While an API exists for all of the public data sources in Envirofacts, there is a need to develop dedicated APIs and Web services that combine specific data for the user. EPA is evaluating the creation of a dedicated API to support access to drinking water monitoring information from the Safe Drinking Water Information System (SDWIS) based on a high rate of access from external users in its current form. Regulations.gov is the federal-wide online public docket and comment system that provides public access to and the ability to comment on Federal agency rulemakings. An API is currently available that allows government and non government sites to more efficiently and accurately repackage and incorporate regulatory data and services from regulations.gov into their sites. This API is located at: http://www.regulations.gov/#!developers. The eRulemaking program has also created a “Write” API that would provide advocacy organizations the ability to feed mass comment submissions into the system, giving partner agencies the ability to accept bulk comments into eRulemaking’s repository more easily. This tool was created in March of 2013, but it requires individual agencies to implement. Some agencies are currently working toward integrating this ability with their current comment review processes, but none have made it available for their proposed rules as of May 23, 2013. select 2-1-2-scope both both both text 2-1-2-customer Public Public interest groups and organizations with members that are active in regulatory matters.

Many of the goals and objectives of the Strategy align and complement the direction EPA established to implement the Open Government Directive (OGD).

For other aspects of Digital Government where a milestone falls within the responsibilities of an established EPA organization or body, their existing governance structure will guide their efforts. text 4-2-link http://www.epa.gov/digitalstrategy/usepa-ds-governance.pdf Develop an enterprise-wide inventory of mobile devices and wireless service contracts 6 months 2012/11/23 select 5-2-status in-progress 5.2 Develop wireless and mobile inventory 6 months 2012/11/23 text 5-2-1-component Agency/HQ/Reg/Offices select 5-2-1-inventory-status in-progress 1 Implement performance and customer satisfaction measuring tools on all .gov websites 8 months 2013/1/22 select 8-2-status in-progress 8.2 Implement performance measurement tool 8 months 2013/1/22 select 8-2-1-tool yes textarea 8-2-1-implementation text 8-2-1-percent 88% web sites and >98% content text 8-2-1-url www.gsa.gov/digitalstrategy 8.2 Implement customer satisfaction tool 8 months 2013/1/22 textarea 8-2-2-implementation In order to preserve the integrity and effectiveness of EPA’s performance metrics, EPA has coordinated with GSA to implement a custom modification to EPA’s existing Google Analytics implementation.
