    Background: NACEPT is a federal advisory committee chartered under
the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), Public Law 92463. EPA
established NACEPT in 1988 to provide independent advice to the EPA
Administrator on a broad range of environmental policy, technology and
management issues. Members serve as representatives from academia,
industry, non-governmental organizations, and state, local, and tribal
governments. Members are appointed by the EPA Administrator for two
year terms with the possibility of reappointment. The Council usually
meets 3 times annually and the average workload for the members is
approximately 10 to 15 hours per month. Members serve on the Council in
a voluntary capacity. However, EPA provides reimbursement for travel
expenses associated with official government business. EPA is seeking
nominations from all sectors, including academia, industry, non-
governmental organizations, and state, local and tribal governments.
Nominees will be considered according to the mandates of FACA, which
requires committees to maintain diversity across a broad range of
constituencies, sectors, and groups.
    The following criteria will be used to evaluate nominees:
--Extensive professional knowledge of environmental policy, management,
and technology issues.
--Demonstrated ability to examine and analyze environmental issues with
objectivity and integrity.
--Senior-level experience that fills a current need on the Council.
--Excellent interpersonal, oral and written communication, and
consensus-building skills.
--Ability to volunteer approximately 10 to 15 hours per month to the
Council's activities, including participation on teleconference
meetings and preparation of text for Council reports and advice letters.

    Nominations must include a resume and a short biography describing
the professional and educational qualifications of the nominee, as well
as the nominee's current business address, e-mail address, and daytime
telephone number. Interested candidates may self-nominate.
