    Background: The Good Neighbor Environmental Board meets three times

It was created by the Enterprise for the Americans Initiative Act of 
1992. An Executive Order delegates implementing authority to the 
Administrator of EPA. The Board is responsible for providing advice to 
the U.S. President and Congress on environmental and infrastructure 
issues and needs within the States contiguous to Mexico in order to 
improve the quality of life of persons residing on the United States 
side of the border. The statute calls for the Board to have 
representatives from U.S. Government agencies; the governments of the 
States of Arizona, California, New Mexico and Texas; and private 
organizations with expertise on environmental and infrastructure 
problems along the southwest border. The U.S. Environmental Protection 
Agency gives notice of this meeting of the Good Neighbor Environmental 
Board pursuant to the Federal Advisory Committee Act (Public Law 92-
463).

    Dated: February 1, 2002.
Elaine M. Koerner,
Designated Federal Officer.
