SUMMARY: Under the Federal Advisory Committee Act, Public Law 92-463, 
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 hold a public 
comment session and also to hear presentations from local experts on 
the topic of its next report to the President: ``Environmental 
Protection and Border Security on the U.S. Border with Mexico.'' A copy 
of the meeting agenda will be posted at http://www.epa.gov/ocem/gneb.
