FOREWORD
In the last decade alone, Congress has created 20 major
regulatory agencies. . . among them the Consumer Product Safety
Commission, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the Occupational
Safety and Health Administration. Coupled with older agencies
dating back to 1887, these newcomers give the federal government
a total of 90 regulatory entities that produce about 7,000 decisions
a year.
Tempting as it is to portray this extraordinary increase in
regulation as the creation of power-hungry bureaucrats or overly
zealous "public interest" advocates, the truth is that Big Regulation
has been forced on us by a Big Society. It was not regulators,
after all, who gave us Love Canal, a Hudson River contaminated by
PCBs, lakes devoid of life because of acid rain, or drinking water
tainted by chemicals. And it has not been government officials eager
to create red-tape empires who demanded new laws to control such
hazards, but a concerned and sometimes angry electorate.
Even so, federal agencies must ensure that new regulation fulfills
its purposes in the most efficient way possible, and that it
incorporates the most advanced scientific thinking. These qualities
are vital not only to minimize the economic impact of regulation,
but also to protect its enforceability: regulation must be able to
withstand legal, political, and scientific challenge as both effective
and fair.
Considering the incredible variety of the regulatory decisions
regularly faced by EPA — the following pages offer a representative
sampling -- it is clear that no federal agency can hope to retain
on its own staff all the scientific, technical, managerial, and legal
talent needed to address its responsibilities without swelling to an
insupportable size. Moreover, every agency needs an outside
perspective to balance the insiders' biases that inevitably develop
within any organization.
Providing this additional expertise and objectivity is the
function of the EPA Advisory Committees. Drawn from academe, business,
and the professions, the members of these Committees perform a public
service of inestimable worth not only to EPA, but to all American
citizens.
I am happy to have this opportunity/to thankxthem for their con-
tributions in the past, and to hope fenay they will con£i*rf!fe to serve
in the future. / / / / ^

ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHARTER
ORGANIZATION AND FUNCTIONS - COMMITTEES, BOARDS, PANELS, AND COUNCILS
ADMINISTRATOR'S TOXIC SUBSTANCES ADVISORY COMMITTEE
1. PURPOSE. The Administrator's Toxic Substances Advisory Committee
was established on January 25, 1977, to advise the Administrator,
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. This Charter is reissued to
renew the Committee in accordance with the provisions of the Federal
Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. (App. I) 9(c).
2. AUTHORITY. It is determined that establishment of the Administra-
tor's Toxic Substances Advisory Committee is in the public interest
in connection with the performance of the Agency's duties and responsi-
bilities under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), 15 U.S.C. 2601.
3. OBJECTIVE AND SCOPE OF ACTIVITY. The Committee advises, consults
with, and makes recommendations to the Administrator on policy,
technical, and procedural matters relating to the environmental,
economic, and social aspects of implementation of the TSCA. To the
extent that scientific advice is needed, the Administrator's Toxic
Substances Advisory Committee will generally defer to the Science
Advisory Board, unless that Board decides not to consider a particular
question.
4. FUNCTIONS. This Committee was established to advise, consult
with, and make recommendations to the Administrator, EPA, on policy/
technical, and procedural matters related to the environmental,
economic, and social impacts of actions considered under the TSCA and
of particular interest to the Administrator. The Committee will
consider and comment on proposals for rules and regulations, and will
assess the likely impacts of such rules and regulations should they
be promulgated. The Committee may recommend studies to EPA and may
raise other issues relevant to implementing the TSCA.
5. COMPOSITION. The Committee consists of 16 members, including the
Chairman, who will represent the following segments of the population
in appropriate balance:
a. Manufacturers, processors, and users of chemical substances;
b. Environmental, health, and public interest organizations; and
c. Other interested parties including, but not limited to, labor
organizations, professional societies, and State and local
interests.
Initiated by: PM-213

of the Committee is approximately $75,000, which includes 1.0 man-
years of staff support. The Office of Toxic Substances will provide
the necessary support for the Committee.
6. MEETINGS. Meetings will be held from three to six times a year,
at the call of the Chairman and approved by the designated Federal
official, with an agenda approved by such person. The provisions of
section 10 of the Federal Advisory Committee Act are applicable to
all such meetings. Subcommittee meetings will be held as needed,
subject to the same statutory provisions.
7. DURATION. The Administrator's Toxic Substances Advisory Committee
will terminate at such time as the Administrator determines that
implementation of the TSCA would no longer benefit from such advice.
Extension of the Committee beyond two years after effective date of
this Charter may be sought in accordance with section 14 of the
Federal Advisory Committee Act.
8. SUPERSESSION. The former charter for the Administrator's Toxic
Substances Advisory Committee signed on January 25, 197J), is hereby

