Federal Activities Inventory Reform Act

The Federal Activities Inventory Reform (FAIR) Act of 1998, P.L. 105-270, and Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-76 require agencies to prepare inventories of the commercial and inherently governmental activities performed by their federal employees.

Also, in accordance with FAIR Section 2 (c)(2) and the Circular, Attachment A, paragraph D.6, when a FAIR Act Challenge results in a change to an agency inventory, EPA shall make such changes available to the public, transmit a copy of the change to OMB and the Congress and publish a notice of public availability in the Federal Register.

The Environmental Protection Agency’s inventories represent a comprehensive report of all EPA commercial and inherently governmental activities and the Full-Time Equivalents (FTE) performing them. EPA’s inventories do not include FTEs from the EPA Office of Inspector General; they submit and publish their inventory separately.
