Science Advisory Board; Request for Nomination of Members and 
Consultants

    In accordance with its standard operating procedures (SAB-FRL-2657-
4 dated August 21, 1984), the Science Advisory Board (SAB), including 
the Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC) and the Clean Air 
Act Compliance Advisory Council (CAACAC), of the Environmental 
Protection Agency (EPA) is soliciting nominations for Members and 
Consultants (M/Cs). As part of this effort, the Agency is publishing 
this notice to describe the purpose of the SAB and to invite the public 
to nominate appropriately qualified candidates of any gender or ethnic 
background to fill upcoming vacancies. This process supplements other 
efforts to identify qualified candidates.
    The SAB is composed of Non-Federal Government scientists and 
engineers who are employed on an intermittent basis to provide 
independent advice directly to the EPA Administrator on technical 
aspects of public health and environmental issues confronting the 
Agency. Members of the SAB are appointed by the Administrator to serve 
two year terms with some possibilities for reappointment.Consultants 
are appointed by the Staff Director of the Science Advisory Board to 
serve renewable one-year terms and serve on SAB committees, as needed. 
Many individuals serve as consultants prior to serving as members.
    Any interested person or organization may nominate qualified 
persons to serve on the SAB. Nominees should be qualified by education, 
training and experience to evaluate scientific, engineering and/or 
economics information on issues referred to and addressed by the Board.
    Members and Consultants most often serve in association with one of 
the following standing committees: Clean Air Act Compliance Analysis 
Council, Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee, Drinking Water 
Committee, Ecological Processes and Effects Committee, Environmental 
Economics Advisory Committee, Environmental Engineering Committee, 
Environmental Health Committee, Indoor Air Quality/Total Human Exposure 
Committee, Radiation Advisory Committee, and Research Strategies 
Advisory Committee.
    Members and Consultants can expect to attend 1-6 meetings per year, 
based upon the activity of the committee on which they serve. M/Cs 
generally serve as Special Government Employees 
(SGEs) (40 CFR part 3, subpart F or EPA Ethics 
Advisory 88-6 dated 7/6/88) and receive compensation based 
upon their regular income, in addition to reimbursement at the Federal 
government rate for travel and per diem expenses while serving on the 
SAB. SGEs are required to complete an application package, including a 
Confidential Statement of Financial Interests.
    Nominees should be identified by name, occupation, position, 
address, telephone number, and SAB committee of primary interest. 
Nominations should include a current resume that addresses the 
nominee's background, experience, qualifications, and specific areas of 
expertise.
    Information on the nominees will be entered into the SAB's data 
base for potential M/Cs which will be consulted whenever vacancies 
arise and/or when special expertise is needed for particular reviews. 
This request for nominations does not imply any commitment by the 
Agency to select individuals to serve as a member of or consultant to 
the Science Advisory Board from the responses received.
    Nominations should be submitted to: Ms. Janice Cuevas, Management 
Analyst, Science Advisory Board, USEPA, 401 M Street, SW., Washington, 
DC 20460 Tel: (202)-260-4126 no later than June 15, 1994. Additional
