committees - their charters, members, activities and accomplishments. Also, it contains a listing of recent
committee reports filed with the Library of Congress, an alphabetical index of committee members, a copy
of the Federal Advisory Committee Act and the GSA Final Rule, as amended.
Public advisory committees are important in the Federal decision-making process. They provide
opportunity for citizen involvement and input on national policies and programs. Members of EPA's.advisory
committees contribute knowledge and expertise in highly specialized and technical areas. The open forum
of advisory committee meetings also provides citizens with a better understanding of the decisions made
by EPA.
If you are interested in receiving our monthly meeting schedule or in continuing to receive our
annual publication, please complete and return the form attached.
If you have any questions concerning a specific advisory committee, feel free to contact the
Designated Federal Officer listed in the enclosed publication for that advisory committee.

THE ADMINISTRATOR
Through its federal advisory committees, EPA forms partnerships with a variety of
constituents who are interested and qualified to provide expertise on environmental
issues. These independent committees provide a wide range of scientific and technical
expertise to me and my senior staff as we develop and implement this nation's complex
environmental program. Their advice and recommendations are critical to our joint effort
to improve the environment.
A significant accomplishment in this era of environmental and regulatory complexity
is EPA's pioneer work in the federal use of negotiated rulemaking processes to develop
new regulations. The report describes a number of policy dialogue and negotiated
rulemaking advisory committees. The collaboration of these special advisory committees
often results in understanding and cooperation among groups having no prior purpose
or opportunity to work together, and frequently results in better rules for all.
This year is also distinguished by the creation of the National Environmental Justice
Advisory Council (NEJAC), which held its first meeting in May, 1994. NEJAC members
provide advice to the Agency about how to achieve environmental protection for all so
that no segment of the population, regardless of race, ethnicity, or income, bears a
disproportionately high and adverse effect of pollution.
The challenges of preserving health and protecting the environment motivate EPA
to cooperate with other federal agencies, states, tribes, local governments, business,
industry, non-profit organizations, and academia. We continue to depend on the expert
advice of dedicated committee members and others to help the Agency make informed
decisions, and to advise us in our mission of protecting the Earth's ecosystems, natural
resources, and human health.

UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHARTER
ARCHITECTURAL AND INDUSTRIAL MAINTENANCE COATINGS
NEGOTIATED RULEMAKING ADVISORY COMMITTEE (NRAC)
1. PURPOSE. This charter establishes the Architectural and Industrial Maintenance
Coatings Negotiated Rulemaking Advisory Committee, in accordance with the provisions
of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5 U.S.C. App. 2, §9(c) and the Negotiated
Rulemaking Act, 5 U.S.C. Sections 581-590.
2. AUTHORITY. It is determined that establishment of this Committee is in the public
interest and supports EPA in performing its duties and responsibilities under Section
183(e) of the Clean Air Act, as amended.
3. OBJECTIVE AND SCOPE OF ACTIVITY. The Committee will serve as an integral part
of EPA's development of a rulemaking approach to control volatile organic compounds
(VOC's) from Architectural and Industrial coatings. It will attempt, via face-to-face
negotiations, to reach consensus on concepts and language to use as the basis of rules
implementing Section 183 (e) of the Clean Air Act, as amended.
4. FUNCTIONS. The Committee's function is to assist directly in the development of
rules to control VOC emissions from Architectural and Industrial Maintenance Coatings.
With the participation of knowledgeable, affected parties, EPA expects to develop a
practical, protective approach to controling these VOC emissions at less cost than
traditional rulemaking. In addition, the Committee's success or lack thereof will help EPA
assess the procedures and circumstances which best foster successful negotiations.
5. COMPOSITION. The Committee will consist of approximately twenty-five (25)
members, appointed by the EPA Deputy Administrator, plus a facilitator who will serve
as Chair. Members will represent the following segments of the population in appropriate
mix and balance:
Affected Industry
Consumers
Environmental Groups
Federal Agencies
Labor
State and Local Air Pollution Agencies
-------
ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHARTER
Appropriate members shall be selected and appointed for the duration of the
negotiation itself. A full-time salaried official or regular employee of the Agency will serve
as the Designated Federal Officer and will be present at all meetings. The Designated
Federal Officer is authorized to adjourn any meeting whenever it is determined to be in
the public interest to do so. The Committee is authorized to form workgroups for any
purpose consistent with this Charter. Such workgroups shall report back to the full
Committee. Workgroups have no authority to make decisions on behalf of the full
Committee nor can they report directly to the Agency.
EPA may pay travel and per diem expenses when necessary and appropriate, and
may compensate members as provided for under the Negotiated Rulemaking Act of 1990.
The Committee's estimated annual operating cost is approximately $75,000, which
includes .4 work years of staff support. EPA's Office of Policy, Planning and Evaluation
will provide administrative and process support to the Committee.
6. MEETINGS. Meetings shall be held as necessary, at the call of the Chair, with an
agenda for each meeting approved in advance by the Designated Federal Officer.
Committee meetings will be called, announced, and held in accordance with the EPA
Committee Management Manual. This manual contains the Agency's policies and
procedures for implementing FACA. Among other things, FACA requires open meetings
and an opportunity for interested persons to file comments before or after meetings, or
to make statements to the extent that time permits.
7. DURATION. The Committee will terminate one year after establishment, unless the
Deputy Administrator determines that the Committee will finish its work within 30 days of
the original termination date. If the Deputy Administrator makes such a determination, he
can extend the termination date by 30 days without further consultation with GSA. In the
event more time is needed, EPA may seek an extension under Section 14 of FACA.

UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHARTER
BIOTECHNOLOGY SCIENCE ADVISORY COMMITTEE
1 - PURPOSE AND AUTHORITY. This Charter is reissued to renew the Biotechnology
Science Advisory Committee for an additional two year period in accordance with the
requirements of the Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. App. 2, §9(c). Also, this
Charter is revised to remove the requirement that the Committee have one scientist
member who also serves as a member of the FIFRA Scientific Advisory Panel.
The Biotechnology Science Advisory Committee was established by the Agency
on December 1986 to meet the needs for specialized support for Agency consideration
of biotechnology issues and to respond to the mandate for "agency based scientific
advisory committees" appearing in the Office of Science and Technology Policy
announcement of December 31, 1984 (49 F.R. 50905) and November 14, 1985 (50 F.R.
47174).
2. SCOPE OF ACTIVITY. The activities of the Committee will include analyzing
problems, conducting reviews, holding meetings, providing reports, making
recommendations, forming study groups, and other activities needed to meet the
Committee's objectives, including the use of consultants as necessary.
3. OBJECTIVES AND RESPONSIBILITIES. The Committee will provide expert scientific
advice to the Administrator and Assistant Administrators concerning issues relating to
risks and other effects of applications of modern biotechnology. The Committee shall
provide reports and recommendations directly to the Administrator and to the Assistant
Administrator(s) and will do so in a timely manner. The Committee responsibilities will
include:
• Consideration of scientific issues referred by Program Office Directors;
• Comparison of case reviews to evaluate internal scientific consistency among
programs;
• Assessment, in participation with the Science Advisory Board, of issues
requiring research and referral to appropriate Agency research
committees;
• Recommendation of issues to be referred to interagency coordinating

• Consultation and coordination with other Agency advisory groups, as
requested by the Administrator.
4. MEMBERSHIP. The Committee will consist of 11 voting members, including nine
scientists and two persons representing the general public, appointed by the Deputy
Administrator. Most members will be appointed as Special Government Employees.
Members will be appointed for three years. If a vacancy occurs on the committee due
to expiration of a term, the Deputy Administrator may extend the term of a committee
member (not to exceed six months) until a new member is appointed to fill the vacancy.
Subcommittees must include at least one member of the full committee. The Deputy
Administrator will appoint from the membership a Chairperson of the full committee. The
Deputy Administrator or the Deputy Administrator's designee will appoint Chairpersons
of subcommittees or panels as needed, after consultation with the Chairperson. The
committee will be supplemented by consultants when they are needed to extend the
range of expertise and experience of the standing committee.
Scientist members of the Committee will be selected on basis of their professional
qualifications to examine the questions of hazard, exposure and risk to humans, other
non-target organisms and ecosystems or their components due to production and release
of organisms for purposes regulable under statutes for which the Environmental
Protection Agency has responsibility.
As a minimum, the Committee shall have one scientist member who also serves
as a member of the Administrator's Science Advisory Board Executive Committee. Other
members can also have joint membership on this Committee and the Science Advisory
Board or its various committees or study groups.

In addition, there will be non-voting representatives from each Federal agency
represented on the Biotechnology Science Coordinating Committee of the Federal
Coordinating Council for Science, Engineering and Technology.
The Committee is authorized to form subcommittees or panels for any purpose
consistent with this charter. The Administrator or the Administrator's designee shall
review the need for such subcommittees and panels at least yearly to decide which
should be continued. The subcommittees and panels will operate under the direction of
the Committee.
5. MEETINGS. The Committee will meet at the request of the Administrator or the
Administrator's designee. Meetings will be called, announced, and held in accordance
with the EPA Manual on Committee Management. The Manual provides for open
meetings of advisory committees; requires that interested persons be permitted to file
written statements before or after meetings, and for oral statements by interested persons
to the extent time permits. Meetings or portions thereof may be closed to comply with
statutory restrictions concerning dissemination of proprietary and confidential information;
however, the Agency is committed to having open meetings to the greatest extent
possible. A full-time salaried officer or employee of the Agency, who will serve as the
Designated Federal Officer will be present at all meetings and is authorized to adjourn any
such meeting whenever it is determined to be in the public interest.
It is anticipated that the full Committee will meet approximately three times per year,
supplemented by subcommittee meetings as needed. The estimated annual operating
costs for the Committee will be approximately $160,000 which includes 1.5 work-years of
staff support. Support for the Committee's activities will be provided by the Office of the
Administrator, EPA or other appropriate offices as necessary.
6. DURATION. The Biotechnology Science Advisory Committee has been renewed
for two years and may be extended beyond that date if authorized in accordance with
Section 14 of the Federal Advisory Committee Act.

