National Drinking Water Advisory Council; Request For Nominations

    The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) invites all 
interested persons to nominate qualified individuals to serve a three-
year term as members of the National Drinking Water Advisory Council. 
This Advisory Council was established to provide practical and 
independent advice, consultation and recommendations to the Agency on 
the activities, functions and policies related to the implementation of 
the Safe Drinking Water Act as amended. The Council consists of fifteen 
members, including a Chair. Five members represent the general public; 
five members represent appropriate state and local agencies concerned 
with water hygiene and public water supply; and five members represent 
private organizations or groups demonstrating an active interest in the 
field of water hygiene and public water supply. On December 15 of each 
year, five members complete their appointment. Due to a declined 
appointment last year, an additional vacancy is available to fill a 
term expiring December 16, 1999, all other terms will expire in the 
Year 2001. Therefore, this notice solicits names to fill six vacancies 
occurring on December 16, 1998.
    Any interested person or organization may nominate qualified 
individuals for membership. Nominees should be identified by name, 
occupation, position, address and telephone number. To be considered, 
all nominations must include a current resume providing the nominee's 
background, experience and qualifications.
    Persons selected for membership will receive compensation for 
travel and a nominal daily compensation while attending meetings. The 
Council holds two face to face meetings each year, generally in the 
Spring and Fall. Additionally, members will be asked to serve on one of 
the Council's working groups that are formed each year to assist the 
EPA in major program issue development. These meetings are held 
approximately four times a year, with two meetings by conference call.
    Nominations should be submitted to Charlene E. Shaw, Designated
