Federal government-private sector partnerships for addressing environmental concern and technology development
Solutions to today's environmental problems are worldwide and cut across all science, technical, social, and economic disciplines and require partnerships between government, industry, and academic organizations. This sharing of resources, capabilities, and experiences, that are often unique to particular groups, will provide a synergism, previously not available, benefiting all participants. Per direction from the Office of Science and Technology Policy emphasizing the need for close interactions between the Federal government and private sector R and D communities, specific actions have been taken. The Private Enterprise and Government Interactions Working Group (PEGI) was established to catalyze partnerships and collaborative projects. Specific activities are underway with EPRI, the American Petroleum Institute, and the GEOSAT Committee. These types of interactions will be even further emphasized in the future, both domestically and internationally. This document will consider the existing Federal programs aimed at embracing an outreach to both private-sector concerns as well as state, local, and tribal government organizations on Environmental Technology development. The focus will be on the strengths and weaknesses of existent partnership policies and will recommend specific activities that could engender future cooperative actions as well as enhance existent operations.
