SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Federal Advisory Committee Act, Public Law 92-

Agency (EPA) will hold an open meeting of the NACEPT Standing Committee

will be on a first-come basis and limited time will be provided for
public comment. The meeting will focus on the areas of the Compliance
Assistance program on which the Committee has been asked to advise the
EPA. These are: (1) Strengthening the national compliance assistance
network by helping identify opportunities to enhance communication
among compliance assistance providers and by promoting collaboration in
compliance assistance planning and tool development; (2) developing and
testing performance measurement systems to demonstrate the
effectiveness and environmental outcomes of compliance assistance; and
(3) acting as a sounding board to provide feedback on compliance
assistance policies, strategies or other related matters. A formal
agenda will be available at the meeting.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NACEPT is a federal advisory committee under
the Federal Advisory Committee Act, Public Law 92-463. NACEPT provides
advice and recommendations to the EPA Administrator and other EPA
officials on a broad range of domestic and international environmental
policy issues. NACEPT consists of a representative cross-section of
EPA's partners and principal constituents who provide advice and
recommendations on policy issues and serve as a sounding board for new
strategies. Over the last two years, EPA has undertaken a number of
actions to improve our compliance assistance activities. To ensure that
the Agency's efforts to improve compliance assistance are implemented
in a way that continues to reflect stakeholder needs, NACEPT created a
new Standing Committee on Compliance Assistance. This will provide a
continuing Federal Advisory Committee forum from which the EPA can
continue to receive valuable stakeholder advice and recommendations on
compliance assistance activities. For further information concerning
the NACEPT Standing Committee on Compliance Assistance, including the
upcoming meeting, contact Joanne Berman, Designated Federal Officer
(DFO), on (202) 564-7064, or e-mail: berman.joanne@epa.gov.
Inspection of Subcommittee Documents: Documents relating to the
above topics will be publicly available at the meeting.
Dated: October 31, 2002.

Acting Director, Office of Compliance.
