I.C: Integration of Agency’s Current Mission, Goals and Priorities

Collect and share reliable, quality data to help us carry out the Agency’s mission

Other Information:

Today it is increasingly important that we collect and share reliable, quality data to help us carry out the Agency’s mission. Our strategic plan (www.epa.gov/ocfo/plan/plan.htm) guides us and defines our five mission goals and three cross-goal strategies: * Goal 1: Clean Air and Global Climate Change * Goal 2: Clean and Safe Water * Goal 3: Land Preservation and Restoration * Goal 4: Healthy Communities and Ecosystems * Goal 5: Compliance and Environmental Stewardship * Cross-Goal Strategy 1: Results and Accountability * Cross-Goal Strategy 2: Innovation and Collaboration * Cross-Goal Strategy 3: Best Available Science The cross-goal strategy of Innovation and Collaboration has contributed to a culture of openness as evidenced in our strategic plan update process. In the past year, Administrator Jackson worked with the senior policy team and listened to staff and stakeholder feedback to strengthen how we carry out our mission and incorporate relevant feedback into the formal revision of the Agency’s strategic plan (to be issued by September 30, 2010). The Open Government Plan will be used to inform our strategic plan, and will be updated to help ensure open government principles continue to support our ongoing mission and goals. The Administrator set seven priorities as part of this overall process, and these priorities have been factored into the new strategic plan and our Open Government Plan. Additional information on the priorities and a video message from Administrator Jackson can be found at (blog.epa.gov/administrator/2010/01/12/seven-priorities-for-epas-future/).
