SUMMARY: Under the Federal Advisory Committee Act, P.L. 92463, EPA 
gives notice of a meeting of the Good Neighbor Environmental Board. The 
Board meets three times each calendar year at different locations along 
the U.S.-Mexico border and in Washington, DC. It was created by the 
Enterprise for the Americas Initiative Act of 1992. An Executive Order 
delegates implementing authority to the Administrator of EPA. The Board 
is responsible for providing advice to the President and the 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 purpose of the 
meeting is to discuss the recommendations of the Board's 9th Report on 
Air Quality and Transportation and Cultural and Natural Resources. The 
Board will also hear from speakers about the topic of its next report: 
Balancing Border Security and Environmental Protection. A copy of the 
meeting agenda will be posted at http://www.epa.gov/ocem/gneb.
