SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) invites 
nominations to fill vacancies on the National Advisory Council for 
Environmental Policy and Technology (NACEPT). The Agency seeks 
qualified senior-level decision makers from diverse sectors throughout 
the United States to be considered for appointments. EPA encourages

    Background: NACEPT is a federal advisory committee chartered under 
the Federal Advisory Committee Act, Public Law 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 policy issues. NACEPT also serves as a sounding board for 
new initiatives that EPA is developing. For FY 06 and FY 07, the 
Administrator has asked NACEPT to address issues relating to 
sustainable water infrastructure, environmental stewardship, 
cooperative conservation, and energy and the environment. Members are 
appointed by the Administrator of EPA for two year terms with the 
possibility of reappointment. The Council usually meets 3 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 provides reimbursement for travel expenses 
associated with official government business. Potential candidates 
should possess the following qualifications:
     Occupy a senior position within their organization.
     Have broad experience outside of their current position.
     Demonstrate experience dealing with public policy issues.
     Have membership in broad-based networks.
     Have extensive experience in the environmental field.
     Be knowledgeable in the subject matter(s) to be addressed 
by NACEPT.

EPA is seeking nominees for representation from all sectors, including 
academia, industry, non-governmental organizations, and state, local 
and tribal governments. EPA seeks nominations from a wide variety of 
interested parties that reflect the diversity of the American public. 
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.
