National Program Manager (NPM) Guidance
NPM Guidance documents are issued annually by EPA’s five major program offices, as follows:
- Air & Radiation
- Water
- Solid Waste and Emergency Response
- Prevention, Pesticides and Toxic Substances
- Enforcement & Compliance Assurance
The NPM Guidance documents provide EPA’s 10 regional offices, the states and tribes with guidance on specific priorities and implementation strategies for the coming year. Additionally, the Office of Congressional and Intergovernmental Relations issues annual guidance for its Performance Partnerships. The Office of Policy, Economics, and Innovation issues annual guidance for its National Environmental Performance Track Program.
Regions, states and tribes are encouraged to review Guidance documents. Please send all comments to the appropriate National Program Manager by no later than March 31, 2008. A checklist with further relevant NPM Guidance milestones for regions is available here (PDF) and for states and tribes is available here (PDF). Coming Soon: OAR Final Guidance and all Response to Comments Documents.
