Consideration #4

• The most defensible Programs are:– consistent w/Administration & Agency

priorities and themes– consistent with Office priorities– supported by stakeholders– strategic– effective (gets results)– efficient

10

Good News

Some Administration priorities: • Economy, Business, Jobs• Deregulation

•P2 directly supports Administration Priorities• supports American business (particularly small and

medium size) – helps address waste, efficiency and saves $

• Non-regulatory

•P2 gets results

11

And…..?????

• Supports Office priorities?–Opportunity: TSCA 21?

• Do we have stakeholder support?• Would we be viewed as strategic,

efficient and effective?• Do we have a unique contribution

(not redundant)?• Other vulnerabilities?

Goal: Promote economic growth and environmental protection by minimizing natural resource use, use of hazardous materials and generation of toxic waste. This results in globally competitive industry, a cleaner environment and healthier communities.

Presentation Notes

1: Facilitate and Fund P2 Innovations and ID and Development of BPs LEARN EPA grants/contracts to develop & deliver P2 technical assistance, info & tools, and ID barriers & solutions for P2 adoption. Work on the ground will often be at the RETAIL level. Measure Outputs - # of facility visits, # innovations or BPs, solutions to barriers 2: DOCUMENT innovations and BPs thru CASE STUDIES: DOCUMENT THE LEARNING TAPs and P2 Hub document P2 approaches, BPs, results & measures. – add in RFP and terms and conditions for grant. – Capture all recommendations after facility visit and contact a year later to see what was implemented – if not implemented, why? Document outcome measures through innovations and BPs adopted. Measure Outputs # of case studies developed. 3: AMPLIFY Innovations and BPs: SHARE THE LEARNING EPA, TAPs, & P2 Hub actively amplify & make case studies easily accessible, conduct outreach, leverage partnerships Emphasis on WHOLESALE approaches. Measure Outputs - # of trainings, # webinars, # website hits, trained 10% of food manufacturers on latest BPs or P2 innovations… 4: REPLICATION of Innovations & BPs by others: OTHERS APPLY THE LEARNING P2 approaches and outcomes are replicated by others Follow-up to measure adoption of P2 approaches & outcomes (maybe based on surveys),
