DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY


Office of Environmental Management; Environmental Management 
Site-Specific Advisory Board; Notice of Renewal

    Pursuant to Section 14(a)(2)(A) of the Federal Advisory Committee 
Act (Pub. L. 92-463), and in accordance with title 41 of the Code of 
Federal Regulations, Section 101-6.1015(a), and following consultation 
with the Committee Management Secretariat, General Services 
Administration, notice is hereby given that the Environmental 
Management Site-Specific Advisory Board has been renewed for a two-year 
period beginning May 16, 2000.
    The purpose of the Board is to provide the Assistant Secretary for 
Environmental Management with advice and recommendations on 
environmental management projects and issues such as future use, risk 
management, transportation, long-term stewardship, and budget 
prioritization activities, from the perspective of affected groups and 
State and local government. Board membership will reflect the full 
diversity of views in the affected community and region and be composed 
primarily of people who are directly affected by Department of Energy 
(DOE) site cleanup activities. Members will include potentially 
affected and interested stakeholders from local government, Indian 
Tribes, environmental and civic groups, labor organizations, 
universities, waste management and environmental restoration firms, and 
other interested parties. Representatives from the DOE, the 
Environmental Protection Agency, and State governments will be ex-
officio members of the Board. Selection and appointment of Board 
members will be accomplished using procedures designed to ensure 
diverse membership and a balance of viewpoints. Consensus 
recommendations to the DOE from the Board on the resolution of numerous 
and difficult issues will help achieve DOE's objective of an integrated 
environmental management program.
    The Secretary of Energy has determined that renewal of the 
Environmental Management Site-Specific Advisory Board is necessary in 
order to conduct DOE's business and is in the public interest. The 
Board will operate in accordance with the provisions of the Federal 
Advisory Committee Act, and the rules and regulations issued in the 
implementation of those acts.
    Further information regarding this advisory board may be obtained 
from Rachel M. Samuel at (202) 586-3279.

    Issued in Washington DC on May 16, 2000.

Advisory Committee Management Officer.
