Obama Administration Launches Websites for Energy, EPA, Interior

A trio of federal agencies has launched new Web sites to comply with President Obama's Open Government directive.

U.S. EPA posted a new Web site that links to several of its databases on water quality, toxic releases and enforcement activity; the Interior Department has its own site that encourages public participation and talks about transparency; and the Energy Department is encouraging a "national conversation on energy."

Obama announced the Open Government directive in December in an attempt to increase transparency within federal agencies. NYT
