The objectives of the grant program are to: • Facilitate sharing environmental data, especially through shared and reusable services. •Streamline data collection and exchanges to improve its timeliness for decision making. •Increase the quality and access to environmental data through discovery, publishing, outbound, and analytical services so it is more useful to environmental managers. •Develop foundational Exchange Network (EN) shared services (e.g., network security or corporate portals) to reduce burden and avoid costs for co-regulators and the regulated community. •Expand and improve participation in the EN by strengthening the requisite information management and technology capabilities for interested parties to fully participate in the EN. EPA and its state, tribal, and territorial partners continue to expand the Exchange Network. Phase 1: EPA and its partners are guided by the Exchange Network's Phase 2 implementation plan Phase 2: Emphasizes data exchanges among partners as well as making data readily available and more usable for communities of interest and the public
