recommendations, including the actual cash amount of each award, the 
Agency requires full and frank advice from the EPA 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 of information of a personal nature 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
