1. November 8, 2011 Improving Public Access to Pollution Prevention, Toxic Chemical Safety, and Greener Products Beginning from Data to Results 11/8/2011 1

2. EPA is interested in identifying and capitalizing on opportunities for leveraging the wealth of available Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) health and safety data (HASD) and Pollution Prevention (P2) Program data to help reduce the emission of greenhouse gasses; the use of hazardous materials; and the use of natural resources, while contributing to a greener and more sustainable economy. The broad mission of the Pollution Prevention (P2) Program is to prevent pollution at the source and conserve natural resources, which are critical steps towards achieving a sustainable society. Authority of the P2 Program comes from the Pollution Prevention Act of 1990 (PPA) and a series of Executive Orders since 1993. Both promote intra-agency and inter-agency collaboration. 2

3. How to improve public access to the overload of World Wide Web data related to pollution prevention, toxic chemical safety, and availability of green products with: Independent programs with… Independent websites with… Independent technical capabilities with… Independent data elements… 3
