(Board). The Board meets three times each calendar year, twice at
different locations along the U.S. border with Mexico, and once in
Washington, DC. It was created in 1992 by the Enterprise for the
Americas Initiative Act, Public Law 102-532,7 U.S.C. 5404. Implementing
authority was delegated to the Administrator of EPA under Executive
Order 12916. 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 States of Arizona, California New
Mexico and Texas; and Tribal and private organizations to provide
advice on environmental and infrastructure issues along the U.S./Mexico
Border.
The purpose of the meeting is to continue discussion and drafting
the Board's 13th report. Presentations will also be heard on regional
planning, water, and air quality issues along the Ambos Nogales Region.
The meeting will include a planning session, a business meeting and a
