THE ADMINISTRATOR
A bronze plaque in the West Tower lobby of the Environmental
Protection Agency's building describes EPA's mission: to protect
the public from environmental hazards, enhance the quality of our
natural environment, and expand our knowledge of the environment.
In the 20 years since EPA was founded, that mission has
steadily grown, both in complexity and in importance. So, too,
the Agency's dependence on expert scientific and technical advice
has grown. I believe that EPA in the 1990's, even more than in
previous decades, will depend on good science.
The importance of science at EPA also enhances the stature
of the men and women on EPA's advisory committees. EPA cannot
accomplish its mission without our advisory committees. In
addition to drawing upon the talents and commitments of EPA's own
scientists, we also depend upon independent advisory committees
for expert advice, for independent perspectives, for outreach to
the scientific community, and — ultimately ~ for assurance that
our regulatory programs have as high a degree of credibility as
we can provide. I have relied heavily upon EPA's advisory
committees in my first year as Administrator. I sincerely
appreciate the many fine contributions of the people who have
served.
Since the publication of the 1988 EPA Advisory Committees
Charters, Rosters and Accomplishments brochure, we have added
five new advisory committees:
o the Gulf of Mexico Program Policy Review Board;
o the International Environmental Technology Transfer
Advisory Board;
o the National Advisory Council for Technology Transfer;
o the Stratospheric Ozone Protection Advisory Committee;
and
o the Volatile Organic Chemical Equipment Leak Negotiated
Rulemaking Advisory Board.
I look forward to the contributions of each of these new
groups, as well as to the continuing support of our existing
committees, as we work together to meet the environmental
challenges of the 1990s. ' """

BIOTECHNOLOGY SCIENCE ADVISORY COMMITTEE
RECENT
ACCOMPLISHMENTS : <
-During the past year, the Biotechnology Science Advisory Committee
held four Subcommittee meetings which provided advice to the Agency.
The Subcommittee on Biotechnology Health was asked to provide advice
on the major health questions associated with biotechnology, the
highest priority biotechnology health research issues for EPA and
how to structure a research program to address those issues. This
Subcommittee recommended five suggestions relative to the EPA
biotechnology program, including the need to review epidemiologic
surveillance data and that clinical studies may be needed as a
basis for test method development and evaluating health concerns.
-The Subcommittee on the Proposed Rule for TSCA reviewed the draft
proposed biotechnology rule and recommended that EPA publish in the
Federal Register the proposed rule for public comment, advocated
implementing the TERA and exempt list mechanisms and endorsed the
concept of identification of organisms formed by intergeneric
combinations of genetic material as a trigger for review of research
and development scale environmental releases. The Agency is
reviewing the Subcommittee's recommendations while proceeding with
the writing of the rule.
-The Subcommittee on Antibiotic Resistance Genes dealt with the
issue of antibiotic resistance by addressing a series of questions
dealing with the categories of antibiotic resistance transfer,
public health, ecological significance, utility and risk
considerations. The Agency is in the process of incorporating the
comments into a workable document.
-The Subcommittee on Mobile Genetic Elements (MGEs) was held to obtain
further scientific data and scientific consensus on the taxonomy of
bacterial transposons and plasmids and on the possible environmental
or health risks posed by the mobility of these MGEs which carry novel
DNA. The Subcommittee found that taxonomic classification of MGEs, a:
related to the genus of bacterium from which it was originally
isolated or in which it i§ currently found, is of little value due
to the ability of transposons and plasmids to move among different
genera of bacteria. The Agency is now currently reviewing the
Subcommittee's findings.

'ACCOMPLISHMENTS'
During 1987, the Chesapeake Executive Council formulated and signed the
1987 Chesapeake Bay Agreement. the Agreement commits to managing the
Chesapeake Bay as an integrated ecosystem and proposes a series of
objectives that will establish a policy and institutional framework for
continued cooperative efforts to restore and protect the Chesapeake Bay.
The Agreement also commits to specific actions to achieve those
objectives, and commits to an annual review of the progress toward
achieving the goals and objectives.
The Agreement commits the signatories, the Governors of the states of
Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, the Mayor of the District of Columbia,
the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency for the Federal
Government, and the Chairman of the Chesapeake Bay Commission to goals and
commitments in six major areas.

6(c)(2) of FIFRA, and
d. Regulations to be issued under Section 25(a) of FIFRA.
The Administrator shall also solicit from the Advisory 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.
15
-------
The comments, evaluations, and recommendations of the Advisory Panel
and the response of the Administrator shall be published in the
Federal Register. The Administrator also may use the Advisory
Panel to provide peer review of major scientific studies.
4. FUNCTIONS. The fundamental purpose of FIFRA is to ensure that
pesticides do not cause "unreasonable adverse effects on the environ-
ment." The term "unreasonable adverse effects on the environment" is
defined in Section 2(bb) of FIFRA as "any unreasonable risk to man or
the environment, taking into account the economic, social, and
environmental costs and benefits of the use of any pesticide."
Within the context of these provisions of FIFRA and the regulations
promulgated thereunder (40 CFR Part 162), the Panel will be expected
to comment as to the impact on health and the environment of matters
arising under Section 6(b), 6(c) and 25(a) of FIFRA. Analyses
prepared by staff of the Environmental Protection Agency will be
provided for the Panel's consideration.
The Assistant Administrator for Pesticides and Toxic Substances, or
his 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 this Act to immediately suspend the registration of any pesticide
to prevent an imminent hazard, the Administrator shall promptly
submit to the Advisory Panel action taken to suspend the registration
of such pesticide. In providing for peer review, the Administrator
also may use the Advisory Panel or appropriate experts appointed
from a current list of nominees maintained by the Panel.
The Panel's comments, if any, will be submitted in writing to the
Assistant Administrator for Pesticides and Toxic Substances, or his
designee. 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 Administrator from
twelve nominees — six nominated by the National Institutes of
Health and six by the National Science Foundation, utilizing a
system of staggered terms of two to four years. As stated in Public
Law 98-201, Section 1, "members of the panel shall be selected on the
16
-------
basis of their professional qualifications to assess the effects
of the impact of pesticides on health and the environment. To the
extent feasible to insure multidisciplinary representation, the
panel membership shall include representation from the disciplines
of toxicology, pathology, environmental biology, and related sciences,
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 Administrator from a group of 4 nominees, 2 submitted by
each of the nominating entities named in this subsection. The
Administrator may extend the term of a panel member until the new
member is appointed to fill the vacancy. If a vacancy occurs due
to resignation, or reason other than expiration of a term, the
Administrator shall appoint a member to serve during the unexpired
term utilizing the nomination process set forth in this subsection.
Should the list of nominees provided under this subsection be
unsatisfactory, the 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 membership on any other
advisory committees to a Federal department or agency or his employ-
ment 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. An officer
and/or employee of an organization producing, selling, or dis-
tributing pesticides and any other person having a substantial
financial interest (as determined by the Administrator) in such
an organization, as well as an officer or employee of an organiza-
tion representing pesticide users shall be excluded from considera-
tion as a nominee for membership on the Panel. Each nominee
selected by the Administrator before being formally appointed is
required to submit a Confidential Statement of Employment and
Financial Interests, which shall fully disclose, prior to his or
her appointment, any outside sources of financial support. The
Administrator shall require all nominees to the Panel to furnish
information concerning their professional qualifications, including
information on their educational background, employment history,
and scientific publications.
The Administrator shall publish in the Federal Register the name,
address, and professional affiliations of each nominee. The
Chairperson of the Advisory Panel, after consultation with the
Assistant Administrator for Pesticides and Toxic Substances, or his
designee may create temporary subpanels on specific projects to
assist the full Advisory Panel in expediting and preparing its
evaluations, comments, and recommendations. The chairperson of
each subpanel will be a member of the Advisory Panel.
The estimated annual operating cost of the Panel will be approxi-
mately $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.
17
-------
6. MEETINGS. The Panel will meet either at the request of the
Assistant Administrator for Pesticides and Toxic Substances, or
his designee, or at the request of the Chairperson with the
concurrence of the Assistant Administrator for Pesticides and
Toxic Substances. Panel meetings will be called, announced,
and held in accordance with the Environmental Protection Agency's
Manual on Committee Management. In compliance with FACA, the
Manual provides for open meetings of advisory committees; requires
that interested persons be permitted to file written statements
before or after meetings; and provides for oral statements by
interested persons 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.
The Assistant Administrator for Pesticides and Toxic Substances,
or his designee, will serve as Designated Federal Official and
will attend all meetings. Each meeting of the Scientific Advisory
Panel will be conducted in accordance with an agenda approved in
advance of the meeting by the Designated Federal Official. The
Designated Federal Official is authorized under the Federal Advisory
Committee Act to adjourn any meeting of the Scientific Advisory
Panel whenever such adjournment is determined to be in the public
interest. The Panel may not conduct any meeting in the absence of
the Designated Federal Official or the Designated Federal Official's
designee.
It is anticipated that the Panel will conduct approximately five
formal meetings and three subpanel meetings each year. To allow
adequate time for comprehensive review of topics, meetings will
usually last for at least two consecutive days.
7. DURATION. As provided in amendment to the FIFRA (relating to
termination) the FIFRA Scientific Advisory Panel shall be needed
on a continuing basis. However, the Charter is subject to the
renewal process upon the expiration of each successive two-year
period following the date of enactment of the Act establishing
this Panel.

INTERNATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER ADVISORY BOARD
1. PURPOSE AND AUTHORITY. The purpose of the International
Environmental Technology Transfer Advisory Board (IETTAB) is to
provide advice and counsel to the Administrator of EPA and other
concerned agencies on the transfer of environmental technology and
information to developing and centrally planned economies which
cannot afford the science and technology involved, and may need
assistance in using such environmental technology effectively. It
has been determined that the establishment of this Board is in the
public interest in response to the President's instruction to the
Administrator of EPA on July 6, 1989, to establish such a board.
The Board is being established in accordance with the provisions
of the Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. App. Section 9(c).
2. DUTIES AND SCOPE OF ACTIVITY. The Board shall advise, consult
with, and make recommendations on a continuing basis to the
Administrator, or his designee, on issues related to the
development, transfer, and utilization of environmentally related
technology and information to developing countries and centrally
planned economies. The Board shall address these issues as they
apply to both receiving and contributing countries. The Board will
provide analysis, conduct reviews, obtain relevant testimony and
information, perform studies, produce reports, make necessary
recommendations, and undertake other activities necessary to meet
its responsibilities.
3. OBJECTIVES. Developing countries and the centrally planned
economies are a rapidly growing source of national and global
pollutants. Helping these countries curtail their pollution, as
well as avoid creation of pollution, is a high priority in efforts
to provide a cleaner world environment. Better access to
appropriate environmental technologies and to the financial
resources to deploy them will be necessary to fulfill these
objectives. Particularly with respect to helping developing and
centrally planned economies avoid technology that depletes
stratospheric ozone and the emission of greenhouse gases, such
technology transfer will be important to protecting the global
environment. The Board is assigned the role of advising EPA and
other concerned agencies. The Board's goals include advising the
Agency by providing assessments of the following:
26

MANAGEMENT ADVISORY GROUP TO THE
MUNICIPAL POLLUTION CONTROL PROGRAM
RECENT
'ACCOMPLISHMENTS'
In late FY 1988, the Charter for the Management Advisory
Group (MAG) was expanded to provide a broader base of support to
the Office of Water. This increased scope required the
membership to have a broader range of experience and expertise.
A list of new nominations has been prepared and is awaiting
approval.
April 1988 MAG Resolutions on:
A. Technology Outreach as it Affects
Small Communities
B. SRF Implementation as it Affects:
1. Administrative Costs
2. Payments and Letters of Credit
3. SRF Management Manual; and
4. SRF in Perpetuity
MAG continued its advisory role on the Municipal Sector
Study which was initiated by the Administrator of EPA to examine
the cumulative financial impacts on municipalities due to EPA
requirements. MAG also continued its advisory role on the
Congressionally mandated SRF Report. MAG recognized that the
report occurs relatively early in the development and
implementation of the SRF program and recommended that EPA
encourage Congress to request a subsequent report on the progress
of the SRF program.
The MAG has been a very productive body for many years and
has proven to be a valuable resource to the Office of Water.
Although, the group was relatively inactive in FY 1989 because of
delays in appointing new members, the MAG is scheduled for full
range of activities in FY 1990, including two meetings. The MAG
will continue to provide valuable advice on a wide range of
Office of Water initiatives including pretreatment, sludge
disposal, municipal permitting and enforcement issues and
critical habitat protection.

UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHARTER
ORGANIZATION AND FUNCTIONS - COMMITTEES. BOARDS. PANELS. AND
COUNCILS
NATIONAL ADVISORY COUNCIL FOR ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGY
TRANSFER
1. PURPOSE AND AUTHORITY The purpose of the Advisory Council is to provide advice and
counsel to the Administrator of EPA on technology transfer issues associated with the management
of environmental problems. The Advisory Council is being established in accordance with the
provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. (App.I)9(c). The Advisory Council
provides independent advice and counsel to the Administrator on such specific technology transfer
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 on technology transfer; and assessing alternative approaches for measuring the
environmental benefits of technology transfer activities.
2. SCOPE OF THE ACTIVITY. The Advisory Council advises, consults with and makes
recommendations on a continuing basis to the Administrator on technology transfer 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 technology
transfer 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
35
-------
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.
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. No more than 37 experts shall comprise the
Advisory Council at any one time. 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.
4. MEMBERSHIP AND MEETTfJfift 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.
The Advisory Council meets at least twice each year. Budgetary support for the Advisory
Council is provided through the Agencywide Technology Transfer Staff. This Staff 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 $45,000, which
includes 0.25 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 TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER
The National Advisory Council for Environmental Technology Transfer (NACETT) was
established in July 1988. Its purpose is to provide independent advice and counsel to the
Administrator on the Agency's progress in implementing die environmental management
programs of the United States which it administers, and associated technology transfer programs.
NACETTs mission is to help EPA improve its implementation of environmental programs by
fostering more effective use of the financial and intellectual resources of all institutions involved
in the management of the environment NACETT is designed to promote continuing
consultation and cooperation among representatives of these institutional participants in
environmental protection and environmental management activities to ensure a shared
understanding of the differing perspectives, concerns, and needs of each.
NACETT has organized itself, identified and defined key issues, and submitted initial
recommendations to the Administrator suggesting steps that EPA should take to enhance
cooperation among the many institutions involved in achieving environmental progress in the
nation and worldwide. Consistent with its assessment of the nature of the environmental
challenges facing the nation, NACETT established five standing committees as its principal
operating arms (see attached graphic) and, to date, has submitted to the Administrator
recommendations developed by three of these committees:
• Education and Training Committee
• State and Local Programs Committee
• Technology Innovation and Economics Committee
• International Committee
• Environmental Financial Advisory Board
Each committee is comprised of NACETT members and, in some cases, non-NACETT
contributors recruited for their outstanding perspective particular to a committee's agenda.
Experts are often invited to present additional views and information. NACETT also created an
Executive Committee comprised of the NACETT chair and the chairs and co-chairs of the
standing committees. The Designated Federal Official is the Director of the Office of
Cooperative Environmental Management in die Office of die Administrator.

