As a result of the Project XL experience, the EPA and the Environmental Council of the States (ECOS) negotiated an agreement to guide environmental regulatory innovations in the future called the Joint EPA-State Agreement to Pursue Regulatory Innovation. The Innovations Agreement serves as an alternate vehicle for the States to test innovations. This agreement defines seven principles to guide regulatory innovations and a process that clarifies how EPA and States will work together to put these good ideas to the test.
