SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
EPA has initially identified the
following sectors to work with:
Aerospace; agriculture; automotive;
cement and concrete; chemical
manufacturing; construction; electronics
and technology; iron and steel; oil and
gas; ports and shipping; and utilities
and power generation. Sectors were
selected based on each sector’s potential
to improve the environment and public
health. EPA welcomes participation
from other stakeholders.
The Smart Sectors program will
designate staff-level points of contact
who are highly knowledgeable about
specific industries. These individuals
will act as liaisons among industry trade
associations and companies, EPA
program and regional offices, state and
local governments, and other
stakeholder groups. The sector liaisons
will focus their attention primarily on
three main areas: Building relationships
and improving customer service to
sectors; developing additional expertise
in each industry’s operations and
environmental performance; and
informing the planning of future
policies, regulations, and Agency
processes.
EPA anticipates that participating
industries will benefit from coordinated,
cooperative, and constructive problemsolving with government. The Agency
will invite participating industries to
engage in active dialogue and offer their
own innovative ideas to reduce
environmental impacts. Because
industry-wide environmental
performance improvement is the goal,
EPA will work with trade associations
and others to find creative ways to
document environmental progress and
burden reductions.
