In her April 10, 2001 memorandum to the Agency's senior leadership, Administrator Whitman asked the Innovation Action Council, composed of the highest levels of EPA career leaders, to make recommendations for updating EPA's innovations strategy by July 1, 2001. "I am interested in leveraging the experiences gained in voluntary and regulatory flexibility programs, and in targeting innovation on environmental priorities with particular emphasis on collaborating with states. I fully support the continued progress on Project XL, Performance Track and innovation projects with states until I can review the recommendations of this group and affirm a new innovations strategy."

In its 1999 report, Aiming for Excellence, the Innovations Action Council called for the development of a performance track to motivate and reward top environmental performance. Hence, the National Environmental Performance Track was created.
