The

the North American Free Trade
Agreement (NAFTA) Implementation
Act, Public Law 103–182, and as
directed by Executive Order 12915,
entitled ‘‘Federal Implementation of the
North American Agreement on
Environmental Cooperation.’’ The
Committees are responsible for
providing advice to the United States
Representative on a wide range of
strategic, scientific, technological,
regulatory and economic issues related
to implementation and further
elaboration of the (NAAEC). The
National Advisory Committee consists
of 12 representatives from
environmental groups and non-profit
entities, business and industry, and
educational institutions. The
Governmental Advisory Committee
consists of 12 representatives from state,
local, and tribal governments. Members
are appointed by the EPA Administrator
for a two-year term with the possibility
of reappointment. The Committees
usually meet 3 times annually and the
average workload for Committee
members is approximately 10 to 15
hours per month. Members serve on the
Committees in a voluntary capacity.
However, EPA provides reimbursement
for travel expenses associated with
official government business. The
following criteria will be used to
evaluate nominees:

of the subjects the Committees examine,
including trade and the environment,
the NAFTA, the NAAEC, and the CEC.
• Represent a sector or group that is
involved in the issues the Committees
evaluate.
• Senior-level experience that fills a
need on the Committees for their
particular expertise.
