Administrative support for the EFAB is provided by the Water Infrastructure and Resiliency Finance Center within EPA's Office of Water. Pursuant to FACA and EPA policy, notice is hereby given that the EFAB will hold a public webinar briefing for the following purpose:

(1)The purpose of the webinar will be for members of the EFAB to hear from Opportunity Zones practitioners who work on Opportunity Zones investments in disadvantaged communities and are willing to share their experiences to support the workgroup's charge. The webinar is open to the public, but no oral public comments will be accepted during the briefing. Written public comments relating to the Opportunity Zones Workgroup should be provided in accordance with the instructions below on written statements. *Registration for the Meeting:* Register for the meeting at *https://www.eventbrite.com/e/us-epa-environmental-financial-advisory-board-opportunity-zones-panel-tickets-164877317495.* *Availability of Meeting Materials:* Meeting materials (including the meeting agenda and briefing materials) will be available on EPA's website at *https://www.epa.gov/waterfinancecenter/efab.* *Procedures for Providing Public Input:* Public comment for consideration by EPA's federal advisory committees has a different purpose from public comment provided to EPA program offices.

Members of the public can submit comments on matters being considered by the EFAB for consideration by members as they develop their advice and recommendations to EPA. *Written Statements:* Written statements for the webinar should be received by August 20, 2021 so that the information can be made available to the EFAB for its consideration.

Copyrighted material will not be posted without explicit permission of the copyright holder. *Accessibility:* For information on access or services for individuals with disabilities or to request accommodations for a disability, please register for the webinar and list any special requirements or accommodations needed on the registration form at least 10 business days prior to the meeting to allow as much time as possible to process your request.
