Welcome

Since 1993, the National Governors Association’s Center for Best Practices has convened the Federal Facilities Task Force to enhance communication between the states and the U.S. Department of Energy on issues related to the cleanup of the nuclear weapons complex. The Task Force is comprised of Governor-appointed policy and technical representatives from states where major U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) facilities are located. Task Force members work directly with DOE officials, and other interested groups - including local governments, environmental commissioners and tribal governments - to help coordinate state regulatory and oversight responsibilities related to cleanup with the U.S. Department of Energy.

This website aims to share cleanup-related news and information on a wide array of technical, budget-related,and policy issues arising from the DOE’s enormous cleanup efforts in the states. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact us at dborak@nga.org.
