Consistent with the 1984 EPA Indian Policy and the Administrator's 1994 Tribal Operations Action Memorandum, Region 5 established the R5TOC in 1994 to serve as the regional counterpart to the National Tribal Operations Committee (NTOC). The R5TOC is a partnership between federally-recognized tribes in EPA Region 5 and the Region 5 office. This partnership:

Identifies tribal capacity needs and develops recommendations to address deficiencies
Facilitates implementation of environmental protection programs in Indian country
Reviews and comments on regional environmental strategies
Reaches agreement on policy issues of mutual interest
Coordinates activities with the NTOC
Facilitates compliance with the 1984 EPA Indian Policy