NATIONAL ADVISORY COUNCIL FOR
ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER
The establishment of goals and initial objectives for each of the five standing committees
was a highlight of the past year. In addition, some of the committees established subcom-mittees
and conducted other activities of note. These highlights are described below:
• The Education and Training Committee has as its goal the achievement of an
environmentally conscious and responsible public. This goal arises from the need to
raise the public's understanding of our individual and institutional options and
responsibilities for effective environmental education and training. To mis end, the
Committee has selected three major objectives:
- To heighten public sensitivity to the environmental consequences of our individual
and collective actions
- To educate our youth and train future environmental management professionals
- To aid public and private executives in making informed and responsible decisions.
The Committee held a national hearing entitled "PLANET AT RISK: CHARTING AN
ENVIRONMENTAL ETHIC," soliciting testimony and recommendations from
national and international experts on the status of environmental education and training
and how environmental education and training can have a more positive impact on
environmental quality and sustainable economic development Among the major
suggestions elicited at the hearing were a call for greater leadership by the EPA in the
education and training field and the proposal of a national environmental education and
training strategy. The Committee established subcommittees to define the potential
environmental education and training roles of public and private organizations:
Education; Business; Professional Organizations; Government, and Media.
The Committee initially recommended wide-ranging actions by the Administrator and,
more broadly, all sectors of society involved in education and the environment In
summary, these recommendations are that the Administrator:
- Request a Presidential "Call to Action" for effective environmental education and
training serving as a global model for sustainable development
- Incorporate in the Agency's mission a broad environmental education and training
manHntr.
- Create an Office of Environmental Education and Training within EPA
- Develop a strategic plan for U.S. environmental education mat addresses at least
the coordination of related governmental activities, as well as public environmental
education.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS"
NATIONAL ADVISORY COUNCIL FOR
ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER
The State and Local Programs Committee has adopted as its goal developing improved
environmental management in state and local government. To this end, the Committee
selected four broad areas of emphasis at its first meeting:
- Definition of EPA/state partnership roles
- Environmental needs-based priority setting and resource allocation procedures
- Improved local government, especially small community, environmental
management
- Improved EPA delivery of information and assistance to state and local
governments.
In summary, the Committee's initial recommendations propose that the Administrator:
- Issue a formal policy statement concerning the roles and responsibilities of EPA and
the states
- Accelerate use of environmental need-based assessments and plans to establish
annual priorities and resource allocations and for progress monitoring
- Increase emphasis on empowering local management capacity through increased
involvement in developing regulations and policies
- Implement various techniques to provide for more effective delivery of information
and assistance to local governments and states.
The Technology Innovation and Economics CITE) Committee has adopted as its goals
identifying and recommending steps that can be taken (1) to increase the development
and commercialization of innovative technologies for environmental purposes and (2) to
ensure the diffusion of existing and new innovative technologies into widespread use,
with a preference towards pollution prevention. To pursue its goals, the Committee
will examine the effectiveness of the environmental system in ensuring a suitable
climate for technological change and the adequacy of market responses to the need to
solve environmental problems. To this end, the Committee has selected five areas of
activity that track closely its analysis of the major impediments to technology innovation
for environmental purposes. These are:
- EPA's innovation programs
- Environmental permitting and compliance systems
- Liability requirements for innovative environmental technologies
- Assistance needed by technology developers
- Strategic approaches to environmental regulation.
55

RECENT
ACCOMPLISHMENTS'
NATIONAL ADVISORY COUNCIL FOR
ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER
The TIE Committee has identified major impediments of immediate concern that are
generally agreed upon by all interested communities. These are: environmental
permitting (complexity, cost, and duplication); regulatory uncertainty; and layers of
administration involved in environmental permitting (federal, state, and local). The
exercise also elicited common views about the most important remedies: simplification
of permitting, regulatory flexibility, and alternatives to best available technology based
rulemaking.
In summary, the Committee's initial recommendations are based on the central notion
that technology innovation is necessary for the achievement of environmental protection
aims. In that context, the recommendations propose that the Administrator:
- Develop for EPA a strong leadership role in fostering technology innovation for
environmental purposes, placing such technology innovation in the context of
sustainable development Actions recommended include developing an EPA policy
statement and strategy on EPA's mission to foster technology innovation
- Direct each EPA office to review and evaluate the degree to which the
implementation of its programs is effective in stimulating technology innovation and
to identify approaches required to foster technology innovation.
• The International Committee has as its goal enhancing the exchange of information and
technologies for environmental protection between the United States and other
countries, with an emphasis on pollution prevention and control. The Committee has
developed a framework for addressing cooperation with other countries to resolve
common problems, for assisting other countries to improve their environmental
programs, for learning about the environmental activities of other countries and
international organizations, and for addressing international technology transfer within
EPA and the United States.
In an early action, the International Committee identified a need to integrate the
International Register for Potentially Toxic Chemicals (IRPTC) database into U.S. and
EPA systems. It successfully initiated cooperation between EPA and IRPTC to begin
implementation of this project as a model for actively facilitating technology transfer
between countries, both developing and industrialized.

The Environmental Financial Advisory Board (EFAB) has as its goal increasing 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. The Board held its initial meeting on October 1989. The Board has
structured itself into four workgroups to address and examine the following issues:
- Public sector environmental financing options
- Tax policy barriers
- Financing strategies for small communities
- Incentives to increase private sector participation in environmental services.
At its January 1990 meeting, EFAB workgroups established directions and positions
on critical issues within the purview of each workgroup. The workgroups discussed
and analyzed various issues trying to focus on a few specific actions which they
believe the Board should recommend to the EPA Administrator. As a result of these
meetings, workgroup recommendations and supporting analyses will be fully developed
as a basis for formulating EFAB policy statements. These statements will delineate the
overall perspective, as well as the specific actions and directions, that the Board is
recommending to the EPA Administrator. Selected statements will be targeted for
phased completion during 1990.

RECENT
"ACCOMPLISHMENTS'
The National Air Pollution Control Techniques Advisory Committee
(NAPCTAC) meets periodically to assess progress in the development of new
source performance standards (NSPS) for stationary sources and national
emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP). The Committee also
reviews the development and publication of control techniques documents for
specific pollutants and control techniques guidelines for selected industries.
At its meeting of May 18 and 19, 1988, the Committee discussed the review
of the NSPS for asphalt roofing and test methods and procedures for volatile
organic compounds capture efficiency. The background information and
requlatory alternatives for: municipal solid waste landfills; treatment,
storage, and disposal facilities; perchloroethylene dry cleaning; and ethylene
oxide commercial sterilizers were also discussed. Status reports were given
to the Committee on the regulatory development for municipal waste combustion
and small steam generating units.
At its June 7, 1989, meeting the Committee discussed the source category
ranking system (a new method being developed to prioritize sources of air
toxics emissions for regulatory analysis), the draft control technology
document for industrial wastewater facilities, and the draft alternative
control technology document for solvent cleaners. The Committee was also
qiven status reports on the regulatory development for municipal waste
combustion and municipal solid waste landfills. The status on the use of
regulatory negotiation to improve the current leak detection and repair
regulations for emissions from equipment leaks was also presented.
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
requlatory issues brought before the Committee for evaluation and comment.
During the period covered by this report, the NAPCTAC received comments from

The National Drinking Hater Advisory Council held seven Beatings
during 1988 and 1989. Three of these meetings were held by conference
call, but were open to the general public. The Council reviewed, in
various stages, the following regulatory packages: (1) Proposed Lead
and Copper Primary Drinking Water Regulations; (2) Phase II - Proposed
Synthetic Organic Chemicals and Inorganic Chemicals; (3) Proposed and
Final versions of the Primacy Enforcement Responsibility under the Safe
Drinking Water Act; and (4) Proposed and Final versions of the Surface
Water Treatment Rule and the accompanying Coliform Rule.
Also, the Council was asked to make recommendations on some other
issues the Agency felt their input during the preliminary stages, would
greatly enhance the final product. These issues included: (1) Draft
Rulemaking for Primary Drinking Water Regulations for Radionuclides; (2)
Draft Rulemaking package for Phase V - Synthetic Organic Chemicals and
Inorganic Chemicals; (3) Draft options paper for the Proposed Lead and
Copper Primary Drinking Water Regulations, including a Maximum
Contaminant Level at the consumer's tap and mandatory lead pipe
replacement; (4) A Guidance Manual for the Final Surface Water Treatment
Rule; (5) Wellhead Protection Programs; (6) Ground Water Classification
Guidelines; (7) Class V Shallow Wells Strategy under the Underground
Injection Control Program; (8) Consolidated Monitoring for requirements
under the Safe Drinking Water Act; and (9) Draft Rulemaking for
Disinfection/Disinfection By-Products.
During the past two years, the Council visited sites that would
enhance their understanding of implementation issues facing both the
States and water supply systems under the Safe Drinking Water Act.
First, while in Los Angeles, California for the March 1988 meeting, the
Council toured the largest direct filtration and second largest ozone
plant in the United States. This plant serves about 3.2 million
people. This plant is state-of-the-art and financially capable of
making necessary changes to meet the new requirements under the Safe
Drinking Water Act. In contrast, during the April 1989 meeting, the
Council toured parts of rural Indiana to see firsthand the problems
facing small community water systems. Without the technical training
and funding necessary to meet the drinking water regulations, these
systems are consistently in violation and in some cases, endangering the
health of the consumers. The Council feels it is important that all
aspects of a regulation be examined before recommendations are made to
the Agency. What may seem prudent for large water supply systems, can
quickly deteriorate the viability of a small community system.

ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHAPTER
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 requirements of the Federal
Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. (App.I) 9(c). The former Science
Advisory Board, administratively established by the Administrator
of EPA on January 11, 1974, was terminated in 1978 when the Congress
created the statutorily mandated Science Advisory Board by the
Environmental Research, Development, and Demonstration Authorization
Act (ERDDAA) of 1978, 42 U.S.C. 4365. The Science Advisory Board
charter was renewed October 31, 1979; November 19, 1981; 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 to the Administrator, it may also be requested to
provide advice to the U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and
Public Works or the U.S. House Committees on Science and Technology,
Energy and Commerce, or Public Works and Transportation. The
Board will review scientific issues, provide independent scientific
and technical advice on EPA's major programs, and perform special
assignments as requested by Agency officials and as required by
the Environmental Research, Development, and Demonstration Authori-
zation Act of 1978 and the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1977.

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 reauired by the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1977.
This Committee, established by a separate charter, will be an integral

SCIENCE ADVISORY BOARD
RECENT
'ACCOMPLISHMENTS'
The Science Advisory Board (SAB) has continued an active
schedule of Independent reviews of EPA research programs and
examinations of the scientific bases of a number of the Agency's
major regulatory and policy decisions. More than fifty
public meetings were held, which will lead to the issuing of
more than 40 separate reports on topics ranging from manpower
issues in the Office of Research and Development to the
projected consequences of global warming.
The reports and their abstracts which have been issued
during the year are listed elsewhere in this report. They
represent the Board's activities in a number of areas:
a. Reviewing quality and relevance of particular regulatory
science
b. Reviewing generic regulatory-scientific approaches
c. Reviewing research programs
d. Reviewing the technical bases of various applied programs
e. Advising on infrastructural and technical management issues
f. Advising on emergency and other short-notice problems
g. Advising on broad, strategic matters
In addition to its more traditional activities, during
the past year, the SAB undertook a number of initiatives which
promise to have lasting impact on the Board and the Agency.
For example, the Board Issued its report on Future Risk,
describing a strategy for environmental research that should
guide the Agency during the 1990s. A group of more than
forty scientists and engineers contributed to this largest
SAB project to date, preparing focused reports on Sources,
Transport, and Fate; Exposure Assessment; Ecological Effects;
Health Effects; and Risk Reduction. More than 7,000 copies of
the report have been circulated to various individuals and
groups across the country. Perhaps even more significantly,
within two months of receiving the report, the Administrator
took positive action on eight of the ten specific recom-
mendations in the report. Progress is being nade on the
other recommendations as well.
78

SCIENCE ADVISORY BOARD
RECENT
"ACCOMPLISHMENTS'
The Board has initiated another major project to investi-
gate the relative risks posed in different environmental
problems. This work reviews and follows up on an earlier
Agency study of "comparative risk", entitled Unfinished
Business. The goal of this project Is to inform decision-
makers and the public about the best technical and scientific
knowledge available on the relative risks posed by different
environmental problems and the options to reduce these risks.
In the spring of 1989 the Board conducted a "self-study",
in-which the members examined the mission and functioning of
the Board as an institution. They questioned their goals,
their procedures, and their products in hopes of finding ways
to improve their service to the Agency. The resulting report
contains specific recommendations for changes which promise
to enhance their quality and effectiveness.
During the year, the Board introduced a number of improve-
ments which have increased their effectiveness and efficiency.
For example, the Board conducted some of its business, including
public meetings, via conference calls, rather than on-site
meetings. This procedure reduced time and resource commitments,
while maintaining the public's right to participate at the
site of origin of the call. Also, the Board introduced the
concept of the "consultation" in which the Agency met with a
committee of the Board in public session to brainstorm about
possible approaches to a particularly complex issue before
the Agency had committed resources to developing a position.
In this case, the issue was alternative means of disinfecting
drinking water.
These activities have led to increased communication
between the Board and the Agency at all levels. This increased
interaction should allow the Board to use its limited resources
more effectively in addressing the scientific and engineering
issues that are of the greatest importance in protecting
public health and the environment.

U.S. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHARTER
ORGANIZATION AND FUNCTIONS - COMMITTEES. BOARDS. PANELS. COUNCILS
STRATOSPHERIC OZONE PROTECTION ADVISORY COMMITTEE
1. PURPOSE AND AUTHORITY This Charter establishes the
Stratospheric Ozone Protection Advisory Committee in accordance
with requirements of the Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C.
App. §9(c).
The purpose of the Advisory Committee is to provide advice
and counsel to the Agency on policy and technical issues related
to protection of the stratospheric ozone layer. The Advisory
Committee provides independent advise and counsel to the Agency
on specific issues affecting international negotiations and
domestic implementation of the Montreal Protocol on Substances
that Deplete the Ozone Layer and related matters. The Advisory
Committee provides a mechanism for discussion and consultation of
a wide range of views and expertise concerning efforts to address
this global environmental problem.
2. SCOPE OF ACTIVITY The Advisory Committee shall provide
independent advice to the Assistant Administrator, Office of Air
and Radiation, or his designate, on potential ramifications of
issues related to the protection of the stratospheric ozone
layer. The Advisory Committee shall be consulted on policy and
technical matters related to economic, environmental and
scientific issues associated with international efforts to
protect the ozone layer. It shall also be consulted concerning
domestic regulatory issues related to the protection of the ozone
layer.
The Advisory Committee shall hold meetings, analyze issues,
conduct reviews, perform studies, produce reports, make necessary
recommendations and undertake other activities necessary to meet
its responsibilities. The global nature of the stratospheric
ozone problem and the specific technical, policy, trade and
science issues involved require the expertise of an independent
advisory committee which represents a wide range of views from
industry, government and the environmental community. The
committee provides a forum for obtaining technical information
and guidance in a timely manner as international discussions
concerning actions to protect the ozone layer progress.
80
-------
ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHARTER
3. OBJECTIVES The Advisory Committee is assigned the role of
assessing and advising EPA concerning implementation of plans to
protect the stratospheric ozone as required by the Montreal
Protocol and EPA regulations. The committee will also advise the
Agency on other matters related to protection of the ozone layer.
Responsibilities consistent with this role include advising the
Agency on the following:
- Assessment of domestic implementation of the Montreal
Protocol and its impact on industry, consumers, public health and
the env i ronment;
- Assessment of international actions in response to the
Montreal Protocol and its effect on industrialized and developing
nations;
- Consideration of U.S. trade and competitiveness in the
international market in response to changing environmental and
economic conditions;
- Assessment of technological developments and evaluation of
commercial alternatives to ozone-depleting substances; and
- Consideration of health and ecological factors that result
from limitation of substances that deplete the ozone layer.
4. COMPOSITION The Advisory Committee shall be composed of
approximately 27 members, including the Chairperson, and shall be
selected and appointed by the Deputy Administrator for two-year
terms. Members of the committee shall be selected on the basis
of their professional qualifications and diversity of
perspectives that will enable them to provide advice and guidance
to the Agency regarding implementation of the Montreal Protocol
and protection of the stratospheric ozone layer.
Advisory Committee members shall be appointed in a balanced
representation from the following sectors: industry and
business; academic and educational institutions; Federal, State
and local government agencies; non-government and environmental
groups; and international organizations. Members will be
appointed as representatives of non-Federal interest.
The Advisory Committee is authorized to form subcommittees
to consider specific matters and report back to the committee.

