THE ADMINISTRATOR
EPA has a vital mission to protect air, water, and land resources. We are
committed to working closely with State and local governments, industry,
environmentalists, scientists, and citizens generally to make progress on many complex
environmental problems. EPA's advisory committee program, operating under the
authority of the Federal Advisory Committee Act, plays an integral role in achieving our
environmental objectives. Their collective scientific knowledge, independent perspectives,
and outreach to key constituencies enable us to make better decisions, which will protect
human health and improve our quality of life.
The Federal advisory committees and councils have proved important public
forums where cooperative, collaborative efforts have resulted in more effective EPA
programs. One example is the successful use of negotiated rulemaking to develop
regulations having greater acceptance, thus lessening the prospect for costly litigation.
Another outstanding product of our advisory committee program this year has
been the report issued by the Expert Panel on the Role of Science at EPA. The findings
and recommendations of this effort provide a catalyst for improving the quality of science
at the Agency.
Since our 1991 publication, seven new advisory committees have been established.
We welcome their participation and look forward to working with them. They are:
Council on Clean Air Act Compliance Analysis
Environmental Statistics Technical Advisory Committee
EPA Environmental Border Plan Public Advisory Committee
Federal Facility Environmental Restoration Dialogue Committee
National Emission Standards for Coke Oven Batteries Committee
National Environmental Education Advisory Council
Lawn Care Pesticide Advisory Committee
We are grateful for the valuable contributions of the many distinguished members
on these and our other advisory committees. We will continue to draw on their collective
wisdom and dedication to meet the environmental challenges ahead.

ACID RAIN ADVISORY COMMITTEE
RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The Acid Rain Advisory Committee (ARAC) was established to provide independent
advice and counsel to the Agency on policy and technical issues associated with
development and implementation of the acid rain control program. The 44 member
Committee consists of public utility commissioners, state air pollution control officials,
utility executives, environmentalists, consumer advocates, pollution control
representatives, academicians, and individuals representing coal and gas interests.
During FY 1991, the Committee held six full committee meetings between mid-
December and the end of July. In addition, five subcommittee meetings were held.
During FY 1992, four subcommittees convened and a full committee meeting was held
in December. Each of these meetings was open to the public. The Committee made
outstanding contributions by providing expert assistance to EPA in formulating the key
regulations of the acid rain control program. The Committee's structure allowed for an
interplay of diverse opinions and positions from various individuals and groups helping
to generate workable solutions to potentially problematic issues in the regulations.
To promote a more incisive examination of the problems confronting the key acid
rain proposed regulations, ARAC was divided into four key subcommittees reflecting the
four most complicated and contentious sections of the legislation: permits, allowances,
monitoring, and conservation and renewable energy. (Two additional subcommittees
dealing with nitrogen oxides and opt-in rules were formed in July, 1991.)
Full Committee Meeting Dates:
o December 13-14, 1990
o January 28-29, 1991
o February 21-22, 1991
o March 21-22, 1991
o April 29-May 1, 1991
o July 15-16, 1991
o December 3-4, 1991

BIOTECHNOLOGY SCIENCE ADVISORY COMMITTEE
RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The Biotechnology Science Advisory Committee (BSAC) held a full committee
meeting on September 30, 1991. Members discussed the following reports on
Subcommittee work which has been completed:
(1) Report on the BSAC Subcommittee on Ecoregions-which discussed the use
of an ecoregion geographic framework to predict the fate of microorganisms in the
environment.
(2) Report on the BSAC Subcommittee on Good Developmental Practices-
which discussed the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development draft
document "Good Developmental Practices for Small Scale Research with Genetically
Modified Plant and Micro-Organisms.
(3) Report on the BSAC Subcommittee on Implementation of Scope Principles
under TSCA and FIFRA-which discussed the EPA implementation, under TSCA and
FIFRA, of the "Principles for Federal Oversight of Biotechnology".
The Committee also heard reports on the status of biotechnology rules, the
Scientific Advisory Panel Meeting on the Proposed Rule under FIFRA, the BSAC
Subcommittee on Mobile Genetic Elements, BSAC cooperation with other Advisory
Committees, OPTS product reviews, and the Office of Research and Development's
biotechnology research.
The Committee also heard a report on the BSAC Subcommittee meeting that was
held on July 22, 1991, to discuss the proposed biotechnology rule under TSCA. The
Subcommittee provided advise to EPA on scientific issues in the proposed rule. The
Subcommittee recommended that the TSCA proposal, after consideration of the
Subcommittee comments, be published for public comment.
The BSAC Committee and subcommittee meetings described above 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 ongoing development of the biotechnology industry.

CLEAN AIR ACT ADVISORY COMMITTEE
RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The Clean Air Act Advisory Committee (CAAAC) was established in November
1990. Members were appointed in March 1991, and its first meeting was held on April
11, 1991. The Committee's purpose is to provide high-level, independent advice to the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on policy issues related to the
implementation of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments. The objectives of the Committee
are to:
o Facilitate effective two-way communication between EPA and the segments
of our society directly affected by the new Clean Air Act,
o Discuss societal, economic and energy implications of the Act's
implementation which are broader than the Act itself,
L
o Address voluntary pollution reduction, market-based approaches and other
major cross-cutting implementation issues, and
o Discuss broad implementation issues in all Titles of the Act, except acid rain
and stratospheric ozone depletion which have separate Advisory Committees.
The CAAAC is comprised of 50 senior representatives from state and local
government, academic institutions, unions, environmental and public interest groups,
industries and service groups.
The Committee has organized itself into four Workgroups: Federal and State
Relations, Energy and Transportation, Flexibility and Market-Based, and Early Reductions
and Pollution Prevention. Since its formation the Committee has held five meetings and
has provided advice and recommendations to EPA on the following issues: 1) Effective
communication/outreach methods for implementing the Early Reductions Program; 2)
Rulemaking options on vehicle inspection and maintenance requirements (the Committee
passed a resolution supporting the issuance of the most technically advanced and
comprehensive I/M option); 3) Alternative programs that would assist and encourage
states to promote energy efficiency as an air quality strategy; 4) Effective consultation and
communication techniques that could be applied at the State and local levels, and 5)
Regulatory reform options to be used in submitting the results of a 90-day regulations
review to the White House.
Finally, the Committee issued a brochure entitled "An Introductory Guide to Smart
Implementation" that was transmitted to a wide audience of state and local officials,
Chambers of Commerce, environmental and health organizations and other interested
parties.

CLEAN AIR SCIENTIFIC ADVISORY COMMITTEE
RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Historically, the majority of CASAC activity has centered around the ambient air
quality criteria chemicals; e.g., sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides. During the past year
the Committee reviewed the Agency's updated position on the ambient criteria for carbon
monoxide. They will consider the nitrogen oxides criteria later this year.
With the passage of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 the workload for
CASAC is expected to increase substantially. The legislation calls for Agency action on
a wide range of issues, many of whose technical underpinnings will be reviewed by the
Committee. As one example, CASAC has formed a Panel to examine the Agency's
approach to the ranking of the 189 hazardous air-pollutants listed in the Amendments.
Additional issues include the Agency's appr&ach to fuels which may be alternatives to
gasoline and the assessment of risks posed by diesel emissions.

UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHARTER
COMMITTEE ON NATIONAL ACCREDITATION
OF ENVIRONMENTAL LABORATORIES
1. PURPOSE AND AUTHORITY. The purpose of the Committee on National
Accreditation of Environmental Laboratories is to provide advice and counsel to the
Administrator, Deputy Administrator, and the Environmental Monitoring Management
Council (EMMC) concerning establishing a national accreditation program for
environmental testing laboratories that provide services to governmental and private
sector organizations in support of activities related to compliance with federal and state
environmental statutes and regulations. The committee is established in accordance with
the Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. App. II § 9(c).
2. DUTIES AND SCOPE OF ACTIVITIES. The committee shall make recommendations
regarding the need for and the advisability of establishing a national program to accredit
environmental testing laboratories. The committee shall consider whether a national
program is needed, what role EPA should play in laboratory accreditation, and what
alternatives to a national program might be considered. In developing its
recommendations, the committee shall consider all of the public and private sector
perspectives on laboratory accreditation, including but not limited to the concerns of the
federal government, state and local governments, the environmental testing laboratory
industry, the regulated community, and the general public. The committee or its members
may consult with other groups in the public and/or private sector concerned with the
issue of national laboratory accreditation in order to understand the wide range of
opinions and concerns on this issue. The committee will provide analysis, conduct
reviews, produce reports, and perform all other activities necessary to develop, support,
document, and present its recommendations.
3. OBJECTIVES. The Committee on National Accreditation of Environmental
Laboratories is to complete a one-year study of national laboratory accreditation to
determine the need for a national accreditation program, to examine alternatives to a
national program, and to determine the appropriate role for EPA. This would include: (1)
characterizing the laboratory evaluation needs of users of environmental testing services,
(2) evaluating program designs, (3) examining program implementation options, and (4)
determining the benefit of accreditation to EPA and others.
4. COMPOSITION. The committee will be led by a chairperson, appointed by the

RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The Committee on National Accreditation of Environmental Laboratories has met
three times between July, 1991 and February, 1992. The following issues have been
covered:
o A needs assessment was conducted which included the entire spectrum of
affected parties. This yielded an overall goal which is to: "obtain data of the
needed quality in a cost effective manner".
o An inclusive list of possible alternatives to respond to the overarching goal
was developed. All proposed solutions were then examined to identify the
advantages and disadvantages.
o Based on the findings the field was narrowed down from 15 to 4
alternatives, among which a national environmental laboratory accreditation
program was preeminent.
o The elements of a national environmental accreditation program have been
defined from the perspective of the laboratory requirements and also the
accrediting organization.
o The scope of any program has been defined to cover all media under all
EPA programs.
o The issue of fraudulent activities in the laboratory community has been
addressed and the potential interaction and cooperation between any
national uniform program and enforcement agencies has been described.
o Possible scenarios for implementation of a national program have been
identified.
The committee will meet at least one more time in order to submit cost information,
to establish the ranking of the identified alternatives, to recommend options for
administration of the program and the role of EPA, and to develop a final report.

SCIENCE ADVISORY BOARD
COUNCIL ON CLEAN AIR COMPLIANCE ANALYSIS
RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The CAACAC met for the first time on April 14, 1992. The meeting was devoted
to briefings on EPA economic issues of interest to the Office of Policy, Planning, and
Evaluation (OPPE), the Office of Air and Radiation (OAR), to briefings on Agency policies
on conflict of interest and the functioning of the Science Advisory Board, and to reviewing
the joint OPPE/OAR workplan for performing the retrospective study of impacts of the
Clean Air Act (CAA) required by the 1990 CAA amendments.

UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHARTER
ENVIRONMENTAL FINANCIAL ADVISORY BOARD
1. PURPOSE AND AUTHORITY. This Charter establishes the Environmental Financial
Advisory Board in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act
(FACA), 5 U.S.C. App. II § 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.
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. They must also provide an array of other environmental services, such as
garbage collection, to their communities. 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.
40
-------
ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHARTER
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 THE EFAB. 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 issue papers, as necessary, and solicit comments from persons who are not
members of the Board.
5. COMPOSITION. 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 and banking community;
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 thirty-
three members and is authorized to form subgroups to report back to the Board.
41
-------
ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHARTER
6. MEMBERSHIP AND MEETINGS. The Deputy Administrator or his/her designee
appoints individuals to serve on the Board for an initial term of one year. At the
conclusion of the one-year period, members may be reappointed or new members
appointed to serve on the Board. These appointments will be established on staggered
terms. The Deputy Administrator or a designee will appoint members of the Board to
serve as the Chair and Vice Chair.
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 of the Board, who will be present at all meetings and is authorized to adjourn
meetings whenever it is in the public interest. Budgetary support for the Advisory Board
is provided through the Public-Private Partnerships staff in EPA's Resource Management
Division. This staff serves as the executive secretariat to the Board and performs staff
support and related assignments. The estimated annual operating costs total
approximately $140,000, which includes 1.4 workyears of staff support.
7. DURATION. The Advisory Board may be needed on a continuing basis and may
be renewed beyond its initial two-year period from the effective date as filed with the
Congress, 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 August
1989 to provide authoritative analysis and advice on environmental finance to assist EPA
in carrying out its mission. Initially a committee of the National Advisory Council For
Environmental Technology Policy, EFAB became an independent advisory board in
February 1991 consistent with the requirements of the Federal Advisory Committee Act.
Organized in four workgroups -- Small Community, Private Sector, Public Sector
and Economic Incentives -- the Board met several times in 1991-1992 to analyze financing
alternatives and develop formal advisory statements. EFAB activities included:
o May 1991 - The Small Community Workgroup, chaired by Senator Pete V.
Domenici of New Mexico, met in Albuquerque to hear the views of public and
private officials on financing environmental facilities in small communities.
o August 1991 - EFAB issued advisories to the Administrator on small community
financing strategies and economic incentives for environmental investment.
o December 1991 - The Board met in Washington, DC to complete two more
advisories and begin to shape its future agenda.
o March 1992 - EFAB issued advisories to the Administrator on private sector
incentives and public financing options.
o The Board expects to reorganize its workgroup structure, develop and finalize
additional advisory statements, and hold further meetings during 1992. Anticipated
activities include:
o replacing its workgroups with committees examining a range of
environmental financing areas including -- education and communication,
international/cross-border issues, paying for mandates and Clean Water Act
Reauthorization activities;
o producing a finance guide advisory to aid federal,state, and local officials in
implementation of the Clean Air Act Amendments;
o supporting the work of the Agency's State and Local Capacity Task Force
as it examines environmental financing options.
o holding a May meeting to be keynoted by EPA Administrator William K.
Reilly focusing on actions the Agency can take to contribute to
environmental progress and economic revitalization; and

UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHARTER
FEDERAL FACILITIES ENVIRONMENTAL RESTORATION DIALOGUE COMMITTEE
1. PURPOSE. This charter establishes the Federal Facilities Environmental
Restoration Dialogue Committee, in accordance with the provisions of the Federal
Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5 U.S.C. App. II § 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
61
-------
ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHARTER
• Federal Agency representatives
• Other Interested and Affected Parties
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 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.
Under the Federal Advisory Commitfee 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.

ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHARTER
FEDERAL INSECTICIDE, FUNGICIDE, AND RODENTICIDE ACT
SCIENTIFIC ADVISORY PANEL
I. PURPOSE. This charter is reissued to renew the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide,
and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) Scientific Advisory Panel in accordance with the
requirements of the Federal Advisory Committee Act 5 U.S.C. App. II § 9(c).
2. AUTHORITY. The former Panel was created on November 28, 1975, pursuant to
Section 25(d) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as
amended by Public Law 94-140, Public Law 95-396, and Public Law 96-539. In
accordance with this statute, the Panel terminated on September 30, 1981. It was
reestablished by the Administrator pursuant to the Federal Advisory Committee Act
(FACA) and Section 2l(b) of FIFRA on April 25,1983, and then reauthorized as a statutory
committee by amendment to the FIFRA dated December 2, 1983 (Public Law 98-201).
Under FIFRA (Public Law 98-201), the statutory Panel terminated on September 30,1987.
It was administratively reestablished on October 1,1987 by the Administrator pursuant to
FACA until reauthorized as a statutory Panel by amendment to the FIFRA, dated October
25, 1988 (Public Law 100-532).
3. OBJECTIVE AND SCOPE OF ACTIVITY. The Panel will provide independent
scientific advice on pesticides and pesticide-related issues as to the impact on health and
the environment of the following regulatory actions:
• Notice of intent to cancel a pesticide registration or change its classification
under Section 6(b)(l) of FIFRA;
• Notice of intent to hold a hearing to determine whether or not a pesticide
registration should be canceled or its classification changed under Section 6(b)(2) of
FIFRA;
• Emergency orders immediately suspending registration of a pesticide before
notification of the registrants pursuant to Section 6(c)(3) of FIFRA; and
• Regulations to be issued under Section 25(a) of FIFRA.

