SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background: The EFAB is an EPA advisory 
committee chartered under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5 
U.S.C. 10, to provide advice and recommendations to the EPA on 
innovative approaches to funding environmental programs, projects, and 
activities. Administrative support for the EFAB is provided by the 
Water Infrastructure and Resiliency Finance Center within the EPA's 
Office of Water. Pursuant to FACA and EPA policy, notice is hereby 
given that the EFAB will hold a public webinar for the following 
purpose: to explore strategies for mobilizing private capital in 
distributed energy generation projects to leverage the government's 
recent historic $27 billion GGRF.
    Registration for the Webinar: To register for the webinar, please 
visit https://www.epa.gov/waterfinancecenter/efab#meeting. Interested 
persons who wish to attend the webinar must register by November 8, 
2024. Pre-registration is strongly encouraged.
    Availability of Webinar Materials: Webinar materials, including the 
agenda and associated materials, will be available on the EPA's website 
at https://www.epa.gov/waterfinancecenter/efab.
    Procedures for Providing Public Input: Public comment for 
consideration by the EPA's Federal advisory committees has a different 
purpose from public comment provided to the EPA program offices. 
Therefore, the process for submitting comments to a Federal advisory 
committee is different from the process used to submit comments to an 
EPA program office. Federal advisory committees provide independent 
advice to the EPA. Members of the public may submit comments on matters 
being considered by the EFAB for consideration as the Board develops 
its advice and recommendations to the EPA.
    Written Statements: Written statements should be received by 
November 5, 2024, so that the information can be made available to the 
EFAB for its consideration prior to the webinar. Written statements 
should be sent via email to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#85e0e3e4e7c5e0f5e4abe2eaf3"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="b2d7d4d3d0f2d7c2d39cd5ddc4">[email protected]</span></a>. Members of the public should 
be aware that their personal contact information, if included in any 
written comments, may be posted to the EFAB website. Copyrighted 
material will not be posted without explicit permission of the 
copyright holder.
    Accessibility: For information on access or services for 
individuals with disabilities or to request accommodations for a 
disability, please register for the webinar and list any special 
requirements or accommodations needed on the registration form at least 
10 business days prior to the webinar to allow as much time as possible 
to process your request.
