SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background: The EFAB is an EPA advisory committee chartered under
the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5 U.S.C. App. 2, to provide
advice and recommendations to EPA on innovative approaches to funding
environmental programs, projects, and activities. Administrative
support for the EFAB is provided by the Water Infrastructure and
Resiliency Finance Center within EPA's Office of Water. Pursuant to
FACA and EPA policy, notice is hereby given that the EFAB will hold a
virtual public meeting via webcast for the following purposes:
(1) Provide EFAB workgroup updates to the Board regarding work
products related to the Opportunity Zones charge the Board accepted
during its October 2020 meeting;
(2) Discuss potential future EFAB charges including Stormwater
Credit Trading, Environmental Risk and Cost of Capital, Financing Small
Manufacturer Pollution Prevention Projects, and others; and
(3) Receive briefings from invited EPA speakers on environmental
finance topics.
Registration for the Meeting: To register for the meeting, please
visit <a href="https://www.epa.gov/waterfinancecenter/efab#meeting">https://www.epa.gov/waterfinancecenter/efab#meeting</a>. Interested
persons who wish to attend the meeting via webcast must register by
October 5, 2021. Pre-registration is strongly encouraged.
Availability of Meeting Materials: Meeting materials, including the
meeting agenda and briefing materials, will be available on EPA's
website at <a href="https://www.epa.gov/waterfinancecenter/efab">https://www.epa.gov/waterfinancecenter/efab</a>.
Procedures for Providing Public Input: Public comment for
consideration by EPA's federal advisory committees has a different
purpose from public comment provided to EPA program offices. Therefore,
the process for submitting comments to a federal advisory committee is
different from the process used to submit comments to an EPA program
office. Federal advisory committees provide independent advice to EPA.
Members of the public may submit comments on matters being considered
by the EFAB for consideration as the Board develops its advice and
recommendations to EPA.
Oral Statements: In general, individuals or groups requesting an
oral presentation at a virtual public meeting will be limited to three
minutes each. Persons interested in providing oral statements at the
October 2021 meeting virtually via webcast should register in advance
and provide notification, as noted in the registration confirmation, by
October 5, 2021 to be placed on the list of registered speakers.
Written Statements: Written statements for the October 2021 meeting
should be received by October 5, 2021 so that the information can be
made available to the EFAB for its consideration prior to the meeting.
Written statements should be sent via email to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#fa9f9c9b98ba9f8a9bd49d958c"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="f89d9e999ab89d8899d69f978e">[email protected]</span></a>. Members of
the public should be aware that their personal contact information, if
included in any written comments, may be posted to the EFAB website.
Copyrighted material will not be posted without explicit permission of
the copyright holder.
Accessibility: For information on access or services for
individuals with disabilities or to request accommodations for a
disability, please register for the meeting and list any special
requirements or accommodations needed on the registration form at least
10 business days prior to the meeting to allow as much time as possible
to process your request.
Dated: September 22, 2021.
Andrew D. Sawyers,
Director, Office of Wastewater Management, Office of Water.
