travel and other incidental expenses associated with official
government business. EPA is seeking nominations from mayors, city
council members, county commissioners and executives, city managers,
small town officials, public works and environmental directors, tribal
governments, and state officials including legislators and
environmental directors. Nominees will be considered according to the
mandates of FACA, which requires committees to maintain diversity
across a broad range of constituencies, sectors, interests, and groups.
EPA strongly encourages nominations from women and minorities.
The following criteria will be used to evaluate nominees:
--Experience serving as an elected official;
