EPA's Privacy Push

The Environmental Protection Agency has made some progress in setting up a privacy program to protect personally identifiable information, but it needs to do more, the agency's inspector general says. Specifically, the IG recommends that EPA:

• Identify the Privacy Program’s key goals and activities, and establish performance measures to assess their progress.
• Update its Privacy Program policies and procedures, and establish processes to manage and make all privacy policies available to EPA personnel.
• Put into place a process to monitor the Privacy Program.
