EPA SEEKS 30 PERCENT 'DISINVESTMENTS' TO FUND JACKSON'S FY11 PRIORITIES

摘要

EPA program offices are under orders to draft options for "disinvesting" between 10 and 30 percent from their current budgets in fiscal year 2011, and identify options for reinvesting those savings in a "bold new direction" to focus on agency Administrator Lisa Jackson's priorities.rnOne state source says the disinvestments could focus on contract spending because the agency will not be considering disinvestments to authorized programs. EPA officials are looking for ways to boost Jackson's priority areas that include reducing greenhouse gases (GHGs) and managing chemical risks.
