National Advisory Council for

Reinvention Criteria Committee;

Environmental Information and Public

Capital Markets Committee; Public

Meeting

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of public meeting.

SUMMARY: Under the Federal Advisory

Committee Act, P.L. 92–463, EPA gives

notice of a meeting of the following

committees of the National Advisory

Council for Environmental Policy and

Technology (NACEPT) which provides

advice and recommendations to the

Administrator of EPA on a broad range

of environmental policy issues.

The Reinvention Criteria Committee

(RCC) has been asked to help the

Agency understand how incentives can

be used most successfully to inspire

firms, companies, communities, and

individuals to go beyond mere

compliance with existing regulations

and to begin the process of addressing

outstanding environmental problems. In

particular, the committee will focus on

the following questions:

—What opportunities exist for EPA to

use incentives to promote

environmental stewardship in

industry? In local communities? In

the general public?

—How can EPA evaluate the

effectiveness of incentives to

encourage environmental stewardship

that leads to improved environmental

results? How can EPA measure the

impact that incentives have on public

confidence? What criteria should be

used to decide whether the use of

incentives is appropriate?

—How can the concept of performance

ladders be used to tailor incentives

most effectively?

The Environmental Information and

Public Access Committee (EIPAC) will

discuss issues relating to the newly

created Center for Environmental and

Information Statistics; workgroups will

discuss data quality, public access and

use, and intergovernmental relations

needed for the Center.

The Environmental Capital Markets

Committee (ECM) will provide

stakeholder inputs on the potential

utility of using Environmental

Management Systems as an investment

service. The ultimate goal of the

committee is to identify concrete actions

EPA can take, on its own or in

cooperation with other Federal and

State agencies, to help the financial

services industry incorporate

environmental information into its

decision-making process.

These meetings are being held to

provide the EPA with perspectives from

representatives of state, local, and tribal

governments, environmental, business,

and financial organizations, academia,

industry, and NGOs.

DATES: The RCC and EIPAC will hold a

two-day public meeting at the Embassy

Suites Hotel, 1250 22nd Street, NW,

Washington, D.C. 20037, on Tuesday,

July 7, and Wednesday, July 8, 1998

from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm.

The ECM will hold a one-day public

meeting at the same location on

Wednesday, July 8, 1998 from 8:00 am

to 5:00 pm.

ADDRESSES: Materials or written

comments may be transmitted to the

committees through Gwendolyn Whitt,

Designated Federal Officer, NACEPT,

U.S. EPA, Office of Cooperative

Environmental Management (1601F),

401 M Street, SW, Washington, D.C.

during the first day of the meetings.

a meeting of the Title VI

Implementation Advisory Committee of

the National Advisory Council for

that may be used by EPA funding

recipients to operate environmental

permitting programs in compliance with

Title VI. The Title VI Implementation

Advisory Committee is one of several

standing committees of NACEPT.

The Committee consists of 23

independent representatives drawn

from among state and local

governments, industry, the academic

community, tribal and indigenous

interests, and grassroots environmental

and other non-governmental

organizations.

DATES: The Committee will meet on July

27, 1998 from 1:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. and

July 28, 1998 from 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.

The public comment session will be

held on July 27 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30

p.m.

Members of the public who wish to

make brief oral presentations should

contact Jannell Young at (202) 260–1888

by July 21, 1998 to reserve time during

the public comment session. The

Committee is particularly interested in

receiving public comments on how a

state permitting agency can effectively

identify and address Title VI concerns

early in the permitting process.

Individuals or groups making

presentations will be limited to a total

time of five minutes. Those who have

not reserved time in advance may make

comments during the public comment

session as time allows.

ADDRESSES: The Penn Tower Hotel,

Civic Center Boulevard at 34th Street,

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The

meeting is open to the public. However,
