National Environmental Status and Trends (NEST) Indicator Project Region 3 State Meeting May 12, 2009

CEQ Refocused on Environmental Indicators Collaboration on Indicators of the Nations Environment (CINE) to develop a System of Indicators of the Nations Environment (SINE) Regular discussions were held among interested parties, incl NGOs EPA, Interior (USGS), Commerce (NOAA), Agriculture (Forest Service & Natural Resources Conservation Service) were steady participants along with OMB and OSTP To get more advice for the CEQ dialog, the Dept of the Interior requested the National Academy of Public Administration in 2006 to review the situation, with special focus on the institutional collaboration challenges A Green Compass: Institutional Options for Developing a National System of Environmental Indicators (Nov 2007) to effectively allocate national, state and private resources to the most critical environmental problems and identify important trends, it is clear America needs a comprehensive nationwide system of environmental indicators

CEQ, OSTP, OMB Policy Memo June 17, 2008 The pilot project is designed to test the vision for the NEST Indicators. It will demonstrate the collaborative interagency processes that will be used to select and implement indicators and will improve the consistency and interoperability of data. In addition, a national forum will be convened to identify the topics and questions that should be addressed by the indicators of water availability. NEST Indicators are envisioned to be a set of high quality, science-based statistical measures of selected conditions of our environment and natural resources. They address topics that are sufficiently important and cross- cutting to warrant the acquisition of data using measurement methods and statistical designs that are consistent across the entire country and repeated regularly over time.

4 Key Products of NEST Pilot Project Desirable attributes of high-level environmental and natural resource indicators Set of core policy-related questions that guide indicator creation/selection for water availability Frame broad, high-level policy questions & issues Reflect enduring, recurring interests Initial set of indicators for water availability (5 to 7) Results of an initial test of data interoperability and the ability to report on them Recommended changes to existing programs at the participating agencies to improve reporting After Action Review of institutional collaboration and any recommended changes to improve institutional capacity

Who is Involved? Participating departments/agencies Dept of Agriculture (FS & NRCS) Dept of Commerce (NOAA) Dept of the Interior EPA Ex-Officio – CEQ,OSTP, OMB National Forum to engage stakeholders State agencies and other interested Federal agencies NGOs The science community

National Forum in February 2009 Hear the views of stakeholders What are the most important questions where information is needed to make better policy? Focus on water quantity and quality Welcome information on other resources Identify potential non-Fed contributions To the policy dialogues at multiple geo-spatial scales To the data and data management needed for better dialogue To the estimation and reporting processes to create indicators that will better inform policy dialogue

NEST Timeline & Milestones Finish the pilot test by Oct/Nov 2009 Review current situation and ongoing projects/processes (Aug 08) Initial description of indicator attributes and framework (Nov 08) First National Forum (Feb 09) to identify key questions Second National Forum (Jun 09) focus on water indicators Final report on water availability indicator test (Sep 09) Final recommendations (Oct 09) After Action Review (Nov 09) Keep the pedal to the metal throughout transition
