Managing each phase of the electronics life-cycle in an environmentally preferable manner requires the proper resources. FEC provides personal technical assistance and an extensive library of documents and tools.
FEC provides technical assistance to all partners. Technical assistance providers are available to provide individual support to partner facilities to aid completion of the baseline survey, annual reporting requirements, and award applications; or to answer questions and supply specific technical information. Partners may request technical assistance via email to partner@electronicschallenge.net. Regional Champions are also available to assist federal facilities with their electronics management programs.
