SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Federal Advisory Committee Act (Pub. L. 92-

of a three-day meeting of the Title VI Implementation Advisory
Committee of the National Advisory Council for Environmental Policy and
Technology (NACEPT). The Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964
prohibits recipients of federal financial assistance from
discriminating on the basis of race, color, or national origin in their
programs or activities.
The Title VI Implementation Advisory Committee will provide advice
to the Administrator and Deputy Administrator of EPA on techniques that
may be used by EPA funding recipients to operate environmental
permitting programs in compliance with Title VI.
This meeting is being held to provide the EPA with perspectives
from representatives of state and local governments, industry, the
academic community, tribal and indigenous organizations, and grassroots
environmental and other non-governmental organizations.
DATES: The three-day public meeting will be held at the Double Tree
Hotel at Reid Park, 445 South Alvernon Way, Tucson, Arizona. The
meeting will take place on Sunday, October 18, 1998 from 12:30 pm to
6:00 pm, Monday, October 19, 1998 from 1:30 pm to 5:30 pm, and Tuesday,

will be held on October 19 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Seating will be
