**EPA Quarterly Management Report**

**October through December 2007**

What is the Quarterly Management Report?

This report shows the US Environmental Protection Agency\'s progress on
selected priorities. It is intended to elicit questions that lead to
ideas about how the Agency can better execute our responsibilities under
the law and do a better job of protecting human health and the
environment. In many cases, measures may be affected by factors outside
the Agency\'s control. Success often relies on working closely with our
partners: states, territories and tribes.\
\
This report is not comprehensive and is only one of many budget,
performance, and financial tools used by the Agency for management
purposes. It does not include all of the Agency\'s priorities. The
report is a balance of national and regional information. Because it is
updated quarterly, most measures are outputs, not outcomes. However, all
the measures are linked to objectives in the Agency\'s Strategic Plan.
Performing well on these measures is assumed to lead to improved public
health and environmental protection.
