SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NACEPT is a federal advisory committee under 
the Federal Advisory Committee Act, PL 92463. NACEPT consists of a 
representative cross-section of EPA's partners and principle 
constituents who provide advice and recommendations to the 
Administrator and other EPA officials on a broad range of domestic and 
international environmental policy issues.
    The Standing Committee on Sectors, a subcommittee of NACEPT, has 
existed for two years and provides a federal advisory forum from which 
the Agency can continue to receive valuable multi-stakeholder advise 
and recommendations on the use of industry sector-based approaches to 
environmental protection. The Standing Committee on Sectors and NACEPT 
recently endorsed the EPA Sector Program Plan 2001-2005, and provided 
EPA's Administrator with six additional recommendations to foster 
implementation of the Plan. The vision statement in the Plan is: ``EPA 
Leadership Enables Environmental Excellence by U.S. Industries--Over 
the next five years, better understanding and cooperation among 
industry, government, and citizen stakeholders will help large numbers 
of facilities in a variety of industrial sectors make continuous 
improvement toward environmental excellence. Stakeholder-supported 
environmental strategies for industry sectors will bring marked 
reductions in pollution, waste, environmental and human health impacts, 
and regulatory burden.'' The Sector Program Plan 2001-2005, and other 
relevant information is available on EPA's web site www.epa.gov/sectors.
    We are accepting nominations for approximately 15-18 members. 
Criteria for selection will include the following:

--Representatives from workgroups of the Standing Committee on Sectors 
which have continuing projects, i.e. printing, petroleum, and metal 
finishing.
--Representatives from a broad range of EPA stakeholder groups which 
have an interest and experience in dealing with sector issues, e.g. 
business/industry, state/local/tribal governments, national and local 
environmental, environmental justice, and labor groups.
--Senior level representatives with decision-making authority for their 
organization.
--Representatives with experience working collaboratively with 
stakeholder groups in addition to their own.

    Nominations will be accepted until close of business on February 
15, 2001, and need to include a resume or short biography describing
