Federal Remediation Technologies
 Roundtable (FRTR)

FRTR works to build collaborations among federal agencies involved in hazardous waste site cleanup. Established in 1990, FRTR brings together top federal cleanup program managers and other remediation community representatives to:

• Share information and learn about technology-related efforts of mutual interest
• Discuss future directions of the national site remediation programs and their effect on the technology market
• Interact with similar state and private industry technology development programs
• Form partnerships to pursue subjects of mutual interest

FRTR member agencies include:

• Department of Defense
• Department of Energy
• Department of the Interior
• Environmental Protection Agency
• National Aeronautics and Space Administration

Since its inception, collaborative efforts among FRTR member agencies have led to technology development and demonstration partnerships with private developers, a more consistent and unified federal approach to technology evaluation and regulatory acceptance, and a variety of technology transfer tools and other information resources.
