AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of meeting.

SUMMARY: Under the Federal Advisory Committee Act, Public Law 92-463,
EPA gives notice of a meeting of the Good Neighbor Environmental Board
(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
US/Mexico Border.
    The purpose of the meeting is to discuss environment priorities in
the border region and to form workgroups that will begin drafting the
Board's next report. The meeting will include a planning session, a
business meeting and a public comment session. A copy of the meeting
agenda will be posted at http://www.epa.gov/ocem/gneb.