BIOTECHNOLOGY SCIENCE ADVISORY COMMITTEE
RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The Biotechnology Science Advisory Committee (BSAC) held a meeting of the
Subcommittee on Plant Pesticides, including transgenic plant pesticides, on July 13,1993.
The Subcommittee reviewed a set of scientific issues being considered by the Agency in
determining whether a pesticidal substance produced in a plant is exempt from the
requirement of a food tolerance if it is an inherent plant pesticide derived from a known
food source and meets certain other criteria.
The Subcommittee also commented on the feasibility of using in vitro digestibility
studies as toxicity assays.
The BSAC and the FIFRA Scientific Advisory Panel held a Joint Subpanel meeting
on the proposed rule for plant pesticides on January 21, 1994.
The joint Subpanel considered a set of scientific issues being evaluated by the
Agency for: (1) a proposed policy statement that generally describes how EPA proposes
to regulate plant-pesticides under FIFRA and FFDCA; (2) a proposal under FIFRA
describing the changes in the 40 CFR that define the scope of regulation for plant-
pesticides under FIFRA and implements parts of EPA's program for plant-pesticides; (3)
a proposed exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for coat proteins from plant
viruses when produced in plants; (4) a proposed exemption from the requirement of a
tolerance for nucleic acids produced in plants as part of a plant-pesticide; and (5) a
proposed exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for categories of plant-pesticides
that will result in significantly different dietary exposures.
The BSAC meetings have been very useful to the Agency in providing guidance
on science issues raised by Agency rulemaking efforts and policy needs, and on other
scientific issues pertinent to program needs in biotechnology. Moreover, the BSAC has
provided a forum for Agency interaction with the public on biotech science issues. The
BSAC has been one of the few available mechanisms by which industry, academia, and
public interest groups have come together to comment on issues of importance regarding
biotechnology. The BSAC will continue to play an active and productive role in the EPA
biotechnology program as a result of the on-going development of the biotechnology
industry.

CLEAN AIR ACT ADVISORY COMMITTEE
RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS
With passage of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments, the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) began to revise its new source review (NSR) rules to incorporate
the requirements of the 1990 Amendments. In conjunction with the revision, EPA began
considering ways to simplify the NSR process. To facilitate its efforts to identify potential
methods for simplifying the NSR process, EPA decided to conduct 3 workshops, open
to the public, to solicit comments from interested parties.
EPA considered the input provided by the three public workshops as invaluable
and that it was time to select appropriate options in order to formulate policy and
regulations. To accomplish this, EPA decided that the Subcommittee on New Source
Review, constituted as part of the Clean Air Act Advisory Committee, be formulated to
assist in choosing courses of action.
On July 7, 1993, EPA gave notice of the establishment of the NSR Reform
Subcommittee (58 FR 36407) under the auspices of the Clean Air Act Advisory Committee
(55 FR No. 217, 46993) which was established pursuant to the Federal Advisory
Committee Act (5 U.S.C. APP. 1). The Subcommittee's purpose is to provide
independent advice and counsel to EPA on policy and technical issues associated with
reforming NSR rules.
The NSR Reform Subcommittee met for the first time on July 20-21, 1993. This
meeting addressed NSR issues related to best available control technology (BACT) and
Class I areas. As a result of the discussions, the Subcommittee decided to form six
subgroups to address broad BACT and Class I area topics. The Subcommittee charged
the subgroups with discussing the identified issues and developing recommendations for
resolving their respective issues.
Another Subcommittee meeting was held on November 8-9, 1993, to review draft
options and recommendations developed by the subgroups on specific areas regarding
Class I area impacts on BACT. In addition, the Subcommittee addressed NSR
applicability-related issues. At this meeting, two new subgroups were formed: NSR
Applicability and Existing Source Impacts on Class I areas.
The Subcommittee met on January 20 and 21, 1994. The primary focus of this
meeting was to have the Subcommittee reach a final consensus regarding recommen-
dations on Class I permitting issues, control technology determinations and NSR
applicability.

CLEAN AIR SCIENTIFIC ADVISORY COMMITTEE
(of the Science Advisory Board)
RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC) is a statutory advisory group
(established under section 109 of the Clean Air Act as amended on August 7, 1977).
CASAC has an independent charter, but it operates under the administrative umbrella of
the Science Advisory Board (SAB) and its Chair serves as a member of the Executive
Committee. CASAC primarily reviews documents relating to National Ambient Air Quality
Standards (NAAQS). By law, these standards are to be re-evaluated by EPA every 5
years. In practice, however, the process often takes longer. CASAC does not set the
review schedule; rather, it is responsive to Agency time tables.
CASAC met three times on a number of topics throughout FY 1993. In addition
to a December planning meeting, CASAC met in June to review the draft air quality criteria
document for oxides of nitrogen (NOx), and a draft research strategy for alternative fuels
developed by the Office of Research and Development. CASAC members have
provided the Agency with written comments on both issues within the NOx review, closure
being reached in July, 1993. CASAC also met in August, 1993 to review the draft criteria
document and staff paper for SOx. CASAC members made numerous suggestions for
the improvement of both documents. CASAC issued two letter reports and a
commentary: a) Alternative Fuels Research Strategy Review
(EPA-SAB-CASAC-LTR-93-014); b) NOx Closure (EPA-SAB-CASAC-LTR-93-015); and c)
Ozone Criteria Document Development Schedule (EPA-SAB-CASAC-COM-93-004).

COUNCIL ON CLEAN AIR COMPLIANCE ANALYSIS
(of the Science Advisory Board)
RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The CAACAC is a statutory advisory group (mandated by the Clean Air Act
Amendments of 1990) under the administrative umbrella of the SAB. Like the Clean Air
Scientific Advisory Committee, it reports directly to the Administrator and has a separate
charter. The CAACAC and the Environmental Economics Advisory Committee have
complimentary responsibilities and some overlap in membership, but the CAACAC
primary mission is to conduct an on-going review of the Agency's retrospective and
prospective analyses of the cost/benefit impacts of the Clean Air Act.
The CAACAC met three times during FY93, and released three letter reports: a)
Review of the Agency's study to analyze impacts of the Clean Air Act
(EPA-SAB-CAACAC-LTR-93-006); b) Review of the Agency's retrospective study to
analyze benefits of the Clean Air Act (EPA-SAB-CAACAC-LTR-93-007); and c) Review of
the Agency's prospective study to analyze benefits of the Clean Air Act
(EPA-SAB-CAACAC-LTR-93-011).

UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHARTER
DIALOGUE COMMITTEE ON HAZARDOUS WASTE IDENTIFICATION
1. PURPOSE. This charter establishes the Dialogue Committee on Hazardous Waste
Identification in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act
(FACA), 5 U.S.C. App. 2, §9(c).
2. AUTHORITY. It is determined that this Committee is in the public interest and
supports the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in performing its duties and
responsibilities under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act.
3. OBJECTIVE AND SCOPE OF ACTIVITY. The Dialogue Committee will provide a
forum to discuss appropriate procedures and standards to identify and govern safe
management of mixtures and derivatives of hazardous waste, contaminated media, and
remediation waste. It is hoped that a consensus on the most feasible process changes
may be possible but, at a minimum, EPA would like to ensure that all process changes
are identified and thoroughly evaluated. The output of the Dialogue Committee will be
options for modifying regulations for the identification and management of waste regulated
by RCRA.
4. FUNCTIONS. The Committee's function is to identify and evaluate modifications
to the current RCRA regulations and to facilitate the exchange of ideas and information
among the interested parties. The evaluation should include the technical and economic
feasibility of the regulatory changes and modifications in the volume and/or risks posed
by wastes regulated under the current regulations. With the participation of
knowledgeable, affected parties, EPA expects to identify a list of feasible regulatory
changes.
5. COMPOSITION. The Committee will consist of not more than 25 members.
Members will represent the following segments of the population in appropriate mix and
balance for the task at hand.
Categories of Members:
• environmental groups
• States
• representatives from the waste treatment industry
• industry
31
-------
ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHARTER
Appropriate members shall be selected and appointed for the duration of the
Dialogue Committee. Workgroups may meet for any purpose consistent with this Charter.
Such workgroups shall report back to the full Committee unless separately chartered.
Workgroups that report directly to the Agency must be separately chartered. Unchartered
workgroups have no authority to make decisions on behalf of the full Committee.
Workgroups that do not function independently of the parent advisory committee are
subject to all FACA requirements except separate chartering, unless exempt from such
requirements under the GSA Rule (41 CFR 101-6.1004(k).
EPA may pay travel and per diem expenses when necessary and appropriate. The
Committee's estimated annual operating cost is approximately $100,000 which includes
1 work-year of staff/contractual support. EPA's Office of Policy, Planning and Evaluation
will provide administrative and process support to the Committee.
6. MEETINGS. A full-time or permanent part-time officer or employee of the Agency will
serve as the Designated Federal Officer (DFO) and will be present at all meetings. The
DFO is authorized to adjourn any meeting whenever it is determined to be in the public
interest to do so. The Committee may not conduct any meetings in the absence of the
DFO or his/her designee. Meetings shall be held as necessary, at the call of the Chair,
with an agenda for each meeting approved in advance by the DFO. Committee meetings
will be called, announced, and held in accordance with the EPA Committee Management
Manual. The Manual contains the Agency's policies and procedures for implementing
FACA. Among other things, FACA requires open meetings, and an opportunity for
interested persons to file comments before or after meetings, or to make statements as
permitted by the Committee's guidelines and to the extent that time permits.
7. DURATION. The Committee will terminate by June 8, 1995, unless the Deputy
Administrator determines that the Committee will finish its work within 30 days of this date.
If the Deputy Administrator makes such a determination, he can extend the termination
date by 30 days without further consultation with GSA. In the event more time is needed,
EPA may seek an extension under §14 of FACA.

DIALOGUE COMMITTEE ON HAZARDOUS WASTE IDENTIFICATION
RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The Dialogue Committee on Hazardous Waste Identification, Co-chaired by a State
and by an EPA representative, established two workgroups: one on Contaminated Media;
the other on Process Waste issues. The full Committee and workgroups met numerous
times during FY 1993. The Committee is now considering recommendations from the
Contaminated Media Group having to do with definitional issues, storage, and removal.
The Committee is also reviewing recommendations from the Process Waste Group
regarding allowable exemption, entrance and exit levels.

UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHARTER
DIALOGUE COMMITTEE ON PHOSPHORIC ACID WASTES
1. PURPOSE. This charter renews the Dialogue Committee on Phosphoric Acid
Production Wastes which was originally established on December 7,1992 in accordance
with the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5 U.S.C. App. 2, §9(c).
2. AUTHORITY. It is determined that establishment of this Committee is in the public
interest and supports the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in performing its duties
and responsibilities under the Toxic Substances Control Act and the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act.
3. OBJECTIVE AND SCOPE OF ACTIVITY. The Dialogue Committee will provide a
forum to address any existing or potential risks to human health or the environment from
phosphoric acid production wastes by identifying technically and economically feasible
changes to the current phosphoric acid production process. These process changes
should not introduce significant new environmental or human health risks. It is hoped that
a consensus on the most feasible process changes may be possible but, at a minimum,
EPA would like to ensure that all process changes are identified and thoroughly
evaluated. Differing positions on the evaluations, as well as the reasons for those
differences will be identified. The output of the Dialogue Committee will be the
identification of one or more process changes that can later be considered for application
to phosphoric acid facilities on a case-by-case facility specific basis.
4. FUNCTIONS. The Committee's function is to identify and evaluate changes to the
current phosphoric acid production process and to facilitate the exchange of ideas and
information among the interested parties. The evaluation should include the technical and
economic feasibility of the process changes and what reduction in the volume and/or
toxicity of the current wastes would result from such process changes. With the
participation of knowledgeable, affected parties, EPA expects to develop a list of feasible
process changes.
5. COMPOSITION. The Committee will consist of not more than 40 members,
appointed by the EPA Deputy Administrator, plus an EPA official that will serve as Chair.
Members will represent the following segments of the population in appropriate mix and
balance for the task at hand.
Categories of Members:
• public interest groups
• representatives from the phosphoric acid industry
37
-------
ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHARTER
• States
• Federal agencies
Appropriate members shall be selected and appointed for the duration of the
Dialogue Committee. Most members will be appointed as representatives of non-federal
interests. A full-time salaried official or regular employee of the Agency will serve as the
Designated Federal Officer and will be present at all meetings. The Designated Federal
Officer is authorized to adjourn any meeting whenever it is determined to be in the public
interest to do so. The Committee is authorized to form workgroups for any purpose
consistent with this Charter. Such workgroups shall report back to the full Committee.
Workgroups have no authority to make decisions on behalf of the full Committee nor can
they report directly to the Agency.
EPA may pay travel and per diem expenses when necessary and appropriate. The
Committee's estimated annual operating cost is approximately $180,000 which includes
1 work-year of staff/contractual support. EPA's Office of Policy, Planning and Evaluation
will provide administrative and process support to the Committee.
6. MEETINGS. Meetings shall be held as necessary, at the call of the Chair, with an
agenda for each meeting approved in advance by the Designated Federal Officer.
Committee meetings will be called, announced, and held in accordance with the EPA
Committee Management Manual. This manual contains the Agency's policies and
procedures for implementing FACA. Among other things, FACA requires open meetings,
and an opportunity for interested persons to file comments before or after meetings, or
to make statements to the extent that time permits.
7. DURATION. The Committee will terminate by September 30, 1994. In the event
more time is needed, EPA may seek an extension under Section 14 of FACA.

DIALOGUE COMMITTEE ON PHOSPHORIC ACID WASTES
RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The Dialogue Committee on Phosphoric Acid Wastes met four times in fiscal year
1993. Prior to the second meeting the Committee members had an opportunity to tour
a phosphoric acid production plant in central Florida and to discuss with plant managers
the various processes being employed in the production of phosphoric acid. Committee
members have received briefings and data on the different production methods and have
considered the pros and cons of various process changes with regard to pollution
prevention or waste reduction. In fiscal year 1994, the Committee will conclude its
deliberations and recommend to the Agency whether certain process changes have
potential for real reductions in the pollution resulting from the production of phosphoric
acid.

UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHARTER
ENVIRONMENTAL FINANCIAL ADVISORY BOARD
1. PURPOSE AND AUTHORITY. This Charter renews the Environmental Financial
Advisory Board, which was originally established on February 25, 1991, in accordance
with the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. App. 2, §9(c).
The purpose of the Advisory Board is to provide authoritative analysis and advice to
the EPA Administrator regarding environmental finance issues to assist EPA in carrying
out its environmental mandates. It is determined that this Board is in the public interest
in connection with the performance of duties imposed on the Agency by law.
Environmental legislation reauthorized or proposed by Congress in recent years has
placed significant additional resource requirements on all levels of government, increasing
their infrastructure and administrative costs. At the same time, limited budgets and
changes in federal tax laws have constrained traditional sources of capital. Growing
needs and expectation for environmental protection, as well as increasing demands in all
municipal service areas, make it increasingly difficult for states and local governments to
find the resources to meet their needs. The resulting strain on the public sector
jeopardizes the quality and delivery of environmental services.
2. SCOPE OF ACTIVITIES. The Advisory Board will focus upon environmental finance
issues at the federal, state, and local levels, particularly with regard to their impact upon
local governments and small communities. The Board will address the capacity issue of
state and local governments to carry out their respective environmental programs under
current federal tax laws. The Board will endeavor to increase the total investment in
environmental protection by facilitating greater leverage of public and private
environmental resources to help ease the environmental financing challenge facing our
nation.
Local governments must pay for the construction and operation of environmental
facilities, such as wastewater treatment plants, solid waste facilities, and drinking water
facilities. Their need for resources, both financial and technical, particularly in the face of
the growing demand for increasingly expensive environmental services, calls for support
from all levels of government and from the private and non-profit sectors. At the same
time, federal and state resources for environmental programs are expected to remain fairly
constant relative to the growth in costs associated with new legislative and program
requirements.
43
-------
ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHARTER
The activities of the Advisory Board will include analyzing problems, conducting
meetings, presenting findings, and other activities necessary for the attainment of the
Board's objectives. The Board will issue advisory statements to the EPA Administrator
reflecting the opinions of the Board. The Board may also develop reports and issue
papers, as necessary, and solicit comments from persons who are not members of the
Board.
3. OBJECTIVES. The Advisory Board is assigned the role of providing advice on the
critical environmental financing issues facing our nation, consistent with current federal
tax laws. Objectives consistent with this role include:
• Reducing the cost of financing environmental facilities and discouraging polluting
behavior;
• Creating incentives to increase private investment in the provision of environmental
services and removing or reducing constraints on private involvement imposed by current
regulations;
• Developing new and innovative environmental financing approaches and supporting
and encouraging the use of effective existing approaches;
• Identifying approaches specifically targeted to small community financing;
• Assessing government strategies for implementing public-private partnerships,
including privatization and operations and maintenance issues, and other alternative
financing mechanisms; and
• Reviewing governmental principles of accounting and disclosure standards and
how they affect environmental programs.
4. OPERATION OF EFAB. Members of the Advisory Board are selected on the basis
of their professional qualifications and diversity of perspectives and backgrounds that will
enable them to provide advice and guidance to the Administrator on environmental
financing issues. The Advisory Board consists of a group of independent experts drawn
from all levels of government, including elected officials; the finance, banking, and legal
communities; business and industry; national organizations; and academia. The group
shall be of sufficient size and diversity to provide the range of perspectives required to
assess the various issues pertaining to environmental financing. Most members will be
appointed as representatives of non-federal interests. The Board will consist of
approximately forty members and is authorized to form subgroups to report back to the
Board. Subgroups that do not function independently of the parent advisory committee
are subject to all FACA requirements except separate chartering.
44
-------
ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHARTER
The Deputy Administrator or his/her designee appoints individuals to serve on the
Board. Appointments will be established on a staggered basis, and members may be
reappointed to the Board. The Deputy Administrator or a designee will also appoint
members of the Board to serve as the Chair and Vice Chair.
5. MEETINGS. The Board will have at least two scheduled meetings each year, and
each subgroup will meet at least twice each year and such meetings may be either during
or subsequent to Board meetings. An EPA employee will serve as the Designated
Federal Officer (DFO) of the Board, who will be present at all meetings and is authorized
to adjourn meetings whenever it is in the public interest. Meetings will be called,
announced, and held in accordance with the EPA Committee Management Manual. The
Manual contains the Agency's policies and procedures for implementing FACA. Among
other things, FACA requires open meetings, and an opportunity for interested persons to
file comments before or after meetings, or to make statements as permitted by the
Board's guidelines and to the extent that time permits.
Budgetary support for the Advisory Board is provided through the Environmental
Financing Program staff in EPA's Office of the Comptroller. This staff serves as the
executive secretariat to the Board and performs staff support and related assignments.
The FY 1994 estimated annual operating costs total approximately $350,000.00, which
includes 3.5 workyears of staff support.
6. DURATION. The Advisory Board may be needed on a continuing basis. This
charter will be in effect for two years from the date it is filed with the Congress. After that
two-year period, the charter may be renewed for another two years, as authorized in
accordance with Section 14 of the Federal Advisory Committee Act.

ENVIRONMENTAL FINANCIAL ADVISORY BOARD
RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The Environmental Financial Advisory Board (EFAB) was established in 1989 to
provide authoritative analysis and advice on environmental finance to the EPA
Administrator to assist the Agency in carrying out its mission. Operating under the
Federal Advisory Committee Act, EFAB is currently organized into three committees:
Paying for Environmental Mandates; Education and Communication; and International.
The Board and it's committees met numerous times in 1992-1993 to analyze
environmental financing issues and alternatives and to develop formal reports and
advisory statements. EFAB activities and products during this period included:
• May 1992 -- The Board met in Washington, D.C. and released a formal
progress report, Narrowing the Gap: Environmental Finance for the 1990s.
This report outlined the major recommendations contained in EFAB's first
four advisories and laid out directions for future Board activities.
• June 1992 -- EFAB's Paying for Mandates Committee served as the official
review forum for the EPA State Capacity Task Force report entitled,
Alternative Financing Mechanisms for Environmental Programs.
• September 1992 - EFAB issued a joint report with EPA's Clean Air Act
Advisory Committee entitled, The Clean Air Act of 1990: A Guide to Public
Financing Options. This report addresses ways that states and localities
can meet the costs of implementing their clean air programs.
• October 1992 - The Board met in Washington, D.C. to discuss innovative
financing ideas and to work on developing new advisories.
• December 1992 - EFAB's Education and Communication Committee met
in Washington, D.C. to continue to examine ways to better market
environmental financing techniques.
• February 1993 -- The Board met in Washington, D.C. to discuss local
government finance issues and to work in committee sessions on urban,
international and marketing advisories.
• March 1993 -- EFAB formally released an advisory entitled, Urban
Environmental Policy: Steps Toward Environmental Equity. Reduced
Environmental and Health Risks, and Urban Revitalization.
50

UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHARTER
ENVIRONMENTAL STATISTICS TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE
1. PURPOSE AND AUTHORITY. This Charter is reissued to renew the Agency's
Environmental Statistics Technical Advisory Committee (ESTAC) of the American
Statistical Association which was originally established on April 10, 1992 in accordance
with requirements of the Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. App. 2, §9(c).
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (U.S. EPA's) Environmental Statistics
Program has seven major activities: compiling and analyzing environmental quality
measures; promulgating guidelines for collecting data; coordinating the collection of
environmental quality measures with Federal information gathering activities; making
required data readily accessible; publishing timely summary measures; gathering
conditions and trends information; and coordinating with EPA research offices to identify
data needs.
The American Statistical Association has consented to the Agency's utilization of
the ESTAC for the purpose of providing independent scientific advice and counsel to the
Agency on matters involving environmental statistics. The Technical Advisory Committee
is not utilized as an EPA advisory committee when it deliberates on other matters,
including those related to its internal administration.
2. SCOPE OF ACTIVITY. The Technical Advisory Committee shall provide advice on
the technical aspects and the results of the analyses of the U.S. EPA's Environmental
Statistics Program, including how they can be presented in a balanced, carefully
documented and useful way. The Committee will also provide advice concerning
statistical research needed to develop appropriate methods for analyzing and displaying
environmental data. The Technical Advisory Committee shall be consulted on technical,
scientific and analytical matters involving the U.S. EPA's Environmental Statistics Program.
The Technical Advisory Committee shall hold meetings, analyze issues, conduct
reviews, perform studies, produce reports, make necessary recommendations and
undertake other activities necessary to meet its responsibilities. The reports of the
Technical Advisory Committee will be presented to the Assistant Administrator for the
Office of Policy, Planning and Evaluation.
Establishment of subcommittees is authorized for any purpose consistent with this
charter. Such subcommittees will report back to the Committee.

ENVIRONMENTAL STATISTICS TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE
RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The Environmental Statistics Technical Advisory Committee met for the first time
this past year in two sessions. The first was at the annual meeting of the American
Statistical Association in San Francisco, California, August 10,1993. At this meeting the
background of statistics in EPA and the status of the proposed Bureau of Environmental
Statistics was discussed. The second meeting was held by audio conference call
January 20, 1994 and recommendations were developed concerning the National
Environmental Goals Project. The Committee was able to better understand the
interrelationships, and roles of the EPA, the proposed Bureau of Environmental Statistics,
and the Committee. Their first substantive accomplishment was a set of constructive
suggestions to be used in the data analysis for the EPA-wide National Environmental
Goals Project. With the Committee's input, the quality of data and analyses upon which
the Agency will determine whether national environmental goals are being attained, should
be considerably enhanced.

UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHARTER
FEDERAL FACILITIES ENVIRONMENTAL RESTORATION DIALOGUE
1. PURPOSE. This charter establishes the Federal Facilities Environmental
Restoration Dialogue Commitee, in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Advisory
Committee (FACA), 5 U.S.C. App. 2, §9(c).
2. AUTHORITY. It is determined that establishment of this Committee is in the public
interest and supports EPA in performing its duties and responsibilities under Section 120
of the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act
(CERCLA), Section 6001 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), and
other authorities pertaining to the environmental restoration of federal facilities.
3. OBJECTIVE AND SCOPE OF ACTIVITY. The Committee will provide a forum to
refine and further develop issues related to environmental restoration activities at federal
facilities. The forum will facilitate the exchange of ideas and information among interested
parties. It is hoped that consensus may be possible on these issues, but at a minimum,
EPA would like to ensure that issues are thoroughly refined and that differing positions,
as well as the reasons for those differences, are identified. A final report describing the
results of the dialogue will be prepared.
4. FUNCTIONS. As indicated above, the Committee's function is to assist directly in
the development of EPA and federal agency efforts to address federal facility
environmental restoration programs. With the participation of knowledgeable, affected
parties, EPA expects to develop a practical approach to federal agency environmental
restoration efforts which will best protect human health and the environment within
guidelines and principles that have broad public support and national applicability.
5. COMPOSITION. The Committee will consist of not more than forty (40) members,
appointed by the EPA Deputy Administrator, plus a facilitator who will serve as Chair.
Members will represent the following interests in an appropriate mix and balance:
Categories of Members:
Public interest/environmental groups
Tribal Government and Native American representatives
State Government representatives
Federal Agency representatives
Other Interested and Affected Parties
58
-------
ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHARTER
Appropriate members shall be selected and appointed for the duration of the
Committee's charter. A full-time salaried official or regular employee of the Agency will
serve as the Designated Federal Officer and will be present at all meetings. The
Designated Federal Officer is authorized to adjourn any meeting whenever it is determined
to be in the public interest to do so. The Committee is authorized to form work groups
for any purpose consistent with this Charter. Such work groups shall report back to the
full Commitee. Work groups have no authority to make decisions on behalf of the full
Committee nor can they report directly to the Agency.
Under the Federal Advisory Committee Act, EPA may pay travel and per diem
expenses when necessary and appropriate. The Committee's estimated annual operating
cost is approximately $200,000, which includes .5 work years of staff support. EPA's
Office of Enforcement will provide administrative and process support to the Committee.
6. MEETINGS. Meetings shall be held as necessary, at the call of the Chair, with an
agenda for each meeting approved in advance by the Designated Federal Officer.
Committee meetings will be called, announced, and held in accordance with the EPA
Committee Management Manual. This manual contains the Agency's policies and
procedures for implementing FACA. Among other things, FACA requires open meetings
and an opportunity for interested persons to file comments before or after meetings, or
to make statements to the extent that time permits.
7. DURATION. The Committee will terminate by June 30, 1993, unless the Deputy
Administrator determines that the Committee will finish its work within 30 days of the
original termination date. If the Deputy Administrator makes such a determination, he
may extend the termination date by 30 days without further consultation with GSA. In the
event more time is needed, EPA may seek an extension under Section 14 of FACA.

FEDERAL FACILITIES ENVIRONMENTAL RESTORATION
DIALOGUE COMMITTEE
RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS
In February 1993, the Federal Facilities Environmental Restoration Dialogue
Committee (FFERDC) issued its Interim Report on Recommendations for Improving
Federal Facilities Environmental Restoration Decision-Making and Priority-Setting
Processes. The Committee recommendations include:
• improving dissemination and exchange of information related to federal
facility clean-ups;
• involving affected stakeholders through establishment and consultation with
Site Specific Advisory Boards (SSABs); and
• consultation on federal facility environmental restoration funding matters.
Throughout the spring and summer of 1993, the FFERDC conducted seven
regional public forums where the Committee's recommendations were presented. Forum
participants were invited to provide feedback to the Committee.
During the September 1993 plenary session, FFERDC members agreed the report
should not be modified at that time, but that implementation efforts of various agencies
needed to be monitored.
At the September plenary session, new members were added to the FFERDC,
representing environmental justice and local government interests. These two areas of
concern were not included during the first phases of the FFERDC's efforts.
The Committee's recommendations on enhanced public participation are being
implemented at DOE and at DoD sites around the country. DOE has established SSABs
at more than a dozen of their installations; DoD has developed guidance for establishing
and utilizing Restoration Advisory Boards (RABs) at a number of their closing facilities.
The FFERDC is monitoring the implementation of SSABs and RABs, and is
planning to continue work on priority-setting issues.

of FIFRA. The Panel will be expected to comment as to the impact on health and the
environment of matters arising under Sections 6(b), 6(c) and 25(a) of FIFRA. Analyses
prepared by staff of the Environmental Protection Agency will be provided for the Panel's
consideration.
The Assistant Administrator for Prevention, Pesticides and Toxic Substances, or
his/her designee, will initiate all requests for comment by the Panel in accordance with
the following timetable: Notices of intent to cancel or change classification under Section
6(b) of FIFRA and proposed regulations under Section 25(a) of FIFRA will be forwarded
to the Panel at least 60 days prior to their issuance to a registrant or publication in the
Federal Register. Final regulations will be forwarded to the Panel at least 30 days in
advance of publication. Whenever the Administrator exercises authority under Section
6(c) of the Act to immediately suspend the registration of any pesticide to prevent an
imminent hazard, the Administrator shall promptly submit to the Panel action taken to
suspend the registration of such pesticide. In providing for peer review, the Administrator
also may use the Panel or appropriate experts appointed from a current list of nominees
maintained by the Panel.
The Panel's comments will be submitted in writing to the Assistant Administrator
for Prevention, Pesticides and Toxic Substances. Such comments will be published in the
Federal Register, together with the Environmental Protection Agency's response at the
time that such notices of intent or proposed or final rulemaking are published in the
Federal Register. In any particular case, the Panel may waive comment.
The Panel shall consult and coordinate its activities with the Science Advisory
Board established under the Environmental Research, Development, and Demonstration
Authorization Act of 1978. The chair of FIFRA Scientific Advisory Panel is a member of the
Executive Committee of the Science Advisory Board.
67
-------

