Program Reviews

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has delegated a large share of its authority to the states. After delegation, the EPA maintains responsibility for delegated programs and continues to be accountable for progress toward meeting national goals and ensuring that Federal statutes are fulfilled.

To ensure that delegated programs are being adequately implemented by its state partners, EPA Region 7 routinely conducts Program Reviews of all or part of a state's delegated programs. The 1984 "EPA Policy on Oversight of Delegated Environmental Programs" provides the foundation for structuring a Program Review. Region 7 has further developed its own protocol which provides the justification and framework for conducting Program Reviews in the Air, RCRA, and Toxics Division.

It is Region 7's goal to conduct a Program Review of each state's (Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska) air program once every four years. The review evaluates the planning, permitting, compliance and enforcement, asbestos, and monitoring programs of the state air agency.
