UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
1990 proved a banner year for EPA 's advisory committees. One highlight came last
September 26th, at the National Press Club. I was pleased to release that day a report
produced by our Science Advisory Beard, called REDUCING RISK: SETTING
PRIORITIES AND STRATEGIES FOR ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION.
In this report, the Science Advisory Board offers a new assessment of environmental
problems, based on the comparative risks posed by these problems. The Board farther calls
for innovative, integrated policies to effectively and efficiently reduce the most serious risks.
With its emphasis on preventing pollution before it becomes a problem, on market incentives,
on educating, on cooperation among EPA, other agencies, and other sectors of society,
REDUCING RISK is already guiding much of what we do here at EPA.
We are looking to all of our advisory committees for similar guidance in 1991. The
year ahead promises a busy agenda, with implementation of the new Clean Air Act, debate
on reauthorization of the Clean Water Act and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act,
new lead and toxics reductions initiatives, maintaining momentum on enforcement and
Superfiind cleanups, as well as revitalized efforts to protect the Great Lakes, the Chesapeake,
the Gulf of Mexico, and other natural systems.
In these and other areas, we look to our advisor; committees for their sound advice.
They provide fresh, independent perspectives on how we do our business at EPA — an
invaluable public service for which this Agency is enonnously grateful.
So it is with enthusiasm that we welcome five new advisory committee this year.
They are:
o The Acid Rain Advisory Committee;
o The Clean Air Act Advisory Committee;
o The Environmental Financial Advisory Board;
o The Lead Acid Batterv Reeve!ing Negotiated Rulemaking Advisory
Committee;
o Hie Reformulated Gasoline Rule and Oxygenated Gasoline --
Marketable Oxv.gen Credit Program Guidelines and Labeling Regulations
Negotiated Rulemaking Advisory- Committee.
Many thanks to the people involved with the five new committees, and to all those who
make EPA's thirteen other advisory committees so effective. We look fonvard to working
with all of you in the months ahead.

ACID RAIN ADVISORY
COMMITTEE
RECENT
ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The Acid Rain Advisory Committee (ARAC) was
established on November 19, 1990. The Committee provides
the Agency with advice and counsel on issues associated
with the development and implementation of the acid rain
program required by the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990.
To facilitate discussion, the 44 member Committee
was divided into four subcommittee's: Allowance Trading
and Tracking, Emissions Monitoring, Permits and
Technology, and Energy Conservation and Renewables. The
subcommittees will frame various issues for deliberation
by the full Committee.
At the initial ARAC meeting on December 13-14, 1990,
the Committee set out its agenda for the upcoming year.
Each Subcommittee met to identify and prioritize issues
for future investigation and discussion at subsequent
meetings during 1991. It is expected that the Committee
will meet at least four times before the Agency issues
it's first proposed acid rain regulations by Summer,
1991.

BIOTECHNOLOGY SCIENCE
ADVISORY COMMITTEE
RECENT
ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The Biotechnology Science Advisory Committee (BSAC) held a
full committee meeting on December 21, 1989. The meeting was
devoted primarily to a discussion of the Scope Definition
developed by the Office of Science and Technology Policy.
Presentations were made by the USDA and EPA and numerous public
comments were heard. Major concerns were expressed on the scope,
scale, and the process versus product approach and risk issues.
Reports were also presented on the ORD research program, BSAC
procedures, the Alaska oil spill/bioremediation project, and
Agency product reviews under TSCA and FIFRA. Members also
discussed the report from the following subcommittees:
- The second Subcommittee on Health Effects met on December 20,
1989, to discuss the potential needs of the health effects
research program. It was recommended that EPA focus on toxicity,
infectivity and pathogenicity, and immunotoxicity research.
EPA should also monitor effects on humans parallel to animal
tests and develop initiatives in these areas.
- A Subcommittee on Ecoregions was convened on July 25, 1990,to
discuss the use of an ecoregion geographic framework to predict
the fate of microorganisms in the environment. Topics discussed
included the degree of influence that large-scale regional
ecological indicators have on the fate of microorganisms in the
environment and whether regional ecological indicators can be
used to predict the behavior in the environment of specific
microorganisms. The Subcommittee suggested that EPA explore the
use of ecoregions for risk assessment v/ith microorganisms by
convening a workshop on this topic.
- A Subcommittee met on August 3, 1990,to discuss the
Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development draft
document "Good Developmental Practices for Small Scale Research
with Genetically Modified Plant and Micro-Organisms" (March
1990). In addition to specific editorial changes to language,
the Subcommittee developed general comments that were used by the
US delegation to the OECD.
- A Subcommittee meeting held on September 7, 1990 discussed EPA
implementation, under TSCA and FIFRA, of the "Principles for
Federal Oversight of Biotechnology" published in the Federal
Register by the Office of Science and Technology Policy. An in-
depth discussion was held on appropriate scope definitions for
microorganisms under TSCA and FIFRA.. _The Subcommittee
recommended that the scope definition under FIFRA be built around
the requirements of the statute for microbial pesticides and made
suggestions on how to accomplish this goal. The Subcommittee
recommended that under TSCA, separate scope definitions would be
appropriate for small and large scale uses of microorganisms.

CHESAPEAKE EXECUTIVE COUNCIL
RECENT
ACCOMPLISHMENTS
During 1990, the Chesapeake Executive Council aggressively
implemented the 1987 Chesapeake Bay Agreement and began to see
positive environmental results. The Chairman of the Council,
William Reilly announced that while significant progress had been
made toward restoring the Bay, "1991 is a critical year — a time
to reevaluate — and perhaps, most importantly, to move
aggressively from study to action.
Under the leadership of the Executive Council the Chesapeake Bay
Program has become a model for the nation by showing environmental
success, going beyond pollution control to resource management and
multi-media concerns, through a model state-federal partnership,
through the nation's most active Nonpoint Source Control program
and by being a model of compliance.
Environmental successes of the Chesapeake Bay Program include:
Submerged grasses have made significant gains in the
Potomac and Patuxent Rivers.
Phosphorous levels are down by 20% due to the Phosphate
detergent ban, improved municipal treatment, and soil
erosion controls.
Significant non-compliance with permitted discharge levels
has dropped. The Bay Program is a model for compliance and
a long-term compliance initiative will ensure further
progress.
Federal compliance has improved and installations have had
a 90% reduction in non-compliance.
Nitrogen fertilizer use is down 30% since 1980. Factors
include over 600 nutrient management plans, 1300 animal
waste storage systems, over 11,900 BMPs, and Nitrogen
removal in 7 cities.
Increases are seen in some living resources, especially
Striped Bass and Blue Crabs.
The listing of accomplishments and successes should not imply that
all of the Bay's environmental problems have been solved; they have
not and much remains to be accomplished under the Executive
Council. Future concerns include dissolved Oxygen, Nitrogen
levels, stocks of certain finfish and shell fish. Executive
Council tasks for the coming year that address these concerns
include Pollution Prevention, management of growth and development,
increased focus on toxics, closer Nitrogen" controls, and more
consistent management of living resources.

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 of 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,
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 46 senior representatives
from state and local government, academic institutions,
environmental and public interest groups, industries and service
groups.
It is expected that the Committee will be organized
into ad hoc subcommittees to plan the CAAAC's next agendas,
recommend outside experts to speak before the Committee and help
prepare briefing materials to be used at the Committee's
meetings. It is expected that the Committee will meet quarterly.
The Designated Federal Official is the Director of the National
Evaluation Staff, Office of Program Management Operations, Office
of Air and Radiation.

• CASAC transmitted a report to the Administrator concerning its
review of the Agency's draft documents "Supplement to the 1986 Air
Quality Criteria for Lead - Volume I Addendum (Pages Al - A67)",
and "Review of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for Lead:
Assessment of Scientific and Technical Information". The Committee
concluded that both documents provide an adequate scientific and
technical basis for EPA to retain or revise primary and secondary
national ambient air quality standards for lead.
• CASAC transmitted a report to the Administrator recommending
that the Agency update the 1976 guidance document which contains
cautionary statements for public reporting of air quality Pollutant
Standards Index (PSI). These statements are issued by local air
pollution control agencies in preparing air quality summaries which
are provided to the media for dissemination to the public.
• CASAC transmitted a report to the Administrator recommending
that, in light of recent increased interest in visibility issues in
Congress, the Agency initiate planning for the development of an
interagency visibility research plan. The Committee noted that the
Federal visibility research program lacked adequate coordination,
overall direction, and focus.
• CASAC formed a committee to initiate the review of the Carbon
Monoxide National Ambient Air Quality Standards.

UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHARTER
ORGANIZATION AND FUNCTIONS-COMMITTEES. BOARDS. PANELS AND COUNCILS
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. §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
32
-------
ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHARTER
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.
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:
o Reducing the cost of financing environmental facilities and
discouraging polluting behavior;
o Creating incentives to increase private investment in the
provision of environmental services and removing or reducing
constraints on private involvement imposed by current
regulations;
o Developing new and innovative environmental financing
approaches and supporting and encouraging the use of effective
existing approaches;
o Identifying approaches specifically targeted to small
community financing;
o Assessing government strategies for implementing public-
private partnerships, including privatization and operations
and maintenance issues, and other alternative financing
mechanisms; and
o 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
33
-------
ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHARTER
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.
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 Official 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 Federa^L^dvislbry QomipittEie Vet.

