Regulator Participation in the EMS Sample Clauses

Regulator Participation in the EMS. The Signatories to this Agreement believe that a high-quality EMS has the potential to serve as a vehicle for an entirely new interface among regulators and regulated entities that can more efficiently and constructively integrate the functions of federal and state environmental governance with traditional business management systems. While the development of such new relationships is not essential to the purpose of this FPA, which is testing whether an EMS can generate a single governing environmental document for a company, based upon management of all its Significant Environmental Aspects , the Signatories firmly believe that integration of regulator participation into the normal operation of an EMS can enhance efficiency and improve environmental progress. Characteristics of the ideal relationships raised during the FPA discussions include: • Joint participation in the continual improvement of the EMS both at the facility and business-wide levels. • Participation by regulators in those parts of the EMS where such participation is most efficient, such as in the identification of environmental aspects and the establishment of EMS objectives, targets and long term strategies. • Ability to develop creative mechanisms for both regulators and the regulated community that further encourage not just immediate systematic corrective action for discovered issues, but enhance systems and incentives to seek out current problems or past inadequacies. • Ability to make streamlined decisions about flexibilities arising during EMS discussions regarding setting Objectives intended to manage Significant Environmental Aspects. • Integration of the best environmental science available from respected sources such as USEPA into the highest quality product design. The Signatories to this Agreement recognize that the transition to a model integrating regulatory participation into the daily workings of a corporate EMS is a complex task which requires that entirely new relationships between regulators and the regulated entity, and may require the exploration of potentially new long term alternative models for traditional regulatory functions. The Signatories understand this necessitates a phased approach to developing an integrated participation model and believe this Pilot Project provides the opportunity to move steadily and deliberately toward that end. The Signatories agree to work together over the term of the FPA to attempt to create a new model for relationships between r...

  • DETERMINATION OF DBE PARTICIPATION A firm must be an eligible DBE and perform a professional or technical function relating to the project. Once a firm is determined to be an eligible DBE, the total amount paid to the DBE for work performed with his/her own forces is counted toward the DBE goal. When a DBE subcontracts part of the work of its contract to another firm, the value of the subcontracted work may be counted toward DBE goals only if the subprovider is itself a DBE. Work that a DBE subcontracts to a non-DBE firm does not count toward DBE goals. A DBE subprovider may subcontract no more than 70% of a federal aid contract. The DBE subprovider shall perform not less than 30% of the value of the contract work with assistance of employees employed and paid directly by the DBE; and equipment owned or rented directly by the DBE. DBE subproviders must perform a commercially useful function required in the contract in order for payments to be credited toward meeting the contract goal. A DBE performs a commercially useful function when it is responsible for executing the work of the contract and is carrying out its responsibilities by actually performing, managing, and supervising the work involved. To perform a commercially useful function, the DBE must also be responsible, with respect to materials and supplies used on the contract, for negotiating price, determining quality and quantity, ordering the material, and installing (where applicable) and paying for the material itself . When a DBE is presumed not to be performing a commercially useful function, the DBE may present evidence to rebut this presumption. A Provider may count toward its DBE goal a portion of the total value of the contract amount paid to a DBE joint venture equal to the distinct, clearly defined portion of the work of the contract performed by the DBE. Proof of payment, such as copies of canceled checks, properly identifying the Department’s contract number or project number may be required to substantiate the payment, as deemed necessary by the Department.
