• Bolstering resilience to the impacts of 

climate change; 

• Developing capacity for technical 

assistance at the local level; 

• Supporting local governments in the 

assessment and remediation of PFAS 

chemicals and other emerging 

contaminants. 

• Advancing the EPA’s 2022–2026 

Strategic Plan 

Viable candidates must be current 

elected officials representing local, state, 

tribal, or territorial governments or 

officials who have been appointed 

directly by a local, state, tribal, or 

territorial elected official. Preference 

will be given to qualified candidates 

who demonstrate experience developing 

and implementing environmental 

programs consistent with the 2025 

topics listed above. To maintain 

geographical diversity of the Committee, 

preference for LGAC membership may 

also be given to qualified candidates 

from tribal or territorial governments. 

Additional criteria to be considered 

may include: experience with multisector partnerships; coalition-building 

and grassroots involvement; 

involvement and leadership in national, 

state or regional intergovernmental 

associations; and diversity in 

vocational/career/volunteer background. 

Time Commitment 

New LGAC members are appointed 

for one-year terms and are eligible for 

reappointment for one- or two-year 

terms for up to six years. In 2025, the 

Committee plans to hold two or three 

full-day, public meetings, where both 

in-person and online participation 

options will be available. 

In addition to public meetings, 

workgroups will be created to address 

the 2025 topics noted above, as well as 

any emerging issues. Members will be 

encouraged to serve on one or more 

workgroups, where they will be asked to 

share their experiences working on an 

issue, recommend experts on an issue 

for the Committee to consult with, 

debate the nuances of policy 

implementation, and review written 

recommendations before they are shared 

with the full Committee. Applicants 

should plan to spend an average of three 

hours per month on Committee work. 

While EPA is unable to provide 

compensation for services, official 

Committee travel and related expenses 

(lodging, etc.) will be fully reimbursed. 

Nominations 

Nominations must be submitted in 

electronic format. To be considered, all 

nominations should be completed using 

the application at this link: https://

forms.gle/TB8ehr4iJFWG4kGZ6. 

Other sources, in addition to this 

Federal Register notice, may be utilized 

in the solicitation of nominees. EPA 

expressly values diversity, equity, and 

inclusion, and encourages the 

nominations of elected and appointed 

officials from diverse backgrounds so 

that the LGAC looks like America and 

reflect the country’s rich diversity. 

Individuals may self-nominate.

Abstract: The Urban Waters Federal 

Partnership is a voluntary program 

created in 2011 that seeks to reconnect 

urban communities, particularly those 

that are overburdened or economically 

distressed, with their waterways to 

become stewards for clean urban waters. 

Working with a diverse set of partners, 

the program seeks to help communities 

restore and protect water quality and 

revitalize adjacent rural, suburban, and 

urban neighborhoods throughout the 

watershed. As part of its strategic 

planning efforts, the EPA encourages 

programs to develop meaningful 

performance measures, set ambitious 

targets, and link budget expenditures to 

results. Data collected under this ICR 

will assist the Urban Waters Federal 

Partnership in demonstrating results

Total Annual Burden: 10,012 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: No Cost. 

Needs and Uses: In a Report and 

Order released on July 19, 2024, FCC 

24–78, published at 89 FR 78066, 

September 24, 2024, the Commission 

adopted rules to advance the 

nationwide transition to Next 

Generation 911 (NG911).1 These rules 

require wireline providers, Commercial 

Mobile Radio Service (CMRS) providers, 

covered text providers, providers of 

interconnected Voice over Internet 

Protocol (VoIP) services, and providers 

of Internet-based Telecommunications 

Relay Service (internet-based TRS) 

(collectively, OSPs) to take actions to 

start or continue the transition to NG911 

in coordination with 911 Authorities. 

Associated with these rules, the 

Commission seeks OMB approval for 

notification and recordkeeping 

requirements applicable to 911 

Authorities and OSPs, as described in 

more detail herein. 

Specifically, the rules require OSPs to 

take steps in two phases to complete all 

translation and routing to deliver 911 

traffic, including associated routing and 

location information, in the requested 

IP-based format. These requirements are 

intended to correspond to and 

complement the readiness phases for 

911 Authorities so that once a 911 

Authority is ready to receive NG911 

traffic in a specific IP format, the OSP 

will be required to deliver it in that 

format. In Phase 1, OSPs will be 

required to deliver 911 traffic in a basic 

Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) format 

to NG911 Delivery Points designated by 

the 911 Authority in the 911 Authority’s 

State or territory, and complete 

connectivity testing. In Phase 2, OSPs 

will be required to deliver 911 traffic in 

SIP format that complies with NG911 

commonly accepted standards to NG911 

Delivery Points designated by the 911 

Authority in the 911 Authority’s State or 

territory, install and put into operation 

all necessary equipment, software, and 

other infrastructure, and complete 

connectivity testing. For each phase, 

OSPs must meet certain implementation 

deadlines. OSPs must bear the financial 

responsibility for such transmission, 

including costs associated with 

completing any needed TDM-to-IP 

translation and the costs of delivering 

associated routing and location
