a. Assess the state of existing scientific theories, methods, data,
and information on the nature of movement and transformation of specific
pollutants—chemical, physical, and biological—to ascertain their
environmental distribution, interactions with climatological/hydrological,
marine, terrestrial, and physiological/biological systems; the mechanisms of
transformation and movement and how movement and transformation of pollutants
allow predictions of the fate and effects of pollutants on the living and
non-living components of various environmental systems.
b. Assess the implications of information on environmental movement
and transformation of pollutants on proposed EPA decisions and rule-making
activities such as: proposal of primary and secondary air pollution
criteria and standards for selected pollutants, proposed water quality
criteria for selected water-borne pollutants, proposed rules on ocean dumping
of pollutants, deep well disposal of wastes.
c. Perform advisory studies in the scientific disciplines appropriate
to the Committee mainly: meteorology and climatology; oceanography and the
dynamics of estuarine and coastal zone processes; groundwater hydrology;
sedimentation; mathematical modeling of material and energy transport,
exchanges, and inter-conversions in various media and environmental systems;
and, thermodynamic and kinetic aspects of physiological and biological
processes as related to pollutant movement and transformation. Such
studies may be self-generated, or in response to requests by the Agency or
the Executive Committee of the Science Advisory Board.
d. Consider in detail the nature of intermedia movement and trans-
formation via local, regional, and global material balances for pollutants,
and the development of global material balance calculation methods for

March 23, 1976
The Deputy Assistant Administrator for I ^ticide Programs will initiate
all requests for comment by the Panel. Section 25(d) of PIFRA requires
that consultation with the Panel take place in accordance with the
following timetable: Notices of intent under Section 6(b) of FIFRA
and regulations in the form of proposed rulemaking under Section 25 (a)
of FIFRA will be forwarded to the Panel at least 60 days prior to their
issuance to a registrant for publication in the Federal Register; regu-
lations in the form of final rulemaking will be forwarded to the Panel
at least 30 days in advance of publication. The Panel's comments, if
any, will be submitted in writing to the Deputy Assistant Administrator
for Pesticide Programs. If comments on notices of intent under Section
6(b) of FIFRA and proposed rulemaking under Section 25(a) of FIFRA are
submitted within 30 days after the Panel's receipt of the request for
comment, or if comments on final rulemaking are submitted within 15
days after the Panel's receipt of the request, 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 £n the Federal Register.
The foregoing timetable will be followed unless the Panel and the Deputy
Assistant Administrator for Pesticide Programs agree on a different
timetable. In any particular case, the Panel may waive comment.
5. COMPOSITION. In accordance with Section 25(d) of FIFRA, the Panel
will be composed of seven members, including the Chairman, selected
and appointed by the Administrator from twelve nominees —.six nominated
by the National Institutes of Health and six by the National Science
Foundation. Members will be scientists who have had sufficient pro-
fessional qualifications, including training and experience, to be

FINDINGS AND PURPOSES
Sic. 2. (a) The Congress finds that there are numerous committees,

ions to the Federal Government.
(b) The Congress further finds and declares that—
(1) the need for many existing advisory committees has not
been adequately, reviewed;
(2) new advisory committees should be established only when
they are determined to be essential and their number should be
kept to the miniirmiri necessary;
(3) advisory committees should be terminated when they are
no longer carrying out the purposes for which they were estab-
lished;
(4) standards and uniform procedures should govern the estab-
lishment, operation, administration, and duration of advisory
committees;
(5) the Congress and the public should be kept informed with
respect to the number, purpose, membership, activities, and cost
of advisory committees; and
(6) the function of advisorv committees should be advisory
only, and that all matters under their consideration should be
determined, in accordance with law. by the official, agency, or
officer involved.
