SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 

21, 2023, President Biden signed 

Executive Order (E.O.) 14096 to 

revitalize our nation’s commitment to 

environmental justice for all.1 As set 

forth in section 2 of E.O. 14096, 

‘‘Environmental justice’’ means the just 

treatment and meaningful involvement 

of all people, regardless of income, race, 

color, national origin, Tribal affiliation, 

or disability, in agency decision-making 

and other Federal activities that affect 

human health and the environment so 

that people: (i) are fully protected from 

disproportionate and adverse human 

health and environmental effects 

(including risks) and hazards, including 

those related to climate change, the 

cumulative impacts of environmental 

and other burdens, and the legacy of 

racism or other structural or systemic 

barriers; and (ii) have equitable access to 

a healthy, sustainable, and resilient 

environment in which to live, play, 

work, learn, grow, worship, and engage 

in cultural and subsistence practices. 

To address the need for a coordinated 

Federal strategy to identify and address 

gaps in science, data, and research 

related to environmental justice, Section 

5 of E.O. 14096 directs the Director of 

the Office of Science and Technology 

Policy (OSTP) to establish an 

Environmental Justice Subcommittee of 

the National Science and Technology 

Council (Environmental Justice 

Subcommittee). As directed by the E.O., 

the Environmental Justice 

Subcommittee is preparing an 

Environmental Justice Science, Data, 

and Research Plan (Research Plan) to: 

(A) analyze any gaps and 

inadequacies in data collection and 

scientific research related to 

environmental justice, with a focus on 

gaps and inadequacies that may affect 

agencies’ ability to advance 

environmental justice, including 

through the Environmental Justice 

Strategic Plans required under section 4 

of E.O. 14096; 

(B) identify opportunities for agencies 

to coordinate with the research efforts of 

State, Tribal, territorial, and local 

governments; academic institutions; 

communities; the private sector; the 

non-profit sector; and other relevant 

actors to accelerate the development of 

data, research, and techniques— 

including consideration of Indigenous 

Knowledge—to address gaps and 

inadequacies in data collection and 

scientific research that may affect 

agencies’ ability to advance 

environmental justice; 

(C) provide recommendations to 

agencies on the development and use of 

science, data, and research to support 

environmental justice policy and the 

agency responsibilities outlined in 

section 3 of the E.O.; 

(D) provide recommendations to the 

Chair of the White House Council on 

Environmental Quality (CEQ) on data 

sources to include in the Climate and 

Economic Justice Screening Tool 

established pursuant to section 222(a) of 

Executive Order 14008; 

(E) provide recommendations to 

agencies on ethical standards, privacy 

protections, and other requirements for 

the development and use of science, 

data, and research addressed in the 

Research Plan, including 

recommendations with respect to
