    Pursuant to the Federal Advisory Committee Act, Public Law 92-463, 
notice is hereby given that the Science Advisory Board's (SAB) 
Executive Committee (EC) will conduct a meeting on Thursday and Friday, 
April 21-22, 1994. The meeting will be held in the Administrator's 
Conference Room 1103 West Tower at the Environmental Protection Agency,

    At this meeting the Executive Committee intends to review reports 
from its Committees, including the following:

Global Climate Effects Research; Review of the Midwest Agrochemical 
Surface/Subsurface Transport and Effects Research (MASTER) program;
    (b) Environmental Engineering Committee (EEC)--Commentary on 
Strategic Research Planning;
    (c) Indoor Air Quality and Total Human Exposure Committee (IAQC)--
Review of Indirect Exposure Methodology; and
    (d) Radiation Advisory Committee (RAC)--Review of Naturally 
Occurring Radioactive Materials (NORM). Since these reports are 
currently being worked on by the various Committees, their availability 
for the EC meeting cannot be assured at this time.
    In addition, the EC will be briefed on the status of the Agency's 
Strategic Plan, the Environmental Technology Strategy, and recent 
activities of the Office of Science Technology Policy's (OSTP) National

for the agenda of the Agency's Science Policy Council and a request for 
SAB review of a scheme for ranking chemicals by use cluster.
    Progress reports will be received on the Science Advisory Board's 
Environmental Futures Project and the Research Strategies Advisory 
Committee's review of the Agency study of EPA laboratories. The SAB's 
ad hoc Reinventing Committee will brief the EC on its conduct of the 
``self-study'' of the Board during calendar year 1994.
    Additional topics on the agenda include public discussions with 
leaders in the Agency and the Administration on environmental issues 
and the Board's appropriate role in providing advice about these 
matters.
