    Background: The CHPAC is a Federal advisory committee under the 
Federal Advisory Committee Act, Pub. L. 92463. The U.S. Environmental

justice community, State/local/tribal governments, outreach groups, 
user/processors (i.e., foods), and economists.
    Members are appointed by the Administrator of EPA for two year 
terms with the possibility of reappointment for up to 6 years. The 
Committee usually meets 3-4 times annually (with additional 
teleconference meetings as needed) and the average workload for the 
members is approximately 10 to 15 hours per month. Members serve on the 
Committee in a voluntary capacity; however, EPA provides reimbursement 
for travel expenses associated with official government business.
    Potential candidates should possess the following qualifications: 
Occupy a senior position within their organization; Broad experience 
outside of their current position; Experience dealing with public 
policy issues affecting children; Membership in broad-based networks;