ADMINISTRATOR'S TOXIC SUBSTANCES ADVISORY COMMITTEE
1980 ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The Administrator's Toxic Substances Advisory Committee (ATSAC) presented
formal reccmnendations to the Administrator in the form of resolutions adopted
at the July meeting. These were also sent to the various Congressional
committees having oversight responsibilities for TSCA. They were: 1) that
EPA should prepare guidance for development of safety data on new chemicals;
2) that more should be done — and a mechanism developed — to consistently
share information with the States; and 3) that EPA should publish specific
generic information to follow up when the initial information submitted with
a pre-manufacturing notice is inadequate, and that EPA should give prompt
notice when a manufacturer follows up the original submission with additional
information on a new chemical under review. The Assistant Administrator,
responding for Mr. Costle, agreed generally with the three suggestions and
outlined steps being taken toward carrying them out insofar as possible with
the resources available.
The Committee also expressed its concern, to the Congress as well as to
the Administrator, that availability of non-Federal funds should not determine
the opportunities for all parties at interest to participate in governmental
dec is ion-maki ng.
A "Pour-Year Report on the Implementation of the Toxic Substances Control
Act" was presented to the Administrator in November. The report expressed
ATSAC1s collective judgment on some of the. many different facets of the
regulatory program developing under TSCA. In general the Committee supports
and encourages the efforts made by the Office of Pesticides and Toxic
Substances (OPTS) to implement this complex legislation. The ATSAC in its
report, however, as in its resolutions, urged that the time taken to
implement the testing rules and the process for initiating either a test
rule or a decision not to test be shortened. In response, OPTS stated its
expectation that the time called for would be reduced considerably in the
future.
In response to another ATSAC recommendation, OPTS has reported that it
is giving high priority to development of testing guidance to be provided
to manufacturers of new chemicals consistent with those adopted by the
Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, and that a strategy
to follow up on chemicals now in commerce is being implemented.
Another ATSAC complirrent made earlier and repeated in the Report
related to the compilation of the chemicals inventory. The Committee urged,
though, that the information obtained under the "substantial risk" provisions
be made more readily available to public, State, labor and other interest
groups and that, with due regard for confidentiality of trade secrets, it
be sufficiently specific to be meaningful. OPTS has reported that in response
to these recommendations of ATSAC and several other organizations, it is
expanding its efforts.
The Committee has enjoyed generous cooperation frcm the OPTS staff and
has been kept informed in considerable detail on problems and progress
accompanying each of the major issues of toxic substances control. ATSAC
study groups have considered issues relating to testing, pre-manufacture
notices, information gathering and sharing, international cooperation and
coordination, and public participation.

CLEAN AIR SCIENTIFIC ADVISORY COMMITTEE
1980 ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee has completed its review
of air quality criteria for ambient hydrocarbons as required by the Clean
Air Act. The Committee concluded that the hydrocarbon document fulfills
criteria set forth in Section 108 of the Clean Air Act and is scientifically
adequate for standard setting.
CASAC reviewed the first external review draft of the air quality
criteria document for sulfur oxide/particulate matter (SOx/PM). The Committee
provided major recommendations for revision of the criteria document. This
document will be resubmitted for CASAC review in the Spring of 1981.
CASAC recommended to the Administrator that EPA prepare a scientific
document that can recognize and incorporate the new information on causes,
effects and data bases for all of the various pollutants relevant to acidic
deposition. The Administrator has responded with full concurrence.
The Committee completed its review of the air quality criteria document
and staff paper for carbon monoxide. In a letter to the Administrator dated
October 9, 1979, the Committee has affirmed that the criteria document
fulfills Section 108 of the Clean Air Act and is scientifically adequate for
use in standard setting. The Agency has subsequently proposed a revised
ambient carbon monoxide standard on August 18, 1980.
CASAC has completed a second review of the air quality criteria
document for nitrogen oxides. The Committee has reported that NOx criteria
document is scientifically adequate for standard setting.

