SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The mission of the Environmental Management 
Advisory Board (EMAB) is to provide independent and external advice, 
information, and recommendations to the Assistant Secretary for 
Environmental Management (EM) on corporate issues relating to 
accelerated site cleanup and risk reduction.
    The Board works to identify applicable private and public sector 
best management practices and provides counsel on how to integrate them 
into the EM program. The Board works with the private sector to 
identify barriers to the effective execution of the Assistant 
Secretary's program objectives and facilitates discussions between the 
department, private industry and the public for knowledge sharing. EMAB 
provides strategic management advice on where and how to focus the 
program's resources to achieve maximum impact and greatest risk 
reduction.
    EMAB's activities are governed by the Federal Advisory Committee 
Act (FACA), which was enacted to ensure that the general public has 
access to advisory board deliberations and recommendations.
    The membership of EMAB includes individuals from governmental and 
non-governmental entities, private industry, and scientific and 
academic communities. Members are sought in all professional fields 
related to Environmental Management programs and specifically 
groundwater remediation, soil remediation, and adaptive management.
    Members are appointed for two-year terms. The Board typically meets 
twice a year in-person and as needed, virtually. Members serve on an 
uncompensated, volunteer basis. However, committee members are paid 
authorized travel and per diem for each meeting that requires travel. 
Each nominee must submit their resume and biography along with any 
letters of support by the deadline above. All nominees will be vetted 
before selection.
    Nominations are open to all individuals without regard to race, 
color, religion, sex, national origin, age, mental or physical 
handicap, marital status, or sexual orientation.
    Appointments to the Environmental Management Advisory Board will be 
made by the Secretary of Energy.
