Web Standard: Local Styles

Note

All EPA public and internal content pages and web applications are required to follow this standard.

Local styles are created outside of the standard EPA style sheet. These are not allowed. One EPA Web uses only EPA standard styles found in the style guide. EPA's official branding is managed by the Office of Public Affairs. The 21st Century Integrated Digital Experience Act requires a standard look and feel.
