SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Federal Advisory Committee Act to 

provide advice and recommendations to 

EPA on the following issues: Reducing 

the cost of financing environmental 

facilities and discouraging polluting 

behavior; creating incentives to increase 

private investment in the provision of 

environmental services and removing or 

reducing constraints on private 

involvement imposed by current 

regulations; developing new and 

innovative environmental financing 

approaches and supporting and 

encouraging the use of cost-effective 

existing approaches; identifying 

approaches specifically targeted to 

small/disadvantaged community 

financing; increasing the capacity of 

state and local governments to carry out 

their respective environmental programs 

under current Federal tax laws; 

analyzing how new technologies can be 

brought to market expeditiously; and, 

increasing the total investment in 

environmental protection of public and 

private environmental resources to help 

ease the environmental financing 

challenge facing our nation. 

The Board meets two times each 

calendar year (two days per meeting) at 

different locations within the

members typically contribute 

approximately 1–3 hours per month to 

the Board’s work. The Board’s

range of representatives from diverse
