ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
[FRL-5290-8]


Science Advisory Board; Notification of Public Advisory Committee 
Meeting; Meeting Cancellation

    Pursuant to the Federal Advisory Committee Act, Public Law 92-463, 
notice is hereby given that the previously announced meeting of the 
Ecological Processes and Effects Committee of the Science Advisory 
Board, scheduled for September 7-8, 1995, at the Environmental 
Protection Agency's Washington Information Center, Conference Room 17, 
401 M Street, SW., Washington, DC 20460, has been cancelled (60 FR 
43594-43595; August 22, 1995). A principal reason for the meeting was 
to review portions of the Agency's draft document, ``Proposed 
Environmental Goals for America with Benchmarks for the Year 2005.'' 
That document is not yet available for review by the SAB, due to 
additional internal reviews scheduled by the Agency.
    Background: The Environmental Goals Project is an EPA effort to 
define national environmental goals and benchmarks by which to measure 
progress toward achieving those goals. In 1994, a series of nine public 
roundtables were held in cities around the country to receive input on 
the nation's goals for the environment. The draft document, ``Proposed 
Environmental Goals for America with Benchmarks for the Year 2005,'' 
summarizes the Agency's proposals for long-range goals and measurable 
10-year benchmarks. Following review by other federal agencies and the 
SAB, the document will be distributed for public review, including a 
series of public roundtables in early 1996. Concurrent with final 
federal agency review of the document, the SAB has been asked to review 
the goals and benchmarks and evaluate the following: (a) Are the long-
range goals technically meaningful and achievable? (b) will the goals, 
if met, result in a healthy and economically secure populace and a 
healthy environment? (c) are the milestones appropriate for gauging 
progress toward the goals? (d) do the milestones, taken together, 
adequately cover the range of technical considerations for each goal? 
and, (e) what other milestones should be
