Lead Region Process
The purpose of the "Lead Region" system is to ensure the quality of agency decisions by providing an organized, consistent and effective regional role in all the major phases of Agency decision-making.
- Regional offices assigned as Lead Regions are responsible for working with their respective National Program Managers (NPMs) to identify and synthesize the concerns of all ten regions into a "regional view" that can be effectively factored into Agency decision-making.
- NPMs are responsible for soliciting and incorporating input from their Lead Regions on major policy, regulatory and resource decisions.
The current Lead Region structure has been in place since June 1984.
