ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
[FRL-4853-1]

 

Information Resources Management Strategic Planning Task Force of 
the National Advisory Council for Environmental Policy and Technology; 
Public Meeting

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of public meeting.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Under the Federal Advisory Committee Act, Public Law 92-463, 
EPA gives notice of a one-day meeting of the Information Resources 
Management (IRM) Strategic Planning Task Force. The IRM Task Force is a 
special task force formed under the Environmental Information and 
Assessment (EIA) Committee, which is one of the standing committees 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 the EIA Committee examines issues associated with the gathering, 
dissemination, and use of environmentally related data and information.
    The IRM Task Force was formed to provide recommendations on key 
elements that EPA should include in an Information Resources Management 
Strategic Plan for the Agency. The Task Force has met three times, and 
has developed a series of interim recommendations. The members of the 
Task Force would like to make these interim recommendations available 
to the public for review and comment, so that they will have the 
benefit of suggestions from the broadest audience possible as they 
prepare their final report to EPA.
    The Task Force has allotted time at its next meeting for oral 
comments from the public. The members of the Task Force are 
particularly interested in receiving comments and suggestions on the 
interim recommendations that they have developed, and on any other 
issues that are pertinent to IRM activities at EPA.
    Any member of the public wishing to present oral comments to the 
Task Force can schedule an appointment by contacting Mark Joyce at the 
address and telephone numbers listed below. Due to time constraints, 
oral presentations will be strictly limited to ten minutes. An 
additional five minutes will be available if members of the Task Force 
need to ask clarifying questions, but time limitations will not allow 
discussion between presenters and the Task Force.
    Presentations will begin at 9:30 a.m. on the morning of the 
meeting, and time-slots will be allocated on a first-come, first-served 
basis to those scheduling a presentation in advance. Presentations will 
continue until all that have been scheduled have been completed, or 
until the Task Force resumes its deliberations in the afternoon. 
Written comments will be accepted at any time, but must be received by 
April 15, 1994 to be considered during the development of the Task 
Force's final report.
    During its afternoon session, the Task Force will discuss its 
interim recommendations with representatives from EPA, and will begin 
discussion of the suggestions and comments from the presentations given 
during the morning session.
    Copies of the interim recommendations from the Task Force can be 
obtained by contacting Mark Joyce at the address and telephone numbers 
listed below.

DATES: The public meeting will be held on Wednesday April 6, 1994, from 
9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in Room 333 at the National Governors' Association 
Hall of the States, 444 North Capitol Street, Washington, DC.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be sent to: Mark Joyce 1601F, Office 
of Cooperative Environmental Management, U.S. EPA, 401 M Street SW., 
Washington, DC 20460.
