QA Assessments: Quality Requirements

- The QMP requires that environmental programs conducted by EPA NE be checked periodically. Organizations funded by EPA NE (states, tribes, other grantees, and contractors) must also undergo assessments.
- These assessments must be summarized in written reports that describe critical problems that were found. Within a specified time frame, the assessed organization submits a plan to correct these problems. It follows up by providing documentation that the corrective action was effective.