MANAGEMENT ADVISORY GROUP TO THE MUNICIPAL CONSTRUCTION DIVISION
1980 ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The major accomplishments of the Management Advisory Group (MAG) in the
calendar year 1980 were in two areas that affect the overall viability of the
construction grants program of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for
improving the quality of the Nation's waters: (1) An Action Program for the
1980's, and (2) Streamlining the Construction Grants Program.
In the first area of an action program, at the December 1980 MAG meeting,
a workshop composed of MAG members was held to make major contributions to the
development of the 1990 Construction Grants Strategy. The Strategy is a five-
fold approach to establish a program for achieving the most pollution abatement
at the lowest cost during the 1980's. The Strategy is divided into five sectors
that interlink and interact: (1) Funding Strategy to determine the funds that
will be needed and priority factors by which to apply limited resources (2)
Management Strategy including the utmost decentralization to the States; (3)
Operations Strategy leading to the construction of the most effective treatment
works in the shortest time period; (4) Compliance Strategy that will ensure
that municipalities operate their treatment works to meet required standards;
and (5) Planning Strategy to establish water quality standards that are
practical, realistic, and cost effective.
In the strategy workshop, MAG produced a series of major points that need
to be included in the Strategy, and also prepared an analysis of the themes
that need to be pursued to make the program successful. The resultant report
has become a major input into the 1990 Construction Grants Strategy which will
be discussed at public meetings in February and March 1981.
In the second area of program streamlining, MAG, during calendar 1980,
finalized an analysis of a series of 40 legislative and procedural recommenda-
tions made by the Association of State and Interstate Water Pollution Control
Administrators (ASIWPCA) for making the EPA water quality program better able
to reach its goal of clean waters. Most of the recommendations concerned the
construction grants area.
MAG concentrated on analyzing the recommendations and providing advice to
EPA on developing positive responses to the recommendations. The result was
that EPA's report on the recommendations was highly constructive, and most of
the recommendations were put into effect in an extraordinarily short time.
ASIWPCA favorably reacted to the EPA report, and expressed its appreciation
for EPA's short implementation time. EPA and the States thereby were facili-
tated in becoming true partners in cleaning up the Nation's waters.

NATIONAL AIR POLLUTION CONTROL TECHNIQUES ADVISORY COMMITTEE
1980 ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The National Air Pollution Control Techniques Advisory Committee (NAPCTAC) held six
meetings in 1980 to review projects under way in the development of new source performance
standards (NSPS) for stationary sources and national emission standards for hazardous air
pollutants (NESHAP), and to advise on other activities being conducted by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency in support of the regulatory requirements of the Clean
Air Act, as amended.
At the February meeting, the Committee heard presentations on retrofit guidelines for
coal-fired power plants; proposed NSPS for surface coating of metal furniture, for particulate
emissions from electric arc furnaces in ferrous foundries, and for particulate emissions from
the sodium carbonate industry; and control techniques for sulfur oxide emissions from
stationary sources.
In April, the Committee reviewed the projects for NSPS for volatile organic chemical
fugitive emissions from the synthetic organic chemical manufacturing industry and NESHAP for
benzene fugitive emissions and for benzene emissions from benzene storage tanks.
All of the projects discussed at the June meeting were for NSPS to control volatile
organic compound emissions. The facilities discussed were beverage can surface coating
operations, the coil coating industry, the appliance coating industry, and bulk gasoline
terminals.
At the July meeting, attention was focused on NSPS for industrial boilers. Because of
the magnitude of the project and the potential cost of standards to American industry,
description of EPA's effort was divided into six presentations: (1) industry background,
control technology, and emission tests results; (2) analysis of "model" boilers for
environmental, energy, and cost impacts; (3) a regulatory analysis describing the industrial
fuel choice analysis model; (4) a regulatory impact analysis of the environmental, energy,
and cost impacts; (5) a regulatory impact analysis of the economic impacts; and (6) a
discussion of the regulatory issues.
Coke oven emissions from by-product coke oven charging, door leaks, and topside leaks
on wet-coal-charged batteries were discussed in terms of NESHAP at the August meeting.
Particulate emissions from coke oven battery stacks were discussed as the subject of possible
NSPS. Forthcoming EPA publications covering control techniques for particulate emissions
from stationary sources were reviewed and received favorably by the Committee.
The agenda for the December meeting included NSPS for rubber tire manufacturing and
storage of volatile organic liquids, and a review of the existing standards for basic
oxygen process furnaces.
Interest in the NAPCTAC activities increased considerably in 1980. The accelerated
schedule of meetings and a more intense interest in standards of performance nationally
resulted in a marked increase in participation and attendance. Participants, including
Committee members, EPA staff, and private-sector representatives, rose to an average of
160 persons per meeting.
In addition to EPA presentations to NAPCTAC, representatives of commercial, industrial,
governmental, and environmental interests gave 68 presentations before the Committee during
the year and provided 57 additional pieces of testimony and evidence through correspondence
submitted for the record and incorporation in the minutes of the meetings.
The NAPCTAC has grown in stature commensurate with its additional activity. The NAPCTAC
review and the associated participation of industries potentially affected by standards of
performance has evolved into one of the most important events in the development of Federal
air pollution control regulations.

