SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Section 9 (a) and (b) of the National 

Environmental Education Act of 1990 

(Pub. L. 101–619) mandates a National 

Environmental Education Advisory 

Council. The Advisory Council provides 

the Administrator with advice and 

recommendations on EPA 

implementation of the National 

Environmental Education Act. In 

general, the Act is designed to increase 

public understanding of environmental 

issues and problems, and to improve the 

training of environmental education 

professionals. EPA will achieve these 

goals, in part, by awarding grants and/ 

or establishing partnerships with other 

Federal agencies, state and local 

education and natural resource 

agencies, not-for-profit organizations, 

universities, and the private sector to 

encourage and support environmental 

education and training programs. The 

Council is also responsible for preparing 

a national biennial report to Congress 

that will describe and assess the extent 

and quality of environmental education, 

discuss major obstacles to improving 

environmental education, and identify 

the skill, education, and training needs 

for environmental professionals. 

The National Environmental 

Education Act requires that the Council 

be comprised of eleven (11) members 

appointed by the Administrator of EPA. 

Members represent a balance of 

perspectives, professional 

qualifications, and experience. The Act 

specifies that members must represent 

the following sectors: primary and 

secondary education (one of whom shall 

be a classroom teacher)—two members; 

colleges and universities—two 

members; business and industry-two 

members; non profit organizations 

involved in environmental education—

two members; state departments of 

education and natural resources—one 

member each; senior Americans-one 

member. Members are chosen to 

represent various geographic regions of 

the country, and the Council strives for 

a diverse representation. The 

professional backgrounds of Council 

members should include education, 

science, policy, or other appropriate 

disciplines. Each member of the Council 

shall hold office for a one (1) to three 

(3) year period. Members are expected