ENVIRONMENTAL FINANCIAL
ADVISORY BOARD
RECENT
ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The Environmental Financial Advisory Board (EFAB) was
established for the purpose of providing authoritative analysis
and advice to the EPA Administrator regarding environmental
finance issues to assist EPA in carrying out its environmental
mandates. Initially organized as a committee of EPA's National
Advisory Council for Environmental Technology Policy, EFAB became
an independent advisory board in February 1991 according to and
consistent with the requirements of the Federal Advisory
Committee Act. EFAB will continue to function as an independent
board as specified in its charter.
EFAB, which is organized into four workgroups — Public
Sector Financing Options, Economic Incentives, Small Community
Strategies, and Private Sector Incentives — has met several
times since 1990 to formulate and develop financing options and
alternatives in the preparation of advisory statements.
o January 1990 — Workgroups established directions and
positions on critical issues within their purview.
o March 1990 — EFAB met to discuss preliminary options
developed by the workgroups and further refine issues to be
considered by the Board.
o July 1990 — The Public Sector Financing Options workgroup
met to discuss issues and alternatives.
o January 1991 — EFAB met to reach consensus on options and
alternatives contained in draft advisories and set
directions for the Board in the upcoming year.
The Board anticipates finalizing selected advisory
statements during 1991. Issues that the Board is examining
include:
o Reducing the cost of financing environmental facilities and
discouraging polluting behavior.
o Creating incentives to increase private investment in
providing environmental services and alleviating constraints
on private involvement imposed by current regulations.
o Developing new and innovative environmental financing
approaches and encouraging the use of effective existing
approaches.

ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHARTER
ORGANIZATION AND FUNCTIONS - COMMITTEES, BOARDS, PANELS AND COUNCILS
FEDERAL INSECTICIDE, FUNGICIDE, AND RODENTICIDE ACT
SCIENTIFIC ADVISORY PANEL
1. 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., Section 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 Lav;
94-140, Public Lav; 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 21(b) of FIFRA on
April 25, 1983, and then reauthorized as a statutory committee
by amendment to the FIFRA dated December 2, 1983 (Public Lav; 98-
201) . Under FIFRA (Public Lav; 98-201) , the statutory Panel
terminated on September 30, 1937. 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 Lav; 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:
a. Notice of intent to cancel a pesticide registration or
change its classification under Section 6(b)(l) of FIFRA;
b. 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;
c. Emergency orders immediately suspending registration of
a pesticide before notification of the registrants pursuant to
Section 6(c)(3) of FIFRA; and
d. Regulations to be issued under Section 25(a) of FIFRA.
The Administrator shall also solicit from the Panel comments,
evaluations, and 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.
40
-------
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 considera-
tion.
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 appro-
priate 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 or proposed or final rulemaking are
published in the Federal Register. In any particular case, the
Panel may waive comment.
The Panel shall consult and coordinate its activities with the
Science Advisory Board established under the Environmental
Research, Development, and Demonstration Authorization Act of
1978.
5. COMPOSITION. The Panel is composed of seven members,
including the Chairperson, selected and appointed by the Deputy
Administrator from twelve nominees — six nominated by the
National Institutes of Health (NIH) and six by the National
Science Foundation (NSF), utilizing a system of staggered terms
of two to four years. Members of the Panel are selected on the
basis of their professional qualifications to assess the effects
of the impact of pesticides on health and the environment. To
the extent feasible to insure multidisciplinary representation,
41
-------
ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHARTER
the Panel membership shall include representation from the
disciplines of toxicology, pathology, environmental biology, and
related sciences (e.g., pharmacology, biotechnology, bio-
chemistry, biostatistics, to name a few). If a vacancy occurs on
the Panel due to expiration of a term, resignation, or any other
reason, each replacement shall be selected by the Deputy
Administrator from a group of 4 nominees, 2 each submitted by NIH
and NSF. The Deputy Administrator may extend the term of a Panel
member until the new member is appointed to fill the vacancy.
Should the list of nominees provided be unsatisfactory, the
Deputy Administrator may request an additional set of nominees
from the nominating entities. No person shall be ineligible to
serve on the Panel by reason of his/her membership on any other
advisory committees to a Federal department or agency or his/her
employment by a Federal department or agency (except the
Environmental Protection Agency).
Panel members are subject to the provisions of 40 CFR Part 3,
Subpart F -- Standards of Conduct for Special Government
Employees, which includes rules regarding conflicts of interest.
Each nominee selected by the Deputy Administrator, before being
formally appointed, is required to submit a Confidential
Statement of Employment and Financial Interests (EPA Form 3120-
1), which shall fully disclose any outside source(s) of financial
support. The Deputy Administrator shall require all nominees to
the Panel to furnish information concerning their professional
qualifications, their educational background, employment
history, and scientific publications. The Agency shall publish
in the Federal Register the name, address, and professional
affiliations of each nominee.
The estimated annual operating cost of the Panel will be
approximately $103,000 which includes an allowance for 1.25 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).
4 2
-------
ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHARTER
The Assistant Administrator for Pesticides and Toxic Substances
or his/her designee, will serve as the Designated Federal
Official and will attend all meetings. Each meeting of the
Scientific Advisory Panel will be conducted in accordance with an

GULF OF MEXICO PROGRAM
POLICY REVIEW BOARD
RECENT
ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The Gulf of Mexico Program worked successfully for
the vote to proceed with the designation of the Gulf
of Mexico as a special area under MARPOL V. The
designation is expected for July 1992.
Hosted the 1990 Gulf of Mexico Symposium, a biennial
event to report on the economic and environmental
status of the Gulf of Mexico. Over 925 persons
attended the event.
The Gulf Program has served to coordinate and provide
technical assistance on a wide range of pollution
issues for nations in the wider Caribbean. The
Program serves as a first point of contact for
technical assistance to UNEP.
Formalized a process and structure in which action
plans can be developed to attack the key problems
affecting environmental quality in the Gulf.
The Gulf Program has implemented several
demonstration projects which focus on resolving
environmental problems in the Gulf such as nutrient
enrichment and habitat loss.
The Gulf Program, with supplemental funding from
NQftA, has established an electronic bulletin board
system that allows dissemination of information from
the Program Office to the general public and all
Program participants.
The successful citizen volunteer program, "Take Pride
Gulfwide," has continued to expand and strengthen due
to the interagency support of the Program. In
September 1990, over 37,000 citizens participated in
the five-state beach cleanup and collected over 1
million pounds of marine trash.
The Alabama Coastal Waters Initiative was patterned
and established after the Gulf of Mexico Program.
The agencies and resources brought to bear on the
problems of the Alabama Gulf will accelerate
interagency conmunication, cooperation and support
for taking action to protect Gulf waters.

Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5 U.S.C. (App.I) 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 6 of the
Toxic Substances Control (TSCA).
3. OBJECTIVE AND SCOPE OF ACTIVITY. The Committee will serve as
an integral part of EPA's development of a new approach for
recycling lead acid batteries. It will attempt, via face-to--
face negotiations, to reach consensus on concepts and language to
use as the basis of a new rule under Section 6 of the TSCA.
The negotiation will address approaches to recycle lead acid
batteries.
4. FUNCTIONS. As indicated above, the Committee's function is
to assist directly in the development of a new regulatory
approach to recycling lead acid batteries. With the
participation of knowledgeable, affected parties, EPA expects to
develop a practical, protective approach to recycling at less
cost than traditional rulemaking. In addition, the Committee's
success or lack thereof will help EPA assess the procedures and
circumstances which best foster successful negotiations.
5. COMPOSITION. The Committee will consist of not more than
twenty-five members, appointed by the EPA Deputy Administrator,
plus a facilitator who will serve as Chair. Members will
represent the following segments of the population in appropriate
mix and balance:
Categories of Members:
- Battery manufacturing industry
- Lead smelting industry
- Battery Retailers

to make decisions on behalf of the full Committee nor can they
report directly to the Agency.
EPA may pay travel and per diem expenses when necessary and
appropriate and may compensate members as provided for under the
Negotiated Rulemaking Act of 1990. The Committee's estimated
annual operating cost is approximately $75/000, which includes .4
work years of staff support. EPA's Office of Policy, Planning
and Evaluation will provide administrative and process support to
the Committee.
6. MEETINGS. Meetings shall be held as necessary, at the call
of the Chair, with an agenda for each meeting approved in advance
by the Designated Federal Official. Committee meetings will be

MANAGEMENT ADVISORY GROUP TO THE
ASSISTANT ADMINISTRATOR FOR WATER
RECENT
ACCOMPLISHMENTS
During the past year, the Office of Water Management Advisory Group
(MAG) was rechartered with an expanded mission and a new roster
of members. The MAG now directly advises the Assistant
Administrator for Water on all issues pertaining to management of
water pollution control under the Clean Water Act.
The first meeting of the reconstituted MAG was held in Washington,
D.C. on January 17 and 18, 1991. Members discussed the role and
functioning of MAG, and three major water pollution issues on which
the Assistant Administrator particularly wished to receive MAG
advice and involvement: combined sewer overflows, nonpoint source
pollution, and ecosystem protection.
After presentations on and discussions of the three issues, MAG
members outlined the steps they would take at the next meeting.
m For ecosystems protection, members will explore major relevant
issues in greater depth, including valuation and monitoring,
indicator species, impacts of human and natural activity,
targeting, education, economic incentives, and integration and
implementation of existing plans.
u For nonpoint source pollution, members will make
recommendations for public outreach/involvement, and discuss
further how to use market forces and economic incentives,
other regulatory and nonregulatory solutions, watershed
planning, and monitoring.
m For combined sewer overflows (CSOs), members will make
recommendations for EPA to use in developing action plans to
deal with the problem, focusing on the effects of CSOs,
education of the public on the issues, possible standards and
solutions, schedules and financing.
The second meeting of the MAG will be May 16 and 17, 1991, and the
third on September 12 and 13, 1991.

UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHARTER
ORGANIZATION AND FUNCTIONS-COMMITTEES. BOARDS. PANELS. AND COUNCILS
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 previously established as the
National Advisory Council for Environmental Technology Transfer (NACETT) 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.I) 9(c). The purpose of the Advisory Council is to provide advice
and counsel to the Administrator of EPA on issues associated with the management of
environmental problems. The Advisory Council provides independent advice and counsel to the
Administrator on such specific activities, issues and needs as: identifying the barriers impeding
environmental technology transfer and training efforts and possible approaches for reducing these
barriers; creating a positive institutional climate within EPA with respect to technology transfer and
training activities; 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; developing and applying
an appropriate array of existing and new delivery mechanisms for meeting technology transfer and
training needs; implementing the Federal Technology Transfer Act of 1986, Executive Order 12591,
which facilitates access to science and technology, and other 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 the
management of environmental problems generally and on matters relating to activities, functions and
policies under the Federal Technology Transfer Act of 1986 and other statutes, executive orders and
regulations affecting the conduct of technology transfer activities within EPA. The Advisory
Council will analyze problems, present findings, make recommendations, conduct meetings and
perform other activities necessary for the attainment of its objectives. Environmental technology
transfer consists of the purposeful transfer of technical and environmental management information
and knowhow from one individual or organization to one or more others where it is needed to
achieve environmental protection objectives. Such activity may take the form of training, technical
assistance or targeted information dissemination. It includes such transfers between and among
interstate, State, regional and local agencies with environmental responsibilities, EPA regional
offices, EPA headquarters and EPA laboratories. It also includes such transfers between and
among businesses; academic, educational and training institutions; Federal, State and local
governmental organizations; international organizations and governmental organizations in other
countries, especially such transfers undertaken to facilitate or accelerate the development,
commercialization or use of needed new environmental technology or skills.
62
-------
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
assess each element of the implementation of the Federal Technology Transfer Act and related
statutes, executive orders and regulations and, generally, the technology transfer issues associated
with the management of environmental problems. Approximately 50 experts shall comprise 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 individuals
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 twice each year and subgroups meet as necessary. A full-
time salaried officer or employee of the Agency will serve as the Designated Federal Official who
will be present at all meetings. Each meeting will be conducted in accordance with an agenda
approved in advance by the Designated Federal Official. 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 more accurately reflect 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 has
balanced representation from business and industry; educational institutions; professional, trade, environ-
mental and labor organizations; and all levels of government. All members are volunteers, receiving reim-
bursement 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: Environmental Education
and Training, International Environment, State and Local Programs, Technology Innovation and Economics,
and Chemical Accident Prevention. The Council also has an Executive Committee, comprised of the chairs
of the Council and standing committees, 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 majorthemes in each area and has proposed to address selected priority questions. Priorto initiating large
scale planning for this reorientation of effort, existing Standing Committees had accomplished the following:
The International Environment Committee has been exploring global environmental and economic indicators,
innovative financing mechanisms, international markets for U.S. environmental technologies and processes,
and the ramifications of legal and intellectual property issues. The Committee has also focused on
establishment of international environmental policies, principles, guidelines, and standards. It has begun to
identify opportunities and mechanisms for international technical assistance and training, (e.g., the Committee
was asked to explore an industry peer-match exchange program with Poland), and to explore international
environmental information networks. The Committee is involved with development of a Wild Ocean Reserve
Project to help establish deep ocean wilderness areas to protect the ocean environment and wildlife.
The Environmental Education and Training Committee seeks to promote an environmentally conscious and
responsible public. They are focusing on development of a balanced informational and educational program
directed toward the general public and development of an ecologically literate and competent workforce.
Emphasizing participation from teachers, administrators, text book publishers, parents, non-governmental
organizations and private firms, and individuals at the community level, the Committee encourages the
formation of education and training networks. The Committee has seen significant implementation of key rec-
ommendations in formation of EPA's Office of Environmental Education, creation of the National Environ-
mental Education and Training Foundation, and creation of nonprofit organizations addressing environmental
education and training needs of industry; and improved environmental information delivery to college students
and young adults. The Committee has also sponsored a university presidents roundtable and an urban/
minority education project; assisted expansion of the existing environmental education network; helped create
a nonprofit business/environmental management institute and a nonprofit corporation focusing on environ-
mental education for college-level students; and assisted development of pollution prevention education
curriculum.

NATIONAL ADVISORY COUNCIL FOR
ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY AND TECHNOLOGY
RECENT
ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The State and Local Programs Committee maintains responsibility for helping develop and foster improve-
ments in the capacity of State and local governments to carry out their environmental management
responsibilities. Each level has a legitimate and unique role to play, ideally in a mutually supporting system
where each level performs the functions it does best. The Committee believes EPA needs to clarify its vision
with regard to delegation and oversight of environmental programs; establish a genuine partnership with the
States to enhance each partner's ability to respond to the growing environmental challenge, and to help local
governments develop greater environmental management capacity. With respect to local issues, the Com-
mittee is focusing on the special needs of very small communities. The Committee has made a number of
recommendations to the Agency in these areas and has been working with various EPA offices on their
implementation.
The Technology Innovation and Economics Committee is working to identify and recommend steps that
energize the innovation cycle for the environment by increasing the development and commercialization of
innovative technologies and ensuring the diffusion of existing and new innovative technologies. It has been
examining the relationship between the introduction of new technologies for environmental purposes and
governmental permitting and compliance systems; the effects of liability on the innovation and diffusion of
environmentally relevant technologies; and why much of the best environmentally-helpful technology is not
being transferred. The Committee believes that the current framework of environmental authorities is not
adequately encouraging such technology innovation and has found that several major impediments obstruct
technology development and use, creating risk averseness in public and private technology sponsors. The
Committee has called for the establishment of a more mutually supportive relationship among governments
and the private sector in the pursuit of technology innovation for environmental purposes. 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 effectiveness in stimulating technology innovation; it proposed
several specific steps the Agency should take. The Committee's second set of recommendations is address-
ing expanded pollution prevention efforts in permitting process, expanded use of research, development and
demonstration permitting; and increased efforts to deliver new technologies more effectively. These
recommendations for enhancing technology innovation are receiving considerable EPA attention and raising
awareness of the need to foster technology innovation.
The Chemical Accident Prevention Committee was created in late FY1990, at the request of EPA's Chemical
Emergency Preparedness and Prevention Office. It has met once to discuss the program's overall strategy
and policy issues, mechanisms for delivery of information and assistance, and development of approaches
to measure prevention of chemical accidents.

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.
The January 29-31, 1991 meeting of the NAPCTAC was a
comprehensive one since no meetings were held in 1990 due to the
pending Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA).
At its January 1991 meeting, the Committee was given an
overview of the requirements for hazardous air pollutants under
Title III of the CAAA. In addition presentations/status reports
were provided on alternative definitions of source and the
implementation process, the development of guidance for the
petition process, the development of a list of source categories
that emit the 189 hazardous air pollutants listed in the CAAA,
and the implementation of the Title III provisions for early
reductions to defer application of maximum achievable control
technology (MACT). Status reports on the regulatory development
of five NESHAP based on MACT were also provided: dry cleaning,
ethylene oxide commercial sterilizers, chromium electroplating,
hazardous organic NESHAP on source categories in the chemical
industry, and asbestos-comprehensive revisions. The regulatory
development for municipal waste combustion and the technical
background information on marine tank vessel loading were also
discussed.
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 1990. The Council reviewed, in various stages,
the following regulatory packages: (1) Proposed Lead and Copper
Primary Drinking Water Regulations; (2) Phase II - Final Primary
Drinking Water Regulations for 33 Synthetic Organic Chemicals and
Inorganic Chemicals; (3) Proposed Phase V Primary Drinking Water
Regulations for 24 Contaminants; (4) Preliminary drafts of the
Disinfection/Disinfection By-Product Rule; and (5) Draft language
for the upcoming proposal on Radionuclides.
The Council began preliminary discussions on the
Reauthorization of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). The
Council sent a letter soliciting SDWA issues to 64 interested
groups and organizations. It was the opinion of the Council that
input from those directly impacted by the Act would provide the
best overall look at the major issues. The Assistant
Administrator for Water, the Council Chairman and
Legislative/Public Outreach Subcommittee Chairperson, held a two-
day meeting in September to stimulate open discussion of the
issues. A follow-up report was issued and sent to all
participants. At the December meeting of the Council,
recommendations were provided to the Agency. The Council has
decided to continue this discussion at the April 1991 meeting.
During 1990 the Council discussed the problems facing small
water supply systems relative to the implementation of the Safe
Drinking Water Act. At the April 1990 meeting, the Council
invited representatives from the State of Massachusetts, and
several private industry groups offering small package treatment
technologies available. An in-depth discussion provided the
Council with an insight into gaining state approval for these new
package technologies, the plans to develop a major information
clearinghouse and innovative financing options to better serve
the small communities faced with the challenge of meeting the
SDWA requirements. The Council will continue to gather
information and make recommendations to EPA on this subject.