recommendations for operating guidelines to improve the effectiveness and quality of
scientific analyses made by personnel of the Environmental Protection Agency that lead
to decisions by the Administrator.
68
-------
ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHARTER
The comments, evaluations, and recommendations of the Panel and the response
of the Administrator shall be published in the Federal Register. The Administrator also
may use the Panel to provide peer review of major scientific studies.
4. FUNCTION. The fundamental purpose of FIFRA is to ensure that pesticides do not
cause "unreasonable adverse effects on the environment," as defined in Section 2(bb) 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 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 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 of 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.
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 ensure multidisciplinary representation, the Panel membership shall include
representation from the disciplines of toxicology, pathology, environmental biology, and
69
-------
ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHARTER
related sciences (e.g., pharmacology, biotechnology, biochemistry, 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
conflict 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 1.25 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 Pesticides and Toxic Substances, or his/her designee, or at the request of the
Chairperson with the concurrence of the Assistant Administrator for 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 shall be open to the public (an
exception to this is provided for in 41 CFR Part 101-6, which gives guidance for closing all
or part of a meeting); interested persons shall be permitted to file written statements
before or after meetings and provide oral 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 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
70
-------
ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHARTER
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
for Pesticides and Toxic Substances or the Chairperson of the Panel to review and
discuss specific projects. Such subpanels will consist of 3d, 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 formal meetings and
three 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, and summaries of 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
basis. The Charter is subject to the renewal process upon the expiration of each
successive two-year period following the date of enactment of the Act establishing the
Panel.
8. SUPERSESSION. The former charter of the FIFRA Scientific Advisory Panel signed
on January 3, 1989, is hereby superseded.

GULF OF MEXICO PROGRAM
POLICY REVIEW BOARD
RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS
o Establishment of an action plan process and development of a first draft action plan
for Marine Debris. This process has brought focus to needed actions regarding the
issues identified in this consensus process. It links technical expertise with management
and administrative commitment. This is the core of our Program and has the enthusiastic
support and involvement of all sectors - governmental, public and private.
o The Gulf of Mexico Program's efforts were instrumental in initiating activities for the
United Nations Caribbean Environmental Programme on Marine Pollution (CEPPOL) for
the establishment of a Protocol for Land-Based Sources of Pollution for the Wider
Caribbean. The Gulf Program serves as a focal point for the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. We
guided the development of workshops on Water Quality Criteria and Effluent Guidelines
(Puerto Rico, November 1990) and a Seminar on Bathing Beach and Shellfish Growing
Waters Criteria. We also represented EPA interests in Oil Pollution and Marine Debris in
CEPPOL Program Development.
o Recognition of the Gulf of Mexico issues and Program by the U.S. Congress (the
Sunbelt Caucus establishment of a Gulf of Mexico Task Force and the U.S. Senate
drafting of legislation) has brought national attention to Gulf activities.
o Products accomplished this year are characterizations for (1) habitat, (2) nutrient
sources, (3) freshwater inflow and (4) coastal erosion map. All have undergone extensive
peer review. Several key workshops have been conducted to provide needed information
gathering and focus - (1) contaminated sediments, (2) geographical information systems,
(3) coastal and estuarine management areas, and (4) estuarine assessments. Also,
workshops were funded for living aquatic resource issues in the Gulf of Mexico and the
brown tide problem in Laguna Madre. Our electronic bulletin board system is on line for
the Gulf Coast and the D.C. metropolitan area and is available to all Gulf Program
constituents via an 800 number.
o Year-of-the-Gulf of Mexico is a concept which originated with the Gulf of Mexico
Program and has met with acceptance by EPA, the Congress and the President of the
United States.
o Demonstration projects are underway for habitat loss (Mobile Bay, Seagrass in
Laguna Madre, Texas); nutrients (constructed wetland in Newton County, MS rice
irrigation/fertilization project in the Colorado River Basin of Texas and catfish pond water
recirculation project in Hattiesburg, MS., Rock Reed Filter System in Brookville, FL These
and other demonstrations show the Gulf of Mexico Program moving ahead with the
"Action Now Agenda," as well as a long-term, broad-based, interagency approach

GULF OF MEXICO PROGRAM
POLICY REVIEW BOARD
RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS
o The Gulf Program provided extensive coordination, leadership and logistical support
for the President's initiative entitled "Coastal America." This initiative developed by the
President's Council on Environmental Quality (CEO), is designed to ensure that
stewardship of coastal living marine resources is well coordinated with Federal, state and
local partners. The Gulf Program served as a focal point for coordinating the Gulf of
Mexico Regional Implementation Team (RIT) formed under the Coastal America Program
effort.
o The Gulf of Mexico Program is also assisting with implementation of EPA's
Environmental Monitoring and Assessment Program (EMAP) for the Louisianian Province
(Gulf of Mexico). Our participation in peer review and continual facilitation with state and
Federal agency users has provided more effective transfer of information.

UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHARTER
LAWN CARE PESTICIDE ADVISORY COMMITTEE
1. PURPOSE AND AUTHORITY. This Charter establishes the Lawn Care Pesticide
Advisory Committee (LCPAC) in accordance with the requirements of the Federal
Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. App. II § 9(c).
The purpose of LCPAC is to foster communication and exchange among the
parties represented on the Committee and between them and EPA and to provide advice
to EPA and other governmental bodies on policy and technical issues associated with
reducing risks associated with use of pesticides in lawn care. With the participation of
knowledgeable affected parties, EPA expects to develop practical, protective approaches
to addressing lawn care issues.
2. SCOPE OF ACTIVITY. The lawn care industry has grown to the point where use
of pesticides to control outdoor pests in residential areas is now a large industry
encompassing application by both professional applicators as well as by individual
consumers. Such use of pesticide chemicals in residential areas has given rise to
considerable concern about risks such pesticides pose to human health and to the
environment.
LCPAC will provide EPA with advice and foster communication and exchange
among its members regarding lawn care pesticide issues. The Advisory Committee may
be consulted on environmental, technical, scientific, policy, and economic matters.
The Advisory Committee shall, as necessary, hold meetings, analyze issues, review
and compile information, produce reports, make recommendations, and undertake other
activities necessary to meet its responsibilities. Comments, evaluations and
recommendations of the Advisory Committee and the response of the Agency shall be
made available for public review.
3. OBJECTIVES. The Advisory Committee is assigned the role of formulating
recommendations for EPA and other governmental bodies on lawn care issues.
Responsibilities consistent with this role include the following:
• Provide advice to EPA on issues concerning lawn care pesticide use;
• Discuss, analyze, and compile information regarding lawn care pesticide
issues and foster communication among relevant parties concerning these issues; and
Develop concise reports ("white papers") and/or voluntary guidelines on
80
-------
ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHARTER
critical lawn care pesticide use issues. The critical issues expected to be addressed in
the short term include: 1) the operation of registries of people who are sensitive to, or
may be affected by, lawn care pesticide use; 2) posting and notification schemes
concerning lawn care pesticide use; 3) communications, education, and training
regarding lawn care pesticide use; and 4) advertising of lawn care pesticide services and
products. Other issues being considered include: 5) research aimed at developing
improved guidance for monitoring and assessing post-application exposure; 6)
development of improved methodology for assessing the benefits of lawn care pesticides;
and 7) developing improved labeling for consumer use lawn care pesticides.
4. COMPOSITION AND MEETINGS. LCPAC shall be composed of approximately 25
members selected by the Deputy Assistant Administrator of the Office of Prevention,
Pesticides, and Toxic Substances. Members shall be selected based on their relevant
expertise and diversity of perspectives on lawn care pesticide issues and will be appointed
for a one-year term. Most members will be appointed as representatives of non-Federal
interests. EPA may pay travel and per diem expenses when necessary and appropriate.
Advisory Committee members shall be appointed in a balanced representation from
the following sectors: industry and business; Federal and State government; and
consumer and environmental groups. 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. Establishment of subcommittees is
authorized for any purpose consistent with this charter. Such subcommittees shall report
back to the full committee.
Meetings shall be held as necessary, at the call of the Deputy Assistant
Administrator. Meetings will be open to the public and will be announced in the Federal
Register.
5. OPERATING BUDGET. The committees' annual operating budget is estimated to
be approximately $100,000, and would require about 0.2 FTEs of staff support. The
Office of Prevention, Pesticides and Toxic Substances will provide administrative and
process support to the committee.
6. DURATION. The Committee will terminate by May 31, 1993. If the Deputy
Administrator determines that the Committee will finish its work by June 30, 1993, the
termination date can be extended without consultation with GSA. In the event that more

ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHARTER
RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS
LCPAC is an outgrowth of an effort by the Office of Prevention, Pesticides and
Toxic Substances (OPPTS) to obtain insight into the views and experiences of a wide
range of organizations on lawn and garden care pesticide issues. A meeting held
February 19-20,1992, at Solomon's Island, MD. This meeting, announced in the Federal
Register, included a balanced group of participants from the lawn service industry,
chemical manufacturers and formulators, environmental and consumer advocates,
congressional staff, and public sector representatives including State health, legal and
pesticide regulatory officials, and Federal Government officials. LCPAC membership is
very closely modeled on the focus group's participants list.
Based in part on information obtained at the Focus Group, a list of critical lawn
care pesticide issues was identified by the agency. A FACA charter was sought so that
the EPA could obtain consensus recommendations on these issues, including:
1) registries of people who are sensitive to, or may be affected by, lawn care
pesticide use;
2) posting and notification schemes concerning lawn care pesticide use;
3) communications, education, and training regarding lawn care pesticide use;
4) advertising of lawn care pesticide services and products;
5) research aimed at developing improved guidance for monitoring and assessing
post-application exposure;
6) development of improved methodology for assessing the benefits of lawn care
pesticides; and
7) developing improved labeling for consumer use lawn care pesticides.
The first LCPAC meeting, scheduled for May 12-13, 1992, at Annapolis, MD, will
explore the first four issues in detail. A summer meeting is anticipated to discuss the
issue concerning exposure research.

MANAGEMENT ADVISORY GROUP TO THE
ASSISTANT ADMINISTRATOR FOR WATER
RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS
In the past year, Management Advisory Group (MAG) met four times to develop
recommendations for the Assistant Administrator for Water. The MAG has established
four workgroups addressing combined sewer overflows, nonpoint pollution and
stormwater run-off, ecosystem protection, and environmental education. The results of
three efforts are highlighted below.
o Combined Sewer Overflows The MAG has concentrated early efforts on the
development of recommendations to control pollution from combined sewer
overflows. Their recommended approach specifies minimum technologies
to reduce both human health a'nd environmental risks and comply with
water quality standards. MAG workgroup members participated in a
national meeting in Washington, D.C. sponsored by the Office of
Wastewater Compliance to hear directly from representatives from 11 States
that have combined sewer overflows (CSO). Working sessions on CSOs
will be included in both the June and September meetings in 1992.
o Nonpoint Source Pollution MAG members conducted a detailed review and
evaluation of the Nonpoint Source Management Measures Guidance
proposed jointly by EPA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA), Office of Coastal Zone Management. The group is
now reviewing and evaluating EPA guidance Nonpoint Sources. Agenda for
the Future (January 1989) to make recommendations on strategic directions
for the program.
o 90-Day Moratorium The March meeting of the MAG provided opportunity
for public comment on three topics under the moratorium: Drinking Water
Primacy, Stormwater Control, and point/nonpoint discharge trading.
Summary recommendations or observations included:
- Current regulations should be revised to provide states with more flexibility
to develop their own programs; states should not be required to administer
"boiler-plate national programs" when programs tailored to local needs are
more effective.
- In economic hard times, many states are not being allowed to fill
vacancies even when positions and funds are available. As a result, most
states are having difficulty implementing new programs regardless of the
availability of federal funds.

ASSISTANT ADMINISTRATOR FOR WATER
RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS
- The concept of point/nonpoint source trading -- wasteload allocations and
total maximum daily loads is supported. However, implementation must
ensure that: 1) acute local impacts from toxics do not occur, 2) sound
monitoring is conducted, 3) a reduction in total loadings is achieved, 4)
violations of technology based standards are not allowed, and 5) anti-
backsliding does not occur.

UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHARTER
NATIONAL ADVISORY COUNCIL FOR ENVIRONMENTAL
POLICY AND TECHNOLOGY
1. PURPOSE AND AUTHORITY. This Charter is to renew 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. II § 9 (c). The
purpose of NACEPT is to provide advice and counsel to the Administrator of EPA on
issues associated with the management of environmental problems. NACEPT provides
independent advice and counsel to the Administrator on such specific acitivities, issues
and needs as: indentifying the barriers impeding technology innovation and transfer and
developing approaches for reducing these barriers, creating a positive institutional climate
within EPA with respect to pollution prevention and trade and the environment, promoting
cooperative, mutually-supportive EPA-State relationships aimed at establishing more
effective environmental management at Federal, State and local levels; increasing and
institutionalizing communication among all levels of government, the business community,
the academic, educational and training community and the international community, with
the aim of increasing non-Federal resources and improving the effectiveness of Federal
and non-Federal resources directed at solving environmental problems, and establishing
direct links between these resources and those who need assistance to solve
environmental problems; implementing related legislation, executive orders and
regulations previously enacted or which may be enacted in the future; reviewing any
periodic EPA reports describing the Agency's progress in implementing statutes,
executive orders and regulations; and assessing alternative approaches for measuring the
environmental benefits of technology transfer and related activities.
2. SCOPE OF THE ACTIVITY. The Advisory Council advises, consults with and
makes recommendations on a continuing basis to the Administrator on issues associated
with management of environmental problems generally and on matters relating to
activities, functions and policies under the federal environmental statutes, executive orders
and regulations and policies affecting environmental management activities with EPA. The
Advisory Council will analyze problems, present findings, make recommendations,
conduct meetings and perform other activities 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. Pollution prevention and trade and the environment are two
examples of issues currently under review. The Council will also provide external input
to Assistant Administrators on selected topics where appropriate. NACEPT, working with
other EPA organizations, advises the Administrator on broad, cross-cutting environmental
policy and technology issues for NACEPT consideration, identifying annual priorities.
94
-------
ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHARTER
3. COMPOSITION. The Advisory Council consists of a group of independent experts
drawn from industry and business; academic, educational and training institutions;
Federal, State and local government agencies; international organizations; environmental
groups and non-profit entities. The group shall be of sufficient size and diversity to provide
the range of perspective required to evaluate environmental management activities.
Approximately 50 experts shall constitute the Advisory Council at any one time. Most
members will be appointed as representatives of non-federal interests. The Advisory
Council may constitute itself into such specialized committees on an ad hoc or standing
basis as it finds necessary to carry out its responsibilities. Such subgroups will report
back to the Council.
4. MEMBERSHIP AND MEETINGS. The Deputy Administrator of the EPA appoints
individual to serve on the Advisory Council for staggered terms of 3 years or until the
Advisory Council expires. Initial appointments are for 1, 2 or 3 years to establish the
staggered terms. Members initially appointed for one-year terms may be reappointed to
a consecutive, three-year term. The Deputy Administrator will appoint one member of the
Advisory Council as Chair, and one member as a Vice-Chair.
The Advisory Council meets at least once each year and subgroups meet as
necessary. A full-time salaried officer or employee of the Agency will act as the
Designated Federal Officer who will be present at all meetings. Each meeting will be
conducted in accordance with an agenda approved in advance by the Designated Federal
Officer. Budgetary support for the Advisory Council is provided through the Office of
Cooperative Environmental Management. This Office serves as the executive secretariat
to the Advisory Council and performs staff support and related assignments to the
Advisory Council. The estimated annual operating cost totals approximately $280,000,
which includes 2.5 workyears of staff support.
5. DURATION. The Advisory Council shall be needed on a continuing basis and may
be renewed beyond its initial two-year period, 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 (NACEPT)
was initially chartered as the National Advisory Council for Environmental Technology
Transfer (NACETT) on July 7, 1988. In July 1990, it was renamed to reflect more
accurately the scope of its mission and activities and increased in size. Reflecting the
complexity and diversity of environmental management policy and technology issues and
the desire to develop cooperative, consensus-based approaches to their solution, the
Council balanced representation from business and industry; educational institutions;
professional, trade, environmental and labor organizations; and II levels of government.
All members are volunteers, receiving reimbursement only for travel-related expenses.
The Council also draws on a large reservoir of other volunteer contributors and experts
from the above sectors.
The Council currently operates primarily through five standing Committees:
Pollution Prevention Education, State and Local Environmental Programs, Technology
Innovation and Economics, and Environmental Measurements and Chemical Accident
Prevention. The Council also has an Executive Committee, consisting of the Chair, Vice
Chair, and the Chair and Vice Chair of each standing Committee, to coordinate annual
priorities and cross-committee management issues.
On November 29, 1990, the Administrator and Deputy Administrator met with the
NACEPT Executive Committee and asked the Council to shift its primary focus to address
broad, cross-cutting major issues related to Trade and the Environment and Pollution
Prevention. The Executive Committee has identified key issues and major themes in each
area and has proposed to address selected priority questions. Prior to initiating large
scale planning for this reorientation of effort, existing, the Standing Committees had
accomplished the following:
The Trade and Environment Committee in response to EPA Administrator William
Reilly's November 1990 request that NACEPT address the intersection of Trade and
Environment, the International Environment Committee was reconstituted as the Trade
and Environment Committee. The Committee has formed three working groups-the
GATT Working Group; the Western Hemisphere Working Group; and the Industrialized
Countries/OECD Working Group-made up of several senior trade policymakers, past and
present, as well as leaders in the business, academic and environmental communities.
While each working group has addressed trade and environment issues specific to their
geo-institutional focus (e.g., the Western Hemisphere Working Group has sought to lend
advice on the NAFTA negotiation process), each has also sought to put the issue into a
broad, overarching framework. All 'three working groups stressed the extensive
complementarity between the objectives of trade and environmental policy in their first set
of recommendations to the Administrator. Other issues that the groups addressed in their
100
-------
NATIONAL ADVISORY COUNCIL FOR
ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY AND TECHNOLOGY
recommendations to the Administrator and that they will continue to pursue include:
international environmental agreements and the use of trade measures; frictions between
international trade agreements, multilateral and bilateral, and environmental agreements
and measures, international and national; dispute resolution; transparency and public
participation in trade policy; sustainable development; internalization of natural resource
and pollution costs; harmonization of standards; competitiveness; and investment.
The Pollution Prevention Education Committee holds the promotion of an
environmentally conscious and responsible public as a fundamental goal. It looks beyond
traditional environmental management methods of command and control towards
educating the public in environmentally responsible actions. The working groups of the
Committee address this goal through a variety of paradigms: pollution prevention
decision-making is made on the job in business and industry, the diffusion of
environmental education must be throughout Academia, and an environmental ethic
needs to be societally incorporated. The Committee's Academic working group has
developed several draft recommendations for the EPA Administrator involving a strategy
to incorporate pollution prevention education into the agenda and curricula of higher
education. The Industry Focus group has generated a list of draft recommendations
suggesting policies designed to incorporate pollution prevention into business
management and practices. The Committee collaborates with environmental responsibility
and education initiatives and participated in laying the groundwork for a conference on
mobilizing health care professionals to become community advocates for environmental
health issues. The Committee has also developed pollution prevention materials,
including an overview of pollution prevention principles and issues.
The State and Local Environment Committee seeks to improve the capacity of
State and local governments in carrying out their environmental management
responsibilities. The Committee's objectives are to promote allocation of environmental
management responsibilities among Federal, State, and local governments that takes best
advantage of the unique capabilities of each; assure consideration of State and local
implementation issues in the design of national environmental programs; identify trends
and obstacles to progress in State and local environmental management programs and
their implications for national environmental policy; create a positive institutional climate
for innovative approaches to environmental management; foster diffusion of successful
solutions to a range of environmental management issues; provide a forum where
unaddressed needs and concerns of State and local governments can be aired and
considered; and provide a formal mechanism through which State and local governments
can bring issues and recommendations to the Administrator. Committee
recommendations have urged clarification of roles and responsibilities, accelerated use
of risk-based priority setting, improved delivery of information to State and local
governments. The Committee has also urged EPA to expand State participation in the
101
-------
NATIONAL ADVISORY COUNCIL FOR
ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY AND TECHNOLOGY
Agency's risk-based strategic planning process and provide the flexibility needed in
management and budget systems to implement strategies based on assessment of
environmental problems and suggested ways that EPA could assist local governments
named as potentially responsible parties at Superfund sites and recommended that EPA
expand opportunities for interested and qualified local governments to take an active part
in response actions. In response the Administrator's request for advice on how to further
implementation of pollution prevention, the Committee is now developing
recommendations for building State and local pollution prevention programs. Based on
its examination of the status and trends of existing efforts and the results of a national
workshop held in January, 1992, the Committee's recommendations will address such
matters as roles of the various governmental levels and agencies, making the transition
within existing regulatory and organizational structures, funding, linking economic and
environmental interests, assessing progress, and transferring successful approaches.
The Technology Innovation and Economics Committee recognizes that the nation's
potential to improve the environment is directly related to our ability to produce and apply
environmentally beneficial technologies. Establishing a partnership between the
government and private sector on behalf of improved technology is thus seen as crucial.
The TIE Committee's purpose is to help EPA understand the relationships needed
to build and maintain this partnership, and to suggest how to expand the effectiveness
of the environmental management system in encouraging environmentally beneficial
innovation.
The TIE Committee has found that the regulation-based environmental
management system, with its current uncertainties and unpredictability, poses major
barriers to technology innovation and the widespread use of innovative solutions,
including pollution prevention. It is seeking to suggest how to create the incentives
necessary to encourage risk taking and experimentation and to provide a constant
incentive to innovate and to apply innovative solutions to environmental problems. To
accomplish this, the TIE Committee is (1) investigating how to apply economic incentives
and other alternatives to conventional regulation and when these options are most
appropriate, (2) examining the relationship between permitting and compliance policies
and technology innovation and use, including that for pollution prevention approaches,
(3) considering why much of the best environmentally-helpful technology is not being
transferred, (4) exploring how to encourage pollution prevention through the effluent
guidelines program, and (5) determining how to foster wider use of advanced remediation
technologies.
The Committee will produce two important reports and recommendations in 1992.
In its first set of recommendations, the Committee advised EPA to become a leader in
fostering technology innovation and to evaluate its programs to determine their
102
-------
NATIONAL ADVISORY COUNCIL FOR ENVIRONMENTAL
POLICY AND TECHNOLOGY (NACEPT)
effectiveness in stimulating technology innovation; it proposed several specific steps the
Agency should take, including developing (a) a policy favoring environmentally beneficial
technology innovation and (b) a strategy for accomplishing this policy objective. The
Committee's second set of recommendations is the first document to propose how to
encourage technology innovation and the use of innovative technologies through
environmental permitting and compliance policy. In 1992, the Committee will submit
recommendations addressing the improvement of the nation's capacity for widespread
diffusion of environmentally beneficial technologies, and addressing how to encourage
pollution prevention through permitting and compliance policy. These recommendations
for enhancing technology innovation are receiving considerable EPA attention and are
raising awareness of the need to foster technology innovation.
The Environmental Measurements and Chemical Accident Prevention Committee
added two important subcommittees during the past year, and currently is focused on
issues related to Environmental Statistics, Pollution Prevention Measurements, and
Chemical Accident Prevention. The Committee was established within NACEPT to
examine policy alternatives and primarily, but not exclusively, to make recommendations
related to measuring and tracking environmental progress, and to recommend ways to
measure program success. During the past year the Committee examined issues related
to a portion of the Report to Congress that is required by the Pollution Prevention Act,
and issues related to requirements of SARA section (104) in examining Capacity
Assurance Plans submitted by the States. In addition, the Committee has been
concerned with the establishment of the proposed Center for Environmental Statistics,
with an identification of the information needs of decision makers, with monitoring systems
and data collection and management technology, and with ways for disseminating
environmental information. Finally, a report has been prepared that recommends ways
the Agency can measure progress in its Chemical Accident Prevention Program.

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 techniques guidelines
for selected industries.
At its November 19-21, 1991 meeting, the Committee was given status reports on
the NESHAP projects for general provisions, hazardous organic NESHAP (HON), coke
ovens, dry cleaning, and chromium electroplating. Status reports were also provided on
the development of: guidance for new, modified, and reconstructed sources under
Section 112(g); a prioritized agenda for source category emission standards
promulgation; the proposed NESHAP for industrial process cooling towers; and the
proposed standards and emission guidelines for medical waste incinerators under Title
III of the Clean Air Act Amendments.
An overview of the control techniques guidelines (CTG) program under Title I of the
Clean Air Act Amendments was also provided. Presentations and discussion of the
following CTG documents also transpired: plastic parts coating, offset lithography, wood
furniture coating, autobody refinishing, batch processes, and volatile organic liquid
storage.
The NAPCTAC consists of 11 members with diverse backgrounds. It services both
EPA and the public by providing a forum for the expression of different viewpoints and
the exchange of ideas through in-depth discussion 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
interests, other governmental organizations, trade associations, and control equipment
manufacturers.

