EPA's 2003 Federal Activities
Inventory Reform (FAIR) Act Inventory
The inventory represents a comprehensive report of all EPA commercial
and inherently governmental activities and the FTEs performing
them. In putting together the inventory, the nature of each function,
the degree of discretion exercised by individuals performing the
function, the sensitivity and confidentiality of the information
required to perform the function were considered. As a regulatory
Agency, the need to maintain appropriate in-house expertise and
staffing capabilities to effectively apply and enforce the nation's
environmental laws in fulfilling the Agency's mission were also
taken into account.