OXYGEN CREDIT PROGRAM GUIDELINES AND LABELING REGULATIONS
NEGOTIATED RULEMAKING ADVISORY COMMITTEE
1. PURPOSE. This charter establishes the Reformulated Gasoline
and Oxygenated Fuels Advisory Committee, in accordance with the
provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5 U.S.C.
App. § 9(c) and the Negotiated Rulemaking Act of 1990 (NRA) , 5
U.S.C. § 581 et sea.
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 211 of
the Clean Air Act, as amended by the Clean Air Act Amendments of
1990 (CAA).
3. OBJECTIVE AND SCOPE OF ACTIVITY. The Committee will serve as
an integral part of EPA's development of guidelines for
marketable oxygen credit programs for oxygenated gasoline and
proposed regulations and standards for reformulated gasoline and
oxygenated gasoline. It will attempt, via face-to-face
negotiations, to reach consensus on concepts and language to use
as the basis of the guidelines and proposed rules under Title
II, section 211 of the CAA. To the extent consensus is not
reached on the proposed rules, the Committee may continue to meet
to formulate recommendations for the Agency's consideration in
making its decision on the final rules. The negotiation will
address marketable oxygen credit guidelines and labeling
regulations, approaches to emissions testing and modeling of
fuels, standards applicable to reformulated fuels, specifications
of baseline fuels, and the credits program.
4. FUNCTIONS. As indicated above, the Committee's function is
to assist directly in the development of a new regulatory
approach to establish standards for reformulated gasoline and
oxygenated gasoline. With the participation of knowledgeable,
affected parties, EPA expects to develop a practical, protective
complex of proposed rules and guidelines at less cost than the
traditional rulemaking approach. In addition, the Committee's
success or lack thereof will help EPA assess the procedures and
circumstances which best foster successful negotiations.

REFORMULATED GASOLINE RULE NEGOTIATED
RULEMAKING ADVISORY COMMITTEE
RECENT
ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The Oxygenated and Reformulated Fuels Advisory Committee
held its first meeting on March 13th. It has divided into four
smaller working groups — Fuel Certification, Supply and
Distribution, Anti-Dumping, Credits, Averaging and Enforcement.
Membership includes the American Petroleum Institute, major
oil and automobile companies.
The major committee action so far has been via these active
workgroups. They have met on March 27th and 28th, April llth and
12th, April 24th and 25th.
Though the issues are both highly technical and
controversial, the workgroups are working hard and making much
progress. Though we will only know at the end, EPA and the
participants are optimistic that the group will achieve full or
near consensus on the major issues.
The full plenary meets again on April 30th and on May 13th
and 14th with a possible back-up meeting scheduled for April 23rd
and 24th.
EPA is committed to publishing a proposed rule — based on
as much consensus as is then achieved by April 31st.
If the members consider it advisable, they will continue
their work during and after public comment and will do their best
to assist the Agency in coming out with a consensus final rule
and guidelines which appropriately incorporate public comment.

UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHARTER
ORGANIZATION AND FUNCTIONS - COMMITTEES, BOARDS, PANELS, AND COUNCILS
SCIENCE ADVISORY BOARD
1. PURPOSE AND AUTHORITY. This Charter is reissued for the Science
Advisory Beard in accordance with the reouirements of the Federal
Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. (App.I) 9(c). The forirer Science
Advisory Beard, 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; November 3,
1983; October 25, 1985; and November 6, 1987.
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 Beard.
3. OBJECTIVES AND RESPONSIBILITIES. The objective of the Board is
to provide advice to EPA's Administrator on the scientific and
technical aspects of environmental problems and issues. While the
Board reports tc 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
assianments as requested by Agency officials and as required by
the Environmental'Research, Development, and Demonstration Authori-
zation 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;
102
-------
ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHARTER
- Reviewing and advising on the scientific and technical
adequacy of Agency programs, guidelines, methodologies,
protocols, and tests;
- 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 scientific review and advice required
under the Clean Air Act, as amended;
- Reviewina and advisina 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 2Kb) of the Federal Insecticide,
Funaicide 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 enaineers 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 standing
member 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 Deputy 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 1977.
This Committee, established by a separate charter, will be an integral
part of the Board, and its members will also be members of the Science
Advisory Board.
103

ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHARTER
5. MEMBERSHIP AND MEETINGS. The Deputy Administrator appoints
individuals to serve on the Science Advisory Board for staggered
terms of one to four years 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 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.
There will be approximately 60-75 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 $1,409,000 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, 1991, 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 Administrator on November 2, 1987 is hereby
superseded.

SCIENCE ADVISORY BOARD
RECENT
ACCOMPLISHMENTS
FY90 was a busy and varied year for the Science
Advisory Board. The number of meetings held and the number of
reports issued during the year continued at a high level. The
Board examined several new topics whose ramifications for Agency
planning, policy and practice are far-reaching. The SAB Staff
maintained its commitment to quality service to the Board, while
undertaking various actions to assess and enhance its own
institutional health.
In FY90 the Committees and Subcommittees of the SAB
conducted 61 meetings and issued 26 separate reports (including
the three appendices to the Reducing Risk Report), and 7 letter
reports. Nearly every program office of the Agency was affected
by one or another of the reviews. 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. FY90 also saw the first Annual Meeting
of the Science Advisory Board.
The Executive Committee (EC) met four times during FY90 to
conduct its business of overseeing activities of the Board and
reviewing Committee reports for transmittal to the Administrator.
In addition there were 24 subcommittee meetings, including 22
meetings of the EC Relative Risk Reduction Strategies Committee
(RRRSC) and its subcommittees, many of whose logistical
operations were aided by contractor support, funded through
contributions from Agency offices. The Mission and Functioning
Subcommittee of the EC established a "self-study" of the SAB.
The meetings covered a wide variety of issues, some of which
resulted in reports of EC Subcommittees: Lead Carcinogenicity;
Products of Incomplete Combustion, Reducing Risk Report and 3
Appendices; and 2,3,7,8-TCDD.
Drinking Water Committee (DWC) held three full Committee
meetings and one Subcommittee meeting during the year. They
addressed a number of issues: consultation on disinfection;
disinfectants and disinfection byproducts research; health
effects of nitrates and nitrites; health effects of styrene
microbiological research program; and reaction kinetics and
byproducts of chlorination.
Ecological Processes and Effects Committee (EPEC) was
reconstituted from the prior Environmental Effects, Transport and
Fate Committee (EET&FC), with input from the Environmental
Engineering Committee. EPEC is now guided by a formal mission
statement approved by the EC. During the year EPEC held two full
Committee meetings and four Subcommittee meetings. A number of
issues were examined during this time: consultation on ecological
risk assessment guidelines; compendium of methods for
classification of sediments; core ecological research program;
113

SCIENCK ADVISORY HOARD
RECENT
ACCOMPLISHMENTS
ecoregions; equilibrium partitioning approach for sediment
quality; and ecological indicators for the Environmental
Monitoring and Assessment Program (EMAP).
Environmental Engineering Committee (EEC) conducted three
meetings of the full Committee and five meetings of various
Subcommittees. Of particular note was the successful SAB
workshop in May, 1990 on the scientific and technical principles
pertaining to leachability phenomena. Distinguished scientists,
engineers, and practitioners experienced in leachability issues
focused on the basic principles underlying the leaching process.
The workshop drew over 50 participants. In addition, a videotape
of the proceedings was made available to an even wider audience
in EPA Headquarters and the Regions.
The following topics were addressed during the year:
asbestos abatement technology; CANSAZ (saturated zone) flow and
transport model; leachability phenomena; municipal solid waste
research; municipal waste combustion ash; solidification/
stabilization research program; ORD's Risk Reduction core
research strategy; toxics treatability and toxicity
reduction research for wastewater.
Environmental Health Committee (EHC) conducted two full
Committee meetings and one Metals Subcommittee meeting during
FY90. In addition, several members were active in the EC
Subcommittee review of the carcinogenicity of lead.
The following topics were addressed during the year:
biomarkers research strategy; cholinesterase inhibition
integrated Risk Information System; risk assessment guidelines
for developmental toxicity; and uncertainty and modifying factors
in setting reference doses.
Indoor Air Quality/Total Human Exposure Committee (IAQC)
did not meet in FY90, although they did send a commentary to the
Administrator on a number of issues.
Radiation Advisory Committee (RAG) conducted two full
Committee meetings and eight Subcommittee meetings, seven of
which concerned radionuclides in drinking water and were
conducted via publicly announced conference calls. Because this
Subcommittee never met face to face, SAB staff videotaped the
Agency's ODW presentation for further study and later
presentation before the parent Committee.
The following topics were addressed at these meetings:
commentary on non-ionizing radiation; correlation of short-term
and long-term tests for radon for use by homeowners in making
mitigation decisions; design of the national survey for radon in
schools; radon risk estimates for smokers, non-smokers and
children; residual radioactivity and contaminated sites; and

Research Strategies Advisory Committee (RSAC) conducted
five events in FY90: three Subcommittee meetings, a conference
call, and participation in atne'etlng of the Bese.ar'ch Strategy
Council. The following topics were addressed at these meetings:
SAB views on ORD budget; Scientific and Technical Awards; and
Review of core research on Health Risk Assessment.
In addition, the RSAC received reports from EPEC and EEC on
core research on ecology and risk reduction, respectively. These
reports were reviewed by the RSAC and provided input to the RSAC
Chair when he participated in the summer meeting of the Agency's
Research Strategy Council.
The SAB is entering a new era of activity and involvement in
the Agency. The current Administrator and Deputy Administrator
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.
During FY91 the SAB Staff will be working with the Agency
and the Board to involve both institutions in the setting of
priorities for the SAB. Current resources do not permit the
Board's examining all of the issues which could be profitably
addressed. The Agency is simply involved in too many substantive
issues. Therefore, there is a need to set priorities, a process
which should involve a wide range of people and ideas. Through
an invigorated Executive Committee, a more active SAB
Consultative Group, and more dynamic relationships with program
office staff, the SAB Staff will more clearly identify and
describe the possible projects that could be brought to the
Board. They will work with various SAB Committees (especially
the Executive Committee) to select those issues that are the most
pertinent and promising, based on the specific criteria
established by the Mission and Functioning Committee. Some
topics are likely to be quite controversial; e.g., risk
assessment for environmental tobacco smoke and electromagnetic
fields. In addition, the Agency's implementation of the
recommendations in Reducing Risk is likely to involve the SAB in
a variety of priority setting exercises.
The coming year will also see a strong effort to implement
the remaining recommendations contained in the management study.
It is clear that the Staff cannot make additional progress by
simply "working harder"; in the future, we must be "working
smarter", which means rebuilding and modernizing the
infrastructure which supports the work of the Board.
In sum, FY91 holds fine prospects for the Board's working
smarter to protect human health and the environment.

