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

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 community-based approach to 
environmental management.
    The Ecosystems Information and Assessments Committee will 
concentrate on specific information and assessment issues required to 
support a successful community-based approach to environmental 
management. These issues will include discussion of the role of EPA in 
information access and dissemination to support community-based 
environmental management; discussion of information technologies 
available to support community-based environmental management; and 
discussion of the role of science in support of community-based 
environmental management; and discussion of appropriate methodologies 
in support of community-based environmental 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, no later than Sept. 
1, 1995. 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 Wednesday, September 
13, 1995, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and on Thursday, September 14, 1995, 
from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. On both days the meeting will be held at the 
Dupont Plaza Hotel, 1500 New Hampshire Ave. N.W., Washington, D.C. 
20036.
