definition: The National Acid Precipitation Assessment Program (NAPAP) is an interagency scientific research, monitoring and assessment program on the effects of sulfur and nitrogen oxides on the environment and human health. NAPAP acts as a coordinating office between six Federal agencies, which also fosters cooperation among its members, other governments, States, universities, and the private sector. The participating agencies are the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Department of Energy (DOE), the Department of the Interior (DOI), the Department of Agriculture (USDA), and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). NAPAP is a mature program that, through coordination, capitalizes on the different strengths of the participating agencies.
