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
public webinars 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 the
second Forum webinar is to further assess the types of financial
tools and models that are or could be made available for pollution
prevention (P2) projects and are relevant to small and medium-sized
businesses and manufacturers. The third Forum webinar will assess
partnership models and explore potential partnership opportunities
and distribution networks 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 webinars are open to the public, but no oral public comments
will be accepted during the webinars. Written public comments relating
to the Forum and the EFAB's Pollution Prevention workgroup should be
provided in accordance with the instructions below on written
statements.
Registration for the Meeting: Register for the webinars at <a href="https://www.zoomgov.com/webinar/register/WN_7izDAZPZT8W4kfhhi_fh0A">https://www.zoomgov.com/webinar/register/WN_7izDAZPZT8W4kfhhi_fh0A</a> (Webinar 2)
and <a href="https://www.zoomgov.com/webinar/register/WN_HA5hA8RbQ9e6ZPgyk25VtA">https://www.zoomgov.com/webinar/register/WN_HA5hA8RbQ9e6ZPgyk25VtA</a>
(Webinar 3).
Availability of Meeting Materials: Webinar materials (including
agendas and background materials) will be available on EPA's 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 should be
received by May 5, 2022, for Webinar 2 and June 17, 2022, for Webinar
3, 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#f590939497b5908594db929a83"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="b2d7d4d3d0f2d7c2d39cd5ddc4">[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(s) 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.
