SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Background: The Board is a federal advisory committee chartered 
under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), Public Law 92-463. EPA 
established the Board in 2013 to provide independent advice to the EPA 
Administrator in her capacity as Chair of the federal Great Lakes 
Interagency Task Force (IATF). The Board conducts business in 
accordance with FACA and related regulations.
    The Board consists of 18 members appointed by EPA's Administrator 
in her capacity as IATF Chair. Members serve as representatives of 
state, local and tribal government, environmental groups, agriculture, 
business, transportation, foundations, educational institutions, and as 
technical experts.
    The Board held teleconferences and meetings in 2013 to develop 
recommendations for the FY 2015-2019 GLRI Action Plan. In December 
2013, the Board issued its Advisory Report. See http://greatlakesrestoration.us/advisory/index.html for other information.
