National Advisory Council for 

Environmental Policy and Technology 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Request for nominations to the 

National Advisory Council for 

Environmental Policy and Technology 

(NACEPT). 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) invites 

nominations from a diverse range of 

qualified candidates representing tribal 

governments and communities to be 

considered for appointment to the 

National Advisory Council for 

Environmental Policy and Technology 

(NACEPT). Vacancies are anticipated to 

be filled by February, 2014. Sources in 

addition to this Federal Register Notice 

may be utilized in the solicitation of 

nominees. 

Background: NACEPT is a federal 

advisory committee chartered under the 

Federal Advisory Committee Act 

(FACA), Public Law 92–463. EPA 

established NACEPT in 1988 to provide 

advice to the EPA Administrator on a 

broad range of environmental policy, 

management and technology issues. 

Members serve as representatives from 

academia, industry, non-governmental 

organizations, and state, local, and tribal 

governments. Members are appointed by 

the EPA Administrator for two year 

terms. The Council usually meets 2–3 

times annually face-to-face or via video/ 

teleconference and the average 

workload for the members is 

approximately 10 to 15 hours per 

month. Members serve on the Council 

in a voluntary capacity. However, EPA 

provides reimbursement for travel and 

incidental expenses associated with 

official government business. EPA is 

seeking nominations from candidates 

representing tribal governments/ 

communities. Within these sectors, EPA 

is seeking nominees with knowledge in 

community sustainability, public health 

and health disparities, land use and 

sustainable development, green jobs and 

economic initiatives, energy, and 

environmental financing. 

Nominees will be considered 

according to the mandates of FACA, 

which requires committees to maintain 

diversity across a broad range of 

constituencies, sectors, and groups. EPA 

values and welcomes diversity. In an 

effort to obtain nominations of diverse 

candidates, EPA encourages 

nominations of women and men of all 

racial and ethnic groups, as well as 

geographic locale. 

The following criteria will be used to 

evaluate nominees: 

—Professional knowledge of 

environmental policy, management, 

and technology issues, particularly 

issues dealing with all facets of 

sustainability. 

—Demonstrated ability to assess and 

analyze environmental challenges 

with objectivity and integrity. 

—Middle/Senior-level leadership 

experience that fills a current need on 

the Council. 

—Excellent interpersonal, oral and 

written communication, and 

consensus-building skills. 

—Ability to volunteer approximately 10 

to 15 hours per month to the 

Council’s activities, including 

participation on video/teleconference 

meetings and preparation of text for 

Council reports and advice letters.

NACEPT, we will need the following 

items to process your nomination 

package: 

Nominations must include a brief 

statement of interest, resume, 

curriculum vitae, or a short biography 

(no more than two paragraphs)

committees. The statement of interest, 

resume, curriculum vitae, or short 

biography should include the 

candidate’s name, name and address of 

current organization, position title, 

email address, and daytime telephone 

number(s). In preparing your statement

will bring value to the work of the 

committee, and how these qualifications 

would contribute to the overall diversity 

of the Council. Also, be sure to describe

Agency through employment, grant 

funding and/or contracting sources.

of a specific entity or group (such as an 

industry sector, state or local 

government, environmental groups, etc.)

under the committee’s charge. 

The nomination package should also 

include a separate recommendation 

letter from a third party supporting your
