Abstract: "The Environmental Protection Agency protects and enhances our environment today and for future generations to the fullest extent possible under the laws enacted by Congress. The Agency's mission is to control and abate pollution in the areas of air, water, solid waste, pesticides, radiation, and toxic substances. Its mandate is to mount an integrated, coordinated attack on environmental pollution in cooperation with State and local governments."
Purpose: Selected publication of this and other United States government agencies are available through the Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP). The index to the publications available through the FDLP is the Monthly Catalog of United States Government Publications (MOCAT), which also includes ordering information for those publications available for sale. Many publications are available to the public in the approximately 1300 Federal depository libraries throughout the United States. See also data in this record for Access Constraints and User Constraints, where such limitations on this agency's publications are appropriate.
Agency Program: "The Environmental Protection Agency was established in the executive branch as an independent agency pursuant to Reorganization Plan No. 3 of 1970 (5 U.S.C. app.), effective December 2, 1970. It was created to permit coordinated and effective governmental action on behalf of the environment. The Agency is designed to serve as the public's advocate for a livable environment."
