Final Release of EPA’s Report on the 

Environment (ROE) 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) is announcing 

the availability of the final web-based, 

‘‘Report on the Environment (ROE)’’ 

(EPA/600/R–15/142). The ROE was 

prepared by the National Center for 

Environmental Assessment within 

EPA’s Office of Research and 

Development, working in collaboration 

with EPA Program and Regional offices. 

The ROE is a comprehensive source of 

scientific indicators that describe the 

status and trends in the nation’s 

environment and human health 

condition. The indicators help to 

answer important questions for EPA 

about the current status and historical 

trends in U.S. air, water, land, human 

health, and ecological condition at the 

national and regional levels. These 

indicators are based on data collected by 

EPA, other federal and state agencies, 

and non-governmental organizations 

and meet high standards for data 

quality, objectivity, and utility. The ROE 

reports status and trends; it does not 

analyze or diagnose the reasons for, and 

relationships between, trends in 

stressors and environmental and health 

outcomes. 

The final ROE can be accessed at the 

following Web site: http://www.epa.gov/ 

roe. 

DATES: EPA released the report publicly 

on July 20, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: The ROE is web-based and 

is available solely via the Internet at: 

http://www.epa.gov/roe. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

additional information concerning the 

ROE, contact Dr. Patricia Murphy, 

NCEA; telephone: 732–906–6830;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Information About the Project/

Document 

EPA’s Report on the Environment 

(ROE) is a comprehensive source of 

scientific indicators that describe the 

status and trends in the nation’s 

environment and human health 

condition. The indicators help to 

answer important questions for EPA 

about the current status and historical 

trends in U.S. air, water, land, human 

health, and ecological conditions at the 

national and, where possible, regional 

levels. These indicators are based on 

data collected by EPA, other federal and 

state agencies, and non-governmental 

organizations and meet high standards 

for data quality, objectivity, and utility. 

The ROE reports status and trends; it 

does not analyze or diagnose the reasons 

for, and relationships between, trends in 

stressors and environmental and health 

outcomes. 

Since its earliest release in 2003, the 

ROE has undergone periodic updates 

and restructurings. The latest version 

features several significant changes, the 

most notable being that the ROE is fully 

online, allowing it to be more 

interactive and accessible. Users can 

customize graphics and pan and zoom 

on maps. For certain indicators, users 

can now choose to view statistical 

information about the data by simply 

clicking display options. Additionally, 

new indicators fill information gaps, 

which previously lacked reliable, longterm data. The draft ROE 2014 was 

released in March 2014 and was peerreviewed by EPA’s Science Advisory 

Board in July 2014. The final ROE can 

be found at: http://www.epa.gov/roe.
