SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Summary: Pursuant to the Federal Advisory Committee Act, Pub. L. 
92-463, notice is hereby given that the Council will hold a public 
meeting to provide advice to the EPA on the Agency's plan to develop 
the third in a series of statutorily mandated comprehensive analyses of 
the total costs and total benefits of programs implemented pursuant to 
the Clean Air Act, and that the Council and its two subcommittees will 
also hold public teleconferences to plan for the public meeting. The 
dates and times for both the meeting and teleconference are provided 
above.
    Background: Background on the Council, its subcommittees, and on 
the advisory project that will be the focus of the meeting and 
teleconferences described in this notice was provided in a Federal 
Register notice published on February 14, 2003 (68 FR 7531-7534).
    In forming the Health and Ecological Effects Subcommittee discussed 
in that Federal Register notice, the Science Advisory Board Staff 
Office received nominations for health effects experts. It has 
therefore decided to rename the Subcommittee as the ``Health Effects 
Subcommittee'' of the Council and to work with the Council to form a 
new subcommittee to focus on ecological effects or to develop another 
appropriate mechanism to consider and give due attention to ecological 
effects, including coordination with a new SAB

Services.''
