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.
