Abstract:
The State Review Framework (``Framework'') is an oversight tool designed to assess state performance in enforcement and compliance assurance. The goal is to evaluate state performance by examining existing data to provide a consistent level of oversight and develop a uniform mechanism by which EPA Regions, working collaboratively with their states, can ensure that state environmental agencies are consistently implementing the national compliance and enforcement program in order to meet agreed-upon goals. Furthermore, the Framework is designed to foster dialogue on enforcement and compliance performance between the states to enhance relationships and increase feedback, which will lead to consistent program management and improved environmental results. The Framework provides a protocol for managing the process that includes: 1) Pre-review and offsite review; 2) onsite review; 3) drafting of the report; and 4) composing the final report and follow-up. The emphasis of the on-site visit emphasizes is the collection of information, by EPA, from state enforcement and compliance files. No new data is required to be created in these files. The reviews will ensure consistency with national standards in terms of documentation and performance. The Framework examines existing data in three core programs: Clean Air Act (''CAA'')/Stationary Sources, Clean Water Act (''CWA'')/National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (''NPDES''), and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (''RCRA'')/Subtitle C.
