EPA Scores an A+ on 2007 Congressional FISMA Report Card!
Congratulations EPA! OEI is proud to announce that EPA scored an A+ on the just-released 2007 Congressional Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) Report Card. This committee developed these scores to help Congress gauge a federal agency’s information security progress. This year’s score is up from an A- last year. EPA’s continued success story is the result of strong Agency-wide senior management support and hard work by the Agency’s information security community. We are particularly delighted that all of EPA’s current Information System Security Line of Business customers (other agencies that use EPA’s ASSERT tool) received a B- or higher. Our customer’s success further strengthens EPA as a leader in the world of Federal information security.
National Dialogue on Access to Environmental Information. EPA wants to know what environmental information you need and how you want to get it so we are conducting an on-line dialogue. Everyone is welcome to participate in EPA's National Dialogue on Access to Environmental Information by submitting on-line comments or sending an email. Your comments will help us to develop a strategy to improve access to environmental information.
