Burden Reduction (BR) Initiative

In March 2008, EPA released a draft progress report on the Burden Reduction Initiative. The March report is the first time codes such as "A9" and "E14" were introduced. The same codes are used throughout this site. Because this site's primary audiences - state and EPA personnel working on the Initiative - are familiar with the March report, it is important to offer an explanation when a recommendation that was in the March report does not appear here. In the case of A9, it was deleted because the recommendations in A9 were identical to the recommendation under E14. Go to E14.