POLICY DIALOGUE COMMITTEE FOR EPA's MINING PROGRAM
1. PURPOSE. This charter establishes the Policy Dialogue
Committee for EPA's mining program in accordance with the
provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5 U.S.C.
App. § 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 Sections 8002 of
the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA).
3. OBJECTIVE AND SCOPE OF ACTIVITY. The Policy Dialogue
Committee will provide a forum to refine and further develop
issues related to managing mining waste and to facilitate the
exchange of ideas and information among the interested parties.
It is hoped that consensus may be possible on some issues but, at
a minimum, EPA would like to ensure that issues are thoroughly
defined and that differing positions, as well as the reasons for
those differences, are identified. The output of the Policy
Dialogue Committee would be made available to various decision-
makers in the mining program development process.
4. FUNCTIONS. As indicated above, the Committee's function is
to assist directly in the development of EPA's mining program.
With the participation of knowledgeable, affected parties, EPA
expects to develop a more practical, protective approach at less

Office of Policy, Planning and Evaluation will provide
administrative and process support to the Committee.
6. MEETINGS. Meetings shall be held as necessary, at the call
of the Chair, with an agenda for each meeting approved in advance
by the Designated Federal Official. 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 March 30, 1992,
unless the Deputy Administrator determines that the Committee
will finish its work within 30 days of the original termination
date. If the Deputy Administrator makes such a determination, he
can extend the termination date by 30 days without further
consultation with GSA. In the event more time is needed, EPA may

ABSTRACTS FOR SAB REPORTS
001 Review of Lead Carcinogenicity and EPA Scientific Policy on
Lead.
This report presents the conclusions and recommendations of
the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency's Science Advisory
Board summarizing a review of the Office of Research and
Development's Draft Assessment Document "Review of the
Carcinogenetic Potential of Lead Associated with Oral Exposure."
The Board's major conclusion is that the proposed B2
classification is appropriate, but that there is not sufficient
basis for a quantitative risk assessment. The Board recommends
that EPA establish a national blood lead policy, create internal
mechanisms to assure that all organizations within the Agency
deal with lead-related scientific issues in a sound and
consistent manner, and that regulatory strategy be based upon
preventing lead-induced neurological in children—a sensitive
population.
Key Words; Lead; carcinogenicity; B2, blood lead policy.
002 Review of the OAQPS Lead Staff Paper and the ECAO Air
Quality Criteria Document Supplement.
This is the report of the EPA's Clean Air Scientific
Advisory Committee on its review of the Agency's draft documents:
"Supplement to the 1986 Air Quality Criteria for Lead - Volume I
Addendum (Pages Al - A67)":, and "Review of the National Ambient
Air Quality Standards for Lead: Assessment of Scientific and
Technical Information", both dated March 1989. These documents
were reviewed in public session on April 27, 1989, with the
Committee reaching the conclusion that the documents provide an
adequate scientific and technical basis for EPA to retain or
revise primary and secondary national ambient air quality
standards for lead.
Key Words; Lead; National Ambient Air Quality standards; NAAQS;
Air Pollution.
003 Reivew of the Office of Research and Development's Documents
relating to the Risk and Exposure Assessment of
2,3,7,8-TCDD.
In 1988 the Agency asked the Science Advisory Board to
review two documents: "A Cancer Risk-specific Dose Estimate for
2,3,7,8-TCDD" and "Estimating Exposure to 2,3,7,8,-TCDD". In
response, the SAB Executive Committee (EC) appointed a "Dioxin"
Panel, co-chaired by Dr. Bernard Goldstein of the Robert Wood
Johnson Medical School and Dr. Nancy Kim of the New York State
Department of Health. The Panel conducted a public meeting in
131
-------
November, 1988 to review the documents. On October 24, 1989, Dr.
Kim presented the report which was approved by the Executive
Committee.
The Panel concluded that both documents were carefully
constructed, well-written, and represented a significant effort
to document and explain how the hazard and exposure scientific
data have been analyzed.
With respect to the first document, the Panel
a. Agreed with criticism of the Linearized Multistage (LMS) model
and pointed to newer models that should be further developed
and validated.
b. Agreed that no new information had appeared that would alter
the result of the application of LMS to the data.
c. Agreed that new mechanistic and cancer biology information has
appeared and could be of major significance on regulatory
decisions.
d. Did not agree that the new information mandates a change in
the Agency 1985 risk specific dose (RsD).
e. Found no reason to necessarily believe that application of a
new model to the data would lead to a relaxation in the RsD.
f. Found no scientific basis at this time for the proposed change
in the RsD, but acknowledged that the Agency might make such
a change on policy grounds.
With respect to the second document, the Panel found it to
be an excellent, credible document, citing as the most important
implication the finding that for the general population indirect
exposure—dietary inputs—predominate over direct inputs.
Additional comments were made that would lead to improvements in
"dioxin" exposure assessments.
Key Words: Dioxin, 2,3,7,8-TCDD
004 Review of OSW Proposed Controls for Hazardous Waste
Incineration: Products of Incomplete Combustion.
The Products of Incomplete Combustion (PICs) Subcommittee of
the EPA's SAB reviewed the Office of Solid Waste's (OSW) proposal
to control emissions of PICs from hazardous waste incinerators by
instituting process controls based on Carbon Monoxide (CO) and
Total Hydrocarbon (THC) emission concentrations. Because
compounds known to cause adverse human health effects have been
detected at very low concentrations in PICs, it is prudent to
take precautionary measures to control PICs. However, the
linkages between emission concentration, exposure, and effects
(health and environmental) were not documented.
The proposal for controls was made even though OSW has not
established that emission of PICs from hazardous waste
incinerators currently pose a substantial risk. EPA's risk
assessments indicate that emission of PICs at currently measured
132
-------
levels are not likely to produce significant human health
effects. However, since the current destruction-removal
efficiency (DRE) standard applies only to designated POHCs, a 4-
nines (99.99%) DRE does not preclude the possibility that
emission of PICS could present significant human health risk.
The concept of using CO and/or THC as guidance for
incinerator operational control is reasonable. The concentration
limits for CO and THC, the averaging methods, and the averaging
periods EPA chose were selected on the basis of informed
judgments using the best available data.
Continuous emissions monitoring for THC with a cold system
appears to be practical for routine operations. Because
incinerators may emit more PICs when upset due to changes in
waste quantity or composition that can result from abrupt waste
feed shutoff, a poorly implemented automatic shutdown strategy
has the potential to create more pollution than it stops.
The Subcommittee found that the data base characterizing
PICs in emissions would not allow a correlation to be established
with CO or THC levels for various combustion devices and/or
conditions. The sparseness of data introduces large
uncertainties into EPA's risk assessment. This uncertainty
limits the usefulness of one approach proposed by OSW to control
THC emissions—using site-specific quantitative risk assessment
to establish acceptable THC emission rates. Despite the
limitations of the risk assessment methodology, however, the
Subcommittee considers the methodology sufficient to provide a
risk-based check on an alternative proposal by OSW—limiting THC
concentrations to levels representative of good operating
practice.
Key Words; Hazardous Waste Incineration, Products of Incomplete
Combustion
005 Use of Uncertainty and Modifying Factors in Establishing
Reference Dose Levels.
The Science Advisory Board's Environmental Health Committee
reviewed the use of uncertainty and modifying factors in the
assessment of the risks of systemic toxicants (non-carcinogens).
These factors are important because they are applied to toxicity
data to yield the Reference Dose (RfD) which serves as the basis
for many subsequent regulatory decisions. The Committee has
reservations about the current use of the No Observed Adverse
Effect Level (NOAEL) or Lowest Observed Adverse Effect Level
(LOAEL) to calculate the RfD and recommends that the Agency
consider incorporating alternative methods (such as the benchmark
dose level) in addition to the current NOAEL/LOAEL procedure.
With respect to uncertainty factors, the Committee notes
that analyses of empirical evidence shows that the magnitude of
the factors required to extrapolate from animal data to humans
1JJ3
-------
varies greatly among chemicals. The Agency currently has no
established comprehensive research program to investigate the
appropriate magnitude of such factors. Given the importance of
this area, such research is warranted. The inclusion of a
statistician on the RfD Working Group would improve current
practice.
Key Words; Reference Dose Levels
006 Evaluation of the Equilibrium Partitioning (EqP) Approach
for Assessing Sediment Quality
This report presents the conclusions and recommendations of
the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency's Science Advisory
Board summarizing a review of the Equilibrium Partitioning (EqP)
approach for estimating sediment quality. The EqP approach
relates the level of a chemical that has been found to be
acceptable from a biological standpoint to the corresponding
concentration of the chemical sorbet to sediments. The value
that results, the sediment quality value, is based on the
assumption that only the portion of the chemical dissolved in the
water surrounding sediment particles is available to exert
toxicity on resident biota. The approach, as developed and
reviewed to date, pertains only to non-ionic organic compounds.
The EP approach is considered by the Subcommittee to have major
strengths in its foundation in chemical theory, its ease of
calculation, and its ability to make use of existing data. In
addition, the researchers responsible for its development have
begun to explore the uncertainty surrounding the approach, which
is to be commended. While the conceptual basis of the approach
is supported by the Subcommittee, its application at this time is
limited. This is because a better understanding of the
uncertainty around the assumptions inherent in the approach, is
needed. This includes assumptions of equilibrium, bioavailabi-
lity, effect levels, and kinetics, all of which are critical to
the application of the EP approach. Additional concerns
expressed by the Subcommittee relate to the limited number of
existing water quality criteria which the EP approach can use,
the compound-specific nature of the approach, and the
questionable ability of the method to protect sediment-ingesting
organisms. The exposure to organisms by food chain transfer is
also not considered and the amount of field data to validate the
EqP approach is limited. Some suggestions for research to
explore the sources of uncertainty and the Subcommittee's other
concerns are provided in the report.
Key Words; Sediment, EqP, Equilibrium Partitioning
approach: Nonionic organic compounds
007 Recommendations for Research in the Area of Disinfectants
and Disinfection By-Products.
The Drinking Water Committee (DWC) of the Science Advisory
Board has examined a range of possible changes in existing
134
-------
regulations that currently control drinking water disinfection
practices in the United States. The DWC report addresses areas
of scientific and engineering research that will provide
important insights on the alternatives under consideration.
Research recommendations are made in four areas: health effects,
chemical characterization and monitoring, microbiology, and
treatment technologies. The Committee highlights those
recommendations that are of the highest priority.
Key Words; Drinking Water, Disinfection
008 Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS)
On October 26, 1989 the Environmental Health Committee
received a briefing on the Agency's Integrated Risk Information
System (IRIS), an Agency consensus compendium of information
related to the risks of individual chemicals. The Committee
observed that these data would be of great utility beyond EPA and
encouraged increased accessibility of the information. The
delivery system should be more "user friendly" than is currently
the case, and appropriate training should be made available to
the increased number of users. The data in IRIS should be
carefully reviewed for its accuracy, timeliness, and completeness
and caveated appropriately. Any SAB reviews of the chemicals
should be included as a part of the IRIS data base, together with
a summary of the Agency's response to those SAB reviews. The
Committee noted that IRIS currently lacks citations to some key
EPA reports on specific chemicals; this should be corrected in
the future. Finally, the Committee urged that the Agency
generate an overall strategy for coordinating, cross-referencing
and standardizing access to various computerized lists of
chemicals that are being developed for different, but related,
purposes.
Key Words; IRIS, Risk Information
009 Review of the OSW's CANSAZ Flow & Transport Model for Use in
EPACMS
The Saturated Zone Model Subcommittee of the Environmental
Engineering Committee of the EPA Science Advisory Board has
prepared a report on the Agency's CANSAZ (Combined Analytical-
Numerical Saturated Zone) flow and transport model for use in
EPACMS (the EPA Composite Model for Surface Impoundments). The
Subcommittee examined the appropriateness of the assumptions
underlying CANSAZ for use in a nationwide Monte Carlo assessment,
as well as the adequacy of the code for simulating conditions
beneath surface impoundments. Specifically, the Subcommittee
evaluated five topics: 1)proper mathematical formulation,
2)adequacy of physical assumptions, 3)adequacy of the Monte Carlo
approach, 4)adequacy of field testing of the model, and 5)the
overall modeling approach.
While the mathematical equations and the numerical solution
135
-------
methods are properly formulated and solved, the Subcommittee
suggested improvements to the physical assumptions, improvements
to the current input data-set documentation and validation, and
improvements needed to validate the EPACMS model for use in
either a site-specific evaluation or a nationwide assessment.
The Subcommittee highly preferred site-specific evaluation, but
made recommendations to improve the assessment should the Agency
choose to utilize the nationwide Monte Carlo approach. These
suggestions incorporate regional variations in the assessment,
explicitly ban the disposal of desisted wastes in extreme
hydrogeologic settings, and provide a mechanism for all
constituents in a waste to be evaluated in a listing or delisting
decision.
Key Words; Modeling, saturated zone, surface impoundment.
10 Review of ORD's Municipal Waste Combustion Ash
Solidification/Stabilization Research Program
The Municipal Waste Combustion Ash Subcommittee reviewed the
Agency's municipal waste combustion ash solidification-
stabilization (S/S) research program. The issues reviewed were:
1)appropriate testing procedures to be applied to S/S ash
products and reuse products made from S/S ash to determine long-
term environmental effects, and 2)methods of testing to determine
the bioavailability and toxicity of S/S ash products.
The Subcommittee's findings and recommendations for long-
term effects research dealt with test routines and leach testing
research, focusing upon the properties of the leachate and the
physical and chemical characteristics of the solid matrix in
order to define the breakdown and exposure of surfaces of
stabilized products, through evaluation of weathering, and for
some reuse alternatives, of dynamic abrasion and erosion. Other
findings and recommendations dealt with the effect of salts,
microbial activity and swelling of ash upon the long-term
usefulness of concrete products, and the usefulness of
deterministic models of transport mechanisms to assess relative
effectiveness of the various S/S treatment processes.
Highlights of the findings and recommendations for
bioavailability and toxicity dealt with examining bioavailability
and biotoxicity as two distinct and separate phenomena, the
effectiveness of bioassays for making relative comparisons of the
toxicities of leachates derived from various ashes and products,
the need for extensive bioassay testing, and the finding that no
single bioassay procedure can adequately assess biological
effects of residue reuse or disposal alternatives.
Key Words; Ash, Ash Research, Municipal Waste Combustion Ash,
Ash Solidification/Stabilization.
11 1989 EPA Scientific and Technological Achievement Award
Nominations
136
-------
The report represents the conclusions and recommendations of
the US EPA's Science Advisory Board regarding the 1989 EPA
Scientific and Technological Achievement Awards (STAA) program.
The Scientific and Technological Achievement Awards Subcommittee
of the SAB reviewed and evaluated the 1989 nominations for the
STAA program. The Subcommittee evaluated 106 papers that were
nominated by EPA managers. The Subcommittee recommended twenty-
five papers for awards and also recommended to the Office of
Research and Development that three additional papers be
recognized as honorable mention. The Subcommittee made no
attempt to ensure equality of numbers or proportion of awards
across the categories or Agency research components. However,
the Subcommittee recommended awards for papers from eleven EPA
research laboratories, two EPA regional offices, and one EPA
headquarters program office. The Subcommittee recommended that
the Agency clarify its instructions to nominators and that the
nomination process close in October so that more time could be
given for technical review of the nominations by the
Subcommittee. The Subcommittee also encouraged the Agency to
support the program at the highest levels of management.
Key Words; Awards
12 Review of the FY 91 President's Budget for Research
and Development
The SAB is pleased to note the substantial improvement in
the concept and rationale underlying the Office of Research and
Development (ORD) budget plan evident in the 1991 presentation.
Although the ORD budget remains grossly inadequate in relation to
the needs, the allocations to the various programs are, within
the overall limits imposed, and with the exceptions noted,
reasonable and appropriate. They will permit progress in the
most critical areas of concern and make effective use of
available personnel and resources.
Key Words; Research and Development, Funding, Budget.
013 Review of the Office of Research and Development's document,
Proposed Amendments to the Guidelines for the Health
Assessment of Suspect Developmental Toxicants.
On March 6, 1989 EPA proposed amendments to the Guidelines
for the Health Assessment of Suspect Developmental Toxicants.
The Amendments expanded and clarified points made in the original
guidelines and added new information based on advances in this
field.
The Environmental Health Committee of the Science Advisory
Board supports many of the proposed revisions to the Guidelines;
there are, however, areas in which improvements could be made and
detailed comments were furnished to the Agency. These items
notwithstanding, there was a consensus that the proposed
137
-------
revisions were adequately founded in developmental toxicology and
represented a step forward for EPA. The Agency is advised to
revisit the weight-of-evidence scheme proposed, in order to avoid
confusion with more commonly applied uses of such
classifications, and to develop a more powerful approach.
Further, the Agency should begin to move away from the current
use of the No Observed Adverse Effects/Lowest Observed Adverse
Effects Level (NOAEL/LOEAEL) basis for calculating the Reference
Dose, to a benchmark dose/confidence limit approach, tied to
empirical models for dose-response relationships.
Key Words; Developmental Toxicants; Guideline Amendments for
Health Assessment.
014 Joint SAB/SAP Review of Cholinesterase
Inhibition and Its Effects
Inhibition of Cholinesterase enzyme activity is a mechanism
by which an important class of insecticides exerts its effects.
Compounds of this class exert toxic effects in mammals, including
humans. Because of their widespread application in agriculture
they arouse health concerns, not only about exposure of
agricultural workers, but also about exposure of consumers who
may be exposed to minute residues in or on agricultural products.
The reviewers expressed doubt about the validity of plasma
and red blood cell (RBC) ChEI as indicators of toxicity. In
addressing the issue of vulnerability of the developing organism,
the reviewers noted that, although maternal exposure to ChEI
agents may also expose the fetus, and alter brain ChEI levels,
the consequences for nervous system development and postnatal
function have received no more than minimal study. The reviewers
agreed with the EPA Technical Panel conclusion that the evidence
for enhanced developmental susceptibility is ambiguous. The
Joint Study Group expressed unanimity that ChEI is a biomarker
for exposure, and, whether in blood or nervous tissue, indicates
absorption. The relationship between degree of ChEI and toxicity
remains unclear, and correlations between exposure indices and
neurotoxic manifestations tend to be weak.
Key Words; Cholinesterase Inhibition, Biomarker, ChEI
015 Review of Reaction Kinetics and Reaction Products of
Chlorine and Chloramines in the Digestive Tract.
The Toxicology Subcommittee of the Science Advisory Board's
Drinking Water Committee met in Washington, DC, on December 8,
1989 to review the document produced for the Office of Drinking
Water entitled "Reaction Kinetics and Reaction Products of
chlorine and Chloramines in the Digestive Tract", written by Dr.
Frank E. Scully, Jr. (Old Dominion University) and Dr. William
White (University of Vermont) .
The document focuses on the extrapolation of information
138
-------
about reactions of saliva and gastric juices with disinfectants
commonly found in disinfected drinking water at high dose levels
to predict the reactions that may occur of much lower dose
levels. The Subcommittee agrees that the mechanisms involved at
low dose levels differ from those as high dose levels, and that a
simple linear relationship therefore, should not be used for
extrapolation. Further, the toxicity of the disinfectants may
not be distinguishable from the toxicity of the by-products at
low dose levels both for chlorine and for chloramines used as
disinfectants. Although chlorine reacts quickly, chloramine
tends to be more stable in saliva and gastric juices. Due to the
stability of chloramine in saliva, there is some potential for
absorption in the mouth, esophagus, and stomach. Therefore, some
toxicological effects of chloramine may be attributable to the
parent compound.
The Subcommittee recommends that this problem area receive
more research support. The particular research recommended here
should include both in vivo and in vitro studies. Specific
research efforts recommended include verifying the differences
between rat and human saliva, performing studies on the by-
products formed and determining the reaction chemical by-products
that may be formed.
Key Words: Disinfection, Chlorine, Chloramine, Kinetics.
016 Re-Evaluation of Issues Concerning the Health Effects of
Styrene
The Drinking Water Committee reaffirms its previous position
(see Science Advisory Board report SAB-EHC-99-039 dated July 19,
1988) that styrene can be classified in EPA's weight-of-evidence
category C, rather than B2. It also finds that the study
entitled, "Chronic Toxicity and Three-Generation Reproduction
Study of Styrene Monomer in Drinking Water of Rats" by Beliles
et al. (1985) could be used appropriately in establishing a
Reference Dose (RfD) for non-carcinogenic effects.
Key Words; Styrene, RfD, Carcinogenicity
017 Research-In-Progress Review/ORD's Toxics Treatability and
Toxicity Reduction Research Program
The Toxics Treatability Subcommittee (TTS) of the
Environmental Engineering Committee (EEC) of the EPA SAB has
prepared a Research-In-Progress report on the Agency's Toxics
Treatability and Toxicity Reduction research program. The goals
of the TT&TR research program are to develop protocols to assess
l)the fate of toxicants through wastewater treatment plants and
2)the integrated toxicity of wastewater treatment effluents by
use of selected bioassays. The program is organized into three
work areas: toxicants treatability, toxicant modeling, and
toxicity reduction evaluations. The TT&TR research program is
considered by the SAB to be critically important in meeting
139
-------
National water quality goals and to have many excellent elements.
The SAB's findings and recommendations relate to the program
research plan, toxicants treatability, toxicant modeling,
toxicity reduction evaluations and bioassay and genotoxicity
testing. Highlights of the SAB recommendations are that:
1. A carefully constructed and integrated research plan
should be developed.
2. A common and prioritized biotic and abiotic fate data
base and list of toxicants should be greatly expanded, primarily
from the published literature.
3. The modeling area needs a directed, critical review.
4. A peer review is needed on all bioassay and genotoxicity
tests before they are broadly applied to wastewater and treatment
plant effluents.
5. A substantial technology transfer program will be
required.
Key Words; Toxics Treatability, Toxicity Reduction.
018 Evaluation of the Sediment Classification
Methods Compendium
This report presents the findings and recommendations of the
U. S. Environmental Protection Agency's Science Advisory Board
summarizing a review of the Sediment Classification Methods
Compendium. The review was documented by the Sediment Criteria
Subcommittee. The Compendium is intended as a reference for
methods that can be used to assess the quality of chemically
contaminated sediments. It describes ten methods, their
associated strengths and limitations and existing applications.
Overall, the Subcommittee believes that the Compendium will be
useful if it is periodically updated and if the Agency conducts
research to address some of the limitations associated with
particular approaches. In addition, the introduction should be
expanded to include a discussion of references and advice for
sample collection and handling, quality assurance/quality
control, tiered approaches for recommended that EPA conduct
research to address some of the limitations of the existing
methods. For all approaches, protocols should be developed for
handling and collection samples, for sample storage, and basic
quality assurance procedures. This should be added as
introductory material to the compendium. Additional methods are
needed to assess other endpoints, such as chronic toxicity and
teratogenicity. Additional suggestions for method specific
research are discussed in the report. The Subcommittee did not
identify any additional methods for inclusion in the report.

