ACTION: Notice of public meeting. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: Under the Federal Advisory Committee Act, Public Law 92-463, EPA gives notice of a meeting of the National Advisory Council for Environmental Policy and Technology's (NACEPT) Reinvention Criteria Committee. NACEPT provides advice and recommendations to the Administrator of EPA on a broad range of environmental policy issues. [[Page 25337]] The NACEPT Reinvention Criteria Committee (RCC) has been asked to help the Agency understand how incentives can be used most successfully to inspire firms, companies, communities, and individuals to go beyond mere compliance with existing regulations and to begin the process of addressing outstanding environmental problems. In particular, the committee is focusing on the following questions: What opportunities exist for EPA to use incentives to promote environmental stewardship in industry? In local communities? In the general public? How can EPA evaluate the effectiveness of incentives to encourage environmental stewardship that leads to improved environmental results? How can EPA measure the impact that incentives have on public confidence? What criteria should be used to decide whether the use of incentives is appropriate? How can the concept of performance ladders be used to tailor incentives most effectively? This meeting is being held to provide the EPA with perspectives from representatives of state, and local governments, environmental organizations, academia, industry, and NGOs. DATES: The RCC will hold a 1\1/2\-day public meeting at the Doyle Hotel, located at 1500 New Hampshire Avenue, NW. in Washington, DC on Monday June 28, from 1:00pm to 5:30pm and Tuesday June 29, 1999 from 8:30am to 5:00pm.
