SUMMARY: Under the Federal Advisory Committee Act, Public Law 92463, 
EPA gives notice of a meeting of the Good Neighbor Environmental Board 
(Board). The Board meets three times each calendar year, twice at 
different locations along the U.S. border with Mexico, and once in 
Washington, DC. It was created in 1992 by the Enterprise for the

Implementing authority was delegated to the Administrator of EPA under

side of the border. The statute calls for the Board to have 
representatives from U.S. Government agencies; the states of Arizona, 
California, New Mexico and Texas; and tribal and private organizations 
with expertise on environmental and infrastructure issues along the 
U.S./Mexico Border.
    The purpose of the meeting is to hear from representatives from 
various groups on possible themes for the Board's next report. The 
meeting will include a planning session, a business meeting and a 
public comment session. A copy of the meeting agenda will be posted at
