Message Workgroup--focused on performance measurement and evaluation of 
sector-based projects/programs, and communication of the payoff and 
potential for sector-based approaches. Public comment at the plenary 
session is planned for 2:45pm on May 11th. A final Agenda can be

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NACEPT is a federal advisory committee under 
the Federal Advisory Committee Act, PL 92463. NACEPT provides advice 
and recommendations to the Administrator and other EPA officials on a 
broad range of domestic and international environmental policy issues. 
NACEPT consists of a representative cross-section of EPA's partners and 
principal constituents who provide advice and recommendations on policy 
issues and serve as a sounding board for new strategies that the Agency 
is developing.
    In follow-up to completion of work by EPA's Common Sense Initiative 
(CSI) Council, the Administrator asked NACEPT to create a Standing 
Committee on Sectors. This Committee began its work in March 1999 and 
provides a multi-stakeholder forum through which the Agency can 
continue to receive advice and recommendations on sector-based 
approaches to environmental protection. (A sector is generally defined 
a discrete production system of the economy, e.g., petroleum refining, 
printing, metal finishing.) Further information on sectors is available 
electronically on our web site at http.//www.epa.gov/sectors.
    For further information concerning the NACEPT Standing Committee on 
Sectors, including the upcoming meeting, contact Kathleen Bailey, 
Designated Federal Officer (DFO), on (202) 260-3413, or E-mail:
