Management Plan, an update on the timely award metric, discussion of superfund cooperative agreements, and a status update on the online PPG course under development. Next call: Tuesday, June 6 Sierra Club v. EPA 18cv3472 NDCA Tier 10 ED 002061 00034754-00004