STRATOSPHERIC OZONE PROTECTION
ADVISORY COMMITTEE
RECENT
"ACCOMPLISHMENTS'
The Stratospheric Ozone Protection Advisory Committee,
(STOPAC) established October 1, 1989, provides advice and counsel
to the Agency on policy and technical issues associated with
domestic and international activities related to the protection
of the stratospheric ozone layer. This advice pertains to
specific issues affecting the domestic implementation of and the
international negotiations to amend the Montreal Protocol on
Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, (Montreal Protocol),
and other matters. The Montreal Protocol is scheduled to be
amended in June 1990, at meetings to be held in London, England.
The committee met twice during 1989 to focus specifically on
changes to the control measures now in Protocol. These potential
changes include the following:
o requiring a complete phase-out of fully-halogenated
chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and halons by the year 2000;
o requiring more stringent interim reductions (prior to the
year 2000) for CFCs;
o adding the chemicals carbon tetrachloride and methyl
chloroform to the Protocol, to either restrict and/or phase-out
their production by the year 2000;
o setting a date-certain phase-out for partially-halogenated
chlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), ranging anywhere from the year 2020
to 2060;
o controlling fugitive emissions of any of these substances
when they are used as feedstocks to make other chemicals;
o and, amending the Protocol's trade provisions.
The Committee provided input to EPA and the U.S. government
on each of these issues.
It is expected that the Committee will meet several times
during 1990, prior to the London meeting. It is also expected
that the committee will meet after the Protocol is amended, to
discuss the Agency's regulatory plans to implement these changes
domestically.

UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHARTER
ORGANIZATION AND FUNCTIONS COMMITTEES, BOARDS, PANELS AND COUNCILS
VOLATILE ORGANIC CHEMICAL (VOC) EQUIPMENT LEAK RULE
NEGOTIATED RULEMAKING ADVISORY COMMITTEE
1. PURPOSE. This charter establishes the VOC Equipment Leak
Advisory Committee, in accordance with the provisions of the
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 Sections 111 and
112 of the Clean Air Act (CAA), as amended.
3. OBJECTIVE AND SCOPE OF ACTIVITY. The Committee will serve as
an integral part of EPA's development of a new approach for
equipment leak regulation. It will attempt, via face-to-face
negotiations, to reach consensus on concepts and language to use
as the basis of new rules under Sections 111 and 112 of the CAA.
The negotiation will address the form of the standard and the
relationship between the standard and actual emissions. The
negotiation is not intended to address stringency.
4. FUNCTIONS. As indicated above, the Committee's function is
to assist directly in the development of a new regulatory
approach. With the participation of knowledgeable, affected
parties EPA expects to develop a more practical, protective
approach at less cost. 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:
- Chemical manufacturing industry
- Petroleum refining industry
87
-------
ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHARTER
- Other industries that handle organic chemicals in equipment
that includes valves, pumps, compressors, flanges, relief
valves or open-ended lines
- Environmental and/or public interest groups
- State and local air pollution control agencies
- Manufacturers of pumps and valves
- Other interested and affected parties
Appropriate members shall be selected and appointed for the
duration of the negotiation itself. A full-time salaried
official or regular employee of the Agency will serve as the
Designated Federal Official and will be present at all meetings.
The Designated Federal Official is authorized to adjourn any
meeting whenever it is determined to be in the public interest to
do so. The Committee is authorized to form workgroups for any
purpose consistent with this Charter. Such workgroups shall
report back to the full Committee. Workgroups have no authority
to make decisions on behalf of the full Committee nor can they
report directly to the Agency.
EPA will not compensate members for their service, though it may
pay travel and per diem expenses when necessary and appropriate.
The Committee's estimated annual operating cost is approximately
$60,000, 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
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.
88
-------
ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHARTER
7. DURATION. The Committee will terminate by April 30, 1990,
unless the Deputy Administrator determines that the Committee
will finish its work within 30 days of the original termination
date. If the Deputy Administrator makes such a determination, he
can extend the termination date by 30 days without further
consultation with GSA. In the event more time is needed, EPA may
seek an extension under Section 14 of FACA.

SUMMARIES OF FY89 SAB REPORTS
001 Under Section 109 of the Clean Air Act, the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is required to periodically
review national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) and the
criteria on which they are based. The Act also requires the
scientific advice on any additional knowledge that is required to
evaluate existing, or setting new or revised NAAQS. To evaluate
the health effects of the class of air pollutants known as acid
aerosols, the Committee requested that EPA prepare an "Acid
Aerosol Issue Paper". This Issue Paper was reviewed by the Acid
Aerosol Subcommittee of CASAC in June 1988. This report presents
the conclusions and recommendations of that Subcommittee as
transmitted to the CASAC.
002 Under Section 109 of the Clean Air Act, the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is required to
periodicially review national ambient air quality standards
(NAAQS) and the criteria on which they are based. The Act also
requires the Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC) to
provide scientific advice on any additional knowledge that is
required to evaluate existing, or setting new or revised NAAQS.
To evaluate the health effects of the class of air pollutants
known as acid aerosols, the Committee requested that EPA prepare
an "Acid Aerosol Issue Paper". In reviewing this Issue Paper,
the Committee developed a series of research recommendations for
acid aerosols, prioritizing them as high, medium, and low. This
report presents these research recommendations in four parts: 1)
characterizing and exposure, 2) animal toxicology, 3) human
exposure, and 4) epidemiology.
003 The Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Radiation
Programs described its plans to update the technical basis
supporting the National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAP) for radionuclides. Plans relating to sources
of radionuclides in the environment, transport modeling,
exposure, sensitivity analysis, and uncertainty analysis were
described in a series of briefings at public meetings and
documents including Radionuclides, Background Information
Document for Final Rules (1984) and two memoranda from the
Director of the Office of Radiation Programs "Radiation Risk
Assessment Methodology" May 23, 1988 and "Review of Clean Air Act
Risk Assessments by Radiation Advisory Committee," June 21, 1988.
The Sources and Transport Subcommittee of the Science
Advisory Board's Radiation Advisory Committee reviewed these
plans. Major findings and recommendations were made regarding
the state-of-the-art of the transport model (AIRDOS-EPA),
uncertainty and sensitivity analysis, model validation, and the
use of best estimates in risk assessment. The Subcommittee found
that portions of the AIRDOS-EPA methodology are no longer
109
-------
SUMMARIES OF FY89 SAB REPORTS
state-of-the-art, nor are they completely defensible from a
scientific viewpoint because important advances in modeling
radionuclide transport have not been incorporated. Because
treatment of modeling uncertainties in radiation risk assessment
by the Office of Radiation Programs has not been quantitative or
rigorous, the assessments cannot be scientifically evaluated.
The Subcommittee recommended that best estimates with appropriate
uncertainty statements should be used in all risk assessments.
The "best" estimate should be statistically defined, according to
the target population or individual and the shape of the
uncertainty distribution.
004 On July 14-15, 1988 the Science Advisory Board's
Environmental Health Committee met to review issues relating to
the health assessment document for thyroid follicular cell
carcinoma. The general overall conslusion of the Committee was
that the document was well thought out and articulated clearly
the importance of thyroid follicular cell carcinoma. The major
recommendations of the Committee included the addition of
illustrative case studies, the provision of more detailed
discussion of the mechanism involved in each of the stages from
hormone imbalance through hyperplasia and the elucidation of the
methods and approaches to be used to define thresholds.
00 On July 14-15, 1988 the Science Advisory Board's Environmental
Health Committee met to review the proposed guidelines for male and
female reproductivity. The major recommendations of the Committee
included: combining the guidelines for male and female
reproductivity into one guideline, including illustrative examples
to support the proposed guidelines, expand the weight-of-evidence
section to give more detail concerning the relative importance of
different endpoints and investigating dose-response models that may
be useful additions to the threshold no-observed level approach.
006 The Drinking Water Subcommittee of the Science Advisory
Board's Environmental Health Committee met June 2-3, 1988 to
review the procedure for determining what an adequate tap sample
is for determining the drinking water concentration of lead. The
major recommendations of the Subcommittee included basing
compliance sampling upon random sampling at customer taps before
requiring that the utility demonstrate optimal corrosion
treatment; providing better justification for the definition of
the worst case; and providing better documentation of the
relevance of the two-stage sampling plan.