NATIONAL DRINKING WATER ADVISORY COUNCIL
RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The National Drinking Water Advisory Council held two meetings during Fiscal Year
1991. The Council reviewed, in various stages, the following regulatory packages: (1)
Final Phase V National Primary Drinking Water Regulations for 24 Organic and Inorganic
Chemicals; (2) Proposed Primary Drinking Water Regulations for Radionuclides; (3) the
Disinfection/Disinfection By-Products Rule; and (4) the Final Lead and Copper Rule.
The Council recommended changes to the Unreasonable Risk to Health (URTH)
standard be considered by the Agency. It was felt that a limit should be enforced when
a system applies for a variance or exemption that specifies how much time a constituent
can be present before becoming "unreasonable" and that the term "Unreasonable Risk
to Health (URTH)" connotes "no risk to health." The Agency agreed to ask the States to
reevaluate the potential health risks if a variance or exemption goes beyond a seven year
period. The Agency also agreed to change the risk levels to "Short-Term Risk Levels,"
and at the suggestion of the Council, introduced time as a factor.
After extensive discussion and specific recommendations from the Council
concerning a major Safe Drinking Water Act Reauthorization issue, the development of
standards and the priority contaminants list for regulation under the Act, the Agency is
currently developing a full discussion on the basis for standard setting, one which will
include consideration of when a constituent should be included in the regulatory program,
as well as the research needed to support such regulation.
The Council also discussed the Proposed Regulation of Class V Wells under the
Safe Drinking Water Act to further protect ground-water resources. This particular class
of wells has not been regulated, but at the urging of the Council, proposed rules are
being considered by another Advisory Committee specifically formed to handle this issue.
The Council continues to make recommendations and provide guidance to the Wellhead
Protection Program and the Agency's Ground Water Protection Strategy.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHARTER
NATIONAL EMISSION STANDARDS FOR COKE OVEN BATTERIES
ADVISORY COMMITTEE
1. PURPOSE. This charter extends for six months the National Emission Standards for
Coke Oven Batteries Advisory Committee for developing recommendations with respect
to regulations concerning emissions standards and work practices for coke ovens in
accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5 U.S.C. App. II § 14 and
9(o).
2. AUTHORITY. It is determined that extending this Committee is in the public interest
and supports EPA in performing its duties and responsibilities under Section 112(d)(8)
and (i)(8) of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990.
3. OBJECTIVE AND SCOPE OF ACTIVITY. The Committee will serve as an integral part
of EPA's development of regulations concerning emissions standards and work practices
for coke ovens pursuant to the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. The Committee will
attempt, via face-to-face meetings, to reach consensus on new regulations for coke ovens
under Section 112 of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990.
4. FUNCTIONS. The Committee's function is to assist the Agency directly in the
development of the national emission standards for coke oven batteries under the Clean
Air Act, as amended. With the participation of knowledgeable, affected parties, EPA
expects to develop a new, practical, yet protective approach to regulating coke ovens at
less cost than if the Agency did not use the advisory committee. In addition, the
Committee's success or lack thereof will help EPA assess the procedures and
circumstances which best foster successful Advisory Committees such as this.
5. COMPOSITION. The Committee will consist of approximately 20 members, plus a
facilitator who serves as Chair. Members represent the following segments of the
population in appropriate mix and balance:
• Integrated steel industry,
• Independent coke producers,
• Labor unions,
• State and local regulatory agencies,
• National and local environmental organizations,
114
-------
ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHARTER
• U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and
• Other appropriate interested and affected parties.
Appropriate members shall be selected and appointed for the duration of the
Committee. A full-time salaried official or regular 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 is authorized to form workgroups for any purpose consistent
with this Charter. Such workgroups shall report to the full Committee and have no
authority to make decisions on behalf of the full Committee nor to report directly to the
Agency.
Most members will serve as representatives of non-Federal interests. EPA may pay
travel and per diem expenses when necessary and appropriate. The Committee's
estimated annual operating cost is approximately $10,000, which includes 0.25 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 DFO. 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
during meetings to the extent that time permits.
7. DURATION. The Committee will terminate by December 1, 1992, 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.

UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHARTER
NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION ADVISORY COUNCIL
1. AUTHORITY AND PURPOSE. Section 9(a) of the National Environmental
Education Act (PL-101-619) 20 U.S.C. § 5501 et seq. establishes a National
Environmental Education Advisory Council. The purpose of the Council is to advise,
consult with, and make recommendations to the Administrator of the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) on matters relating to activities, functions, and policies of EPA
under the Act.
2. SCOPE OF ACTIVITY. The Council will provide advice to the Administrator of EPA
through the Office of Environmental Education. Such advice will focus on EPA's overall
implementation of the Act, including EPA's development and implementation of the
national environmental education and training center and education grant programs, the
internship and fellowship programs, as well as the clearinghouse. With respect to the
grant programs, the Council will provide general advice on the process EPA develops to
administer the grant programs but will not review nor make recommendations on
individual grant proposals. Pursuant to section 9(d)(1) of the Act, the Council is
responsible for producing a bi-annual report to Congress which assesses the state of
environmental education nationally and offers recommendations for improving
environmental education. The Council may provide advice on other EPA environmental
education activities as directed by the Office of Environmental Education.
3. COMPOSITION. Pursuant to section 9(b)(2) of the Act, the Council consists of 11
members appointed by the Administrator of EPA after consultation with the Secretary of
the Department of Education. The 11 members represent: primary and secondary
education; colleges and universities; not-for-profit organizations involved in environmental
education; State departments of education and natural resources; business and industry;
and senior Americans. Two members represent each category, except for senior
Americans which has only one representative. As stipulated by the Act, the conflict of
interest provision at section 208(a) of title 18, U.S.C., shall not apply to members'
participation in matters which affect the financial interests of employers which they
represent pursuant to this subsection. A representative of the Secretary of the
Department of Education serves as an ex-officio member. The Council must include
representatives from the various geographic regions of the country and must include
minority ethnic representation. The professional backgrounds of the members must
include scientific, policy, and other appropriate disciplines.
The Council may form specialized committees on an ad hoc or standing basis to
facilitate the conduct of Council business. The Administrator of EPA, through the Office
120
-------
ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHARTER
of Environmental Education, may appoint additional expert advisors to serve on such
committees if deemed necessary by the Office of Environmental Education.
The Office of Environmental Education appoints a chairperson among the 11
member Council to serve a one year term. The role of the chairperson is to assist the
Office of Environmental Education in formulating meeting agendas and in conducting
meetings.
Pursuant to section 9(b)(4) of the Act, each member of the Council holds office for
a term of three years, except that the terms of members first taking office expire one, two,
or three years after the date of enactment of the Act (November 16, 1990) as designated
at the time of appointment. Any member appointed to fill a vacancy occurring prior to the
expiration of the term for which the predecessor was appointed shall be appointed for the
remainder of the term.
4. MEETINGS. The Council meets at least twice each year and more often if
necessary as determined by the Office of Environmental Education. A representative of
the Office of Environmental Education serves as the Designated Federal Officer who will
be present at all meetings. Each meeting will be conducted in accordance with an
agenda to be approved in advance by the Designated Federal Officer. Budgetary support
for the Council is provided through the Office of Environmental Education. The estimated
annual operating cost of the Council is approximately $60,000, which includes .5 work-
year of staff support.
Pursuant to section 9(b)(5) of the Act, members receive compensation and
allowances while attending meetings of the Council or otherwise engaged in business of
the Council. Such compensation will include a fee as well as travel and per diem
expenses. The fee is determined by the Administrator, but may not exceed the daily
equivalent of the annual rate for a GS-18 federal employee. If expert advisors are
selected to serve on specialized committees of the Council, such experts serve on a
voluntary and non-compensatory basis.
5. DURATION. As provided by section 9(b)(6) of the National Environmental
Education Act, Section 14(a) of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (relating to
termination) shall not apply to the Council. However, the charter is subject to the renewal
process upon the expiration of each successive two-year period following the date of
enactment of the Act establishing the Council.

