National Advisory Council for Environmental Policy and Technology; Ecosystems Implementation Tools Committee; Public Meeting

Under the Federal Advisory Committee Act, Public Law 92-463, EPA gives notice of a two-day meeting of the Ecosystems Implementation Tools Committee of the National Advisory Council for Environmental Policy and Technology (NACEPT). NACEPT provides advice and recommendations to the Administrator of EPA on a broad range of environmental policy issues, and this meeting is being held to discuss the Ecosystems Implementation Tools Committee agenda for the coming year. The Administrator has asked NACEPT to concentrate on ecosystem management and how long-term ecological, economic, and social needs can be integrated to achieve a place-based approach to environmental management. The Ecosystems Implementation Tools Committee will evaluate opportunities to re-orient the Agency's use of its existing authorities to integrate ecosystem management into its decision-making processes; identify incentives and barriers to promoting an ecosystems orientation or place-based approach to environmental protection; and identify opportunities for partnership-building with other federal agencies as well as co-regulators at the state, local, tribal levels.
