EPA Publishes Final FY 2018 Exchange Network Grant Solicitation Notice

October 16, 2017

The FY 2018 National Environmental Information Exchange Network Grant Program Solicitation Notice is now available at https://www.epa.gov/exchangenetwork/exchange-network-grant-program.  Applications are due to EPA by January 26, 2018.

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 2018, EPA expects to award about $6 million for 20-25 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 June 2018, and tentatively plans to issue awards by July 31, 2018.

EPA Releases Assessment, TMDL Tracking And ImplementatioN System – ATTAINS v1.0

September 25, 2017

The Assessment, TMDL Tracking And ImplementatioN System (ATTAINS) data exchange allows ENPartners to submit 303(d)/305(b) water quality data, Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) information, and support program goals aligned with both submissions processes.
 
A goal of the ATTAINS data exchange is to move the Integrated Reporting process to a paperless process using Exchange Network technology. The ATTAINS data flow allows for the two-way exchange of data between EPA and EN Partners, including States, Tribes and Territories. It also allows for the publishing of IR data via web services that support the integrated vision of the Water Quality Framework.
 
The ATTAINS system replaces the existing Assessment Database (ADB), the National TMDL Tracking System (NTTS). ATTAINS also replaces the Clean Water Act Integrated Reporting, Water Quality Assessment, Impaired Waters -OWIR data exchange. ATTAINS supports node and node client data exchanges, cloud-based data entry. EN Partners currently using the OWIR-ATT data should plan to transition to the ATTAINS data flow. The legacy OWIR-ATT data flow will be discontinued in 2018.
 
The new resources can be found here.

Open Call: Update on CROMERR Shared Services - August 16 at 2 p.m. Eastern

July 28, 2017

EPA’s Office of Environmental Information will be conducting an open call on its Shared Cross-Media Electronic Reporting Rule (CROMERR) Services (SCS). This is a follow up to the webinar held in May. Over the past couple of years, EPA has been assisting co-regulators in implementing electronic reporting programs by developing and managing CROMERR compliant services centrally and offering these services to co-regulators as needed to reduce time and money from developing and maintaining these services independently. 
 
This open call will be held on August 16 at 2 p.m. Eastern time. EPA will present the latest enhancements and alternatives available to co-regulators and discuss the processes, roles and resource requirements for integrating and managing SCS. Existing SCS implementers and those planning to implement new electronic reporting programs in their agencies may be interested in attending.

Open Call: ePermitting ROI Calculator

June 27, 2017

 
There was an Open Call on Tuesday, June 27, on an ePermitting ROI calculator that is under development. As an E-Enterprise project, states and EPA have partnered to study how states are digitizing their permitting systems and how to accelerate their use. To assist states in evaluating the impact of potential investments in ePermitting, this state/EPA workgroup developed a Return on Investment calculator that allows states to see the amount of economic activity that could be happening if approval times were reduced through ePermitting efforts or other process streamlining. Additional metrics provide monetized estimates of the beneficial impacts of increasing certainty in permit reviews, and the efficiency gains from instant access to information available online. Users can tailor cost factors unique to their state or use the default settings provided and generate a one-page summary report of the estimated impact of economic activity that could be realized with process streamlining. 
 
 
Resources are available here: 
  • ePermitting ROI Metrics Calculator
  • Slide presentation
  • June 27 Open Call recording
 
 
For more information, please contact David Nicholas at [email protected] or Bob Zimmerman at [email protected].

NPDES eRule Readiness and Data Completeness Dashboard Launched on ECHO Gov

December 5, 2016

The “NPDES eRule Readiness and Data Completeness Dashboard” provides EPA and States with easy access to information on each State’s readiness to implement NPDES electronic reporting. The dashboard is updated weekly with the latest information in EPA’s NPDES data system (ICIS-NPDES). The dashboard uses four evaluation categories (defined in the help documentation) so that States can focus their attention on areas needed for implementing the NPDES Electronic Reporting rule (40 CFR 127). EPA plans to use this dashboard to assess the electronic reporting participation rates for DMR filers in June 2017 [see 40 CFR 127.26(j)]. Preliminary versions of the Dashboard were reviewed by EPA compliance staff and managers as well as State and Regional representatives. Comments from these reviewers were incorporated into the dashboard. EPA will host a webinar for EPA Regional and state staff on December 14th to provide an overview of the dashboard and answer questions.

The dashboard is currently restricted to ECHO Gov to allow EPA and states time to review their data in ICIS-NPDES to ensure that it is timely, accurate, complete, and consistent. EPA plans to make this dashboard available to the public in July 2017 after its assessment of the electronic reporting participation rates for DMR filers. This will help provide transparency on NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule implementation. 
 
EPA and state staff will need to provide their username and password for access to the new dashboard (see the “ECHO Gov Login” link). The link to the new dashboard is in the “Oversight” section in ECHO Gov.
 
The dashboard provides a series of linked and interactive graphs and it allows users to easily sort through the data with drill downs and filters (e.g., Permit Issuing Agency, Major/Minor status). Dashboard users can also download the entire dataset as an Excel spreadsheet by selecting the “Download All Data” link which appears above the dashboard. EPA plans to allow personalized downloads based on selected filters in the near future. EPA or state staff should correct any data errors they identify in ICIS-NPDES. These data error corrections will be reflected in the next weekly refresh of the dashboard. If dashboard users see any errors with how the dashboard works, rather than the underlying data, they should contact Jesse Yourish at yourish.jesse [at] epa.gov. 
 
To better understand the dashboard and how it can be used, please see the help documentation and attend the December 14th webinar for more information.
