Notice of Scientific and Technological Achievement Awards 
Subcommittee--Closed Meeting

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: An ad hoc Subcommittee of the Science Advisory Board will meet 
at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Washington, DC, on 
June 22-23, 2000. Pursuant to section 10(d) of the Federal Advisory 
Committee Act (FACA), 5 U.S.C. app. 2, and section (c)(6) of the 
Government in the Sunshine Act, 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(6), EPA has determined 
that the meeting will be closed to the public. The purpose of the 
meeting is to recommend to the Assistant Administrator of the Office of 
Research and Development (ORD) the recipients of the Agency's 1999 
Scientific and Technological Achievement Cash Awards. These awards are 
established to honor and recognize EPA employees who have made 
outstanding contributions in the advancement of science and technology 
through their research and development activities, as exhibited in 
publication of their results in peer reviewed journals. In making these 
recommendations, including the actual cash amount of each award, the 
Agency requires full and frank advice from the Science Advisory Board. 
This advice will involve professional judgments on the relative merits 
of various employees and their respective work. Such personnel issues, 
where disclosure would constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal 
privacy, are protected from disclosure by section (c)(6) of the 
Government in the Sunshine Act, 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(6). In accordance with 
the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act, minutes of the 
meeting will be kept for Agency and Congressional review.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Robert Flaak, Team Leader, 
Committee Operations Staff, Science Advisory Board (1400A), U.S. 
Environmental Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave, NW, Washington,
