The E-Enterprise Facility Team is seeking State, Territorial, Tribal, local, and EPA participants as it begins Phase II of its work.
Based on the finding from Phase I, the Team is seeking to bridge disparate sources of facility data and develop a more comprehensive approach to allow regulated facilities to streamline data collection and reporting requirements and to assemble more quickly the multi-media environmental data they need for consolidated reports, permits, and inspections; provide the public a more complete understanding of all the regulatory obligations and environmental impacts at each facility across media programs; help programs and agencies manage their responsibilities more efficiently; and increase data accuracy.
In Phase II, the Team will pursue its central goal of providing State, Territorial, Tribal, local, and EPA input into an approach for how these Partners may share facility identifiers, correct facility data as it is being reported, and facilitate many of the features envisioned by E-Enterprise. Specifically, Team members are being sought to support the following Workstreams:
- User Story Workstream – This Sub-team will develop user stories based on experiences of States, Territories, Tribes, locals, industry, EPA, and the public that document and corroborate the necessity of a shared facility approach.
- Business Rules Workstream – This Sub-team will develop and refine high-level shared business rules at the partnership level.
- Facility Profile Model/API (Application Program Interface) Workstream – This Sub-team will utilize the user stories to scope an API set, business rules, and a minimal E-Enterprise shared facility profile model required to support this API.
- CAER (Combined Air Emissions Reporting)/SLEIS (State and Local Emissions Inventory System) Pilot – This joint Pilot between the Facility and CAER Teams will build on the analysis conducted by the CAER Team, the work on the new Facility Registry Service (FRS) data model, as well as ongoing work and opportunities at EPA and States. South Carolina has been identified as the pilot state.
- SLT (State/Local/Tribe) Pilot: EPA Adoption of State MDM (Master Data Management) – This Sub-team will seek to demonstrate the concept that SLTs with a product-agnostic MDM approach – that also satisfies the business rules and an independent approach to shared facility management – would be acknowledged as the authoritative source for those linkages. For this Pilot, the Team is seeking expressions of interest from SLTs with current MDM in place.
- SLT Pilot: Bootstrap State MDM – This Sub-team will seek to demonstrate the concept that an SLT that does not currently perform facility MDM can take advantage of shared investment in E-Enterprise facility services in order to provide facility lookup and MDM. For this Pilot, the Team is seeking expressions of interest from SLTs who do not have MDM.
