Webinars on Drinking Water Data Management

July 16, 2019

Next week, the Association of State Drinking Water Administrators (ASDWA) is holding live webcasts of eight of the sessions from the 2019 ASDWA/EPA Data Management Users Conference in Atlanta, GA. Participants should register for each of their desired sessions individually and before the start of the broadcast, although early registration before COB this Friday, July 19th is preferred. If the registration links in any of the session titles don’t work, please try pasting the URL into your browser. Please contact Anthony DeRosa of ASDWA with questions

By registering as a remote attendee, you agree to “skate at your own risk,” as ASDWA staff may be unable to provide any level of technical support during the sessions. Due to unknown technical factors [i.e., hotel internet crashes, equipment failures, etc.], ASDWA cannot guarantee that we’ll be successful in broadcasting every scheduled session. In the event we need to cancel a broadcast, we will try to contact all registrants to inform them. Naturally, we’ll do our best to provide a quality experience for the entire Conference and thank you ahead of time for your understanding.

Expertise Needed for the Federated Identity Management Governance Group

April 4, 2019

E-Enterprise Federated Identity Management co-chairs Mary Montoya of the New Mexico Environment Department and Chuck Freeman of U.S. EPA are currently soliciting partners to join a new E-Enterprise governance group focused on identity management. The Federated Identity Management Governance Group is open to state, tribal and U.S. EPA officials (more information on qualifications below).

 The group will focus on the development and maintenance of a set of standards, terms of use, levels of assurance, service levels, and security polices to reinforce trust among partners using the E-Enterprise Federated Identity Management system. Topics for governance consideration will be identified and prioritized to facilitate adoption of this technology by E-Enterprise Partners. Topics will be sized appropriately to ensure resolution in no longer than a two-month period. Resolution will rely on input and recommendations from working groups with expert knowledge on the topic under consideration such as the Shared CROMERR Services working group, or the Portal team. The governance group will present the results of the work on a quarterly basis to the Interoperability and Operations Team (IOT).

 Potential members will possess the following qualifications:

  • Available to contribute to biweekly meetings initially.
  • Have a firm understanding of federated identity management concepts: “A network of enterprises (partners) allow users to choose from a set of Identity Providers for authentication that provides access to a set of trusted web resources (Relying Parties). Relying Parties are responsible for authorizing user roles to perform functions within the web resource.”
  • Have a firm understanding of existing federated identity management models currently used such as: OpenID Connect, OpenID, OAuth, OASIS SAML, Windows Identity Framework.  Active Directory experience alone is not adequate.
  • Business Analysts, IT Managers, IT Application Architects or IT Security Policy Administrators with direct experience in identity management use cases at the browser tier, as well as at the cross-domain application to application tier.

 If you are interested in joining the group or have questions, please contact Kristen Durance (kdurance@rossstrategic.com ) and she will be sure to connect you to the appropriate team lead.

EPA Publishes Final FY2019 Exchange Network Grant Solicitation Notice

April 4, 2019

The FY 2019 National Environmental Information Exchange Network Grant Program Solicitation Notice is now available at https://www.epa.gov/exchangenetwork/fiscal-year-2019-national-environmental-information-exchange-network-grant. Applications are due to EPA by 11:59 PM Eastern Time, April 1, 2019. Information on stakeholder webinars will be provided shortly.

The primary outcome expected from Exchange Network (EN) assistance agreements is improved access to, and exchange of, high-quality environmental data from public and private sector sources. With this outcome in mind, applications should demonstrate support for and results toward EN program priorities.

In FY 2019, EPA expects to award over $7 million for 20-30 assistance agreements for EN projects. Most awards will be in the $50,000 to $300,000 range. Awards for an individual assistance agreement cannot exceed $200,000. EPA may make a limited number of awards to collaborative, partnership assistance agreements. Budgets for these projects cannot exceed $400,000. The exact number of assistance agreements will depend on the final amount of EPA’s appropriation for the EN grant program, the number of applications submitted to EPA by the application deadline, the amounts of proposed budgets, and the outcome of application reviews.

EPA only accepts project proposals for EN assistance agreements submitted electronically through Grants.gov, unless applicants have a waiver. EPA anticipates that it will announce selection decisions in or around August 2019, and tentatively plans to issue awards by September 30, 2019.

You're Invited to Join the E-Enterprise Community Inventory Platform

June 22, 2018

Are you trying to find other States/Tribes that may have already encountered a problem you are having and may have some advice? Are you working on a project that might be of interest to others? In either case, the E-Enterprise Community Inventory Platform (EECIP) is a tool you should check out.

The EECIP is an online community and living project database for State, Tribal and local environmental agencies across the US. The platform currently contains 2,000 projects and enterprise services from more than 40 states and tribes, spanning a broad range of topics including IT, process improvement, advanced monitoring, and Exchange Network grant project information.

EECIP users can:

  • View partner agencies’ projects, enterprise services and other information.
  • Find potential collaborators for Exchange Network Partnership and other grant programs.
  • Get ideas for shared services and find example RFPs, position descriptions, and other types of documents.
  • Build community by participating in discussion threads to get answers and connect with peers.
  • Customize content displays based on their interests.