019 Evaluation of the Core Program for Ecological
Research
The Ecological Processes and Effects Committee of the
Science Advisory Board met on April 2-3, 1990, to review the
concept of the Core Ecological Research Plan. This Plan uses
risk assessment as its organizational framework. Currently, the
assessment focuses on protecting ecosystems. The Committee
unanimously supports the use of risk assessment for organizing
this plan; however, EPA should not limit itself to protecting
ecosystems because most of the data on effects necessary to
assess and quantify risks are derived from community, population,
and sub-organismal studies.
The Core Ecological Research Program, as presented to our
Committee, appeared to place almost all its initial emphasis on
the Environmental Monitoring and Assessment Program (EMAP)
component of the program. The Committee recommended that ORD
place higher priority than it now does on risk characterization
in the early stages of this Core Research Program. Research to
improve understandings of causal relationships underlying
ecological impacts and to analyze ecological data should parallel
the EMAP report to monitor ecological status trends.
The plan should identify those responsible for conducting
research on the statistical foundations of risk assessment,
quantifying uncertainty, and selecting and validating model used
for risk assessment.
All of the components of the Core Ecological Research
Program are interrelated. EPA visualizes risk assessment as a
series of steps that can be addressed one at a time. The
Committee encourages EPA to recognize that these components
interact appreciably and that risk communication is part of each
component of the process.
The Committee recommends that the SAB review and monitor
progress of the major components of EMAP.

020 Review of ORD's Draft Core Health Risk Research Plan
for Health Risk Assessment
This report presents the conclusions and recommendations of
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Science Advisory Board
review of the Office of Research and Development's draft research
plan for Core Health Risk Assessment. The Board's consensus was
that the proposal was well written, and identified many
worthwhile subjects for longer-term environmental health
research. At the same time, it failed to provide priority-
setting mechanisms, did not relate its agenda to on-going
-------
national research programs, and seemed overly bound to a risk
assessment paradigm.
Key Words; Environmental Health Research, Risk Assessment, Long-
Term Research, Core Research.
021 Reducing Risk: Setting Priorities and Strategies for
Environmental Protection
The EPA Administrator charged the SAB to:
1. Critically review and update Unfinished Business, the
Agency's 1987 report that ranked environmental problems according
to the relative risks they posed in four areas—cancer, non-
cancer health effects, ecology and welfare.
2. To the extent possible, merge the evaluations of: a)
cancer and non-cancer risks and b) ecological and welfare and
risks.
3. Provide optional strategies for reducing the major
environmental risks.
4. Develop a long-term strategy for improving the
comparative risk and strategy options exercise.
The Reduction Risk report, an overview report supported by
three appendixes, strongly endorses the concept of comparative
risk embodied in Unfinished Business, updating the material and
methods found there. The report provides suggestions on how to
merge qualitatively different risk concerns. Six different
approaches for mitigating major environmental risks are
presented. The report discusses the strengths and limitations of
process with specific suggestions for improving and continuing
this important type of analyses.
In toto, the report provides a broader vision of
environmental protection as something much more than simply
implementing environmental law. Recognizing the changing nature
of the remaining and emerging environmental problems, it contains
ten specific recommendations that would lead to an integrated
effort for reducing the major environmental risks in the most
cost-effective manner.
EPA-SAB-EC-021 Appendix A: Report of the Ecology and
Welfare Subcommittee
The Ecology and Welfare Subcommittee of the RRRSC of the U.
S. EPA's Science Advisory Board reviewed the ecological and
welfare components of the Agency's 1987 report entitled
"Unfinished Business: A Comparative Analysis of Environmental
Problems". The Subcommittee was critical of the original EPA
ranking of environmental problem areas that mixed sources,
receptors, media, and specific regulatory obligations, since this
142
-------
categorization reflected EPA programmatic interests more than it
provided a rational basis for evaluating environmental problems
in the U.S. In addition, some ecologically significant problems
that were outside of EPA's regulatory purview were omitted. The
Subcommittee was also critical of the welfare effects analysis,
finding it to be defined too narrowly.
The Subcommittee developed alternative methodologies for
evaluating ecological and welfare risk assessments: a)
aggregation of related EPA environmental problem areas into a
more limited number of categories and then ranking those
categories; and b) disaggregation of the initial EPA and
environmental problem areas into environmentally-relevant
categories of stresses and then ranking those categories. The
ecological problem areas that were consistently ranked the
highest by the Subcommittee were habitat alteration, global
climate change, and stratospheric ozone depletion.
The Subcommittee developed six major recommendations from
its review of the Unfinished Business report: a) formalize an
extramural and continuous process for ecological risk
prioritization; this process should not be categorized by Agency
programmatic structure but rather by anthropogenic stresses on
the environment; b) invest in development of formal methodologies
for ecological risk assessment; c) develop the data bases needed
for improving future ecological risk assessments; d) develop an
appropriate methodology for integrating ecological and economic
time dimensions; e) EPA should give more consideration to non-
economic aspects of ecological values and welfare risks; f)
consider the results from this risk ranking process, including
the 1990 risk reduction study, in development of future Agency
policy and in allocation of financial resources.
The Subcommittee reached a strong consensus that the
relative risk assessment process is a good mechanisms to
formulate public policy from a scientific base of data and
mechanistic processes and recommended that the Agency
institutionalize this approach on a regular basis, providing the
trained personnel and scientific data-bases needed to establish a
scientific credibility for the process.
EPA-SAB-RRRSC-90-021 Appendix B: Report of the Human
Health Subcommittee
The Human Health Subcommittee of the Relative Risk Reduction
Strategies Committee (RRRSC) of the U.S. EPA's Science Advisory
Board reviewed the Agency's 1987 report entitled Unfinished
Business: A Comparative Analysis of Environmental Problems. The
Subcommittee's goal was to evaluate the report's methodology for
ranking environmental health problems, determine the extent to
which the risk rankings for different environmental problems
should be revised or updated, combine if possible, rankings for
carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic effects into single aggregate
ranking, and recommend approaches for the improved methodologies
143
-------
for assessing and ranking environmental risks to human health.
The Subcommittee was critical of the original EPA ranking of
problem areas which included a mixture of specific environmental
pollutants, sources of pollutants, exposure media, and exposure
situations—and which appeared not to have been selected on the
basis of their relevance to environmental and health hazard
assessment, or on the basis of overall public health
significance. Most of the 31 categories are so broad, and
include so many toxic and non-toxic agents, that ranking of these
categories could not be performed with any rigor or confidence.
Problem areas in the Unfinished Business report representing
proximal human exposure situations were assigned the highest
relative risk rankings for cancer and/or other adverse health
effects. Of the "high" relative risk rankings assigned in the UB
report, those for criteria air pollutants, hazardous air
pollutants, indoor radon, other indoor air pollution, drinking
water pollutants, the application of pesticides, and occupational
exposure to chemical were considered to be supported more firmly
by the available data than were the rankings for the others.
Future efforts should focus on broad environmental problems,
without regard to internal organizational structures or to
ultimate regulatory responsibility. The Subcommittee recommends
a new approach to the risk ranking process, using a matrix based
on sources, exposure situations, agents, and health outcomes.
This approach will identify specific agents and mixtures (and the
principal sources and exposure situations in which they are
found) that should receive priorities for applying risk reduction
efforts. The Subcommittee further recommends that the Agency
assign a specific management focal point for this effort to
assure accountability, establish a risk assessment framework for
other toxicants consistent with that used for carcinogens,
establish a formal mechanism for risk anticipation, expand long-
range research on the assessment of human exposure, and improve
the relevant toxicological science base.
EPA-SAB-EC-90-021C Report of the Strategic Options Subcommittee
The Strategic Options Subcommittee of the RRRSC identified
strategy options for reducing risks from a sample of 13
environmental problems. In addition, the Subcommittee developed
either broad recommendations for environmental risk reduction:
1. EPA should establish priorities based on the potential
for risk reduction.
2. Pollution prevention should be the most important
approach for reducing environmental risks over the long term.
3. In order to reduce risk and prevent pollution in a
significant way, EPA must substantially broaden its kit of
environmental protection tools, especially to emphasize economic
incentives and information transfer.
144
-------
4. Environmental protection must be integrated into other
policy areas, in as fundamental a manner as are economic
concerns.
5. In order to integrate environmental policy into other
policies, a special governmental mechanisms should be created in
the Executive Branch.
6. EPA should continue to perform analysis similar to the
present KRRSC Proj ect and integrate the results in the Agency's
strategic planning process.
7. EPA's annual budget should more directly reflect risk
based priorities.
8. The Agency should develop an enhanced environmental
education and training program for both professionals and the
general public.