1980 Accomplishments
Ground-Water Protection
The Council heard about ground-water quality problems in
many states — local groups try to deal with local problems and
have to compete for scarce state resources to quantify the
extent of the problem and develop plans to resolve the situation,
regional organizations try to handle interstate water quality
issues and state Agencies have responsibility for problems which
have not been dealt with nationally.
As part of the drinking water program, the Environmental
Protection Agency has developed regulations to control under-
ground injection which could endanger underground sources of
drinking water. The Council has reviewed and commented on
proposed regulations a number of times during the last four years;
the Underground Injection Control Regulations were promulgated in
June, 1980. As a preliminary to the last meeting of the year,
the Council toured oil, gas and uranium production areas in
New Mexico to determine, first hand, the impact of the final UIC
program on the operations and to talk with the State Officials
who are responsible for implementing and operating the programs.
The Office of Drinking Water has, during the past year,
developed a Proposed Ground Water Protection Strategy which will
provide a consistent approach to ground-water protection nationally-
The Council was involved in workshops which developed the basic
goals and management objectives of the Proposed Strategy. The
Council is reviewing the Proposed Strategy and will provide their
comments to the Agency.
Compliance with the National Interim
Primary Drinking Water Regulations
The National Interim Primary Drinking Water Regulations require
public water systems to monitor the quality of the water that they
provide to the public and to report the analytical results of the
monitoring to the appropriate agencies. The data show that many
public water systems are not complying with the quality standards of
the NIPDWR. The bulk of the noncompliance is occuring in small
systems, particularly those systems which serve less than 2,500
people. The Council reviewed the compliance situation and
recommended that the Agency draft a strategy for attaining compliance
in the small systems. There were a number of different problems to
be addressed in the Strategy. The states have very limited resources
for providing technical assistance or operator training and taking
enforcement actions against the large number of small, non-compliant
systems. Also, many of the small systems have limited financial
capability and, therefore, have great difficulty in making major
investments in treatment facilities. The Council has reviewed the
Proposed Small System Strategy and suggested that organizations such
as the National Rural Water Association and groups which represent
municipal officials and private system operators be involved in
the training and information programs which are developed to
improve the knowledge and understanding of the program requirements.

UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHARTER
ORGANIZATION AND FUNCTIONS - COMMITTEES, BOARDS, PANELS, AND COUNCILS
SCIENCE ADVISORY BOARD
1. PURPOSE AND BACKGROUND. This Charter is reissued for the Science
Advisory Board in accordance with the requirements of the Federal Advisory
Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. (App. I) 9(c). The former Science Advisory Board
was administratively established by the Administrator of EPA on January 11,
1974. It 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.
2. SCOPE OF ACTIVITY. The activities of the Board will include analyzing
problems, conducting meetings, making recommendations, using consultants,
forming study groups, and other activities necessary for the attainment
of the Board's objectives.
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. The Board reports to the
Administrator. It will review issues, provide independent advice on EPA's
major programs, and will perform special assignments as requested by the
Agency and as required by the Environmental Research, Development, and
Demonstration Authorization Act of 1978 and the Clean Air Act Amendments
of 1977. Responsibilities include the following:
- Reviewing and commenting on the five-year plan for environmental
research, development and demonstration;
- As the Board deems necessary, reviewing and commenting on the
adequacy of the scientific basis of any criteria document, standard,
limitation or regulation that the Agency proposes;
- Consulting with the Administrator as to the ability and feasibility
of establishing a separate national laboratory to execute the
Agency's long range environmental research program;
- Reviewing and advising on the criteria for national primary and
secondary air quality standards;
Initiated by PM-213

ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHARTER
- Recommending, as appropriate, new or revised national air quality
criteria standards;
- Advising on new information needs and research programs for air
quality criteria;
- Reviewing and advising on Agency programs;
- Advising on the relative importance of various air pollution sources;
- Reviewing the Agency's strategies for national air quality
standards and advising on any adverse effects of these standards; and
- Consulting and coordinating with the Scientific Advisory Panel
established by the Administrator pursuant to section 25(d) of the
Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act, as amended.
A. COMPOSITION. The Board will consist of a body of independent scientists
and engineers of sufficient size and diversity to provide the range of
expertise required to assess the scientific and technical aspects of
environmental issues. The Board will be organized into an executive
committee and several specialized committees, all members of which shall
be drawn from the Board.
The Administrator will appoint an Executive Committee from the Board's
membership to represent the Board, to coordinate and direct the assignments
and activities of the membership, to meet periodically with the Administrator
to discuss scientific issues and to provide scientific advice.
The Board is authorized to constitute such member committees and
investigative panels as the Administrator and the Board find necessary to
carry out its duties. The Administrator, in consultation with the
Executive Committee, will establish from the Board's membership the
specialized committees (standing or ad hoc) that he deems necessary to
direct the appropriate combination of scientific and technical skills of
the membership toward continuing or special environmental issues. The
Administrator will review the need for such specialized committees at
least once a year to decide which should be continued. Each specialized
committee, in its assigned area of expertise, will provide advice on the
scientific aspects of environmental issues and problems. The specialized
committees will report through the Chairman of the Executive Committee.
The following specialized standing committees of the Board are hereby
constituted from the five separately chartered committees of the former
Board and are subject to the Administrator's review:

-------
ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHARTER
Ecology Committee
Environmental Health Committee
Environmental Measurements Committee
Environmental Pollutant Movement and Transformation Committee
Technology Assessment and Pollution Control Committee
In addition, the Administrator 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 become members of the Science Advisory Board.
5. MEMBERSHIP AND MEETINGS. The Administrator appoints individuals to
serve on the Science Advisory Board for staggered terms of one to four
years and appoints from the membership a Chairman of the Board and chairmen
for the respective specialized committees. The Chairman of the Board
serves as Chairman of the Executive Committee. Chairmen of standing or
ad hoc specialized committees serve as members of the Executive Committee
during the life of the specialized committee. 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 fulltime employee of the Federal
Government.
The Executive Committee will meet approximately four times per year.
There will be approximately 28 meetings of specialized committees per
year.
Support for the Board's activities will be furnished by the Office
of the Administrator, EPA. The annual operating cost will be approximately
$850,000 and 15 man-years.
6. DURATION. The Board shall be needed on a continuing basis. This
Charter will be effective until November 8, 1981, 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 January 6, 1978, is hereby superseded.

