Notice of Request for Nominations of Candidates to the Environmental Financial Advisory Board

Samenvatting

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) invites nominations of qualified candidates to be considered for appointment to the Environmental Financial Advisory Board (the Board or EFAB). The Board provides advice to EPA on ways to lower the costs of, and increase investments in, environmental and public health protection. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (signed November 2021) provides funding to EPA that includes more than $50 billion for clean water projects, more than $5 billion for Superfund and brownfields cleanup work, $5 billion for decarbonizing our nation's school buses, and $100 million for pollution prevention. Board members will provide recommendations on ways EPA can implement these funds to advance environmental justice, tackle the climate crisis, and protect public health. Appointments will be made by the Administrator and will be announced in June 2022.
