SUMMARY: The document ``Sustainable Industry: Promoting Strategic 
Environmental Protection in the Industrial Sector, Phase 1 Report'' is 
available to the public. This report outlines the progress made to date 
in developing policy options that will improve environmental and 
economic performance in the metal finishing, photoimaging, and 
thermoset plastic industries. Hard copy and microfiche copies of the 
report can be purchased through the National Technical Information 
Service (NTIS). Ordering information is provided.

DOCUMENT DESCRIPTION: The Sustainable Industry Project represents a new 
approach to development of environmental policy for industry. The 
project is based on the premise that environmental policies for the 
industrial sector in the 1990s must be developed from a thorough 
understanding of the complex set of characteristics and decision-making 
factors that are unique to individual industrial sector or sub-sectors. 
Working with industries, states, non-governmental organizations, and 
other interested parties, EPA intends to design policies that will 
protect the environment and human health while fostering competitive 
and sustainable industries.
    The primary goal of the Sustainable Industry Project is to develop, 
test, and implement industry-specific policy recommendations that will 
remove barriers to innovation and promote strategic environmental 
protection. The Phase 1 Report details the selection of the three 
industries, the development of a network of ``stakeholders'' for the 
project, identification of the key drivers and barriers that influence 
environmental performance in each industry, and selection of the policy 
options that will effect changes in that performance.

ORDERING INFORMATION: The Phase 1 Report has been assigned the NTIS 
number PB94-195054. The price is $36.50 ($17.50 for microfiche). Orders 
may be placed by telephone to the NTIS order desk and charged against
