Federal Facility Identification

The Federal Facility Identification Data Standard was developed by the Environmental Data Standards Council (EDSC). The EDSC is a partnership among EPA, States and Tribal partners to develop and agree upon data standards for environmental information collection and exchange. The Council seeks to promote efficient sharing of environmental information between State, EPA, and Tribal partners through the development of data standards. More information about the EDSC is available on the EDSC website at www.epa.gov/edsc/.

The Council identifies those areas of information for which having standards will render the most value in achieving environmental results, prioritizes the areas, and pursues the development of data standards. The Council involves Indian Tribes and Nations, other states and federal agencies, business groups, non-governmental organizations, and other interested parties as the standards are developed.
The Federal Facility Identification Data Standard was approved by the EDSC on July 29, 2003 and approved by EPA on November 12, 2003.
