R5 and the National Tribal Operations Committee (NTOC)

EPA established the National Tribal Operations Committee (NTOC) in February 1994 to improve communication and build stronger partnerships between the Agency and federally recognized Tribes. It is comprised of 20 Tribal members from all 10 EPA Regions (these members are collectively referred to as the NTC) and EPA's senior leadership team. The NTOC serves as the forum for the NTC and EPA senior leadership to work together on policy and resource matters related to Tribal capacity building, and environmental programs in Indian Country.
