REPLY DUE NOVEMBER 14, 2008	
	
This is our second year of requesting that regions, stations, and areas provide information for the purpose of assessing our progress toward reducing our environmental footprint.  This data is necessary in order to respond to several authorities including the National Energy Conservation Policy Act (NECPA), the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPACT 05), the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA), Executive Order (EO) 13423 “Strengthening Federal Environmental, Energy, and Transportation Management, and your environmental management system (EMS) reviews.  Our goal is to not only be responsive to the above mandates but to continue sharing local successes and challenges that are taking place across the Agency as we focus on conservation and efficiencies in fleet and transportation, energy, watershed, purchasing and waste management.  
I am asking that each region, station, and area forward this data request and instructions to your field unit offices for input of data directly into the same on-line web form provided to you last year.  This web-based survey tool will allow for more streamlined data entry, collection and roll-up to be sent to the appropriate agencies to meet multiple upward reporting requests.  The on-line form is located at: 
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=hvzAa3M7vAGVTpp9qywZfw_3d_3d.  Also enclosed is a copy of the data request form included in the website for reference only. 
Thank you for taking the time to submit your unit’s data, success stories, and challenges.  Once this information is compiled, any and all of the Agency’s responses or reports will be available on informational websites.  
If you have any questions regarding energy, please contact Kurt Gernerd at (703)-605-4582 or by e-mail at kgernerd@fs.fed.us.  If you have questions regarding sustainable business practices, please contact Jacqueline Myers at (202)-205-1709 or by e-mail at jmyers01@fs.fed.us.
