In order to fulfill this charge, the NEJAC is being asked to discuss and provide recommendations regarding the following broad public policy questions: • What venues and other mechanisms would be most effective for EPA to continue to obtain public policy advice on specific environmental justice issues/concerns? • What mechanisms would be most effective for EPA to receive timely advice on specific environmental justice issues/concerns that require action or decision on short notice? • What are the best mechanisms to continue to build a collaborative problem-solving capacity to address environmental justice issues/concerns among EPA’s regulatory partners and other environmental justice stakeholders? In addition, the NEJAC will deliberate on two draft reports: (1) the Gulf Coast Hurricanes Workgroup’s draft advice and recommendations on the environmental justice issues related to natural disasters such as Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, and (2) the Waste and Facility Siting Subcommittee’s draft report, ‘‘Unintended Impacts of Redevelopment and Revitalization Efforts in Five Environmental Justice Communities.’’ Documents that are the subject of NEJAC reviews normally are available from the originating EPA office and are not available from the NEJAC. The Gulf Coast Hurricanes Workgroup’s draft advice and recommendations responds to the following question: How can EPA effectively address the vulnerabilities of all communities to public health and environmental risks and harms, including minority and low-income communities, in EPA’s response and rebuilding, and preparedness and prevention efforts, in the aftermath of natural disasters VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:06 May 15, 2006 Jkt 208001 similar to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, pursuant to the National Response Plan and applicable statutory authorities and their implementing regulations, as well as Executive Order 12898?
