About ITRC
Established in 1995, the Interstate Technology & Regulatory
Council (ITRC) is a state-led, national coalition of personnel from the
environmental regulatory agencies of all 50 states and the District of
Columbia, three federal agencies, tribes, and public and industry stakeholders.
The organization is devoted to reducing barriers to, and speeding interstate
deployment of, better, more cost-effective, innovative environmental techniques.
ITRC operates as a committee of the Environmental Research Institute of
the States (ERIS), a Section 501(c)(3) public charity that supports the Environmental
Council of the States (ECOS) through its educational and research activities
aimed at improving the environment in the United States and providing a
forum for state environmental policy makers. More information about ITRC
and its available products and services can be found on the Internet at www.itrcweb.org.