5. COMPOSITION. The Panel is composed of seven members, including the
Chairperson, selected and appointed by the Deputy Administrator from twelve nominees
- six nominated by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and six by the National Science
Foundation (NSF), utilizing a system of staggered terms of two to four years. Members
of the Panel are selected on the basis of their professional qualifications to assess the
effects of the impact of pesticides on health and the environment. To the extent feasible
to insure multidisciplinary representation, the Panel membership shall include
representation from the disciplines of toxicology, pathology, environmental biology, and
related sciences (e.g., pharmacology, biotechnology, bio-chemistry, biostatistics, to name
a few). If a vacancy occurs on the Panel due to expiration of a term, resignation, or any
other reason, each replacement shall be selected by the Deputy Administrator from a
group of 4 nominees, 2 each submitted by NIH and NSF. The Deputy Administrator may
extend the term of a Panel member until the new member is appointed to fill the vacancy.
Should the list of nominees provided be unsatisfactory, the Deputy Administrator may
request an additional set of nominees from the nominating entities. No person shall be
ineligible to serve on the Panel by reason of his/her membership on any other advisory
committees to a Federal department or agency or his/her employment by a Federal
department or agency (except the Environmental Protection Agency).
Panel members are subject to the provisions of 40 CFR Part 3, Subpart F --
Standards of Conduct for Special Government Employees, which includes rules regarding
conflicts of interest. Each nominee selected by the Deputy Administrator, before being
formally appointed, is required to submit a Confidential Statement of Employment and
Financial Interests (EPA Form 3120-1), which shall fully disclose any outside source(s) of
financial support. The Deputy Administrator shall require all nominees to the Panel to
furnish information concerning their professional qualifications, their educational
background, employment history, and scientific publications. The Agency shall publish
in the Federal Register the name, address, and professional affiliations of each nominee.
The estimated annual operating cost of the Panel will be approximately $103,000
which includes an allowance for 1.75 work year of staff support. The Office of Pesticide
Programs provides the necessary staff and support for the Panel.
6. MEETINGS. The Panel will meet either at the request of the Assistant
Administrator for Prevention, Pesticides and Toxic Substances, or his/her designee, or
at the request of the Chairperson with the concurrence of the Assistant Administrator for
Prevention, Pesticides and Toxic Substances, or his/her designee. Panel meetings will
be called, announced, and held in accordance with the Environmental Protection
Agency's Manual on Committee Management. In compliance with FACA, Panel meetings

which gives guidance for closing all or part of a meeting); interested persons shall be
68
-------
ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHARTER
permitted to file written statements to the extent that time permits. Any such written or
oral statements will be taken into consideration by the Panel in formulating its comments
or in deciding whether to waive comment. All documents pertaining to each Panel
meeting are available to the public (unless exempted by the Freedom of Information Act,
such as Confidential Business Information).
The Assistant Administrator for Prevention, Pesticides and Toxic Substances or
his/her designee, will serve as the Designated Federal Officer and will attend all meetings.
Each meeting of the Scientific Advisory Panel will be conducted in accordance with an
agenda approved in advance of the meeting by the Designated Federal Officer. The
Designated Federal Officer is authorized under the Federal Advisory Committee Act to
adjourn any meeting of the Scientific Advisory Panel whenever such adjournment is
determined to be in the public interest. The Panel may not conduct any meeting in the
absence of the Designated Federal Officer or his/her designee.
Temporary subpanels may be created at the request of the Assistant Administrator

and discuss specific projects. Such subpanels will consist of ggj hoc consultants with
particular expertise in matters presented to the subpanel, but will always be chaired by
a member of the Scientific Advisory Panel.
It is anticipated that the Panel will conduct approximately five meetings, including
subpanel meetings, each year. Meetings normally last one day, but can be extended
dependent upon the agenda topics and the time needed for review and discussion. A
report of each meeting is prepared within 10-15 working days after the meeting is closed,
which summarizes the Panel's recommendations and conclusions regarding the issues
presented to it by the Agency. Transcripts of the full meeting are also maintained and
available upon request.
7. DURATION. The FIFRA Scientific Advisory Panel shall be needed on a continuing

SCIENTIFIC ADVISORY PANEL
RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The FIFRA Scientific Advisory Panel (FIFRA SAP) fulfills a critical, independent, and
scientific peer review role in the EPA pesticide regulatory program. The Panel is
convened at the discretion of the Agency to provide expert comment and advice on
various aspects of the Agency's scientific review of pesticide issues. During 1993, the
FIFRA SAP met jointly with the Science Advisory Board (SAB) on three occasions,
demonstrating a significant enhancement of the integrated scientific peer review process
which is operative within the Agency. FIFRA SAP & SAB gave scientific advice on the
significance of cholinesterase inhibition and relevance of such measurements in laboratory
animal species, particularly as they impact on the risk assessment of similar effects in
humans. Secondly, FIFRA SAP & SAB provided expert counsel on the carcinogenicity
of 2,4-D, a widely used herbicide in domestic and agricultural settings. The significance
of recent epidemiological reports as they related to evidence for carcinogenicity in
humans as well as domestic animals resulting from exposures to 2,4-D were investigated
and discussed. A report is currently in the final drafting stages for submission to the
Administrator.
The FIFRA SAP continues to provide up-to-date scientific advice affecting
antimicrobial test methodology research, a program the Agency has funded the past
several years. Their input has helped focus the Agency's scientific efforts in this area and
continues to provide much needed advice to the Agency.
The FIFRA SAP has also provided expert scientific advice in the rapidly developing
science of genetically engineered plant pesticides. These materials show promise as
being less toxic alternatives to synthetically produced chemical pesticides. In this context,
FIFRA SAP works closely with the Agency's Biotechnology Science Advisory Committee.
Their recommendations will be incorporated in the regulatory decisions affecting
registration status.
Finally, FIFRA SAP has waived formal regulatory review of three separate issues,
one of which was needed in very short turnaround time. In this manner FIFRA SAP
provides the Agency with regulatory flexibility needed in the Office of Pesticide Programs
to meet changing and challenging demands.

GULF OF MEXICO PROGRAM POLICY REVIEW BOARD
RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The First Generation of the Action Agenda process was completed. This
consensus process has brought focus to needed actions regarding the eight
issues/challenges identified: public health, coastal erosion, nutrient enrichment, living
aquatic resources, habitat degradation, marine debris, toxic substances, and
freshwater inflow in the Gulf. A part of this process is the selection of ten action items
annually from each of the eight Action Agenda and to obtain commitments and initiate
implementation.
The Gulf of Mexico Symposium held in Tarpon Springs, in December 1992
brought together over 2000 people including scientists, environmental managers and
regulators, industry and non-governmental organization representatives, educators,
students, and international representatives from across the region.
The "Partnership for Action" was signed by the governors of all five Gulf states,
representatives from eleven federal agencies, and the chair of the Citizens Advisory
Committee. The agreement is the first time that these combined federal agencies, Gulf
states, and the public have jointly pledged their best efforts to accomplish a common
set of environmental challenges for the Gulf of Mexico.
As an outcome of a co-sponsored workshop in Corpus Christi, with the Gulf of
Mexico Program, U.S. Coast Guard, and the World Bank to promote technical transfer
regarding solid waste management in the prevention of marine debris, the Gulf of
Mexico Program is working with the Organization of American States to develop a pilot
program with the Eastern Caribbean Islands.
The President proclaimed 1993 the Year of the Gulf of Mexico. The Gulf
Program managed the Gulf-wide communication and outreach efforts of the
proclamation. Accomplishments included: greatly expanded public awareness and
knowledge about the importance of the Gulf's finite resources; improved fostering of
public/private partnerships for wise use of the Gulf's resources; and enhanced
recognition of regional efforts to preserve the Gulf.
The Gulf of Mexico Program provided leverage funding to initiate 15 individual
environmental protection or restoration projects around the Gulf.
The Gulf of Mexico Program Office is working with the leadership of the
emerging Gulf of Mexico Business Council for Sustainable Development (GMBCSD).
A supporting counterpart organization was established by Mexico's corporate leaders.

MANAGEMENT ADVISORY GROUP
TO THE ASSISTANT ADMINISTRATOR FOR WATER
RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS
In the past fiscal year (FY1993), the Management Advisory Group (MAG) met one
time to finalize recommendations to the Assistant Administrator for the Office of Water
(OW). The Combined Sewer Overflows and Nonpoint Source Pollution workgroups
finalized their reports and submitted recommendations in December 1993 to the
Administrator for the Environmental Protection Agency. Recommendations for Ecosystem
Protection reached the draft stage but were not finalized.
1. Combined Sewer Overflows (CSO): The MAG members concentrated their efforts on
the development of recommendations to control pollution from combined sewer overflows.
The recommended approach specifies the use of minimum technologies to reduce both
human health and environmental risks and comply with water quality standards. The
committee also recommended that EPA engage in negotiated dialogue with stakeholders.
The Office of Wastewater Enforcement and Compliance, Office of Water, has used MAG's
recommendations as the fundamental foundation for the CSO policy. EPA has, in fact,
engaged in the negotiated dialogue and enjoys support from municipal and environmental
groups who see the CSO policy, which includes MAG recommendations, as their product.
2. Nonpoint Source Pollution: MAG members recommended a framework for an EPA
Nonpoint Sources (NPS) pollution prevention policy that advances water quality goals and
allows cities and states to develop realistic NPS pollution policies and plans that can be
implemented. The Office of Wetlands, Oceans and Watersheds, Office of Water, is using
MAG's recommendations to help formulate an Agency policy on Nonpoint Sources.
Issues include:
• Committing adequate program resources which include linkage with
other federal programs;
• Implementing an aggressive outreach program, focusing on both
problem awareness and viable solutions;
• Developing a strategic plan from the national to state level involving
stakeholders at all levels; incorporate pollution prevention and water quality
mechanisms; define measurable objectives for program evaluation and
problem definition; and
• Continued development of policy, program, and monitoring tools.

UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHARTER
NATIONAL ADVISORY COUNCIL
FOR ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY AND TECHNOLOGY
1. PURPOSE AND AUTHORITY. This Charter renews the National Advisory Council
for Environmental Policy and Technology (NACEPT) which was originally established on
July 7,1988, for an additional two-year period in accordance with the requirements of the
Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. App. 2, §9(c). The purpose of NACEPT is to
provide advice and counsel to the Administrator of EPA on issues associated with
environmental management and policy. It is determined that NACEPT is in the public
interest in connection with the performance of duties imposed on the Agency by law.
2. OBJECTIVES. NACEPT provides independent advice and counsel to the
Administrator on issues such as:
• developing approaches for reducing barriers to environmental technology
development and transfer, institutionalizing public and private pollution prevention
programs, ecosystems management and environmental sustainability and community
empowerment;
• fostering improved global environmental management, and increasing the focus
on environment in international trade and contributions to U.S. competitiveness;
• increasing communication and understanding among all levels of government,
business, nongovernmental organizations and academia, with the goal of increasing non-
federal resources and improving the effectiveness of federal and non-federal resources
directed at solving environmental economic problems;
• implementing statutes, executive orders and regulations previously enacted or
which may be enacted in the future;
• reviewing progress in implementing statutes, executive orders and regulations;
and
• assessing approaches for measuring the environmental benefits of technology
transfer and alternative approaches to environmental protection.
89
-------
ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHARTER
3. SCOPE OF THE ACTIVITY. NACEPT advises, consults with and makes
recommendations on a continuing basis to the Administrator on issues associated with
environmental management generally and on matters relating to activities, functions and
policies under the Federal environmental statutes, executive orders, regulations, and
policies affecting environmental management responsibilities of EPA. NACEPT conducts
meetings, analyzes problems, presents findings, makes recommendations, and performs
other activities as necessary for the attainment of its objectives. It advises the
Administrator on ways to improve development and implementation of domestic and
international environmental management policies, programs, and technologies.
Ecosystems protection, NAFTA implementation and Information Resources Management
Strategic Planning are some of the issues currently under review. NACEPT also provides
external input to Assistant Administrators on selected program topics where appropriate.
NACEPT, working with other EPA organizations, advises the Administrator on broad,
cross-cutting environmental policy and technology issues and priorities.
4. COMPOSITION. NACEPT consists of a group of independent experts selected
from among industry and business; academia, government agencies; international
organizations; environmental groups, non-profit entities, and other non-governmental
organizations. The group shall be of sufficient size and diversity to provide the range of
perspective required to evaluate the issues to be addressed. Most members will be
appointed as representatives of non-federal interests.
NACEPT will be organized in an Executive Committee and several specialized
committees. Subgroups may be established on a temporary or standing basis as
necessary to carry out NACEPT responsibilities. Such subgroups shall report back to the
Executive Committee unless separately chartered. Subgroups that do not function
independently of the Executive Committee are subject to all FACA requirements except
separate chartering, unless exempt from such requirements under the GSA Rule 41 CFR
section 101-6.1004(k).
The Deputy Administrator of the EPA appoints individuals to serve on the Executive
and standing committees. Appointments will be established on a staggered basis for one,
two, or three year terms and may be reappointed for terms not to exceed six years unless
granted by the Deputy Administrator based on justification regarding why an appropriate
replacement cannot be found. The Deputy Administrator or a designee will also appoint
members of the Executive Committee to serve as Chair and Vice-Chair.
5. MEETINGS. The Executive Committee meets at least once each year, and
subgroups meet as necessary. A full-time or permanent part-time salaried officer or
employee of the Agency will act as the Designated Federal Officer who will be present at
90
-------
ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHARTER
all meetings and is authorized to adjourn any such meetings whenever the official
determines it to be in the public interest. All committee meetings will be called,
announced and held in accordance with the EPA Committee Management Manual. The
Manual contains the Agency's policies and procedures for implementing FACA. Among
other things, FACA requires open meetings, and an opportunity for interested pertons to
file comments before or after meetings, or to make statements as permitted by NACEPT
guidelines and to the extent time permits.
Each meeting shall be conducted in accordance with an agenda approved in
advance by a Designated Federal Officer. Budgetary support for NACEPT is provided
through the Office of Cooperative Environmental Management. This office serves as the
executive secretariat to the NACEPT and performs staff support and related assignments
for NACEPT. The estimated annual operating cost totals approximately $1.9M, which
includes 11 workyears of staff support.
6. DURATION. NACEPT shall be needed on a continuing basis and may be renewed
as authorized in accordance with section 14 of the Federal Advisory Committee Act.

NATIONAL ADVISORY COUNCIL FOR ENVIRONMENTAL
POLICY AND TECHNOLOGY
RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The National Advisory Council for Environmental Policy and Technology's
committees met 25 times during 1993 to develop advice and recommendations on a
number of issues highlighted below. A summary report of NACEPT's recommendations
was published in March 1993. Among the most notable was the Superfund Evaluation
Committee's efforts. The Administrator has been highly receptive to the Committees'
deliberations and subsequent proposals and recommendations and believes that their
contributions will be reflected in the Superfund reauthorization in 1994.
The Superfund Evaluation Committee (SEC), established in 1993, was created to
ensure that EPA is informed of the views and concerns of key stakeholder groups and
to assist the Agency in formulating its position on changes relating to Superfund
reauthorization. The objectives of the SEC are to: 1) review the current performance of
the Superfund program; 2) examine the concerns of affected constituencies; 3) identify
possible administrative and legislative improvements; and 4) develop a creative proposal
for change that helps foster improvement in state and local capacities.
The SEC members, selected by the Administrator, broadly represented the affected
constituencies. The SEC met seven times between June and November 1993.
Commitment to public participation was a very important part of the process. This
commitment was demonstrated in a SEC meeting held in Raleigh, NC where video
broadcast to all ten EPA Regions allowed local citizens an opportunity to present
proposals for Superfund reform. The SEC addressed the following topics: remedy
selection, liability scheme, role of the States, municipal liability and environmental justice,
public participation, economic redevelopment and voluntary cleanups. A proposal was
developed and presented to the Deputy Administrator in November for the topic areas.
The Trade and Environment Committee's (TEC) mandate is to provide guidance
to EPA in formulating the Agency's policy on trade and environment, as well as in EPA's
participation in the development of U.S. Government policy on trade and environment.
In the Spring of 1993, the (TEC) published its report, "The Greening of World
Trade," which summarized its recommendations to EPA and the papers that were
developed as a part of the advisory committee process. The Government Printing Office
has sold over 500 copies of and recently reprinted the 240-page publication. Over 2500
copies have been distributed in total.
106

NATIONAL ADVISORY COUNCIL FOR ENVIRONMENTAL
POLICY AND TECHNOLOGY
The TEC's recommendations recognize that the two policy spheres of trade and
environment are not necessarily in conflict. Reconciling trade and environment policies,
while inherently difficult, offers the opportunity for a transition from degradative to
restorative commerce and the inclusion of environmental costs and benefits into
calculations that determine comparative advantage in the international division of labor.
The TEC's recommendations reflect the understanding that trade and environment
policies can and should be mutually reinforcing and sustainable. 1993 was also the
beginning of work on competitiveness, trade and environment, with particular focus on
Section 811 of the Clean Air Act, which requires the President to report to Congress on
the competitiveness effects of the Clean Air Act on U.S. business and industry. This
aspect of TEC's work will continue in 1994.
The Technology Innovation and Economics Committee (TIE) provides advice and
recommendations to EPA on actions that the Agency can take to speed the development,
commercialization, and use of environmentally beneficial technologies. TIE has
concentrated on identifying regulatory and non-regulatory barriers to the development and
diffusion in the marketplace of these environmentally beneficial technologies. Its most
recent report to the Administrator examined EPA's permitting and compliance policies,
and recommended changes to the Agency relating to programs that promote pollution
prevention, technological innovation, and economic productivity.
One TIE report included recommendations to the Agency on improving the effluent
guidelines program to encourage pollution prevention. The TIE is also providing advice
to the Agency on the development of EPA's Innovative Technology Strategy and on the
workplans for the President's Environmental Technology Initiative.
The Environmental Information and Assessment Committee (EIA) was established
to examine policy alternatives related to measuring and tracking change in the
environment. EIA has provided recommendations on chemical accident prevention,
environmental statistics, Toxics Release Inventory issues, the Pollution Prevention
Information Clearinghouse, regulations for radiation site cleanup standards, and issues
associated with the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant. EIA has also initiated a major project to
advise the Agency on developing and implementing an information resources
management strategic plan.
The Pollution Prevention Education Committee (PPEC) recommended in prior
reports that the Administrator provide a forum where unaddressed needs and concerns
of State and local governments could be aired and considered. Additionally, PPEC
recommended that the Agency clarify roles and responsibilities within and outside
107
-------
NATIONAL ADVISORY COUNCIL FOR ENVIRONMENTAL
POLICY AND TECHNOLOGY
of the Agency, on improving delivery of information to state and local governments
These recommendations, as well as others submitted by the PPEC underscored the need
for the Agency to assume a leadership role in the environmental education field and were
instrumental in EPA's creation of the Office of Environmental Education. As a result
responsibility for addressing pollution prevention education issues were transferred to the
Office of Environmental Education, the PPEC membership, as well as NACEPT
considered its work completed. PPEC was terminated in 1993.
The State and Local Environment Committee (SLEC) developed findings and
recommendations included in a report published by EPA titled, Building State and Local
Pollution Prevention Programs (EPA 130-R-93-001 December 1992). Key findings of this
report focus on the increasing value of pollution prevention as a basic strategic approach
to achieving environmental and economic health, as well as the critical role of the private
sector in voluntary reduction of pollution sources. The SLEC underscored the need for
EPA to take advantage of opportunities at the state and local levels for fostering the
development of pollution prevention partnerships. SLEC recommendations address the
need for EPA to: provide leadership and build broader support for pollution prevention-
integrate pollution prevention into mainstream environmental programs- modify
management accountability and funding systems to support prevention efforts; improve
technical capacity and the infrastructure for information exchange about pollution
prevention; clarify the appropriate roles for federal, state, and local governments in
fostering pollution prevention; and expand the role of pollution prevention in meeting the
environmental goals of the wastewater pretreatment program. The findings and
recommendations were provided to EPA's Administrator, the Pollution Prevention Policy
Staff, and all major EPA media programs.
The Lead Subcommittee operates under NACEPT's Policy Integration Committee
(PIC) in cooperation with the Office of Policy, Planning and Evaluation. The Lead
Subcommittee's charge is to advise EPA on integrating policies of differing Federal
agencies that have responsibility for reducing lead exposure, to improve EPA coordination
of its lead reduction activities, and to improve management of lead reduction activities
government-wide. The Lead Subcommittee met four times during 1993. A final meeting
and report submission is planned for 1994.
The Lead Subcommittee expects to provide specific recommendations relating to
state and local government and small business assistance needs; expanded lead-based
paint abatement in public buildings; architectural waste management; and reporting and
approval requirements for new uses of lead.
108
-------
NATIONAL ADVISORY COUNCIL FOR ENVIRONMENTAL
POLICY AND TECHNOLOGY
The Subcommittee (composed of representatives from academia, government,
industry, nongovernmental organizations, medicine and law) focused its efforts on 12
areas: 1) EPA guidance and information programs to reduce exposure to lead in drinking
water; 2) state and local abatement program and funding needs; 3) mechanisms for
ensuring that changes in lead use do not add to existing risks of exposure in the
workplace and generally; 4) options and processes for managing lead contaminated
waste streams; 5) potential use of standardized data collection and reporting systems for
lead test results; 6) policy implications of extending lead paint hazard control requirements
to schools, day care operations, shelters and other public buildings; 7) need for changes
in national ambient air quality standards for lead; 8) research and development needs and
opportunities for increased government/industry research cooperation; 9) policy
implications of reducing statutory blood lead level exposure standards; 10) opportunities
for increased use of training and certification programs for lead based paint abatement
personnel; 11) opportunities for increased outreach and assistance to lead using sectors
that have a significant small business segment; and 12) international issues, such as
transboundary migration of emissions, waste management and recycling of batteries,
labelling, prohibition on use of leaded gasoline.

