Basic Information

READ is an important tool for improving EPA’s ability to manage its information resources. Having an accurate inventory of which information resources exist at EPA, which EPA Program Office or Region owns that resource, and who the contact is for the resource, is a first step in effective management.

READ takes this management a step further by collecting life cycle phase information, how the resource supports environmental statutes, and whether the resource interfaces with other EPA information resources. READ facilitates a more enterprise-wide understanding of how information resources support the EPA mission. In an effort to streamline the reporting process, READ has been integrated into the EPA's governance process. Through this integration, EPA maintains a single resource title, acronym, and other information that is common across various reporting processes.