POLICY DIALOGUE COMMITTEE FOR ERA'S MINING PROGRAM
RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS
During the course of the past year, the EPA Mine Waste Policy Dialogue
Committee (PDC) met six times at various sites around the United States (Washington,
D.C., Denver, CO, San Francisco, CA, Charleston, SC, Tucson, AZ, and Orlando, FL).
Many of the different meeting locations were determined by proximity to mining facilities
which the group toured to further their understanding of mine waste issues.
Over the past year, the PDC explored many of the issues associated with the
establishment of a federal mine waste program (technical standards, enforcement, public
participation, etc.). An initial draft of a white paper was prepared. Further effort on the
paper has been delayed due to creation of a parallel process to address mine waste
issues by the Swift Subcommittee.
Despite the uncertainty over legislative action and its impact on the work of the
PDC, at the last meeting, the PDC membership recommended that EPA renew the charter
for the PDC. This has been completed. At the advice of the PDC members, meetings
of the PDC are currently on hold until the direction of congressional activity on RCRA and
specifically mine waste is determined.

UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHARTER
SCIENCE ADVISORY BOARD
1. PURPOSE AND AUTHORITY. This Charter is reissued to renew the Science
Advisory Board in accordance with the requirements of the Federal Advisory Committee
Act, 5 U.S.C. App. II § 9(c). The former Science Advisory Board, administratively
established by the Administrator of EPA on January 11, 1974, was terminated in 1978
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; November3,1983; October 25,1985; Novembers, 1987; and
November 8, 1989.
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
authority of the Administrator;
• Reviewing and advising on the scientific and technical adequacy of Agency
programs, guidelines, methodologies, protocols, and tests;
132
-------
ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHARTER
Recommending, as appropriate, new or revised scientific criteria or
standards for protection of human health and the environment;
Through the Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee, providing the technical
review and advice required under the Clean Air Act, as amended in 1990;
Reviewing and advising on new information needs and the quality of Agency
plans and programs for research, development and demonstration;
Advising on the relative importance of various natural and anthropogenic
pollution sources;
As appropriate, consulting and coordinating with the Scientific Advisory
Panel established by the Administrator pursuant to section 21 (b) of the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act, as amended; and
Consulting and coordinating with other Agency advisory groups, as
requested by the Administrator.
4. COMPOSITION. The Board will consist of a body of independent scientists and
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
of the Board, and its members will also be members of the Science Advisory Board.
5. MEMBERSHIP AND MEETINGS. The Administrator appoints individuals to serve
on the Science Advisory Board for two year terms and appoints from the membership a
Chair of the Board. The Chair of the Board serves as Chair of the Executive Committee.
Chairs of standing committees or ad hoc specialized subcommittees serve as members
of the Executive Committee during the life of the specialized subcommittee. Each
member of the Board shall be qualified by education, training, and experience to
133
-------
ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHARTER
evaluate scientific and technical information on matters referred to the Board. No member
of the Board shall be a full-time employee of the Federal Government. Most members will
serve as special Government employees.
There will be approximately 50-60 meetings of the specialized committees per year.
A full-time salaried officer or employee of the Agency 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.
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 14.6 workyears.
6. DURATION. The Board shall be needed on a continuing basis. This charter will
be effective until November 8,1993, at which time the Board charter may be renewed for
another two-year period.
7. SUPERSESSION. The former charter for the Science Advisory Board, signed by
the Deputy Administrator on November 8, 1989 is hereby superseded.

SCIENCE ADVISORY BOARD
RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Like last year, FY 91 was a busy and varied year for the Science Advisory Board
(SAB). The number of meetings held and the number of issues addressed during the
year continued at a high level. The Board again examined several new topics whose
ramifications for Agency planning, policy and practice are far-reaching. In the past year
over 50 meetings were conducted; 16 separate full reports and 6 letter reports. The SAB
was involved in some way with nearly every program office of the Agency. As a result,
the Board affected the Agency very broadly. The SAB both responded to requests for
reviews from the Agency and took the initiative in delving into new areas and new
approaches to providing the kind of scientific and engineering advice that makes a
difference in the Agency's operations.
The Executive Committee (EC) continued to conduct its business of overseeing
activities of the Board and reviewing Committee reports for transmittal to the
Administrator. The EC also hosted an Annual Meeting of the entire membership in
conjunction with its first meeting of the year. During this year, the EC has continued to
take a much larger role in the planning and prioritizing of the Board's activities and in the
review of its Committee-prepared reports. This has helped to provide consistency in SAB
products, and worked toward broadening the Board's activities. In addition, for the first
time, the EC conducted a consultation in conjunction with one of its meetings. The topic
was the Agency's efforts to update its I986 Cancer Risk Assessment Guidelines.
The Drinking Water Committee (DWC) held five full Committee meetings and three
conference calls during the year. They addressed issues on: arsenic research plan;
chlorinated acids; colilert; corrosion research; cyanogen chloride; and trihalomethanes
criteria document.
The Ecological Processes and Effects Committee (EPEC) held nine Committee
meetings this year. The Committee reviewed topics on: wetlands research (with the
EEC); EMAP; ecoregion concept; proposed Center for Marine and Estuarine Disease
Research; ecorisk assessment research program; predicted fate and effects of chemicals;
national estuary program monitoring guidance; and a consultation on biological criteria
for water quality.
The Environmental Engineering Committee (EEC) conducted eight meetings; and
three teleconferences during this year. The topics under discussion were: potential
hazards of municipal waste recycling; task force on computer modeling; municipal solid
waste research program; ground-water monitoring; usage of computer models in the
hazardous waste/superfund programs and proposed pilot study; and constructed
wetlands research.

SCIENCE ADVISORY BOARD
RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The Environmental Health Committee (EHC) conducted four full Committee
meetings during the year. The following issues were addressed: chemical mixtures
exposure; formaldehyde; perchloroethylene; rat kidney tumors; RfC inhalation toxicology;
occupational exposure limits for reference concentrations; drinking water criteria for nickel;
and RfD for essential metals in drinking water.
Indoor Air Quality/Total Human Exposure Committee (IAQC) held two meetings
this year, addressing environmental tobacco smoke risk assessment and policy guide and
exposure assessment guidelines.
Radiation Advisory Committee (RAC) conducted seven public Committee and
Subcommittee meetings, and three writing sessions, two of which were conducted by
conference calls. The following topics were addressed at these meetings: radionuclides
in drinking water; residual radioactivity and contaminated sites; transport models for
radionuclides in the environment; short-term and long-term tests for radon; national radon
survey; radon risks to smokers, non-smokers, and children; revised radon risk estimates;
research strategy for electric and magnetic fields; citizens guide to radon; potential
carcinogenicity of electromagnetic fields; and Idaho radionuclide study.
Research Strategies Advisory Committee (RSAC) held three Committee and
Subcommittee meetings. The issues addressed were: new approaches to research
planning; ORD budget review; and scientific and technical achievement awards.
Environmental Economics Advisory Committee (EEAC) was created during FY 91
at the request from the Administrator who was responding to a recommendation in the
Board's Reducing Risk report. The Committee's mission will include reviewing the quality
and relevance of particular economic analyses; reviewing generic regulatory economic
approaches; reviewing research programs; reviewing the economic bases of various
applied programs; advising on emergency and other short-notice problems; and advising
on broad strategic matters.
The Council on Clean Air Act Compliance Analysis (CCACA) is a statutory advisory
group that is being formed under the administrative umbrella of the SAB. Like CASAC,
it will report directly to the Administrator. A separate charter has been approved. The
CCACA and the EEAC will have complementary responsibilities and some overlap in
membership. A major activity of the CCACA will be a review of the costs and benefits of
the Clean Air Act.
SAB is embarking on a journey of self-improvement through quality enhancements
(Total Quality Management (TQM)).