007 The Drinking Water Subcommittee of the Science Advisory
Board's Environmental Health Committee met June 2-3, 1988 to
review issues relating to the treatment technology involved in
the proposed phase II regulations from the Office of Drinking
Water. Among its recommendations, the Subcommittee urged the
Agency to speak in terms of field testing new types of treatment
techniques, rather than classes of compounds or contaminants.
The Subcommittee felt that priority in field testing should go to
those technologies which are likely to be most widely used. Once
a technology is well understood, the field testing can be
specified as Best Available Technology (BAT) for a new
contaminant through the use of process models, physical and
chemical data, and appropriate bench and/or pilot testing.
008 On July 14-15, 1988 the Science Advisory Board's
Environmental Health Committee met to review issues relating to
the health assessment document for phosgene. The Committee
concluded that the available data for assessing the health
effects of intermittent or chronic exposure to low concentrations
of phosgene are inadequate. They recommend that to help identify
data gaps, a table be prepared comparing the health effects of
ozone. The Committee also recommended inclusion of actual
environmental exposure data to provide a better measure of the
potential hazard when chronic exposure effects are considered.
009 Under Section 109 of the Clean Air Act, the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is required to periodically
review natonal ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) and the
criteria on which they are based. The Act also requires the
Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC) to provide
scientific advice on any additional knowledge that is required to
evaluate existing, or setting new or revised NAAQS. To evaluate
the health effects of the class of air pollutants known as acid
aerosols, the Committee requested that EPA prepare an "Acid
Aerosol Issue Paper". This Issue Paper was reviewed by the Acid
Aerosol Subcommittee of CASAC on June 1988. In October 1988, the
Issue Paper, and the Subcommittee'a two reports (Acid Aerosol
Research Needs, and Report on the Acid Aerosol Issue Paper) we
reviewed by the CASAC. This report presents the conclusions and
recommendations of the CASAC on the potential health effects of
acid aerosols. Included as an enclosure, is the Acid Aerosol
Subcommittee report to the CASAC (Science Advisory Board Report

010 Under the provisions of Title IV of the Superfund Amendments
and Reauthorization Act of 1987 (P.L. 99-499), the Science
Advisory Board of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has
established the Indoor Air Quality/Total Human Exposure Committee
(IAQTHE) to review the Agency's Indoor Air Quality Implementation
Plan and to provide continuing advice to the Administrator on
indoor air issues. This is the Committee's first report,
reflecting its views on the Implementation Plan forwarded to the
Congress in 1987. The Committee's major recommendations include
the need for: criteria for establishing research priorities; a
full-time Director with expertise, authority, and direction to
set-up an adequate program; adequate funding to support an
effective indoor air quality program; coordination of research
with other agencies; increasing the role of research on the sick
building syndrome and building related illnesses; more emphasis
on strategic planning to address both long and short term goals;
and wide dissemination of EPA's research findings.
011 The Drinking Water Subcommittee of the Science Advisory
Board's Environmental Health Committee met June 2-3, 1988 to
review issues relating to the treatment technology involved in
the proposed phase II regulations from the Office of Drinking
Water. Among its recommendations, the Subcommittee urged the
Agency to speak in terms of field testing new types of treatment
techniques, rather than classes of compounds or contaminants.
The Subcommittee felt that priority in field testing should go to
those technologies which are likely to be most widely used. Once
a technology is well understood, the field testing can be
specified as Best Available Technology (BAT) for a new
contaminant through the use of process models, physical and
chemical data, and appropriate bench and/or pilot testing.
012 The Environmental Engineering Committee (EEC) of the Science
Advisory Board (SAB) has prepared a resolution on the use of
mathematical modeling for regulatory assessment and
decision-making. The main points that are addressed in the
resolution are as follows: 1)There should be a better balance
between laboratory and field data collection; 2) Models should be
developed and used which incorporate state-of-the art scientific
understanding of the processes involved; 3) There should be
better confirmation of models with laboratory and field data; 4)
Sensitivity and uncertainty analysis should be conducted; 5) An
Agency-wide task-group should be formed to assess and guide model
use by EPA; 6) EPA should hire and support engineers and
scientists with modeling skills, 7) Model use needs systematic
management at EPA; and 8) Peer review of models should be
conducted at various levels.

SUMMARIES OF FY89 SAB REPORTS
013 The Agency's Office of Research and Development (ORD) , in
following the recommendations outlined in the SAB's Future Risk
report, has taken great strides in restructuring and redefining
the basis aproach to and conduct of environmental research at
EPA. The RSAC applauds these efforts and encourages even
broader, bolder strokes that will address fundamental changes in
the way in which the entire Agency, the Federal government, and
the national perceives and reacts to enviromental problems. The
effort should be viewed in the context of an overarching goal of
risk reduction, which includes anticipating future problems, as
well as reacting to current problems, and enlisting the
contributions of the social sciences, as well as utilizing the
resources of the traditional environmental sciences and
engineering. The emerging challenges, on a national and global
scale, demand no less.
014 The Fiscal Year 1990 Environmental Protection Agency's
research program budget provides total funding of $421.5 million,
and 1,873 workyears, increases of $33.6 million and 21 workyears
respectively. The Science Advisory Board's Research and
Development Budget Review Subcommittee found encouraging evidence
that the Agency recognizes the need for longer term research on
fundamental environmental processes and the need to address
infrastructure problems. The increase of $33.6 million falls far
short of the amount needed. Many programs and issues suffer for
lack of support. High impact, critical topics such as air
toxics, sludge management, and wetlands decline in support, or at
best, receive only modest increases. The resources allocated to
maintain and improve the research program infrastructure do
indeed constitute recognition of a serious problem, but they are
far too small to achieve the needed rate of replenishing the
existing inventory of obsolescent equipment.
015 The Science Advisory Board's 1988 Scientific and
Technological Achievement Awards Subcommittee has "sponaed to

016 This report presents the views of the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency's Science Advisory Board on its review of the
EPA's report to Congress entitled "Potential Effects of Global
Climate Change on the U.S.". The Board regards the request by
Congress for the EPA to prepare an initial assessment of the
potential effects of global climate change as reasonable and
timely. This Effects Report examines a set of scenarios that are
intended to represent possibilities for future climate change.
By examining the consequences associated with these scenarios,
the EPA has attempted to explore a wide range of potential
impacts from the climate alteration on both a national and a
regional basis. In the Subcommittee's judgment the usefulness of
this effort is in providing a first iteration - a point of
departure for additional research on these issues and for
beginning a planning process by the Federal Government. The
Board commends the Agency for a good initial effort on the
difficult process of translating the science into a beginning of
an environmental assessment. The Effects Report meets the goal
of summarizing available information into an overview of how
global climate alteration could affect the U.S. As far as the
Subcommittee is aware, it is the first major national effects
study of its kind.
017 The Radon Measurement Proficiency Program (RMPP) of the
Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Radiation Programs
was reviewed by the SAB's Radiation Advisory Committee (RAC).
The RMPP was established in 1986 to provxae states and homeowners
with some assurance that individuals and organizations making
radon measurements were, in fact, competent to do so.
The SAB/RAC's recommendations include: definition of separate
objectives for screening, diagnostic, and exposure measurements;
the need for independent exposures when testing devices submitted
by participants; improved statistical support for the program;
blind testing for passive devices, and consideration of
establishing consensus standards, voluntary accreditation, and
user fees.
018 This report presents the views of EPA's Clean Air Scientific
Advisory Committee (CASAC) on its review of the Agency's document
entitled "Review of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards
For Lead: Exposure Analysis Methodology and Validation". The
Committee concurred with the general modeling framework presented
in the report and endorsed the use of the biokinetic model in
children under six years of age, and the use of the disaggregate
approach in adults. The Committee cautioned that these modeling
predictions were not valid for pregnant women and their fetuses
due to a lack of information on this subpopulation. The use
biokinetic model for metals other than lead was not recommended.

