Quality Improvement Session for Tribal Air Program QA Project Plans: A Region 8 Perspective Tom Brooks U. S. EPA Region 8 Quality Assurance Program May 15, 2014

Problem Statement It is taking Tribes up to 3 years to get an approved Tribal Air Program Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP). Tribal Input to FY14 Region 8 Commitments “The document does not address the issue regarding streamlining the QAPP review and approval turn around time for Region 8. This has been an ongoing concern with tribal air quality programs in this Region.” EPA Commitment In FY14, Region 8 [QA Program] will conduct a Continuous Quality Improvement (QI) event to include interested Tribes and the Region 8 programs involved with Air QAPPs. The purpose of this effort will be to collaboratively and systematically develop a streamlined submittal, review and approval process for Tribal Air QAPPs. 2May 15, 2014QI Session for Tribal Air Program QAPPs: A Region 8 Perspective
