SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The LGAC

Committee Act (FACA), Public Law 92–
463, to advise the EPA Administrator on
environmental issues impacting local
governments. The Small Communities
Advisory Subcommittee is the LGAC’s
standing subcommittee to advise on
issues of concern to smaller
communities. Members of LGAC and
SCAS will provide advice and
recommendations on a broad range of
issues related to our shared goals of
promoting and protecting public health
and the environment. These issues may
include: Advancing environmental
justice; ensuring access to clean air and
water; reducing greenhouse gas
emissions; bolstering resilience to the
impacts of climate change; and limiting
exposure to dangerous chemicals and
pesticides.
Viable candidates must be current
elected or appointed officials
representing local, state, tribal or
territorial governments. Additional
criteria to be considered may include:
Experience with multi-sector
partnerships; coalition-building and
grassroots involvement; involvement
and leadership in national, state or
regional intergovernmental associations;
knowledge of and commitment to
promoting environmental protection
and public health issues, including
those of communities of color and lowincome communities; and leadership
and implementation of federal, state,
local, tribal, territorial and international
environmental programs, including
permitting programs, Brownfields,
Superfund clean-up, air and water
quality, solid waste management,
emissions reduction, resiliency and
adaptation, sustainability, and
environmental justice programs.
Diversity in vocational/career/volunteer
background, professional and
community affiliations, and
demonstrated familiarity with local,
regional, national, and international
environmental issues, also may be
considered.
LGAC members are appointed for 1–
2-year terms and are eligible for
reappointment. The Committee meets
multiple times a year, typically with at
least one in-person meeting. EPA is
committed to prioritizing members’
health and safety during the COVID–19
pandemic and will follow CDC
guidelines when considering any in-

person meeting. The Administrator may
ask members to serve on Subcommittees
and Workgroups to develop reports and
recommendations to address specific
policy issues, reflecting the priorities of
the Administration. The average
workload for members is approximately
5 hours per month. While EPA is unable
to provide compensation for services,
official Committee travel and related
expenses (lodging, etc.) will be fully
reimbursed.
Nominations: Nominations must be
submitted in electronic format. To be

include:
• Current contact information for the

experience and knowledge will bring
value to the work of the LGAC.
Other sources, in addition to this
Federal Register notice, may be utilized
in the solicitation of nominees. EPA
expressly values diversity, equity, and
inclusion, and encourages the
nominations of elected and appointed
officials from diverse backgrounds so
that the LGAC and SCAS look like
America and reflect the country’s rich
diversity. Individuals may selfnominate.
