SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The GPRA Modernization Act of 2010 

(Pub. L. 111–352), holds federal 

agencies accountable for using resources 

wisely and achieving program results. 

Specifically, the GPRA Modernization 

Act requires agencies to develop: 

Strategic Plans, which include a 

mission statement, set out long-term 

goals, objectives, and strategic measures, 

and describe strategies to achieve them 

over a four-year time horizon; two-year 

Agency Priority Goals to advance 

progress toward the highest priorities; 

Annual Performance Plans, which 

provide annual performance measures 

and activities toward the long-term 

Strategic Plan; and, Annual 

Performance Reports, which evaluate an 

agency’s success in achieving the 

annual performance measures. 

The Strategic Plan reflects the 

Administrator’s priorities for advancing 

the Agency’s mission to protect human 

health and the environment by setting 

three strategic goals: 

• Core Mission: Deliver real results to 

provide Americans with clean air, land, 

and water. 

• Cooperative Federalism: Rebalance 

the power between Washington and the 

states to create tangible environmental 

results for the American people. 

• Rule of Law and Process: 

Administer the law, as Congress 

intended, to refocus the Agency on its 

statutory obligations under the law. 

This Strategic Plan includes 

objectives and strategies for achieving 

the strategic goals, and establishes 

strategic measures and FY 2018–2019 

Agency Priority Goals by which EPA 

will hold itself accountable to monitor 

progress in improving significantly the 

way EPA does business and 

environmental benefits, engaging 

closely with public sector partners at all 

levels and the regulated community.
