ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
AGENCY
[FRL–9104–01–OA]
Announcement of the Board of
Directors for the National
Environmental Education Foundation
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of appointment and reappointment.
AGENCY:
The National Environmental
Education and Training Foundation
(doing business as The National
Environmental Education Foundation or
‘‘NEEF’’) was created as a private
501(c)(3) non-profit organization. It was
established by Congress as a common
ground upon which leaders from
business and industry, all levels of
government, public interest groups, and
others can work cooperatively to raise a
greater national awareness of
environmental issues beyond traditional
classrooms.
Per NEEA, the EPA Administrator
appoints and reappoints eligible
individuals to serve on NEEF’s Board of
Directors. The Administrator announces
the following four-year appointments to
NEEF’s Board of Directors, effective 90
days after publication of this notice:
• Dr. Robert D. Bullard, Texas Southern
University
• Sally Cole, Apple
• Omar Mitchell, National Hockey
League
• Arturo Garcia-Costas, New York
Community Trust
Mr. Kevin Coyle, Toyota will be reappointed for an additional four-year
term.
Additional considerations: As an
independent foundation, NEEF is
different from the Agency’s several
federal advisory committees and
scientific boards, which have their own
appointment processes. Because NEEA
gives complete discretion to the
Administrator in appointing members to
NEEF’s Board of Directors, EPA is taking
additional steps to ensure all
prospective members are qualified to
serve on the Board and represent
diverse points of view. In early 2021,
EPA’s Office of the Administrator
