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(Reissued May 2006) 4 will be rescinded.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.
