SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NACEPT is a federal advisory committee under 
the Federal Advisory Committee Act, PL 92463. NACEPT provides advice 
and recommendations to the Administrator of EPA on a broad range of 
environmental policy issues. The Administrator has asked NACEPT to 
concentrate on how long-term ecological, economic, and social needs can 
be integrated to achieve a community-based approach to environmental 
management. Maintaining balance and diversity of experience, knowledge, 
and judgment is an important consideration in the selection of members.
    The following three NACEPT committees were formed in FY'95 and 
[[Page 28609]] will continue to examine different aspects of the 
Agency's community-based approach to environmental protection in FY'96.
     The Information and Assessments Committee is examining the 
availability, access, and use of environmental information in support 
of a community-based approach to environmental protection, as well as 
examining current environmental assessment processes to determine 
success factors.
     The Implementation Tools Committee is evaluating 
opportunities for EPA to reorient the use of its existing statutory and 
regulatory authorities to integrate a community-based approach to 
environmental protection into the Agency's decision-making process.
     The Sustainable Economies Committee is examining the 
defining elements of sustainable economies and opportunities for 
harmonizing environmental policy, economic activity, and ecosystem 
management.
    NACEPT comprises a representative cross-section of EPA's partners 
and constituents in order to gain insights and perspectives from all 
interested parties. As these committees continue their work and to 
maintain a good balance of capabilities on the committees, nominations 
for additional membership are being solicited for all committees and 
NACEPT's executive committee.
    EPA is seeking nominees for representation from all sectors, 
especially state and local planning agencies, industry, tribal 
organizations, environmental NGOs, and community organizations 
currently engaged in community-based environmental protection.
    Nominations for membership must include a resume and short 
biography describing the educational and professional qualifications of 
the nominee and the nominee's current business address and daytime 
telephone number.
