Memorandum on Peer Review and Peer Involvement at EPA

This document establishes the policy of EPA for peer review of scientifically and technically based work products, including economic and social science products, that are intended to inform Agency decisions. Peer review, a form of peer involvement, is one process through which EPA staff augment their capabilities by inviting independent subject-matter experts to provide objective evaluation of the work product.
