  "definition": "An EnPPA is an agreement between the US EPA Region 5 office and a state which identifies the Region's and the state's responsibilities and how best to work together for the benefit of the public and the environment. These responsibilities include meeting Federal and state environmental requirements, outlining how both agencies will collaborate to achieve joint priorities, identifying the state's work commitments and corresponding reporting requirements for the Federal grants covered by the agreement. Performance measures report on program activity and progress and environmental results. In Region 5, Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota and Wisconsin have EnPPAs with the US EPA. EnPPAs may cover one or two years. The National Environmental Performance Partnership System (NEPPS) was created in 1995 to reflect advances in environmental protection in the United States over the past two decades and proposes ways for the EPA and states to work together according to their strengths to direct reduced public resources toward improving the environment. More information about EnPPAs can be found on the National Environmental Performance Partnership System home page http://www.epa.gov/ocirpage/nepps/.",
