TRIBES AND THE EXCHANGE NETWORK
E-Enterprise for the Environment puts into practice cooperative federalism for environmental co-regulators. Working together, tribes, states, and environmental leaders at US EPA are using E-Enterprise to deliver better results, often with lower costs and less burden, for the benefit of the public, the regulated community and government agencies. It helps foster greater trust among these groups by improving data integrity and communication.
