SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Environmental Financial Advisory 

Board was chartered in 1989 under the 

Federal Advisory Committee Act to 

provide advice and recommendations to 

EPA on the following issues: 

• Reducing the cost of financing 

environmental facilities and 

discouraging polluting behavior; 

• Creating incentives to increase 

private investment in the provision of 

environmental services and removing or 

reducing constraints on private 

involvement imposed by current 

regulations; 

• Developing new and innovative 

environmental financing approaches 

and supporting and encouraging the use 

of cost-effective existing approaches; 

• Identifying approaches specifically 

targeted to small community financing; 

and 

• Increasing the capacity issue of 

state and local governments to carry out 

their respective Environmental 

programs under current Federal tax 

laws. 

• Increasing the capacity of state and 

local governments to carry out their 

respective environmental programs 

under current Federal tax laws; 

• Increasing the total investment in 

environmental protection of public and 

private environmental resources to help 

ease the environmental financing 

challenge facing our nations. 

The Board meets two times each 

calendar year (two days per meeting) at 

different locations within the 

continental United States. Board 

members typically contribute 

approximately 1–3 hours per month to 

the Board’s work. The Board
