SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NACEPT is a federal advisory committee under 
the Federal Advisory Committee Act, Pub. L. 92463. NACEPT provides 
advice and recommendations to the Administrator and other EPA officials 
on a broad range of domestic and international environmental policy 
issues. NACEPT consists of a representative cross-section of EPA's 
partners and principle constituents who provide advice and 
recommendations on policy issues and serve as a sounding board for new 
strategies that the Agency is developing.
    In follow-up to completion of work by EPA's Common Sense Initiative 
(CSI) Council, the Administrator has asked NACEPT to create a new 
Standing Committee on Sectors. This will provide a continuing Federal 
Advisory Committee forum from which the Agency can continue to receive 
valuable multi-stakeholder advise and recommendations on sector 
approaches.
    Based on the lessons learned in CSI and many other sector based 
programs, the Agency has developed a Sector Based Environmental 
Protection Action Plan to reinforce and expand sector based approaches 
to achieving environmental results. The Standing Committee on Sectors 
will, through NACEPT (the Council): (1) Continue to support the on-
going CSI work, (2) support the implementation of the Action Plan, as 
noted above, and (3) serve as a vehicle to get stakeholder reaction and 
input on sector based issues in a timely way.
    For further information concerning this NACEPT Standing Committee 
on Sectors meeting, contact Kathleen Bailey, Designated Federal 
Officer, on (202) 260-7417, or E-mail: [email protected].
