Notice of Open Meeting of the Alternative Financing Workgroup of 
the Environmental Financial Advisor Board on April 25,1995

    The Alternative Financing Workgroup of the Environmental Financial 
Advisory Board (EFAB) will hold an open workgroup meeting on fee system 
options for raising revenue to finance water and wastewater 
infrastructure. The meeting is scheduled for April 25, 1995 in Ballroom

    EFAB is chartered with providing authoritative analysis and advice 
to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on environmental finance 
issues. The purpose of the workgroup meeting is to take comments on a 
draft options paper on fee systems for raising revenue to finance water 
and wastewater infrastructure. The scope of the study includes national 
and state fees, collection and delivery mechanisms, and state fees, 
collection and delivery mechanisms, and eligibilities. This paper is 
being prepared in response to a congressional request for an evaluation 
of alternative financing options in EPA's FY 95 appropriations bill. A 
critical part of the development process is to solicit and consider 
public comment. This is the first of several meetings serving that 
purpose.
    The draft options paper is being developed by the Environmental 
Finance Center (EFC) of the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public 
Affairs at Syracuse University. The draft will be 
[[Page 7198]] available in early April for public review before the 
meeting.
    At the meeting on April 25, 1995, a brief presentation of the draft 
options will be followed by a panel discussion. The workgroup will then 
take comments from the public on the options presented.
    All interested parties who wish to have a copy of the draft options 
paper should contact the Syracuse University EFC in the Executive 
Education Department. Please call Ronda Garlow at (315) 443-5612. Those
