3. 3 Overview: ICIS Phases and Delivery Time Frames Overview: ICIS Phases and Delivery Time Frames Modernized Permit Compliance System (PCS) Direct user release implemented June/August 2006 Air Facility System (AFS) Interface with Facility Registry System (FRS) Federal Enforcement Docket System Phase I Phase II Phase III 2002 2006/9 2009+ Regional Tracking Systems Completed and Launched June 2002 Interface with Data Integration Tools (e.g., IDEA )

4. 4 PCS Modernization Direct User Release Completed in FY2006  On June 23, 2006, the new system, the Integrated Compliance Information System (ICIS 2.0) was released. ICIS is one system, but has two components:  ICIS-NPDES –supports the implementation and management of the NPDES permitting and compliance enforcement program in EPA and states. Direct Users: 21 States, 2 Tribes, and 9 territories are now using ICIS-NPDES instead of PCS.  ICIS-FE&C - supports the Federal Enforcement and Compliance component of EPA’s civil enforcement and compliance program.

5. 5 Major Goals in FY2007 for ICIS 2.0  Improve stability and performance of system.  Implement quarterly interim releases to fix problems and enhance the system. Interim release planned for Nov 20 should include performance fixes and quicker NPDES DMR data entry path.  Implement ICIS-NPDES batch DMR release by Sept 2007.  Issue ICIS-NPDES Policy Statement  Update/revise governance structure(s)  Training

6. 6 ICIS-NPDES Batch Release Approach  3-Part Batch Release Approach: Part 1: DMR flows from state systems to ICIS-NPDES from hybrid states. Part 2: DMR flows from facilities in direct user states (NetDMR) to ICIS- NPDES. Part 3: All other flows for all remaining states.

7. 7 State Status in the PCS Modernization Process States Directly Using ICIS-NPDES States Still in PCS Hybrid Batch Full Batch States States Region 1RI, MA*, NH*, CT, MEVT Region 2PR, VI*, NY, AT, SRNJ Region 3MD, DC, PAVA, DE, WV Region 4GATNAL, KY, MS, NC, SC, FL Region 5INIL, MI, WIMN, OH Region 6NM, GMAR, OK^, TX, Gulf of Mexico LA Region 7NEIA, KS, MO Region 8UT, MT, SDCOND, WY Region 9HI, NV, NN, AS, CZ, CM, TT, GU CAAZ Region 10ID*, AK*WA, OR *State government not approved for the NPDES program; implemented by EPA Region. Italics – Tribe or Territory ^ State may really become direct users since do DMR batch via PCS desktop utility.

8. 8 ICIS-NPDES Batch Part 1 Key Milestones ICIS-NPDES Selected Batch Milestones for Part 1Date Initiate Integrated Project Team (IPT) for Batch Release with states, regions, OEI and contractors October 2006 Restart data migration and PCS cleanup workgroup with hybrid states for the Batch: Part 1 release (DMR from state systems) October 2006 Finalize ICIS-NPDES XML schemas and associated documents for DMR flows. October 31, 2006 Commence testing of DMR flows for pilot statesSpring 2007 Part 1 implementation for Pilot States: Migrate several states from PCS to ICIS-NPDES, with batch DMR flows in operation. September 2007 Part 1 implementation for ALL remaining Hybrid States: Migrate remaining hybrid states to ICIS-NPDES, with batch DMR flows in operation. March 2008

9. 9 ICIS FE&C Status Today  50 reports are needed for Annual Accomplishment Reporting As of October 6th, 38 reports have been completed. The rest are very close to being done. Thanks to all the Regions for testing the reports.  ICIS had major problems with reporting and system stability, primarily from August 21 to Sept 8.  ICIS performance in Sept/Oct has been slow.  We have increased ICIS performance monitoring in an effort to identify and remedy problems quicker.  ICIS is a new, complex system and there will be some bumps in the first year. We are working hard to anticipate bumps so we can prevent them, and/or minimize their impact on our users.

10. 10 ICIS FE&C Plans for FY2007  FTSS/NCDB data entry and tracking for federal toxic, pesticide and EPCRA 313 enforcement and compliance activities in FY2007 and beyond move to ICIS by November 20 th.  Develop prioritized list of fixes and enhancements to try to roll out in 3 rd and/or 4 th quarter of FY2007. This depends on FY2007 budget Need Regional input, perhaps through ICIS POB, to identify and prioritize, and to help develop requirements.  Revise the FY2005 ICIS Monthly Management Reports Revise to work with ICIS 2.0. Revise to better meet Regional management needs Need group of regional managers to help us develop requirements for these reports

11. 11 Training Plans for FY2007  During 2006 we provided 22 training sessions. ICIS-FE&C, all 10 Regions were trained over a 2 day period. ICIS-NPDES, all Regions and directs user States were trained over a 5 day period.  2007 plans include a variety of trainings to meet diverse needs Tailored trainings for specific audiences Focused Reports Training  face to face  Web technology  On-line training software

12. 12 Continued Communication in FY2007  ICIS 2.0 Monthly Newsletter  EPA Production Operation Board (POB)  Monthly ICIS-FE&C User Calls  Monthly ICIS-NPDES User Calls  ICIS 2.0 User Support 8:00 – 5:30 Monday – Friday  202-564-7756 or ICIS@EPA.gov

13. 13 AFS Modernization Timelines  FY 2007 Start AFS Business Requirements Define the business, functionality and data needs for a modernized AFS.  Identify limitations of AFS that should be addressed by modernized system.  Identify functions in AFS that might not be necessary to include in modernized system. Obtain input from CAA enforcement and compliance program staff and managers in HQ, Regions and States.  FY2008 Start Alternatives and Cost Benefit Analyses Given our business requirements, what are at least 3 options for developing an information system to meet these needs. ICIS is the leading option, but other options will be considered.
