SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION:

This
standard
was
developed
by
the
Environmental
Data
Standards
Council
(
EDSC).

The
EDSC
is
a
partnership
of
among
EPA,
States,
and
Tribes
which
promotes
the
efficient
sharing
of
environmental
information
through
the
cooperative
development
of
data
standards.

The
standards
are
intended
for
use
in
environmental
data
exchanges
among
States,
Tribal
entities
and
the
US
EPA.
They
are
not
meant
to
dictate
or
to
limit
data
an
agency
chooses
to
collect
for
its
own
internal
purposes.
Adoption
of
a
data
standard
should
not
be
interpreted
to
mean
that
revisions
to
databases
or
information
systems
are
required.

What
the
adoption
does
mean
is
that
formats
for
sharing
data
with
Exchange
Network
(
EN)
partners
will
change
because
the
Exchange
Network
has
adopted
Shared
Schema
Components
(
SSCs)
based
on
the
data
standards.
The
SSCs
are
available
on
the
Exchange
Network
web
site
at
http://
www.
exchangenetwork.
net.

The
draft
data
standards
documents
can
be
found
on
EDSC's
website

and
are
