Local Government Advisory Committee

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Request for Nominations to the Local Government Advisory 
Committee (LGAC).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) invites 
nominations from a diverse range of qualified candidates to be 
considered for appointment to its Local Government Advisory Committee 
(LGAC). Vacancies are anticipated to be filled by January 2010. Sources 
in addition to this Federal Register Notice may also be utilized in the 
solicitation of nominees.
    Background: The LGAC is a federal advisory committee chartered 
under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), Public Law 92-463. EPA 
established the LGAC in 1993 to provide independent advice to the EPA 
Administrator on a broad range of environmental issues affecting local 
government. Members serve as local elected and appointed officials 
representing: counties, cities, and other local governments; small 
communities; tribal governments; and state governments. Members are 
appointed by the EPA Administrator for two year terms with the 
possibility of reappointment to a second term. The LGAC usually meets 
2-3 times annually and the average workload for the members is 
approximately 5 to 10 hours per month. EPA provides reimbursement for 
travel and other incidental expenses associated with official 
government business. EPA is seeking nominations from mayors, city 
council members, county commissioners and executives, city managers, 
small town officials, public works and environmental directors, tribal 
governments, and state officials including legislators and 
environmental directors. Nominees will be considered according to the 
mandates of FACA, which requires committees to maintain diversity 
across a broad range of constituencies, sectors, interests, and groups. 
EPA strongly encourages nominations from women and minorities.
    The following criteria will be used to evaluate nominees:

--Experience serving as an elected official;
--Experience serving as an appointed official for a state, county, city 
or tribe;
--Experience in working at the national level on local governments 
issues;
--Demonstrated experience with environmental and sustainability issues;
--Executive management level experience with membership in broad-based 
networks;
--Excellent interpersonal, oral and written communication, and 
consensus-building skills.

--Ability to volunteer time to attend meetings 2-3 times a year,

the Administrator or other senior-level officials, develop policy 
recommendations to the Administrator, and prepare reports and advice 
letters. Nominations must include a resume and a short biography
