SUMMARY: Under the Federal Advisory Committee Act, Public Law 92463,

California, New Mexico and Texas; tribal representation; and a variety 
of non-governmental officials. The purpose of this meeting is to hear 
presentations on local environmental issues as well as the theme 
selected for the Board's Twelfth Report: Innovation, including 
Incentives, to Prevent/Reduce Pollution at the U.S.-Mexico Border. The 
meeting also will include a public comment session and a business 
meeting on the second day. A copy of the meeting agenda will be posted
