NTEC Tribal Toxics Committee

[NaepcA1]

The National Tribal Environmental Council (NTEC) has been awarded funding by the United
States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to assist in the development of a Tribal toxics
committee to expand the conversation on the uniqueness of Tribal cultures, communities and
their concerns surrounding environmental toxins. This committee, the National Tribal Toxics
Committee (NTTC) will consist of Tribes interested in having a voice in the development of
EPA’s chemical management and pollution prevention programs.
The first step in the development of this committee is to have any interested Tribes complete a
short survey.

This survey does two things. First, it will assist NTEC in setting up a selection committee to
determine the makeup of the interim Steering Committee. Second, it identifies those Tribes who
have individuals interested in being nominated to the interim Steering Committee. The interim
Steering Committee will be assisting in initial development of the program for the first year.
The first meeting for the interim Steering Committee is tentatively scheduled to be held at the
end of April 2011. Therefore a quick response on the survey and interest for the committees no
later than March 14, 2011 is requested.