SUMMARIES OF FY89 SAB REPORTS
019 This is the report of the EPA's Clean Air Scientific
Advisory Committee (CASAC) on its review of the Agency's draft
documents: "Air Quality Criteria Document Supplement (1988)" and
the "Review of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for
Ozone: Assessment of Scientific and Technical Information
(1988)". These documents were reviewed in public session on
December 14-15, 1988, 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
ambienti air quality standards for ozone.
020 The report presents the conclusions and recommendations of
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Science Advisory Board
summarizing a review of EPA's Proposed Guidelines for
Exposure-Related Measurements. The Board considers these
proposed guidelines as a logical complement to the previously
issued Guidelines for Estimating Exposures. The earlier
guidelines provide a framework for exposure assessment that may
be integrated with the current guidelines resulting in a useful
tool for exposure assessors. The Committee recommends that such
integration take place with careful attention to the necessary
linkages between measurements and modeling.
In addition to integration of the two sets of guidelines,
the Committee recommends that the guidelines be expanded beyond
human health, to encompass exposure assessments in an ecological
context. The focus and intended audience of the guidelines als;
need to be defined, and revisions made accordingly. The
Committee discussed quality assurance and control stringency, the
importance of exposure duration considerations, and needs
concerning development and analysis of data. In addition, a
recommendation was made to incorporate demographics, population
dynamics, and population activity patterns into the process for
assessing exposures. Finally, the Committee requests that the
guidelines be amended to include references to other bodies of
work that contain useful information on exposure assessment.
021 The Clinical Lab Review Subcommittee of the Clean Air
Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC) reviewed the EPA's Clinical
Research Branch (CRB) in order to provide the Agency with advice
concerning current and future directions in health research at
EPA clinical facility. The Subcommittee concluded that the
Research Plan was being conducted in a professional and

additional professional support be provided to two of the three
sections of the Clinical Research Branch, and that the third

section be supported in its goals of increased involvement in
field and epidemiologic studies. The Subcommittee commented on
the proportion of effort devoted to specific pollutants, and
advised that a reduction in research on sulfur dioxide and carbon
monoxide was warranted along with a substantial increase in
research on acidic aerosols and a modest increase in research on
nitrogen dioxide. The Subcommittee strongly encouraged that
research on ozone clinical studies continue at the same level of
effort for the next 3-5 years, and was clearly concerned about
the lack of proper justification for the specific projects on
indoor air and toxic pollutants. Finally, the Subcommittee
recommended that a standing, external scientific review/advisory
committee be established for the research program.
022 In recent years the SAB has been conducting a series of
scientific reviews of Agency research programs that have proven
to be a useful means of assessing the quality and relevance of
existing research, identifying research needs, and involving the
scientific community in the research planning process.
The Board has judged that these activities in toto provide a
more substantive review of the Agency's research plans than would
a focused review of the annual Five Year Research and Development
Plan (Research Outlook). Therefore, the Board declined the
opportunity to review the Research Outlook report.
023 This report presents the conclusions and recommendations of
the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency's Science Advisory
Board summarizing a review of EPA's "Laboratory Plan for the
Alaskan Oil Spill Bioremediation Project." This project was
designed to provide data to demonstrate the potential use of
bioremediation both as an emergency response tool_for Prince
William Sound, and for future environmental remediation efforts.
The Board supports ORD's efforts to enhance bioremediation using
addition of nutrients, but recommends that parallel efforts to
augment vioremediation using addition of nutrients, but
recommends that parallel efforts to augment bioremediation via
inoculation with microorganisms undergo further laboratory
investigation prior to field release. Additional recommendations
included consultation with experts in field plot design to make
sure that enhancement of biodegradation rats will be detected by
the experiment, and a simplification of the battery of
environmental effects measurements through association with an
underlying rationale.

024 On April 26-28, 1989 the Radiation Advisory Committee of the
Agency's Science Advisory Board met at the request of the Office
of Radiation Programs to consider the scientific merits of the
Office's Background Information Document (BID) on the proposed
regulatory action on radionuclides in connection with the
national Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
(NESHAP). Overall the Committee found the estimates of the
health risk to be acceptable, however, there were reservations
about the data and arguments used to drive the risks. The
Committee recommended that the most current, relevant data be
used such as that in UNSCEAR 88 and other consensus documents.
The Committee reaffirmed its previous recommendation that best
estimates be used along with ranges to specify the risks
involved. The Committee recommended that the Agency update its
exposure assessment models, consider the use of measurements when
available, and in the long run become a state-of-the-art
practitioner of environmental transport modeling.
025 This report presents the conclusions and recommendations of
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Science Advisory Board
summarizing a review of EPA's "Preliminary Analysis of the Skill
Mix Inventory of Lab Researchers". The Board considers this
preliminary analysis to be a logical first step in a process that
will identify needed changes in EPA's work force to allow
successful implementation of ongoing and future research. As a
result of the analysis, the SAB concluded that a significant
decrease in research personnel has taken place during a period of
escalating environmental concern. Recommendations are provided
to clarify and refine the skills mix data to provide a better
assessment of the skills needed to accomplish current and future
rsearch tasks, and to develop support mechanisms for graduate
training programs for insuring an adequate supply of researchers
for solving future environmental problems.
026 This report presents the conclusions and recommendations of
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Science Advisory Board
summarizing a review of EPA's "Career Ladders for ORD Field
Scientific and Engineering Positions". The Board's major
conclusion is that both the criteria and the process are too
internally directed. Therefore, participation by scientists and
engineers external to the Agency and with stature in their fields
in the review and evaluation of the accomplishments of candidates
for promotion is recommended. Such participation of external
parties is essential to the success of the advancement systems in
promoting scientific excellence within the Environmental
Protection Agency.

027 This report presents the conclusions and recommendations of
the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency's Science Advisory
Board summarizing a review of EPA's Apparent Effects Threshold
Approach for setting sediment quality criteria. The AET approach
integrates data from bulk sediment chemistry, sediment bioassays
and infaunal species measurements to provide estimates of
sediment chemical concentrations above which adverse
environmental effects are thought to occur. An objective of the
AET methodology is to identify adverse effects due to chemicals
occurring in mixtures in sediments by determining specific
chemical concentrations above which adverse effects will always
be found. The method has major strengths in its ability to
determine biological effects and assess interactive chemical
effects. The method is considered by the Subcommittee to contain
sufficient scientific merit that, with appropriate validation of
the AET values, it could be used to establish sediment quality
values for use at specific sites. In the Subcommittee's opinion,
the AET approach should not be used to develop general, broadly
applicable sediment quality criteria. Some major limitations
drive this opinion, including the site specific nature of the
approach, its inability to describe cause and effect
relationships, its lack of independent validation, and its
inability to describe differences in bioavailability of chemicals
on different sediments. The Subcommittee has several suggestions
for strengthening the AET approach including: building in
replicate sediment samples to assessments, devising criteria for
selection of reference sites, including considerations of
physical factors, and developing measures of variance.
028 This report presents the conclusions and recommendations of
the U.S. EPA's Science Advisory Board summarizing a review of the
Drinking Water Health Criteria Document for Cyanide. The Board's
major conclusions is that the proposed Drinking Water Equivalent
Level (DWEL) of 0.77 mg/1 of cynanide, based on the 1955 Howard
and Hanzal study, is appropriate. The above recommendation not
withstanding, the Board found the supporting data far from the
desirable level, and advises the Agency to plan and execute
needed research sufficiently in advance to support such decision
making.
029 This report presents the conclusions and recommendations of
the U.S. EPA Science Advisory Board summarizing a review of the
Drinking Water Health Criteria Document for Antimony. The
Board's major conclusions is that the proposed Drinking Water
Equivalent Level (DWEL) of 0.015 mg/1 of antimony, based on the
1970 Schroeder et al study for the Lowest Observable Adverse
Effects Level (LOAEL), is appropriate. The Board also found that
the use of antimony tartrate acceptable for determining the DWEL.

