The Federal Remediation Technologies Roundtable (FRTR) works to build a collaborative atmosphere among federal agencies involved in hazardous waste site cleanup. FRTR was established in 1990 to bring together top federal cleanup program managers and other remediation community representatives to:
 |
Share information and learn about technology-related efforts of mutual interest, |
|
Discuss future directions of the national site remediation programs and their impact on the technology market, |
|
Interact with similar state and private industry technology development programs, and |
|
Form partnerships to pursue subjects of mutual interest. |
FRTR members-agencies include:
 |
U.S. Department of Defense |
|
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency |
|
U.S. Department of Energy |
|
U.S. Department of the Interior |
|
National Aeronautics and Space Administration |
Since its inception, collaborative efforts among the FRTR member-agencies have led to technology development and demonstration partnerships with private developers, a more consistent and unified federal approach to technology evaluation and regulatory acceptance, and a variety of technology transfer tools and other information resources.
