| 2019-21832 | Announcement of the Board of Directors for the National Environmental Education Foundation | Notice | The National Environmental Education and Training Foundation (doing business as The National Environmental Education Foundation or "NEEF") was created by Section 10 of Public Law 101-619, the National Environmental Education Act of 1990 (NEEA) 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: <bullet> Jeniffer Harper-Taylor--Siemens Foundation (Re- appointment) <bullet> Jennifer Love--Royal Caribbean International <bullet> Lori A. McFarling--Discovery Education <bullet> Steve Sikra--Proctor & Gamble 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 2019, EPA's Office of the Administrator formed an internal review panel comprised of senior EPA career officials tasked with verifying the qualifications of all future members of the NEEF Board of Directors selected by the Administrator. All new Board appointees underwent review by the panel prior to publication of this notice. These appointees will join the current Board members. Information on the Board members is available on NEEF's public website: https://www.neefusa.org/about-neef/board. In December 2018, NEEF signed a first-time Memorandum of Understanding with the (EPA) Acting Administrator Andrew R. Wheeler to establish increased coordination between EPA and NEEF on key EPA initiatives including but not limited to EPA's Recycling Initiative, Trash Free Waters Program, Winning on Reducing Food Waste initiative, and the Healthy Schools Initiative. | 2019-10-07 | 2019 | 10 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2019/10/07/2019-21832/announcement-of-the-board-of-directors-for-the-national-environmental-education-foundation | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2019-10-07/pdf/2019-21832.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | The National Environmental Education and Training Foundation (doing business as The National Environmental Education Foundation or "NEEF") was created by Section 10 of Public Law 101-619, the National Environmental Education Act of 1990 (NEEA) as a... |
