AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of meeting.

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

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 
Americas Initiative Act, Public Law 102-532,7 U.S.C. 5404. Implementing 
authority was delegated to the Administrator of EPA under Executive 
Order 12916. The Board is responsible for providing advice to the 
President and the Congress on environmental and infrastructure issues 
and needs within the States contiguous to Mexico in order to improve 
the quality of life of persons residing on the United States 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 to provide 
advice on environmental and infrastructure issues along the U.S./Mexico 
Border.
    The purpose of the meeting is to continue discussion and drafting 
the Board's 13th report. Presentations will also be heard on regional 
planning, water, and air quality issues along the Ambos Nogales Region. 
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 
http://www.epa.gov/ocem/gneb.

on Wednesday, September 23, from 8:30 a.m. (registration at 8 a.m.) to 
5:30 p.m. The following day, September 24, the Board will hold a 
business meeting from 8 a.m. until 12 p.m. Due to logistical 
circumstances, EPA is announcing this meeting with less than 15 
calendar days public notice.

Caralampi, Rio Rico, AZ 85648, phone number: 520-281-1901. The meeting
