delegates implementing authority to the 

Administrator of EPA. The Board is 

responsible for providing advice to the 

President and the Congress on 

environmental and infrastructure issues 

and needs within the States contiguous 

to Mexico in order to improve the 

quality of life of persons residing on the 

United States side of the border. The 

statute calls for the Board to have 

representatives from U.S. Government 

agencies; the governments of the States 

of Arizona, California, New Mexico and 

Texas; and private organizations with 

expertise on environmental and 

infrastructure problems along the 

southwest border. The U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency gives 

notice of this meeting of the Good 

Neighbor Environmental Board 

pursuant to the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act (Pub. L. 92–463).
