The bureaucratic agency I have chosen was the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The main mission of EPA is to protect human health and the environment. Some of the EPA’s goals are, but not limited to:  Americans have clean air, land and water; National efforts to reduce environmental risks are based on the best available scientific information; Contaminated lands and toxic sites are cleaned up by potentially responsible parties and revitalized (United States Environmental Protection Agency, 2018).

           The EPA has many special interest groups involved with the agency. The Office of Administration and Resources Management (OARM) provides national leadership, policy, and management of many essential support functions for the Agency, including human resources management, acquisition activities, grants management, and management and protection of EPA’s facilities and other critical assets nationwide. The Office of Air and Radiation (OAR) develops national programs, policies, and regulations for controlling air pollution and radiation exposure. The Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance (OECA) goes after pollution problems that impact American communities through vigorous civil and criminal enforcement. The Office of Environmental Information (OEI) identify and implement innovative information technology and information management solutions that strengthen EPA’s ability to achieve its goals. There are multiple other special interest groups involved with the EPA as well (United States Environmental Protection Agency, 2018).

           The EPA’s website is user friendly, it gives you access to all of the special interest groups, information on all of them and how they play a role in the EPA, as well as contact information and office location, making them all easily accessible.
