with the Federal Advisory Committee 

Act (FACA) (5 U.S.C. App. 2) and 

related regulations. 

The Council consists of 26 members 

(including a Chairperson) appointed by 

EPA’s Administrator. Members serve as 

non-federal stakeholders representing: 

four (4) from academia, three (3) from 

business and industry; six (6) from

reimbursement for travel and other 

incidental expenses associated with 

official government business.