NATIONAL AIR POLLUTION CONTROL TECHNIQUES ADVISORY COMMITTEE
RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The National Air Pollution Control Techniques Advisory Committee (NAPCTAC)
meets periodically to assess progress in the development of new source performance
standards (NSPS) for stationary sources and national emission standards for hazardous
air pollutants (NESHAP). The Committee also reviews the development and publication
of control techniques documents for specific pollutants and control technique guidelines
(CTG) for selected industries.
At its November 17-19,1992 meeting, the Committee was provided a status report
on several Title III projects which included: source category schedule, early reductions
general provisions, modifications under section 112(g), State program guidance under
section 112(1), municipal waste combustion regulations, and source category deletion
petition process. The Committee was also updated on the maximum available control
technology (MACT) standards for several source categories, including: hazardous
organic NESHAP (HON), dry cleaning, coke ovens, pulp & paper, secondary lead
gasoline distribution (Stage I), halogenated solvent cleaning-degreasing, polymers and
resins, and magnetic tape. Finally, the Committee was provided an overview of the CTG
program under Title I and specifically provided a status reporUon the solvent cleanup
CTG.
In each of the above sessions, members of the Committee were polled for their
guidance and advice after listening to the EPA presentations as well as presentations from
interested participants from the audience. Minutes of the meetings are maintained as
official records of the advice provided to EPA by the Committee. The NAPCTAC
consists of 11 members with diverse backgrounds. It serves EPA and the public by
providing a forum for the expression of different viewpoints and exchange of ideas of the
regulatory issues brought before the Committee for evaluation and comment. During the
period covered by this report, the NAPCTAC received comments from representatives of
EPA, industry, environmental interest groups, government organizations, trade
associations, and control equipment manufacturers.

NATIONAL DRINKING WATER ADVISORY COUNCIL
RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The National Drinking Water Advisory Council held three meetings since the last
reporting period: November 19 and 20, 1992, May 6 and 7, 1993 and December 2 and
3,1993. The major topic of discussion during this period of time was the reauthorization
of the Safe Drinking Water Act. The Agency relied heavily on the recommendations of the
Advisory Council concerning changes needed to the current statute. The most
controversial of these was the standard setting process. Following the May 1993
meeting, the Agency used the recommendations of the Advisory Council to help formulate
the Administration's position on Reauthorization. Issues included: establishing a drinking
water state revolving fund; maintaining state primacy through user fees; ensuring the
viability of small systems; establishing small system "Best Available Technology"; training
and certifying system operators; improving the process of selecting contaminants for
regulation; providing EPA flexibility to set compliance timeframes; and streamlining and
strengthening enforcement provisions.
The Council advised the Agency to consider all water as part of the total water
cycle, choosing the best source for drinking water. They recommended that during
reauthorization of the Safe Drinking Water Act, the Clean Water Act and related legislation,
efforts should be made to provide comprehensive source protection and watershed
management as the bridge to holistically protect ambient water quality. The Council feels
that pollution prevention should be the driving force behind any legislative activity.
Research needs were a consistent theme in all three Council meetings. The
Council feels that the current regulatory climate may be characterized by detection of new
contaminants, the ability to observe lower concentrations of these contaminants and
debates by epidemiologists, health professionals and risk assessors as to the possible
adverse health effects associated with exposure to these contaminants. In addition,
technical advances have been seen in the area of engineering control. This is occurring
simultaneously with decreasing expenditures on research and increased costs for
regulation in the field of drinking water. The Council expressed dismay and concern over
continuing reductions in funding drinking water research, even in the face of rapidly
expanding and costly regulatory requirements and the continuing threat to health
exemplified by recent outbreaks of cryptosporidiosis, giardia and other diseases. Effective
regulations designed to control chemical and microbial risks cannot be developed without
a credible scientific basis derived through research. In the absence of adequate research,
the Council believes a real threat exists that regulations could be promulgated that are
actually adverse to health. In a letter of concern to the Administrator, the Council pointed
out that the safety of a substance as essential to life as water, which is actually consumed
by every person in this country on a daily basis, should receive high priority in allocating
scarce research funds.

when the Congress created the statutorily mandated Science Advisory Board by the
Environmental Research, Development, and Demonstration Authorization Act (ERDDAA)
of 1978, 42 U.S.C. 4365. The Science Advisory Board charter was renewed October 31,
1979; November 19, 1981; November 3, 1983; October 25, 1985; November 6, 1987;
November 8, 1989; and November 8, 1991.
2. SCOPE OF ACTIVITY. The activities of the Board will include analyzing problems,
conducting meetings, presenting findings, making recommendations, and other activities
necessary for the attainment of the Board's objectives. Ad hoc panels may be
established to carry out these special activities in which consultants of special expertise
may be used who are not members of the Board.
3. OBJECTIVES AND RESPONSIBILITIES. The objective of the Board is to provide
independent advice to EPA's Administrator on the scientific and technical aspects of
environmental problems and issues. While the Board reports to the Administrator, it may
also be requested to provide advice to the U. S. Senate Committee on Environment and
Public Works or the U. S. House Committees on Science and Technology, Energy and
Commerce, or Public Works and Transportation. The Board will review scientific issues,
provide independent scientific and technical advice on EPA's major programs, and
perform special assignments as requested by Agency officials and as required by the
Environmental Research, Development, and Demonstration Authorization Act of 1978 and
the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1977. Responsibilities include the following:
• Reviewing and advising on the adequacy and scientific basis of any proposed
criteria document, standard, limitation, or regulation under the Clean Air Act, the Federal
Water Pollution Control Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the Noise
Control Act, the Toxic Substances Control Act, the Safe Drinking Water Act, the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, or any other

engineers of sufficient size and diversity to provide the range of expertise required to
assess the scientific and technical aspects of environmental issues. The Board will be
organized into an executive committee and several specialized committees, all members
of which shall be drawn from the Board.
The Board is authorized to constitute such specialized committees and ad hoc
investigative panels and subcommittees as the Administrator and the Board find
necessary to carry out its responsibilities. The Administrator will review the need for such
specialized committees and investigative panels at least once a year to decide which
should be continued. These committees and panels will report through the Executive
Committee.
The Administrator also shall appoint a Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee of the
Board to provide the scientific review and advice required by the Clean Air Act
Amendments of 1990. This group, established by separate charter, will be an integral part

A full-time or permanent part-time Federal officer or employee of the Agency, who will
serve as the Designated Federal Officer (DFO), will be present at all meetings and is
authorized to adjourn any such meeting whenever this official determines it to be in the
public interest. The Committee may not conduct any meetings in the absence of the DFO
or his/her designee. Committee meetings will be called, announced, and held in
accordance with the EPA Committee Management Manual. The Manual contains the
Agency's policies and procedures for implementing FACA. Among other things, FACA
requires open meetings, and an opportunity for interested persons to file comments
before or after meetings, or to make statements as permitted by the Committee's
guidelines and to the extent that time permits.
Support for the Board's activities will be provided by the Office of the Administrator,
EPA. The estimated total annual operating cost will be approximately $1,689,000 and the
estimated Federal permanent staff support will be 16 work-years.
6. DURATION. The Board shall be needed on a continuing basis. This charter will

SCIENCE ADVISORY BOARD
RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS
During FY1993, the nine SAB Standing Committees conducted 54 public meetings
and one closed meeting, all of which were announced in the Federal Register. In
addition, twelve public conference calls were held for planning, writing, and discussion
purposes. A wide variety of topics were covered including health effects of specific
chemicals, techniques for assessing risks at Superfund sites, aspects of the Agency's
research program, and various reports to Congress.
The SAB was involved with nearly every program office of the Agency. The SAB
responded to requests for reviews from the Agency and took the initiative in delving into
new areas and approaches, providing technical advice to the Agency.
The activities of the individual Committees are summarized in the sections below:
Executive Committee (EC)
In FY 1993 the EC was active beyond its scheduled quarterly meetings. Much of the
activity involved exploring new partnerships and interactions to address science-related
issues facing the Agency.
This increased involvement was anticipated by the EC-coordinated FY 1993 Annual
Membership Meeting which focused on the topic: "The Role of the Science Advisory
Board". During this annual meeting, the Vice Chair of the Environmental Financial
Advisory Board (EFAB), announced a collaborative effort between EFAB and SAB leaders
to explore providing joint advice on topics that have scientific and financial components.
Specifically, the groups examined the interface between the selection of environmental risk
reduction options and financing those options. While this partnership effort did not
generate a specific report, it did develop mutual understandings and relationships that
could serve the Board and the Agency in the future.
As noted below, four different SAB committees (EEAC, EEC, EHC, and EPEC)
formed a partnership to examine aspects of the Agency's regulatory impact analysis (RIA)
of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Corrective Action rule. Given
the breadth and complexity of the issues involved, the EC established a RCRA-RIA
Steering Committee to coordinate the SAB's activities and response, including generation
of a synthesized, overview report, which will be transmitted to the Agency in FY 1994.
In FY 1993, the Board was mandated by Congress to review and comment on
aspects of the Agency's multi-media assessment of risks posed by radon and associated
remediation costs. The EC established a Steering Committee to coordinate the review
152
-------
SCIENCE ADVISORY BOARD
of two different committees and to prepare an overview report. Under a significant time
constraint the Board met the schedule and submitted a report.
The EC continued its FY 1992 effort to provide assistance to the Superfund Office by
investigating site-specific issues at the Industrial Excess Landfill Site in Uniontown, OH.
This activity is part of the Board's attempt to determine whether and how it might provide
advice to Program and Regional Offices, and the public in resolving technical issues in
site-specific situations.
At the quarterly meeting, in July the Assistant Administrators asked the Board to
initiate a project to anticipate future environmental problems. Following an endorsement
from Administrator Browner, the EC established an Environmental Futures Project
Steering Committee (EFC) to plan and guide a major effort throughout FY 1994.
The EC issued one letter report and one commentary, both addressing concerns
with radon: a) Radon Overview letter report EPA-SAB-EC-LTR-93-010, and b) Radon
Commentary EPA-SAB-EC-COM-93-003.
Drinking Water Committee (DWC)
The Drinking Water Committee was formed from a Subcommittee of the
Environmental Health Committee and includes experts in the effects and control of
microbiological agents and chemicals in drinking water. In the past, the primary client for
DWC was the Office of Drinking Water. This year the DWC also served the Office of
Science and Technology in a joint review with EPEC of the Great Lakes Water Quality
Initiative and in further reviews of water quality criteria methods, as well as the Office of
Radiation Programs on drinking water treatment for radon.
The DWC held six committee meetings and issued four reports (one jointly with
EPEC), one commentary, and a notice of consultation resulting in: a) Review of the
Methodology for Developing Ambient Water Quality Criteria for the Protection of Human
Health (EPA-SAB-DWC-93-016), b) Review by the Drinking Water Committee of the Water
Research Program at the Health Effects Research Laboratory (HERL)
(EPA-SAB-DWC-93-001), c) Review of Issues Related to the Cost of Mitigating Indoor
Radon Resulting from Drinking Water (EPA-SAB-DWC-93-015) [Multi-media Risks of
Radon], d) Review of the Great Lakes Water Quality Initiative
(EPA-SAB-EPEC/DWC-93-005), Commentary on Requirements for Nationwide Approval
of New and Optionally Revised Methods for Inorganic and Organic Analyses in National
153
-------
SCIENCE ADVISORY BOARD
Primary Drinking Water Regulations Monitoring (EPA-SAB-DWC-COM-93-002), and e)
Notification of a Consultation on the Draft Drinking Water Criteria Documents for Chlorine
and for Chloramines (EPA-SAB-DWC-CON-93-001).
In addition, other transmittals to the Administrator on what will occur in FY 1994
include: a) Review of the Draft Criteria Document for Arsenic in Drinking Water, b)
Review of the Research Program on Disinfectants and Disinfection By-Products in the Risk
Reduction Research Laboratory, and c) Commentary on the outcome of the regulatory
negotiations regarding disinfectants and disinfection by-products.
Ecological Processes and Effects Committee (EPEC)
In FY 1993, EPEC held 7 meetings and produced two reports (one jointly with
DWC), one letter report, and one commentary: a) Review of the Great Lakes Water
Quality Initiative (EPA-SAB-EPEC/DWC-93-005), b) Review of Sediment Criteria
Development Methodology for Non-Ionic Organic Contaminants (EPA-SAB-EPEC-93-002),
c) Review of the Research Program for Environmental Release of Biotechnology Products
(EPA-SAB-EPEC-LTR-93-012), and d) Commentary on the Agency's Research and
Management Programs for Coastal Ecosystems (EPA-SAB-EPEC-COM-93-005).
In keeping with its commitment the Committee scheduled regular briefings on key
programs, and engaged in consultations on the following issues: a) The Agency's draft
Habitat Strategy (EPA-SAB-EPEC-CON-93-003), b) Environmental Monitoring and
Assessment Program (EMAP) Assessment Hierarchy (EPA-SAB-EPEC-CON-93-005), and
c) Proposed Revisions to the Aquatic Life Water Quality Criteria Guidelines
(EPA-SAB-EPEC-CON-93-006).
Other reviews begun include: a) an evaluation of draft technical guidance for
biological criteria for streams, b) a review of the ecological assessment in the RCRA-RIA,
c) a review of the draft testing manual for discharge of dredged material into inland or
near coastal waters, d) a review of the EMAP Assessment Framework, and e) a review
of portions of the global climate change research program.
Environmental Economics Advisory Committee (EEAC)
During FY 1993, the Committee conducted four meetings and released one letter
report: Science Advisory Board's Comments on the Office of Management and Budget's
"Health-Health" Concept (EPA-SAB-EEAC-LTR-93-005). The report addresses a contro-

