National Environmental Justice Advisory Council

Resumo

As required by the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), we are giving notice of the first National Environmental Justice Advisory Council (NEJAC) meeting. This meeting is open to the public. The purpose of the meeting is to introduce EPA's objectives and goals to the Council and to lay the foundation for the Council's future work. Among the issues that will be presented in this meeting are: the viewpoints and expertise of the members of the Council, the history and background of environmental justice, EPA's environmental justice draft strategic action document, the President's environmental justice executive order, and administrative information regarding the Federal Advisory Committee Act. Because this is the first meeting of the Council, EPA expects that this meeting will focus on the Council's advisory role.
