SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Good

Neighbor Environmental Board is an

independent federal advisory committee

charged with advising the President and

Congress on environmental and

infrastructure practices along the U.S.

border with Mexico. It was authorized

under Section 6 of the Enterprise for the

Americas Initiative Act, 7 U.S.C. 5404.

Under Executive Order 12916, the EPA

Administrator was delegated authority

to administer the activities of the Board.

Good Neighbor has 24 Board

members, including 16 non-federal

members and 8 members from federal

agencies. Federal agency members are

appointed by the heads of their

agencies. Non-federal members are

appointed by the Administrator of EPA

for a two year term, with the possibility

of reappointment. The Board meets

three times a year in different U.S.

border communities and produces an

annual report to the President and

Congress. Between meetings, Board

members continue their work through

teleconference calls and e-mail.

Currently, there are 3 non-federal

vacancies on the Board for which

applications are being sought by EPA.

The application process is open to all

interested parties. To help maintain a

balanced and diverse nonpartisan

perspective, non-federal Board members

continue to be recruited from all four

U.S. border states and span all levels of

government as well as the private sector,

non-profit groups, and academic

institutions. Recruitment is an ongoing

process.

At the present time, given the

composition of the Board and EPA’s

continued commitment to diversity and

balance, EPA is especially interested in

receiving applications from individuals

with the following types of skills,

expertise, and perspectives:

maquiladora businesses, local

governments, tribes, grassroots citizens’

coalitions, ranching and grazing

interests, and energy sector expertise.

Those who live and work in border

communities, have cross-border

experience and networks, offer specific

cultural perspectives, and are bilingual

also are especially welcome to apply for

membership. EPA Administrator

Christine Todd Whitman makes the

final recruitment decisions.

Nominations for membership must

include a resume describing the

professional and educational

qualifications of the nominee and the

nominee’s current business address,

daytime telephone number, fax, and email address.

Dated: May 29, 2001.