versial theory that regulations imposed to promote specific health benefits could have
unintended negative general health consequences. The Committee (in concert with three
other SAB Committees) currently has two reports on the RCRA-RIA in preparation for FY
1994 release.
Environmental Engineering Committee (EEC)
The EEC conducted eight meetings; three of the full Committee, and five of various
subcommittees, covering 10 topics, of which 4 were continued from the previous fiscal

SMALL TOWN ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING TASK FORCE
RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The Task Force held its organizational meeting March 3-4,1994 and discussed its
statutory responsibilities to identify regulations posing significant compliance problems for
small towns; identify means to improve the working relationship between EPA and small
towns; review proposed regulations and suggest revisions that could improve the ability
of small towns to comply; and identify means to promote regionalization.
The Task Force preliminarily identified a list of significant proposed or current
regulations:
surface water treatment
nonpoint source pollution
watershed protection
Safe Drinking Water Act monitoring provisions
NPDES stormwater
storage/disposal of low-level radioactive waste
RCRA Subtitle D Landfills
sludge disposal
wetlands
Davis-Bacon Law on wages
underground storage tank compliance dates
lead and copper
stormwater
combined sewer overflows
Oil Pollution Control Act actions
Members stressed that although individual rules can be a problem, the overriding
concern is the basic ability of small towns to comply. After a substantive dialogue
addressing various facets of small town concerns, the Task Force elected to form a
subcommittee for the purpose of drafting a resolution to be considered at the next
meeting. The resolution would address the unique nature of America's small
communities, and the need to treat small towns differently in the regulatory process.

UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHARTER
WOOD FURNITURE MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY NEGOTIATED
RULEMAKING ADVISORY COMMITTEE (NRAC)
1. PURPOSE. This charter establishes the Wood Furniture Manufacturing Industry
Negotiated Rulemaking Advisory Committee, in accordance with the provisions of the
Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5 U.S.C. App. 2, §9(c), and the Negotiated
Rulemaking Act, 5 U.S.C. Sections 581-590.
2. AUTHORITY. It is determined that establishment of this Committee is in the public
interest and supports the EPA in performing its duties and responsibilities under Section
112 and Section 183 of the Clean Air Act (CAA), as amended.
3- OBJECTIVE AND SCOPE OF ACTIVITY The Committee will serve as an integral
part of the EPA's development of a rulemaking approach to control hazardous air
pollutants (HAP's) and volatile organic compounds (VOC's) from wood furniture
manufacturing operations. It will attempt, via face-to-face negotiations, to reach
consensus on concepts and language to use as the basis of a national emission standard
for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) implementing Section 112 and a control techniques
guideline (CTG) implementing Section 183 of the CAA, as amended.
4. FUNCTIONS. The Committee's function is to assist directly in the development of
rules to control HAP emissions, and guidelines to reduce VOC emissions from wood
furniture manufacturing operations. With the participation of knowledgeable, affected
parties, the EPA expects to develop a practical approach to controlling these emissions
at less cost than traditional rulemaking. In addition, the Committee's success or lack
thereof will help the EPA assess the procedures and circumstances which best foster
successful negotiations.
5- COMPOSITION. The Committee will consist of approximately 25 members.
Members will represent the following segments of the population in appropriate mix and
balance:
• Affected Industry
• U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
• State and Local Air Pollution Agencies
• Environmental Groups
168
-------
ADVISORY COMMITTEE COMMITTEE
Appropriate members will be selected and appointed for the duration of the
negotiation itself. A full-time salaried official or regular employee of the EPA will serve as
the Designated Federal Officer and will be present at all meetings. The Designated
Federal Officer is authorized to adjourn any meeting whenever it is determined to be in
the public interest to do so. The Committee is authorized to form work groups for any
purpose consistent with this Charter. Such work groups shall report back to the full
Committee. Work groups have no authority to make decisions on behalf of the full
Committee nor can they report directly to the EPA.
The EPA may pay travel and per diem expenses when necessary and appropriate,
and may compensate members as provided for under the Negotiated Rulemaking Act of
1990. The Committee's estimated annual operating cost is approximately $50,000, which
includes .3 work years of staff support. The EPA's Office of Policy, Planning and
Evaluation will provide administrative and process support to the Committee.
6. MEETINGS. Meetings shall be held as necessary, at the call of the Chair, with an
agenda for each meeting approved in advance by the Designated Federal Officer.
Committee meetings will be called, announced, and held in accordance with the EPA
Committee Management Manual. This manual contains the EPA's policies and
procedures for implementing the FACA. Among other things, FACA requires open
meetings and an opportunity for interested persons to file comments before or after
meetings, or to make statements to the extent that time permits.
7. DURATION. The Committee will terminate 1 year after establishment, unless the
Agency determines that the Committee will finish its work within 30 days of the original
termination date. If the Agency makes such a determination, we can extend the
termination date by 30 days without further consultation with OMB. In the event more
time is needed, the EPA may seek an extension under Section 14 of the FACA.

WOOD FURNITURE MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY NRAC
RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The Wood Furniture Manufacturing Advisory Committee held four plenary and over
twenty workgroup meetings. It is now close to full consensus on a proposed rule which
would control Volatile Organic Compounds [VOCs] and Hazardous Air Pollutants [HAPs]
generated in the manufacturing and finishing of wood furniture. The group also is close
to full consensus on a Control Techniques Guideline, a document which the states use
to help them determine best available industry pollution abatement techniques.

priations, the date for submission of reports (if any), the dura-
tion of the advisory committee, and the publication of reports
and other materials, to the extent that the standing committee

section, means a committee or other group composed in whole or in part of otner tnan
full-time officers or employees of the Federal Government with an established existence
outside the agency seeking its advice which the President or agency official(s) adopts,
such as through institutional arrangements, as a preferred source from which to ootain
advice or recommendations on a specific issue or policy within the scope of his or her
responsibilities in the same manner as that individual would obtain advice or
recommendations from an established advisory committee.
S 101-6.1004 Examples of advisory meetings or groups not covered by the Act or this
subpart.
The following are examples of advisory meetings or groups not covered by the Act oc

advisory functions. Operational functions are those specifically provided by law, such as
making or implementing Government decisions or policy. An operational committee may be
covered by the Act if it becomes primarily advisory in nature. It is the responsibility
of the administering agency to determine whether such a committee is primarily

group's deliberations as a source of consensus advice or recommendations;
(j) Any meeting initiated by a group with the President or one or more Federal
official(s) for the purpose of expressing the group's view, provided that the President oc
Federal official(s) does not use the group recurrently as a preferred source of advice or

to gather information or conduct research for a chartered advisory committee, to analyze
relevant issues and facts, or to draft proposed position papers for deliberation by tne
advisory committee or a subcommittee of the advisory committee; or

official(s) for the purpose of exchanging facts or information.
S 101-6.1005 Authorities for establishment of advisory
committees.
An advisory committee may be established in one of four ways:
(a) By law where the Congress specifically directs the President or an agency to
establish it;
(b) By law where the Congress authorizes but does not direct the President or an agency
to establish it. In this instance, the responsible agency head shall follow the
procedures provided in S 101-6.1007;
(c) By the President by Executive Order; or
(d) By an agency under general agency authority in Title 5 of the United States Code or
