4 http://www.epa.gov/quality/qs-docs/r5-final.pdf 2105.0) 1 and provides greater alignment with the EPA Quality Policy (CIO 2106.0) 2 . The draft Quality Standard defines how EPA quality requirements shall be applied to non-EPA organizations under authorized agreements governed by Federal regulations; and defines the general requirements an organization shall use to establish and maintain an effective quality management system for environmental programs. Non-EPA organizations will still be required to develop and submit a Quality Management Plan to EPA for approval for environmental data operations conducted on behalf of EPA and to use QAPPs or equivalent documents to establish quality specifications in individual project activities that collect, produce, and use environmental data.

The draft Quality Standard contains appendices which provide the requirements for QMPs and the requirements for QA Project Plans. When the standards are issued, EPA QA/R–2, EPA Requirements for Quality Management Plans, March 2001 (Reissued May 2006) 3 and EPA QA/R– 5, EPA Requirements for Quality Assurance Project Plans, March 2001 (Reissued May 2006) 4 will be rescinded. Section 2.3.1 of the draft Quality Standard describes how this will impact non-EPA organizations with existing external agreements. Design of the draft Handbooks provides assistance to users creating QMPs and QAPPs that address the specifications listed in the draft Quality Standard.

EPA also plans to issue a Quality Standard for Environmental Collection, Production and Use by EPA organizations. The content of this standard is similar to the draft Quality Standard for External Organizations. This draft Quality Standard is currently being reviewed by EPA organizations. It is anticipated that both Quality Standards will be issued simultaneously.
