Advisory Board Reestablishment

    Pursuant to Section 14(a)(2)(A) of the Federal Advisory Committee 
Act (Pub. L. No. 92-463), and in accordance with Title 41 of the Code 
of Federal Regulations, section 102-3.65(a), and following consultation 
with the Committee Management Secretariat, General Services 
Administration, notice is hereby given that the Environmental 
Management Advisory Board has been reestablished for a two-year period 
beginning in March 2004. The Board will provide advice to the Assistant 
Secretary for Environmental Management.
    The Board provides the Assistant Secretary for Environmental 
Management with information and strategic advice on corporate issues, 
with a focus on achieving closure of selected sites by 2006. It 
recommends options to resolve difficult issues faced in the 
Environmental Management program including: contracts and acquisition 
strategies, public and worker health and safety, integration and 
disposition of waste, regulatory agreements, roles and authorities, 
risk based end-state activities and risk reduction, cost-benefit 
analyses, program performance and functionality, and science 
requirements and applications. Consensus recommendations to the 
Department of Energy from the Board on programmatic nationwide 
resolution of numerous difficult issues will help achieve the 
Department's objective of the safe and efficient cleanup of its 
contaminated sites.
    Additionally, the reestablishment of the Environmental Management 
Advisory Board has been determined to be essential to the conduct of 
Department of Energy business and to be in the public interest in 
connection with the performance of duties imposed on the Department of 
Energy by law and agreement. The Board will operate in accordance with 
the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act, and rules and 
regulations issued in implementation of that Act.
