Specifically, the GPRA Modernization Act requires agencies to develop: Strategic Plans, which include a mission statement, set out long-term goals, objectives, and strategic measures, and describe strategies to achieve them over a four-year time horizon; two-year Agency Priority Goals to advance progress toward the highest priorities; Annual Performance Plans, which provide annual performance measures and activities toward the long-term Strategic Plan; and, Annual Performance Reports, which evaluate an agency’s success in achieving the annual performance measures. The Strategic Plan reflects the Administrator’s priorities for advancing the Agency’s mission to protect human health and the environment by setting three strategic goals: • Core Mission: Deliver real results to provide Americans with clean air, land, and water. • Cooperative Federalism: Rebalance the power between Washington and the states to create tangible environmental results for the American people. • Rule of Law and Process: Administer the law, as Congress intended, to refocus the Agency on its statutory obligations under the law. This Strategic Plan includes objectives and strategies for achieving the strategic goals, and establishes strategic measures and FY 2018–2019 Agency Priority Goals by which EPA will hold itself accountable to monitor progress in improving significantly the way EPA does business and environmental benefits, engaging closely with public sector partners at all levels and the regulated community.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    The GPRA Modernization Act of 2010 (Pub. L. 111-352), holds federal 
agencies accountable for using resources wisely and achieving program 
results. Specifically, the GPRA Modernization Act requires agencies to 
develop: Strategic Plans, which include a mission statement, set out 
long-term goals, objectives, and strategic measures, and describe 
strategies to achieve them over a four-year time horizon; two-year 
Agency Priority Goals to advance progress toward the highest 
priorities; Annual Performance Plans, which provide annual performance 
measures and activities toward the long-term Strategic Plan; and, 
Annual Performance Reports, which evaluate an agency's success in 
achieving the annual performance measures.
    The Strategic Plan reflects the Administrator's priorities for 
advancing the Agency's mission to protect human health and the 
environment by setting three strategic goals:
     Core Mission: Deliver real results to provide Americans 
with clean air, land, and water.
     Cooperative Federalism: Rebalance the power between 
Washington and the states to create tangible environmental results for 
the American people.
     Rule of Law and Process: Administer the law, as Congress 
intended, to refocus the Agency on its statutory obligations under the 
law.
    This Strategic Plan includes objectives and strategies for 
achieving the strategic goals, and establishes strategic measures and 
FY 2018-2019 Agency Priority Goals by which EPA will hold itself 
accountable to monitor progress in improving significantly the way EPA 
does business and environmental benefits, engaging closely with public 
sector partners at all levels and the regulated community.

    Dated: September 19, 2017.
