a broad range of environmental issues 

affecting local governments. The LGAC 

conducts business in accordance with 

the Federal Advisory Committee Act 

(FACA) (5 U.S.C. App. 2) and related 

regulations. 

The Committee consists of 

approximately 30 members (including a 

Chairperson) appointed by EPA’s 

Administrator. Members serve as nonfederal stakeholders representing: large 

cities, moderate-size cities; small

may be asked to participate in 

teleconference meetings or serve on 

Subcommittees and Work Groups to

letters, and reports to address specific
