ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
[FRL-5098-2]
National Advisory Council for Environmental Policy and
Technology; Ecosystems Information and Assessments Committee; Public
Meeting
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of public meeting.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Under the Federal Advisory Committee Act, PL 92463, EPA gives
notice of a two-day meeting of the Ecosystems Information and
Assessments Committee of the National Advisory Council for
Environmental Policy and Technology (NACEPT). NACEPT provides advice
and recommendations to the Administrator of EPA on a broad range of
environmental policy issues, and this meeting is being held to discuss
the Ecosystems Information and Assessments Committee agenda for the
coming year. The Administrator has asked NACEPT to concentrate on
ecosystem management and how long-term ecological, economic, and social
needs can be integrated to achieve a place-driven approach to
environmental management.
The Ecosystems Information and Assessments Committee will
concentrate on specific information and assessment issues required to
support a successful place-based approach to ecosystem management.
These issues will include discussion of the role of EPA in information
access and dissemination to support place-based ecosystems management;
discussion of information technologies available to support place-based
ecosystems management; and discussion of assessments in support of
place-based ecosystems management.
The Ecosystems Information and Assessments Committee, as does
NACEPT, comprises a representative cross-section of EPA's partners and
constituents. However, in order to gain additional insights and
perspectives from all interested parties as this committee begins its
work, time has been allotted during the meeting for oral comments from
the public. Any member of the public wishing to present oral comments
on any of these issues can schedule an appointment by contacting Joe
Sierra at the address and telephone numbers below. Due to time
constraints, oral presentations will be strictly held to five minutes,
and slots are limited.
Available time slots will be allocated on a first-come, first-
served basis to those scheduling a presentation in advance. Written
comments will be accepted at any time prior to, or at, the meeting.
DATES: The two-day public meeting will be held on Tuesday, December 6,
1994, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Wednesday, December 7, 1994 from
8:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. On both days the meeting will be held at the
Quality Hotel Capitol Hill, 415 New Jersey Ave. N.W., Washington, D.C.
20001.
