SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Federal Advisory Committee Act (Public Law 92-

of a two-day meeting of the Title VI Implementation Advisory Committee
of the National Advisory Council for Environmental Policy and

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 two-day public meeting will be held at the Ramada Plaza in
Old Town, 901 North Fairfax Street, Alexandria, Virginia. The meeting
