SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NACEPT is a federal advisory committee under
the Federal Advisory Committee Act, PL 92463. NACEPT consists of a
representative cross-section of EPA's partners and principle
constituents who provide advice and recommendations to the
Administrator and other EPA officials on a broad range of domestic and
international environmental policy issues.
    The Standing Committee on Sectors, a subcommittee of NACEPT, has
existed for two years and provides a federal advisory forum from which
the Agency can continue to receive valuable multi-stakeholder advise
and recommendations on the use of industry sector-based approaches to
environmental protection. The Standing Committee on Sectors and NACEPT
recently endorsed the EPA Sector Program Plan 2001-2005, and provided
EPA's Administrator with six additional recommendations to foster
implementation of the Plan. The vision statement in the Plan is: ``EPA
Leadership Enables Environmental Excellence by U.S. Industries--Over
the next five years, better understanding and cooperation among
industry, government, and citizen stakeholders will help large numbers
of facilities in a variety of industrial sectors make continuous
improvement toward environmental excellence. Stakeholder-supported
environmental strategies for industry sectors will bring marked
reductions in pollution, waste, environmental and human health impacts,
and regulatory burden.'' The Sector Program Plan 2001-2005, and other
relevant information is available on EPA's web site www.epa.gov/
sectors.
    We are accepting nominations for approximately 15-18 members.
Criteria for selection will include the following:

--Representatives from workgroups of the Standing Committee on Sectors
which have continuing projects, i.e. printing, petroleum, and metal
finishing.
--Representatives from a broad range of EPA stakeholder groups which
have an interest and experience in dealing with sector issues, e.g.
business/industry, state/local/tribal governments, national and local
environmental, environmental justice, and labor groups.
--Senior level representatives with decision-making authority for their
organization.
--Representatives with experience working collaboratively with
stakeholder groups in addition to their own.
