In 2010, EPA, in concert with its federal partners, will begin implementation of a new Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) that was included in the Department of the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2010 (Public Law 111-88). The GLRI will invest funds in programs and projects strategically chosen to target the most significant environmental problems in the Great Lakes ecosystem. The legislation calls for increased accountability for the GLRI and directs EPA to implement a process to track, measure, and report on progress. As part of this process, federal and non-federal entities receiving GLRI funds will be required to submit detailed information on GLRI projects as part of their funding agreement. Recipients will be required to provide information on the nature of the activity, responsible organization, organizational point of contact, resource levels, geographic location, major milestones and progress toward GLRI goals. The information is necessary to provide an accurate depiction of activities, progress, and results. Information will be updated on a quarterly basis. A web-based Great Lakes Accountability System (GLAS) will be the primary mechanism for collecting information on GLRI activities. GLAS will be available at http://restore.glnpo.net:8080/glas/login.htm. The web-site will contain a user-friendly data entry interface for recipients to enter and submit project information directly into the GLAS. The data entry interface consists of a series of screens containing pull-down menus and text boxes, where users can enter project specific information. The GLAS will provide the necessary information for reports to the President and Congress and will be accessible to the public via Internet.
