Interagency Task Force (IATF). The Board conducts business in 
accordance with FACA and related regulations.

in her capacity as IATF Chair. Members serve as representatives of 
state, local and tribal government, environmental groups, agriculture, 
business, transportation, foundations, educational institutions, and as

    The Board held teleconferences and meetings in 2013 to develop
