National Advisory Council for Environmental Policy and 
Technology; Public Meetings

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of public meetings.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Under the Federal Advisory Committee Act, Public Law 92-463, 
EPA gives notice of a two-day series of meetings involving four of the 
Standing Committees of the National Advisory Council for Environmental 
Policy and Technology (NACEPT). NACEPT provides advice and 
recommendations to the Administrator of EPA on a broad range of 
environmental policy issues. These meetings are being held to continue 
discussions of recommendations from these NACEPT Committees on actions 
EPA can take to implement Community-Based Environmental Protection.
    The four NACEPT Committees that will be meeting are:
    <bullet> The Ecosystems Sustainable Economies Committee--which is 
examining issues associated with harmonizing economic activity and 
ecosystem management, and is focusing on the economic, social, and 
political factors needed to achieve sustainable economies.
    <bullet> The Ecosystems Information and Assessments Committee--
which is examining the role and use of data and information in 
ecosystem management strategies, including data needs, data 
accessibility, and opportunities for partnerships and data sharing with 
public and private organizations.
    <bullet> The Ecosystems Implementation Tools Committee--which is 
evaluating the opportunities to re-orient existing statutory and 
regulatory authorities to integrate place-driven environmental 
management into the Agency's decision-making processes.
    <bullet> The NACEPT Executive Committee--which serves as a steering 
Committee for all NACEPT activities and is coordinating the efforts of 
the three NACEPT Ecosystems Committees.
    Scheduling constraints preclude oral comments from the public 
during the meeting. Written comments can be submitted by mail and will 
be transmitted to Committee members for consideration

Thursday, April 13, 1995. The NACEPT Executive Committee will meet in
