Intent To Establish the Environmental Management Site Specific 
Advisory Board

AGENCY: Department of Energy.

ACTION: Notice of intent to establish.

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

    Pursuant to section 14(a)(2)(A) of the Federal Advisory Committee 
Act (Pub. L. 92-463), and in accordance with title 41 of the Code of 
Federal Regulations, Sec. 101-6.1015(a), and following consultation 
with the Committee Management Secretariat, General Services 
Administration, notice is hereby given that the Environmental 
Management Site Specific Advisory Board has been established for a two-
year period.
    The purpose of the Board is to provide the Assistant Secretary for 
Environmental Restoration and Waste Management with advice and 
recommendations on environmental management projects and issues such as 
risk management, economic development, future land use, and budget 
prioritization activities, from the perspectives of affected groups and 
State and local Governments. Board membership shall reflect the full 
diversity of views in the affected community and region and be composed 
primarily of people who are directly affected by site clean-up 
activities. Members may include, but will not be limited to, interested 
stakeholders from local governments, Indian Tribes, environmental and 
civic groups, labor organizations, universities, waste management and 
environmental restoration firms, and other interested parties. 
Representatives from DOE, the Environmental Protection Agency and state 
governments shall be ex-officio members of the board. Selection and 
appointment of group members shall be accomplished using procedures 
designed to ensure a diverse board membership and a balance of 
viewpoints. Consensus recommendations to the Department of Energy from 
the Board on pragmatic nationwide resolution of numerous difficult 
issues will help achieve the Department's objective of an integrated 
environmental restoration program.
    Additionally, the establishment of the Site Specific Advisory board 
has been determined to be compelled by considerations of health and 
safety, essential to the conduct of Department of Energy business, and 
to be in the public interest in connection with the performance of 
duties imposed on the Department of Energy by law and agreement. The 
Board will operate in accordance with the provisions of the Federal 
Advisory Committee Act, the Department of Energy Organization Act (Pub. 
L. 95-91), and rules and regulations issued in implementation of those 
Acts.
    Further information regarding this advisory board may be obtained 
from Rachel Murphy Samuel at (202) 586-3279.
