Environmental Futures Committee

    The Environmental Futures Committee (EFC) of the Science Advisory 
Board (SAB) will conduct a public meeting on July 13, 1994 at the 
Gangplank Restaurant, Water Street SE., Washington, DC 20460.
    The Environmental Futures Committee (EFC) was formed by the SAB at 
the request of Administrator Browner to assist the Agency in 
anticipating environmental problems, issues and opportunities. The 
charge to this Committee includes: developing a procedure for short and 
long-term forecasting of natural and anthropogenic developments which 
may affect environmental quality and its protection; develop detailed 
examinations procedures and apply them to some future developments; and 
draw implications from the examinations of future developments and 
recommend actions for EPA to address them. At these meetings, the EFC 
will receive briefings on Futures issues; discuss the overall progress 
of the project (including tracking the activities of the SAB Standing 
Committees that are involved in the project); and begin to outline its 
draft report.
    These meetings are open to the public, but seating is limited and 
available on a first come basis. Any member of the public wishing 
further information concerning the meetings or who wishes to submit 
oral or written comments (at least 35 copies) should contact one of the 
Designated Federal Officials, Dr. Edward Bender, Science Advisory Board 
(Mail Code 1400F), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 401 M Street 
SW., Washington, DC 20460; telephone (202) 260-2562; FAX (202) 260-
7118, or via the Internet at [email protected].

Providing Oral or Written Comments at SAB Meetings

    The Science Advisory Board expects that public statements presented 
at its meetings will not be repetitive of previously submitted oral or 
written statements. In general, each individual or group making an oral 
presentation will be limited to a total time of five minutes. For 
conference call meetings, opportunities for oral comment will be 
limited to no more than five minutes per speaker and no more than 
fifteen minutes total. Written comments (at least 25 copies) received 
in the SAB Staff Office sufficiently prior to a meeting date, may be 
mailed to the relevant SAB committee or subcommittee prior to its 
meeting; comments received too close to the meeting date will normally

provided to the relevant committee or subcommittee up until the time of 
the meeting.
