Partnership simplifies Action Agenda, adds research and resilience actions after public comment
Summary
Partnership planners reorganized the Action Agenda into four chapters to improve usability, moved extended content into an appendix, and added research-and-monitoring and resilience-focused actions after more than 400 public comments.
Doug Kennedy, environmental planner with the Partnership, presented the 2026–2030 Action Agenda update and described major changes made after the public comment period and tribal consultation. "About 63% of the comments we received resulted in changes to the document," Kennedy said, noting that changes included chapter reorganization, new graphics, and the addition of several actions to the research-and-monitoring topic.
The Action Agenda was restructured into four chapters: an introduction, a recovery framework, foundations of recovery (six topics such as research and monitoring), and the recovery plan (20 topics). Some detailed topic descriptions and partner commitments were moved into an appendix to keep the main document concise. Kennedy also noted new icons to flag outreach/education actions and resilience-focused actions and flagged where state funding would be required because actions may not meet current executive-order restrictions on federal funds.
Next steps: the Partnership submitted the draft to the Leadership Council for adoption; upon leadership council action the document will be forwarded to EPA for concurrence and then proceed to implementation. Staff said they will provide the appendix materials and graphics online and continue coordination with partners and tribes.
