Background
The Good Neighbor Environmental Board was created by the Enterprise
for the Americans Initiative Act of 1992. An Executive Order delegates
implementing authority to the Administrator of EPA. 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
governments of the States of Arizona, California, New Mexico and Texas;
and private organizations with expertise on environmental and
infrastructure problems along the southwest border. The Board meets
three times annually, primarily in various border locations. The U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency gives notice of this meeting of the
Good Neighbor Environmental Board pursuant to the Federal Advisory
Committee Act (Pub. L. 92-463).
