National Advisory Council for Environmental Policy and Technology
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of meeting; Request for Comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Notice of Meeting--Under the Federal Advisory Committee Act,
Public Law 92463, EPA gives notice of a meeting of the National
Advisory Council for Environmental Policy and Technology (NACEPT).
NACEPT provides advice to the EPA Administrator on a broad range of
environmental policy, technology, and management issues. NACEPT is a
committee of individuals who represent diverse interests from academia,
industry, non-governmental organizations, and local, state, and tribal
governments.
The purpose of the meeting is to discuss the draft findings from
NACEPT's 20th anniversary report, sustainable water infrastructure,
biofuels, EPA's 2009-2014 Strategic Plan Change Document, and EPA's
Draft Information Access Strategy. A copy of the agenda for the meeting
will be posted at http://www.epa.gov/ocem/nacept/cal-nacept.htm.
Request for Comments--In recognition of its 20th anniversary in
2008, NACEPT is preparing two reports that seek to: (1) Identify the
issues and challenges EPA will face and should focus on over the next
5-10 years (``prospective report''), and (2) review NACEPT's activities
and accomplishments during its 20-year history (``retrospective
report'').
For the prospective report (1 above), EPA has begun
gathering input on the following ten questions about future
environmental issues and trends and EPA's role in addressing them.
1. What do you consider to be the most influential long-term trends
or forces (whether social, economic, technological, or otherwise) that
are most likely to impact the environment over the next ten years?
2. What is your opinion on whether EPA is adequately addressing
these trends or developments?
3. What steps could EPA take to improve its ability to anticipate
and address these trends and related issues?
4. What do you consider to be the top environmental issues or
challenges that the EPA must address in the next 10 years?
5. What might limit the Agency's ability to respond to the
identified issues?
6. What are some specific steps that the Agency could take to
respond to the issues and overcome the constraints?
7. What might the Agency look like ten years from now and what
major changes in the way the Agency currently operates should be
implemented now to achieve this ten year vision?
8. Over the next ten years, how would you define success for the
EPA?
9. What measures would indicate success or failure for the Agency
in the next ten years?
10. Is there anything else that you would like to add?
The initial findings that have emerged from the input received thus
far include the following:
Climate change presents a challenge that will require
substantial EPA involvement over the next ten years and beyond.
EPA does or should play a pivotal role as the nation's
leading source of environmental science and technology and should
foster collaborative and cooperative relationships with all public and
private sector interests.
Some factors that will influence the degree to which EPA
is successful over the next ten years remain largely beyond the
Agency's control.
The draft prospective report will be posted at http://epa.gov/ocem/
nacept/reports/index.html. You may send your comments to Sonia Altieri
at the contact information listed below. EPA will review the comments
received, but will not respond to individual comments.
DATES: NACEPT will hold a two-day meeting on Thursday, November 13,
2008, from 9:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. and Friday, November 14, 2008, from
8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.
ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held at the Gaylord National Resort and
Convention Center, 201 Waterfront Street, National Harbor, MD 20745.
The meeting is open to the public, with limited seating on a first-
come, first-served basis.

Mandatory Reliability Standard for Nuclear Plant Interface
Coordination
Issued October 16, 2008.
AGENCY: Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, DOE.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 215 of the Federal Power Act (FPA), the
Commission approves the Nuclear Plant Interface Coordination
Reliability Standard developed by the North American Electric
Reliability Corporation (NERC). In addition, pursuant to section
215(d)(5) of the FPA, the Commission directs NERC to develop a
modification to the Reliability Standard to address a specific concern.
The Reliability Standard requires a nuclear plant generator operator
and its suppliers of back-up power and related transmission and/or
distribution services to coordinate concerning nuclear licensing
requirements for safe nuclear plant operation and shutdown and system
operating limits. The Commission also approves four related definitions
for addition to the NERC Glossary of Terms, and directs various changes
to proposed violation risk factors, which measure the potential impact
of violations of the Reliability Standard on the reliability of the
Bulk-Power System.
DATES: Effective Dates: The final rule will become effective November
26, 2008.

Our practice is to make comments, including names and home
addresses of respondents, available for public review. Individual
respondents may request that we withhold their home address from public
