arbcombo -- Request for Nominations for Appointment to the Air Resources Board Environmental Justice Advisory Committee

Posted: 22 Jan 2013 14:47:13
The California Air Resources Board (ARB) is seeking nominations
from environmental justice organizations and community groups for
representatives to serve on the Environmental Justice Advisory
Committee. 

Pursuant to Assembly Bill 32 (Chapter 488, Statutes of 2006), ARB
convened the Environmental Justice Advisory Committee (EJAC or
Committee) in 2007 to advise it on the development of
California’s Climate Change Scoping Plan
(http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/scopingplan/document/scopingplandocument.htm)
and other matters pertinent to the implementation of AB 32. 

ARB is required to develop an updated Scoping Plan to bring to
the Board by December 2013. The plan will focus on strategies to
reduce greenhouse gas emissions and achieve additional
co-benefits both in the near-term and beyond 2020, including in
disadvantaged communities. Sectors of focus will include
transportation, fuels, and infrastructure; energy generation,
transmission, and efficiency; waste; water; and agriculture. It
will also focus on how best to align California’s greenhouse gas
emission reduction strategies with other state policy priorities
like air quality, goods movement, sustainable communities, and
clean energy. 

ARB is reconvening the EJAC to advise on the development of the
updated Scoping Plan. Staff expects the EJAC to meet twice during
the spring and summer of 2013 to discuss the Scoping Plan prior
to Board consideration of the Plan. Nominations from
environmental justice organizations and community groups for
membership on the EJAC are being solicited for representatives
that meet the membership requirements of AB 32, Health and Safety
Code, section 38591: 

“The advisory committee shall be comprised of representatives
from communities in the state with the most significant exposure
to air pollution, including, but not limited to, communities with
minority populations or low-income populations, or both. The
state board shall appoint the advisory committee members from
nominations received from environmental justice organizations and
community groups.”

Current or former members of the EJAC that still meet the
eligibility requirements are invited to resubmit a nomination. 

Nominations shall include the following information: 

- Name, business address, and brief description of nominating
environmental justice organization or community group; 

- For its nomination, the group shall indicate: 

- Name and business address of representative being nominated for
appointment to the Committee; 

* The community or communities in the state the representative
represents; 
* Relevant professional work experience of the representative
being nominated; and 
* Brief description of interest of nominee in service on the
Committee. 

To be considered for appointment to the EJAC, nominations should
be received no later than 5:00 pm on March 1, 2013 and addressed
to the following:
