decision makers from diverse sectors throughout the United States to be 
considered for appointments. EPA encourages interested applicants to 
send their resumes and qualifications as soon as possible.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NACEPT is a federal advisory committee under 
the Federal Advisory Committee Act, PL 92463. The U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency established NACEPT in 1988 to provide independent 
advice to the EPA Administrator on a broad range of environmental 
policy, technology and management issues. NACEPT consists of a 
representative cross-section of EPA's partners, stakeholders, and 
constituents who provide timely advice and recommendations on 
environmental issues, and serve as a sounding board for new strategies 
that EPA is developing.
    We anticipate the Council addressing issues related to 
environmental technology, environmental foresight, and collaborative 
approaches to environmental problems. NACEPT will provide advice in a 
timely manner and operate as a proactive and strategic body that will 
alert EPA to potential environmental challenges and issues that could 
impact the Agency's ability to protect public health and the 
environment, and options to address them.
    Members are appointed by the Administrator of EPA for two year 
terms with the possibility of reappointment. The Council usually meets 
3-4 times annually and the average workload for the members is 
approximately 10 to 15 hours per month. Members serve on the Council in 
a voluntary capacity; however, EPA does provide reimbursement for 
travel expenses associated with official government business.
    Maintaining a balance and diversity of expertise, knowledge, and 
judgement is an important consideration in the selection of members. 
Potential candidates should possess the following qualifications:

Occupy a senior position within their organization
Broad experience outside of their current position
Experience dealing with public policy issues
Membership in broad-based networks
Extensive experience in the environmental field

    Recognized expert in the subject matter to be addressed by NACEPT
    EPA is seeking nominees for representation from all sectors, in 
particular federal, state, local and tribal agencies, academia, 
industry, environmental justice, and non-governmental organizations. 
Nominations for membership must include a resume and short biography 
describing the educational and professional qualifications of the 
nominee and the nominee's current business address and daytime 
telephone number.

    Dated: May 6, 2004.
Sonia Altieri,
