The Great Lakes Interagency Task Force (IATF) and the Regional Working Group were established by Executive Order 13340 in May 2004. The EPA Administrator chairs the IATF to coordinate work under the GLRI Action Plans. The IATF, through its Regional Working Group, selects the best combination of programs and projects.
The Great Lakes Advisory Board (GLAB) is one of EPA's Federal Advisory Committees.
Regional Working Group
The Regional Working Group coordinates GLRI activities and makes recommendations on how to implement the policies, strategies, projects and priorities of the Task Force. The RWG conducts monthly conference calls or meetings.
It is composed of the appropriate regional administrator or director with programmatic responsibility for the Great Lakes system for each agency represented on the Task Force.
