Policy on Alternative Dispute Resolution

This document publishes the draft final policy of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regarding the use of alternative dispute resolution ("ADR"). The Agency is requesting public comment on this draft document. This document replaces the Interim Statement of Policy on Alternative Dispute Resolution (65 FR 13383) which was issued on March 13, 2000. The draft final policy is published in the Federal Register to affirm EPA's commitment to the use of ADR in Agency activities. The draft final policy discusses the types of situations in which ADR should be considered, how EPA is organized to support ADR, confidentiality of information in ADR processes, efforts to promote a commitment to and awareness of ADR within the Agency, and how the success of ADR will be measured. Nothing in this document creates any right or benefit by a party against the United States.
