scientifically reviewed studies to assess 

the costs and benefits of regulations 

promulgated under the Clean Air Act. 

The Council is an outside body of 

recognized experts charged with 

reviewing the data, methods and costbenefit analyses conducted by OAR for 

implementing its programs. The EES is 

one of the Council’s three 

subcommittees. Additional information 

on the EES and its advisory activity was 

provided in a Federal Register notice 

published on October 14, 2004 (69 FR 

60996). Additional background on the 

Council and on the statutorily mandated 

analyses of the costs and benefits of 

Clean Air Act programs was provided in

The December 9 and December 20 

teleconference meetings will provide 

the Council EES an opportunity to 

discuss draft responses to the Agency’s 

three charge questions pertaining to 

ecological issues and Clean Air Act 

regulations. These three charge 

questions (numbers 18–20) may be 

found at: http://www.epa.gov/air/
