Regulatory Reinvention (XL) Pilot

Projects

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of availability of Lucent

Project XL Draft Umbrella Final Project

Agreement and Related Documents.

SUMMARY: EPA is today requesting

comments on a proposed Project XL

Final Project Agreement (FPA) for

Lucent Technologies, Inc. The FPA is a

voluntary agreement developed

collaboratively by Lucent, stakeholders,

the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,

and EPA. Project XL, announced in the

Federal Register on May 23, 1995 (60

FR 27282), gives regulated sources the

flexibility to develop alternative

strategies that will replace or modify

specific regulatory requirements on the

condition that they produce greater

environmental benefits. EPA has set a

goal of implementing a total of fifty

projects undertaken in full partnership

with the states.

The draft FPA is based on an existing

third-party certified environmental

management system (EMS) for Lucent’s

entire global microelectronics business

unit, in fulfillment of the ISO 14001

standard for EMSs. The draft FPA

would allow Lucent to use the existing

EMS as a framework for developing

specific proposals involving regulatory

flexibility such as simplifying

permitting, record keeping, and

reporting requirements, while driving

continual improvement and pollution

prevention programs. The draft FPA

would provide a ‘‘test bed’’ to determine

the broad applicability of ISO 14001 as

a vehicle for determining and managing

regulatory flexibility while achieving

superior environmental performance.

Lucent’s proposed project is a multiregional attempt to incorporate

environmental management practices

across the entire business unit. The

parties anticipate that the EMS will

foster superior environmental

performance by identifying

opportunities to reduce Lucent’s

environmental impact. EPA Regions 3

and 4 are intended sites for facilityspecific projects. Each facility-specific

addendum to the umbrella FPA will

also demonstrate superior

environmental performance. The

regulatory flexibility necessary to

implement specific projects will be

discussed in each facility-specific

addendum.
