I am not aware if you have been invited to this meeting yet, but 1 have recommended to FEMA that in addition to my office,
that OEM, DEP, DCP, DOH and Law be invited as well. Please let me know who from your agency will attend, as I must
let FEMA know. (Please e-mail me at [email protected] or call me at 212-788-2937. No guarantee the my
voice mail will work.) ——
st-
a heads-up, one of the issues that is bound to come up are the emergency permits granted by the State for the use of
/^e landfill. We should discuss this matter before the meeting.
I have requested additional information from FEMA - i.e. agenda, list of invitees, issues... - when I receive these, I will
forward them to you.
Thanks, Alessandra.

I apologize for the informality of this communication.
We (FEMA, Public Assistance/Environmental Planning) are putting together an
Interagency Coordination Team to identify the applicable City and State
environmental review and permitting process for the WTC rebuild efforts. We
. are inviting stakeholder agencies to an initial planning meeting on Friday,
December 7, 2001 at 10:00 am at the FEMA offices at 141 Worth Street.
We are looking to invite environmental policy and permitting decision-makers
from different stakeholder agencies to this meeting. We specifically want
to identify the applicable project review and approval processes developed
by each authorizing agency so that we can identify areas that may be
bottlenecks, opportunities to streamline the National Environmental Policy
Act (NEPA) compliance and permitting process, and facilitate or develop a
mechanism for upfront agency coordination. The simplest way to
conceptualize this is to understand that many agency project approval
processes include public participation, project review and comment periods.
If we can identify opportunities to satisfy the public participation
requirements of multiple agencies with a public meeting or notice of intent
and comment request, broadly distributed, we may shorten or streamline the
project approval process. We are especially interested in the CEQRA and
