SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Following the passage of the historic Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will be making significant investments in the health, equity, and resilience of American communities. With unprecedented funding to support our national infrastructure, EPA will improve people's health and safety, help create good-paying jobs, and increase climate resilience throughout the country.

As EPA works to implement the BIL, EPA has asked the SCAS for their input on how the Agency can best:

• Support clean and sustainable air, water, and land priorities for small and rural communities.

• Support capacity needs/advancement for small and rural communities.

• Ensure long-lasting communication between EPA and local officials from small and rural communities.

• Ensure small communities are positioned to benefit from this generational investment in environmental infrastructure.

During this meeting the SCAS will deliberate initial recommendations for the charge questions noted above.

All interested persons are invited to attend and participate. The SCAS will hear comments from the public from 2:05-2:15 p.m. (EDT).