SCIENCE ADVISORY BOARD
RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The SAB is entering a new era of activity and involvement in the Agency. It is clear
that the Board is now taking a more proactive stance in its advisory role. Both the current
Administrator, Bill Reilly, and the Deputy Administrator, Hank Habicht, are supporting this
effort to find new ways to bring outside expertise to bear on a wider variety of scientific
and engineering issues facing the Agency.
FY 92 will find the Board and the SAB Staff moving ahead at a more rapid pace,
taking on greater responsibilities and providing the Agency and the public with focused
and timely scientific advice to help protect human health and the environment.

U.S. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHARTER
STRATOSPHERIC OZONE PROTECTION ADVISORY COMMITTEE
1. PURPOSE AND AUTHORITY. This charter is reissued to renew the Stratospheric
Ozone Protection Advisory Committee in accordance with requirements of the Federal
Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. App. II § 9(c). The Committee was originally
established on October 2, 1989.
The purpose of the Advisory Committee is to provide advice and counsel to the
Agency on policy and technical issues related to protection of the stratospheric ozone
layer. The Advisory Committee provides independent advise and counsel to the Agency
on specific issues affecting international negotiations related to the Montreal Protocol on
Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, domestic implementation of the Clean Air Act
Amendments of 1990 and related matters. The Advisory Committee provides a
mechanism for discussions and consultation of a wide range of views and expertise
concerning efforts to address this global environmental problem.
2. SCOPE OF ACTIVITY. The Advisory Committee shall provide independent advice
to the Assistant Administrator, Office of Air and Radiation, or his designate, on potential
ramifications of issues related to the protection of the stratospheric ozone layer. The
Advisory Committee shall be consulted on policy and technical matters related to
economic, environmental and scientific issues associated with international efforts to
protect the ozone layer. It shall also be consulted concerning domestic regulatory issues
related to protection of the ozone layer.
The 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 global nature of the stratospheric
ozone problem and the specific technical, policy, trade and science issues involved
require the expertise of an independent advisory committee which represents a wide
range of views from industry, government and the environmental community. The
committee provides a forum for obtaining technical information and guidance in a timely
manner as domestic Clean Air Act implementation and international discussions
concerning actions to protect the ozone layer progress.
3. OBJECTIVES. The Advisory Committee is assigned the role of assessing and
advising EPA concerning implementation of plans to protect the stratospheric ozone as
required by the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. The committee will also advise
the Agency on other matters related to protection of the ozone layer. Responsibilities
consistent with this role include advising the Agency on the following:
148
-------
ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHARTER
• Assessment of domestic implementation of the Clean Air Act Amentments
of 1990 and its impact on industry, consumers, public health and the environment;
• Assessment of international actions in response to the Montreal Protocol
and its effect on industrialized and developing nations;
• Consideration of U.S. trade and competitiveness in the international market
in response to changing environmental and economic conditions;
• Assessment of technological developments and evaluation of commercial
alternatives to ozone-depleting substances; and
• Consideration of health and ecological factors that result from limitation of
substances that deplete the ozone layer.
4. COMPOSITION. The Advisory Committee shall be composed of approximately 27
members, including the Chairperson, and shall be selected and appointed by the Deputy
Administrator for two-year terms. Members of the committee shall be selected on the
basis of their professional qualifications and diversity of perspectives that will enable them
to provide advice and guidance to the Agency regarding implementation of the 1990
Clean Air Act Amendments, the Montreal Protocol and protection of the stratospheric
ozone layer.
Advisory committee members shall be appointed in a balanced representation from
the following sectors: industry and business; academic and educational institutions;
Federal, State and local government agencies; non-government and environmental
groups; and international organizations. Members will be appointed as representatives
of non-Federal interest.
The Advisory Committee is authorized to form subcommittees to consider specific
matters and report back to the committee.
5. MEETINGS. Meetings are held two times a year, or as necessary, as called by the
Chairperson. A full-time salaried officer or employee of the Agency will serve as the
Designated Federal Officer who will be present at all meetings. Each meeting will be
conducted in accordance with an agenda approved in advance of the meeting by the
Designated Federal Officer.
The estimated annual operating cost of the Advisory Committee is $20,000, which
includes 0.5 work years of staff support. The Office of Air and Radiation provides the
necessary support for the Committee.
149

ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHARTER
6. DURATION. The Advisory Committee shall be needed on a continuing basis and
may be renewed beyond its initial two-year period, as authorized in accordance with
Section 14 of the Federal Advisory Committee Act.

STRATOSPHERIC OZONE PROTECTION ADVISORY COMMITTEE
RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The Stratospheric Ozone Protection Advisory Committee (STOPAC), established
October 2, 1989, provides advice and counsel to the Agency on policy and technical
issues associated with activities related to the protection of the stratospheric ozone layer
(both domestic and international issues).
The full committee met once in 1991. Committee input was instrumental in the
adoption of the Administration's strategy for an accelerated phaseout of (most) ozone-
depleting chemicals.
There were also STOPAC subcommittee meetings throughout 1991. These
focused on providing input to the Agency in its efforts to implement Title VI of the Clean
Air Act. Such activity by subcommittee included:
o Subcommittee on Section 608 (Recycling and Emissions Reduction) - the
group and its various subcommittees met eight times; key issues of the
refrigerant recycling regulations were dealt with, including: equipment
certification, technician and reclaimer certification, and safe disposal.
o Subcommittee on Section 609 (Mobile Air Conditioning) - the subcommittee
met three times; the group reviewed the regulatory options developed by
the Agency and assisted in gathering information on the regulated
community. The standard for recover-only equipment was devised with
member input.
o Subcommittee on Section 512 (Significant New Alternatives Policy [SNAP]) -
the subcommittee met twice; counsel was given on the development and
evaluation of acceptable and unacceptable alternatives to ozone-harming
substances, processes and equipment.
o Subcommittee on Section 610 (Ban of Non-Essential Uses) - the
subcommittee met twice; members contributed valuable feedback
regarding the availability of substitutes, clarifying product definitions and
defining the criteria for "nonessentiality." Discussions on the methodology
for non-essential products selection were also held.
o Subcommittee on Section 611 (Labeling) - the subcommittee met 12 times;
specific product labeling requirements were clarified and the Agency came
to closure with industry and environmental groups on the best method of
rulemaking implementation.

S 101—6.1031 Amendments to advisory comaittee charters.
(a) Committees specifically directed by law or authorized by law; or established by tne
President.The agency head shall be responsible for ensuring that any minor technical
changes made to current charters are consistent with the relevant statute or Executive
Order. When the Congress by law, or the President by Executive Order, changes the

agency head, or the chairperson of an independent Presidential advisory committee, snail:
(1) Amend those sections of the current charter affected by the new law or Executive
Order; and
(2) File the amended charter as specified in $ 101-6.1013.
(b) Committees established or used by an agency. The charter of an advisory committee
established under general agency authority may be amended when an agency head determines
that the existing charter no longer accurately reflects the objectives or functions of the
committee. Changes may be minor, such as revising the name of the advisory committee, or
modifying the estimated number or frequency of meetings. Changes may also be major such
as those dealing with the objectives or composition of the committee. The agency head
retains final authority for amending the charter of an advisory committee. Amending any
existing advisory committee charter does not constitute renewal of the committee unaer
$ 101-6.1029.
(1) To make a minor amendment to a committee charter, an agency shall:
(i) Amend the charter language as necessary, and
(ii) File the amended charter as specified in S 101-6.1013.
(2) To make a major amendment to a committee charter, an agency shall:

significance, scope, and technical complexity of the matters with which the advisory
committee is concerned and the qualifications required of the members of the advisory
committee. An agency may not fix the pay of the members of an advisory committee at a
rate higher than the daily equivalent of the maximum rate for a GS-15 under the General
Schedule, unless a higher rate is mandated by statute, or the head of the agency has
personally determined that a higher rate of pay under the General Schedule is justified
and necessary. Such a determination must be reviewed by the head of the agency annually.

advisory committee staff member at a rate of the General Schedule in which the Staff
member's position would appropriately be placed (5 U.S.C. Chapter 51). An agency may not
fix the pay of a staff member at a rate higher than the daily equivalent of the maximum
rate for GS-15, unless the agency head has determined that under the General Scnedule tne
staff member's position would appropriately be placed at a grade higher than GS-15. This
determination must be reviewed annually by the agency head.
(1) In establishing rates of compensation, the agency head shall comply with any
applicable statutes, regulations. Executive Orders, and administrative guidelines.