030 This report presents the conclusions and recommendations of
the U.S. EPA's Science Advisory Board summarizing a review of the
Drinking Water Health Criteria Document for Sulfate. The Board's
major conclusion is that the proposed acute Drinking Water
Equivalent Level (DWEL) of 0.200 mg/1 of sulfate, based on the
1968 Chien et al study, is not supportable because of inadequate
data. The Board also recommended that the document be referred
for public comment.
031 This report presents the conclusions and recommendations of
the U.S. EPA's Science Advisory Board summarizing a review of the
Drinking Water Health Criteria Document for Thallium. The
Board's major conclusions is that the proposed Drinking Water
Equivalent Level (DWEL) of 0.002 mg/1 of thallium, based on the
1986 Stoltz et al study, is not supportable because of
insufficient analysis of the available data. The Board also
recommended that the Agency attempt to extend its application of
dose-response analysis to extract more information from the
available data.
032 The Halogenated Organics Subcommittee of the SAB's
Environmental Health Committee met May 17, 1989 in Washington, DC
to review the scientific background document for EPA's Office of
Drinking Water regulations of hexachlorocyclopentadiene and 1,1,2
trichloroethane. The Subcommittee recommended that no drinking
water standard be developed for hexachlorocyclopentadiene at the
present time because of its extremely unlikely exposure and
minimal data base. In addition, the Subcommittee agreed with
EPA's Office of Drinking Water's recommendation
that the RfD for 1,1,2-trichlorothane of 0.004 mg/kg/day be
accepted on the basis of the standard as it appears to be based
on sound scientific data.
033 The ORD is in the process of implementing many of the SAB
recommendations made in earlier reports: Future Risk
(EPA-SAB-EC-88-040) , Review of ORD's Core Research Areas
EPA-SAB-RSAC-89-013) and Review of the Fiscal 1990 President's
Budget for Research and Development (EPA-SAB-EC-89-014). These
actions are reflected in the document which ORD supplies to EPA
program office managers to guide them in preparing their requests
for research projects in fiscal year 1991. At the request of the
Ipl Administrator, the SAB Research Strategies Advisory Committee
(RSAC) has reviewed the guidance (Assistant Administrator s
interim Guidance for FY 1991, June 1989) to nudge its Adherence
to earlier recommendations and its adequacy to deal with
current and emerging environmental issues.

SUMMARIES OF FY89 SAB REPORTS
The RSAC strongly supports the program laid out in the
guidance document. An effort of this type and magnitude is
needed if the Agency is going to fulfill its misson of protecting
public health and the environment. Specifically, the Committee
finds that the relative emphasis given to core research and
programmatic research is appropriate. Further, given the
budgetary constraints, the distribution of resources among the
various reearch components within the two portions of the
research effort is appropriate. The RSAC once again endorses the
need for an institute devoted to ecological studies, a major
commitment to risk reduction research, increased exposure
assessment activity, efforts to reestablish a meaningful grants
program for investigator-initiated grants and increased attention
to rebuilding the physical and personnel resources of EPA
laboratories.
The RSAC firmly believes that, even in the face of budgetary
constraints, the Agency msut retain the integrity of the core
research program set forth in the Guidance. A viable core
research program reguires this level of commitment.
034 This report presents the views of the U.S. EPA's Science
Advisory Board concerning its review of the EPA's draft report to
Congress entitled: "Policy Options for Stabilizing Global
Climate". The Board commends EPA for its portrayal of policy
options for stabilizing global climate. The draft Stabilizing
Report represents, to the Board's knowledge, the most
comprehensive effort to date to deal with the full range of
radiatively active or greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, methane,
nitrous oxide, chlorofluorocarbons, ozone) over a time period
extending out to the year 2100. This report provides worldwide
projects of the emissions of these gases under plausible future
scenarios and examines the effects of policy options in reducing
emissions levels. Some of the most important aspects of theses
options can be foreseen now, even though many important
uncertainties remain, both the scientific understanding of the
extent and character of global climate change, and in the
problems and promise of the policy opportunities. With
appropriate revisions, the Board believes that the report will
contribute significantly toward increased understanding of the
character and magnitude of the task of developing policy options
to stabilize global climate. Further, the Board believes that
assessment of the potential effects of global climate change, the
evaluation of stabilizing options,and the research on climate
change, effects technologies that may reduce emission rates, and
on the institutional and implementaton issues in deploying these
technologies should all be pursued immediately and vigrously as
part of a coordinated program, within EPA, the Federal
Government, and through international organizations.

035 This report presents the conclusions and recommendations of
the U.S. EPA's Science Advisory Board summarizing a review of the
Proposed Sewage Sludge Incineration Rules (40 CFR Part 257 &
503). The Board's major conclusion is that incineration is a
viable and appropriate technology for the treatment of sewage
sludge but that deficiencies in the risk and emissions data bases
and, particularly, the analytical methodlogies used did not
permit the development of a sound, technically based regulation.
The concept of using a stack gas measure of total hydrocarbons
emissions for monitoring sludge incineration and air pollution
control devices as a general performance indicator is sound, but
the proposed use of total hydrocarbons as direct indicator of
risk is not supportable due to the lack of a direct link between
total hydrocarbons and the total spectrum of organics which might
be emitted from sewage sludge incinerators, as well as the major
risk assumptions made in developing the standard.
036 in November 1989 the Halogenated Organic Solvents
Subcommittee conferred with ODW on a series of chemical mixtures
which are under review by ODW; namely, gasoline, polyaromatic
hydrocarbons (PAHs), and certain plasticizers (phtalates and
adipates).
The Subcommittee concluded that benzene was the most
appropriate components upon which to base a risk assessment for
gasoline. The toxicity of other water-soluable components could
be treated using EPA's risk assessment guidelines for mixtures.
gasoline. The toxicity of other water-soluable components could
be treated using EPA's risk assessment guidelines for mixtures.
Gasoline additives could be considered on an individual basis.
The Subcommittee also concluded that diethyl hexyl
phtalate (DEHP) and diethyi-hexyl adipate (DEHA) should be
assessed separately since they have different weight-of-evidence
classifications; B2 and C, respectively.
037 The Pollution Prevention Subcommittee of the Environmental
Engineering Committee of the EPA Science Advisory Board (SAB) has
prepared a report on the Agency's Draft Pollution Prevention
Research Plan: Report to Congress. The Agency's draft report to
Congress provides an excellent framework for addressing the
critical research elements to support a more comprehensive
Agency-wide, multi-media pollution prevention iitiative. A
continuing, well-funded core research program in pollution
prevention within EPA is critical to support the new EPA paradigm
centered on preventing pollution, rather than on "end-of-pipe"
treatment. The scope of the Report to Congress should be
expanded to includemore detail on management, organiation and
resource allocation, including copmmitment from the top,
pollution prevention from on-industrial sources, relationships
with the efforts of other Federal agencies and private sector
sources, and ways to measure progress.

There should be a shift in priorities to initially emphasize
those studies having the largest potential for developing bold,
new initiatives which could have major impact. Very high
priority should be given to product research and social-science
(non-technological, socio-economic) research. Process research
should be of only medium priority. The thrust of the product
research area should be on a product's impact during use and
disposal. The social science research should include
investigation into the feasibility of changing societal
attitudes, the effectiveness of removing barriers and
disincentives, providing incentives for pollution prevention,
encouraging reduction in use of problem substances and education
at all levels. Expertise should be built up within the Agency,
but the current shortage should not deter efforts. Outside
experts should be relieved upon.
038 The Drinking Water Subcommittee of the Science Advisory
Board's Environmental Health Committee met June 2-3, 1988 in
Cincinnati, Ohio to review selected issues relating to the
scientific background for regulating arsenic in drinking water.
The Subcommittee concluded that; the evidence for essentiality is
suggestive, that the current state of knowledge cannot resolve
whether or not hyperkeratosis is a precoursor of skin cancer and
that at dose levels below 200 to 250 up As 3+/person/day there is
a possible detoxification mechanism that may substantially reduce
cancer risk. The Subcommittee recommended that EPA; develop a
revised risk assessment based on estimates of the delivered dose
of non-detoxified arsenic to target tissues, and consider the
potential reduction in cancer risk due to detoxification in
establishing a maximum contaminant level for arsenic.
