Good Neighbor Environmental Board

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of meeting.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    Background: 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. The statute calls for the Board to 
have representatives from U.S. Government agencies; the States of 
Arizona, California, New Mexico and Texas; tribal representation; and a 
variety of non-governmental officials.
    Purpose: One purpose of this meeting is to obtain feedback on the 
theme of the Board's Tenth Report, which is on the intersection of 
border security and the environment. Another purpose is to obtain early 
input on the theme selected for its Eleventh Report, natural hazards 
and the environment. The meeting also will include a strategic planning 
session, a business meeting, and a public comment session. It will be 
preceded by a public press conference to launch the Tenth Report. A 
copy of the meeting agenda will be posted at http://www.epa.gov/ocem/gneb.

on Tuesday, March 13, from 9 a.m. (registration at 8:30 a.m.) to 5:30
