information concerning the EFAB is available at <a href="https://www.epa.gov/waterfinancecenter/efab">https://www.epa.gov/waterfinancecenter/efab</a>.
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
public webinar for the following purpose:
The Pollution Prevention Finance Forum is a series of webinars
that explore opportunities and challenges in financing
sustainability, with an initial focus on advancing-opportunities for
small and medium-sized manufacturing businesses. The purpose of this
first Forum webinar is to define the common types of pollution
prevention (P2) projects relevant to small businesses and
manufacturers, characterize the barriers and risks facing businesses
and lenders for P2 projects, and explore financing mechanisms and
structures that are well-suited to overcome these barriers and risks
to enhance financing for P2 projects. P2, also known as source
reduction, is any practice that reduces, eliminates, or prevents
pollution at its source prior to recycling, treatment, or disposal.
More information can be found at <a href="https://www.epa.gov/p2">https://www.epa.gov/p2</a>.
The webinar is open to the public, but no oral public comments will
be accepted during the webinar. Written public comments relating to the
Forum and EFAB's Pollution Prevention workgroup should be provided in
accordance with the instructions below on written statements.
Registration for the Meeting: Register for the meeting at <a href="https://www.zoomgov.com/webinar/register/WN_PmuR5AVvSU2yVSM9E_wBgw">https://www.zoomgov.com/webinar/register/WN_PmuR5AVvSU2yVSM9E_wBgw</a>.
Availability of Meeting Materials: Meeting materials (including the
meeting agenda and background materials) will be available on EPA's
[[Page 8246]]
website at <a href="https://www.epa.gov/waterfinancecenter/efab#meeting">https://www.epa.gov/waterfinancecenter/efab#meeting</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 can submit comments on matters being considered
by the EFAB for consideration by members as they develop their advice
and recommendations to EPA.
Written Statements: Written statements and questions for the
webinar should be received by March 4, 2022, so that the information
can be made available to the EFAB for its consideration. Written
statements and questions should be sent via email to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#37525156557752475619505841"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="1075767172507560713e777f66">[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 webinar 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.
