E-enterprise is working to achieve this by streamlining and modernizing the implementation of our Environmental programs, enhancing service to the regulated community and the public, and operating as a model of joint governance. E-enterprise builds on the model of the national Environmental information exchange network and continues the work of the exchange network as the ability to move and share Environmental data efficiently is essential to modernizing Environmental protection and enhancing service to stakeholders.

Omnibus: the "omnibus" consists of numerous small projects funded by u.s. epa through a cooperative agreement. Current omnibus projects include sustainable materials management, toxics and tsca activities, state pilots of the combined air emissions report, and coordination between States and the office of research and development.
