SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background: The EFAB is an EPA advisory committee chartered under
the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5 U.S.C. 10, 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. In October
2023, the EFAB accepted a charge from EPA to provide recommendations on
how the agency could support communities in their affordability
efforts. Information about the workgroup charge and members can be
found at <a href="https://www.epa.gov/waterfinancecenter/efab#workgroup">https://www.epa.gov/waterfinancecenter/efab#workgroup</a>.
Pursuant to FACA and EPA policy, notice is hereby given that the EFAB
will hold a public meeting for the following purposes: Discuss and vote
on the draft deliverable on the Water Affordability charge.
Registration for the Meeting: To register for the meeting, please
visit <a href="http://www.epa.gov/waterfinancecenter/efab#meeting">www.epa.gov/waterfinancecenter/efab#meeting</a>. Interested persons
who wish to attend the meeting must register by January 7, 2025, to
attend via webcast. Pre-registration is strongly encouraged. In the
event the meeting cannot be held, an announcement will be made on the
EFAB website at <a href="http://www.epa.gov/waterfinancecenter/efab">www.epa.gov/waterfinancecenter/efab</a> and all registered
attendees will be notified.
Availability of Meeting Materials: Meeting materials, including the
meeting agenda and briefing materials, will be available on EPA's
website at <a href="http://www.epa.gov/waterfinancecenter/efab">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 public meeting will be limited to three minutes
each. Persons interested in providing oral statements at the January
2025 meeting should register in advance and provide notification, as
noted in the registration confirmation, by January 3, 2025, to be
placed on the list of registered speakers.
Written Statements: Written statements should be received by
January 3, 2025, 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#93f6f5f2f1d3f6e3f2bdf4fce5"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="5336353231133623327d343c25">[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
[[Page 100485]]
much time as possible to process your request.

Director, Office of Wastewater Management, Office of Water.
