EPA works to improve information management capabilities that support both EPA and federally recognized tribal environmental programs. This includes providing ongoing support and outreach to federally recognized tribes, tribal organizations, and EPA program offices and regions in their efforts to ensure appropriate use of tribal data and information in environmental decision making.

Exchange Network
The Environmental Information Exchange Network is a partner-inspired, developed, implemented, and governed information network. It facilitates environmental data sharing among EPA, states, tribes, and territories.
Partnership and Training
Partnerships are key to EPA’s work to increase the information technology and information management capacity necessary for tribal environmental program implementation. EPA’s Office of Information Management collaborates internally with EPA program offices and regions, and externally with tribal grantees, coalitions, partnership groups, and other federal agencies.
