sector-based projects/programs, and communication of the payoff and 
potential for sector-based approaches. Public comment at the plenary

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NACEPT is a federal advisory committee under 
the Federal Advisory Committee Act, PL 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 
principal 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 asked NACEPT to create a Standing 
Committee on Sectors. This Committee began its work in March 1999 and 
provides a multi-stakeholder forum through which the Agency can 
continue to receive advice and recommendations on sector-based 
approaches to environmental protection. (A sector is generally defined 
a discrete production system of the economy, e.g., petroleum refining, 
printing, metal finishing.) Further information on sectors is available 
electronically on our web site at http.//www.epa.gov/sectors.
    For further information concerning the NACEPT Standing Committee on 
Sectors, including the upcoming meeting, contact Kathleen Bailey, 
Designated Federal Officer (DFO), on (202) 260-3413, or E-mail: 
[email protected].
    Inspection of Subcommittee Documents: Documents relating to the 
above topics will be publicly available at the meeting. Thereafter, key 
documents and the minutes of the meeting will be available 
electronically on the web site, or by calling the DFO.

    Dated: April 20, 2000.