022 Review of ORD Risk Reduction Core Research Strategy
The Risk Reduction Subcommittee (RRS) of the Environmental
Engineering Committee (EEC) of the EPA Science Advisory Board
(SAB) has prepared a report on the Agency's proposed Risk
Reduction Core Research Strategy. The Subcommittee examined
issues within the core research proposal for risk reduction and
answered the issues posed by the EPA's Office of Research and
Development (ORD) relating to clarity of conceptual strategy,
appropriateness of major areas for research, the appropriateness
and completeness of research proposed within each of the sub-
elements, and the rationale and need for each sub-element.
The Subcommittee examined five major topical areas related
to the core research program for risk reduction: pollution
prevention, pollution control, emerging and future issues,
information and communication, and the implementation strategy.
The Subcommittee's findings and recommendations for long-
term sustained risk reduction core research address the need to
develop a culture that recognizes the values and benefits of
sustained long-term core research as contrasted to the short-term
marketability of programmatic research. The Subcommittee
stresses the need to institute more effective mechanisms for
recruiting and sustaining talented researchers oriented toward
long-term environmental problems and for the maintenance of a
sufficient human resources pool at all skill levels, both with
the Agency and in the complementary public and private sectors.
The Subcommittee also urges ORD to 1) develop criteria on methods
for measuring progress in the area of pollution prevention
initiatives, 2) recognize land disposal for municipal and
industrial wastes as a disposal option of continuing importance,
145
-------
and 3) incorporate a substantial element of contaminant transport
and fate research into the core research plan.

025 Review of ORD's Biomarker Research Strategy
The Science Advisory Board's Environmental Health Committee
met in Miami Beach, Florida, on February 15-16, 1990, to review
the Office of Research and Development's biomarker research
strategy. The committee was provided with a detailed document
describing the strategy (ORD Health Biomarker Research Program, A
Strategy For The Future, Briefing Document for the EPA Science
Advisory Board).
Biomarkers, broadly defined, are indicators of variation in
cellular or biochemical components or processes, structure, or
function that are measurable in biologic systems or samples.
They can, in some instances, provide evidence of exposure to
pollutants, early indicators of disease, and/or indication of the
susceptibility of individuals to a pollutant or disorder. The
Agency is to be commended for taking steps to develop a program
in this emerging scientific area, which holds the promise of
examining environmental questions in a more rigorous and cost-
effective way.
The biomarker research strategy document presented to the
Science Advisory Board's Environmental Health Committee was
basically a plan for a plan. It contained much useful and
generally accurate information about biomarkers, but it could
benefit from additions, clarifications, and other changes, as
suggested below. The major recommendations of the Committee
concerning the document and strategy were: a) the specific aims
of the strategy should be stated clearly; b) a rationale for
setting priorities should be included; c) the program should be
coordinated with similar programs in other Federal agencies; and
d) exposure biomarkers should be distinguished from effects
biomarkers.

ABSTRACTS FOR SAB LETTER REPORTS
001 Deliberations on Alternative Disinfection Processes
The SAB and Office of Drinking Water have participated
in an innovative approach in providing scientific and engineering
advice to the Agency; i.e. a consultation. This letter report
summarizes the procedure and describes briefly its generally
successful results to date. The report is a collection of ideas
expressed at the meeting. This is not a formal SAB report
however, since it was not reviewed by the Executive Committee and
forwarded to the Administrator.
002 Use of Indoor Air Quality/Total Human Exposure
Committee
The Executive Committee, on behalf of the Indoor Air
Quality and Total Human Exposure Committee, called the
Administrator's attention to the extremely limited role the
Committee has been able to play in advising him and Congress on
its mandated role under the Radon Gas and Indoor Air Quality
Research Act of 1986 (Title IV of SARA). EPA's asbestos in
schools program was identified as an example of where a major
indoor air initiative could have benefited from the advice of the
Committee.
003 Nonionizing Radiation
The Radiation Advisory Committee urges the Agency to
make provisions for an early resumption of the Agency's research
and related activities needed to make decisions about the
issuance of guidelines for exposure to nonionizing
electromagnetic fields.
004 Nitrates and Nitrites
The Drinking Water Committee reviewed the health effects of
nitrates and nitrites in drinking water and determined that such
a review would have to be postponed until the Agency had
developed documents on three issues: carcinogenicity, most
sensitive population, and developmental toxicity. Part of the
Agency seems to be proceeding with deliberate speed toward the
promulgation of a MCL for nitrate in drinking water without the
benefit of SAB comment on a revised criteria document for nitrate
and its metabolic product, nitrite. Many of these issues are
under discussion in the EPA RfD and CRAVE workgroups. The SAB
looks forward to reviewing the Agency's position on these issues
in a timely manner prior to promulgation of the rule.
005 Documentation of Ecological Risk Assessment
Consultation
The Ecological Processes and Effects Committee met with
the staff of the Risk Assessment Forum to discuss general
147
-------
questions that were related to the development of ecological risk
assessment guidelines. This meeting was a consultation which has
no formal report. Although the Committee did not attempt to
reach a consensus, there were several pertinent suggestions. The
Committee recommended that the EPA develop an outline of the
guidelines immediately and fill in the details later. The
Committee felt that it was important to establish a consistent
framework for ecorisk assessment in the EPA as soon as possible.
The Committee also recommended that EPA improve its coordination
and standardize the ecological risk terminology among the Risk
Assessment Forum, the Environmental Monitoring and Assessment
Program, and the Core Ecological Research Program within EPA. In
addition, the Committee discussed the principles and issues that
were related to endpoint selection, uncertainty, and risk
characterization.
006 CASAC Recommendations on the Pollutant Standards Index
The CASAC recommended to the Administrator that the
Agency update the 1976 guidance document (EPA-450/2-76-013) which
contains cautionary statements for public reporting of the air
quality Pollutant Standards Index (PSI). These statements are
issued by local air pollution agencies in preparing air quality
summaries which are provided to the media for public
dissemination. The Committee is concerned that the health
effects statements and cautionary language do not represent
current knowledge, particularly for ozone.
007 CASAC Visibility Research Subcommittee
As a result of the CASAC Visibility Research
Subcommittee Meeting in 1987 and the recent increased interest in
visibility in the Senate and House versions of the Clean Air Act,
the Committee recommended that the Agency initiate planning for
the development of an interagency visibility research plan. The
Committee noted that the Federal visibility research program
lacked adequate coordination, overall direction, and focus.
