evaluate each proposal received against 

the criteria set forth in 10 CFR part 

600.14. Field Offices and other 

Headquarters Program Offices may 

supplement internal staff review 

resources when there are not sufficient 

reviewers in ML with the objective of 

having the technical/scientific 

evaluation conducted by the most 

qualified individuals available. At times, 

external reviewers (non-DOE) may be 

utilized to supplement internal review. 

All review groups shall consist of at 

least three members, who will be chosen 

by the Director. 

c. MI selects evaluators on the basis 

of their professional qualifications and 

expertise in the field of activity 

proposed in the application. Outside 

evaluators are required to comply with 

10 CFR 600.16(c). 10 CFR 600.17, and any 

other applicable DOE rules or directives 

concerning the use of outside evaluators. 

d. After the completion of all technical 

reviews, the evaluations are forwarded 

to the appropriate Senior Program 

official within the MI for a final accept/ 

reject recommendation to the Director. 

The Director of MI decides to either 

accept or reject the unsolicited 

application in accordance with 10 CFR 

600.14. If the decision is to reject the 

application, the Senior Program Official 

prepares a justification for the decision 

and summarizes the results of the 

reviewer's comments. Notification is 

provided to the applicant of the decision 

to reject the application. If the decision 

is to accept the application, the Senior 

Program official initiates the 

procurement process to make an award. 

Notification of acceptance of the 

application will be made by the 

Contracting Officer upon approval of the 

procurement request by MI. Upon 

written request by the applicant MI will 

provide a written summary of the 

evaluation results. 

B. Applications in Response to 

Specific Solicitations by the Office of 

Minority Economic Impact MI has two 

areas for which financial assistance 

applications were requested i.e., 

Minority Educational Institution 

Assistance and Minority Honors 

Training and Industrial Assistance. 

Additional programs may be developed 

where solicitations for applications will 

be issued. The merit review procedures 

for these programs will be issued in the 

solicitations.

Clarification of Scop* of Chemicals 

Sources Covered and Open Meetings 

of ths Negotiated Rulemaking 

Advisory Committee—Fugitive 

Emissions From Equipment Leaks Rule 

As required by section 9(a)(2) of the 

Federal Advisory Committee Act (Pub. 

L 92-463), we are giving notice of open 

meetings of the Advisory Committee to 

negotiate a rule to control fugitive 

emissions of toxic volatile organic 

compounds (VOCs) from chemical 

equipment leaks. 

The next meeting will be held on Jane 

6 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and on June 7, 

1990, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., at the Compri 

Hotel 4620 S. Miami Blvd., Morrisville, 

NC (919) 941-6066. The Compri Hotel is 

at Exit 281 on 1-40 just two exits from 

the Raleigh-Durham Airport 

The Federal Advisory Committee Act 

Charter for this Committee was 

originally set to terminate April 30,1990. 

The Charter has been extended until 

September 1990. However, EPA expects 

that the Committee will reach agreement 

on the rule before that date. 

The Committee has been meeting 

since September 1989. Issues and 

options for monitoring and reducing 

fugitive emissions from equipment leaks 

have been greatly narrowed. The 

purpose of this meeting is to attempt to 

reach agreement on a conceptual 

framework for reducing fugitive 

emissions from valves, pumps and . 

flanges. The conceptual framework will 

address issues such as: leak definition, 

percentage leakers permissable, 

emission factors and approaches to 

assessing the cost of the standard. 

The scope of this and other rules that 

are planned for adoption witKin the first 

two years after passage of Clean Air Act 

(CAA) revisions will now include all 

categories of SOCMI sources that 

produce, and possibly all that use (as 

raw materials or intermediates) 

chemicals in the CAA list (e.g., the 

current list of 191). Although organic 

chemical processes (e.g., benzene/ 

toluene/xylene units) located in 

refineries or on refinery property would 

be affected, the Agency does not plan at 

this time, to include pertroleum refinery 

processes among the source categories 

affected by this initial phase of rules. 

The Committee has set July 17 and 18 

as its July meeting date. That meeting 

will be held in the Washington, DC, area 

at a location to be announced. 

The meetings are open to the public 

without advance registration-iPersons' ,,

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: Section 5(a)(1) of the Toxic 

Substances Control Act (TSCA) requires 

any person who intends to manufacture 

or import a new chemical substance to 

submit a premanufacture notice (PMN)