If you have a .gov email address, registration is a breeze. Most tribal email extensions have also been added into the platform, and new ones are being added as we become aware of them. Just visit https://www.eecip.net. Users from all agencies are encouraged to review existing projects and add new information to the EECIP; the more this happens, the more valuable the tool becomes. Some planning activities for the October E-Enterprise 2018 national meeting will be conducted on the platform, and prizes will be awarded at the meeting to the most active EECIP participants!

If you have any questions or need technical help, please email Owen McAleer at omcaleer (at) ecos.org, 202-266-4920, or use the support email, support (at) eecip.net.

The Program Committee plays a critical role in shaping the meeting’s content and creating a program that is responsive to the needs of the E-Enterprise and Exchange Network community. Committee members will:

  • Review and grade EE2018 presentation proposals;
  • Provide focused input on the development of the meeting program; and
  • Coordinate speakers and moderate one or more sessions at EE2018.

To volunteer, please complete the EE2018 Program Committee Volunteer Form before Friday, May 4, 2018. The meeting chairs will review submissions and notify volunteers before the end of May 2018.

What time commitment can I expect?
You should expect to spend time during the first two weeks of June reviewing and grading presentation proposals. The exact number will depend on the number of submissions received. You can also expect to attend between 4-6 highly focused, 1-2 hour conference calls between June and October. As the meeting draws near, Committee members will connect with speakers to coordinate the development of presentation materials and logistics.  
 
I’d like to help, but my schedule is already pretty jam packed.
Fear not! As a member of the EE2018 Program Committee, you’ll be well supported by a staff that understands that your time is precious. Our calls will be focused and no longer than they need to be. Staff will also be available to help you engage and coordinate with your speakers.
 
You’ve piqued my interest, but I don’t have much experience with E-Enterprise or the Exchange Network.
Perfect! EE2018 is an excellent opportunity to grow the E-Enterprise and Exchange Network community. Volunteers with diverse perspectives and levels of experience will help the Program Committee build a meeting that is broadly useful and valuable to the meeting attendees.
 
Reminder: Call for Meeting Content Now Open!
Don’t forget that the EE2018 Call for Meeting Content is also open through May 25th. To learn how to submit a presentation proposal or suggest a topic, view our submission guidelines.  

More information on EE2018 
EE2018 continues the longstanding series of national meetings held by the National Environmental Information Exchange Network. We’ve changed the name of the meeting to better reflect the deep connection between E-Enterprise and the Exchange Network, but you can still expect an engaging program that showcases modern approaches to environmental management.

EE2018 brings together a broad community of attendees from state, tribal, and local environmental agencies, U.S. EPA, vendors, and other stakeholders with an interest in improving the productivity and responsiveness of the environmental protection enterprise. The meeting integrates content on information technology, process improvement, and program modernization.

EE2018 Call for Meeting Content is Now Open!

April 5, 2018

The call for content is now open for the E-Enterprise National Meeting (EE2018)!

 The EE2018 Program Committee is seeking content for the meeting that aligns with the following topics of interest:

  • Advances in data access and data management
  • Innovative Exchange Network data flows and projects
  • Enhancing productivity through digital transformation and online services
  • Driving efficiency through shared services
  • Business process improvement and program modernization

EE2018 is an opportunity to connect with other members of the E-Enterprise and Exchange Network community, share your successes and challenges, and learn about best practices in environmental regulation. We need your help to craft a program that is engaging, informative, and relevant to the important work you do. Please consider suggesting content for EE2018 and sharing this call broadly with your colleagues.    

 Submission Guidelines

To contribute to the EE2018 call for content, please visit https://goo.gl/forms/Smw75TV9urHUd14S2. You may contribute in one of two ways:

  1. Submit a proposal to lead a presentation, workshop, or training session
  2. Suggest a topic for the Program Committee to consider including in the program. This may be a presentation, discussion, or training that you would like to attend, but not necessarily lead.

Please be clear and concise in describing your proposal and include information about any anticipated benefits for meeting attendees. The call for content will remain open through May 25, 2018.

 Anyone may submit a proposal or suggestion; however, the Program Committee strongly encourages presentations and sessions that are primarily driven by representatives of state, tribal, federal, and local governments.  

 The EE2018 Program Committee expects to notify submitters of the status of their proposals by June 22, 2018. Notifications will be sent via email.

 Should you have questions regarding the call for content or need assistance with your submission, please contact Kurt Rakouskas at krakouskas [at] ecos.org.

April 11, 2018 Webinar: Register EN Grant Products in the Reusable Component Services (RCS)

April 5, 2018

Have you received an EN Grant since 2011 and completed all the work? EPA is hosting a webinar on April 11 to help EN grantees meet their responsibility of registering IT resources developed from EN Grant projects in RCS—EPA’s catalog of reusable IT tools/resources/services. To ensure resources developed from EN Grants can benefit EN partners widely across the Network, registration of new IT resources developed from EN Grants has been a term and condition of EN Grant awards since 2011.

Reusability is a key premise for achieving the streamlining and efficiency goals of the EN and E-Enterprise (EE) partnerships, and the reason the RCS-related terms and conditions were developed. The 2018 EN Grant Solicitation Notice advises grant applicants that their past performance on previously received grants, impacts the scoring of their FY 2018 grant proposals[1]. EPA encourages your organization to take this opportunity to register in RCS, any tools, IT resources, services, and/or data flows created by EN grant(s) received since 2011.