SCIENCE ADVISORY BOARD
1980 ACCOMPLISHMENTS
0 The report, "Water Quality Criteria for the Protection of Aquatic Life and Human
Health," (April 1980) was completed by the Water Quality Criteria Subconmittee,
and subsequently transmitted to the Administrator. This report was prepared in
response to the Administrator's request that the Science Advisory Board review
the proposed criteria and the methodologies by which they were derived for the 65
priority pollutants specified by the Consent Decree.
0 The Subcommittee on Energy-Related Health Effects Research continued to assist
the Agency in efforts to redirect certain portions of the Energy-Related Health
Effects Research Program in order to make the program more responsive to specified
needs and objectives of several of EPA's regulatory programs (Air, Toxic Substances,
Drinking Water, Solid Waste). The portions of the Energy-Related Health Research
Program reviewed were: Theme 1, Health Effects of Criteria and Non-Criteria
Pollutants from Fossil Fuel Combustion and Theme 2, Development and Validation of
Bioassay Screens and Predictor Test Protocols for Energy-Related Waste Streams and
Agents.
0 The Subcommittee on Health Risk Assessment assisted EPA's Office of Air Quality
Planning and Standards by reviewing and commenting on several specific approaches
to Health Risk Assessment for Alternative Air Quality Standards suggested by
outside EPA research groups involved, under contracts with EPA, in developing
suitable methodology.
0 In response to a request, the report, "Goals of and Criteria for Design of a
Biological Monitoring System," (January 1980), was completed by the Ecology
Committee and transmitted to the Administrator.
0 At the request of the Administrator a Subcommittee of the Science Advisory Board
was formed to review the "state-of-the-art" of economic analysis as done by the
Agency. That Subcommittee completed its review and submitted a report which
addressed the issues of what resources EPA is devoting to economic analysis, what
steps the Agency should take to improve the analysis of the benefits of its
regulations, and EPA's research and analytical efforts on the costs of regulatory
measures.
0 At the request of the Assistant Administrator for Research and Development, the
Science Advisory Board judged the 1980 EPA Scientific and Technological Achievement
Awards and forwarded nominations.
A review of the Agency's Fundamental Combustion Research Program was completed
and a report on the program published.
0 A Task Group of the Science Advisory Board was charged by the Administrator to
review and assist in the development of the Sampling Protocols for the monitoring
program conducted by the Agency for the love Canal Declaration Area.
0 A report was prepared by the Technology Assessment and Pollution Control Committee
on the "U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Research Related to Control Technology
for Toxic and Hazardous Wastes."
39
0
-------
0 The Agency's Research Outlook FY'80-84 has been reviewed and the Science Advisory
Board's comments were forwarded to the Administrator and to the Congress.
0 A full review of the Agency's Environmental Monitoring System Laboratories was
performed by the Environmental Measurements Committee. Recommendations on
Scientific and managerial practices were made to the laboratories.
0 A Task Group of the Environmental Measurements Committee studied the collection,
storage and retrieval of monitoring data in the Agency, and recommended the
implementation of an Agency-wide information management policy.
0 A subcommittee of the Environmental Health Committee completed its review of the
Inhalation Toxicology Program of EPA's Office of Research and Development and
issued its report.
0 The Toxic Substances Subcommittee reviewed and commented on the first test rules
package developed by EPA's Office of Toxic Substances under section 4 of the
Toxic Substances Control Act and the "Technical Support Document for Regulatory
Action [TSCA: Section 6(a)] Against Friable Asbestos-Containing Materials in
School Buildings".
0 In response to a request from the Assistant Administrator for Research and
Development, the Ecology Committee reviewed the "National Crop Loss Assessment
Network Research Plan," March 1980. A commentary on the Plan, approved by the
Committee, was forwarded to the Assistant Administrator for Research and Development.
0 A report prepared by the Ecology Committee representatives attending the Pesticide
Research Program Review was approved by the Ecology Committee and forwarded to
the Assistant Administrator for Research and Development.
° The Executive Committee recommended to the Administrator that an agency-wide
policy of review and approval of sensitive scientific studies be initiated
throughout the Agency to avoid impeding the flow of scientific information to the
public and the general scientific community.
0 The Subcommittee on Airborne Carcinogens has reviewed cancer risk assessments and
exposure assessments for six major chemicals. These include: acrylonitrile,
toluene, perchloroethylene, trichloroethylene, methylene chloride, methyl
chloroform. The latter four will be resubmitted to the subcommittee for review.
Each of these chemicals was originally viewed by EPA as suspected carcinogenic
agents. The Subcommittee, in providing advice to the Agency on the strengths and
weaknesses of the scientific data base, has enhanced the ability of the Agency to
determine the degree of hazard posed by exposure to airborne chemicals.
0 The Subcommittee on Innovative/Alternative Wastewater has reported on management
problems for administering an innovative/alternative waste treatment grant, and
it is currently advising the Administrator on methods for encouraging innovative
solutions to waste treatment.
