      abstract = {This paper examines the United States' experience with  environmental decentralization, focusing on the  relationship between the U.S. Environmental Protection  Agency (EPA) and the states. It outlines the factors that  are considered in determining the appropriate degree of  decentralization, the advantages and disadvantages of  decentralization, how the EPA-state relationship has  evolved over the years, and the structural mechanisms used  to ensure that there is a high degree of performance by EPA  and the states in administering the programs.  Program-specific examples of the EPA-state relationship are  also provided.},
