<descript>
<abstract>This SEGS dataset delineates EPA Region boundaries and was created by U.S. EPA using 2011 TIGER/Line state boundaries from the U.S. Census Bureau. </abstract>
<purpose>The core mission of Shared Enterprise Geodata and Services (SEGS) is to provide a single point of ownership for geospatial datasets that are national in extent and of general use to all EPA users and to make those datasets available through channels that best meet user needs.</purpose>
