people's health and safety, help create good-paying jobs, and increase 
climate resilience throughout the country.
    As EPA works to implement the BIL, EPA has asked the SCAS for their 
input on how the Agency can best:
     Support clean and sustainable air, water, and land 
priorities for small and rural communities.
     Support capacity needs/advancement for small and rural 
communities.
     Ensure long-lasting communication between EPA and local 
officials from small and rural communities.
     Ensure small communities are positioned to benefit from 
this generational investment in environmental infrastructure.
    During this meeting the SCAS will deliberate initial 
recommendations for the charge questions noted above.

SCAS will hear comments from the public from 2:05-2:15 p.m. (EDT).
