Science Advisory Board; Drinking

Water Committee; Notification of

Public Advisory Committee Meeting

June 18–19, 1998

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Federal

Advisory Committee Act, Public Law

92–463, notice is hereby given that the

Drinking Water Committee (DWC) of the

Science Advisory Board (SAB) will hold

a public meeting beginning at 8:30 am

Thursday, June 18, 1998 and ending not

later than 3:00 pm Friday, June 19, 1998

(Eastern Time). The meeting will be

held in Room 3709-Mall of the EPA

Headquarters Building, 401 M Street,

SW, Washington, DC 20460.

At the meeting, the Committee will

engage in ‘‘consultations’’ with the

Agency on a number of scientific topics

of relevance to Safe Drinking Water Act

(SDWA) implementation. Documents

discussing some or all of these topics

may be the subject of future formal

reviews by the Drinking Water

Committee. Consultations to be

conducted include the following topics:

(a) The EPA drinking water contaminant

occurrence data base; (b) technologies

for small systems; and (c) drinking

water intake. The DWC will also receive

an update on the agency’s final Research

Plan for Microbial Pathogens and

Disinfection By-Products in Drinking

Water, receive information on the

agency’s M/DBP Research Tracking

System, and receive an informational

briefing on alternative test systems for

disinfection byproduct testing. The

DWC will also conduct discussions with

the Agency that will help the Committee

plan its future actions on drinking water

and drinking water research.

An SAB ‘‘Consultation’’ is an early,

public interaction between the SAB and

the Agency occurring before the Agency

has committed itself to a position and

even before it has written its ideas

down. The intent of a Consultation is to

leaven the Agency’s thinking by airing

and discussing various views and ideas

about how the Agency might proceed on

a problem—long before the Agency has

committed itself to a specific direction.

The process of a Consultation is an open

dialogue between Agency personnel,

who describe the problem, and the

members of an SAB panel who give

their individual ideas and suggestions

about how the Agency might proceed.

There is no intention to develop a

consensus position; therefore, an SAB

Consultation should not be considered a

peer review of the issue by the SAB,

since—by definition—the Agency has

not produced anything to peer review at

the time of the Consultation, and the

reactions provided are those of

individuals and not formal advice

approved by the SAB’s Executive

Committee.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Single copies of the background

information for this review, or the

meeting agenda, can be obtained by

any written comments to the Committee

are to be given to Mr. Miller no later

than the time of the presentation for

interested public.

The Science Advisory Board expects

that public statements presented at its

meetings will not be repetitive of

previously submitted oral or written

statements. In general, each individual

or group making an oral presentation

will be limited to a total time of ten

minutes. Written comments received in

the SAB Staff Office sufficiently prior to

a meeting date, may be mailed to the

relevant SAB committee or

subcommittee prior to its meeting;

comments received too close to the

meeting date will normally be provided

to the committee at its meeting. Written

comments may be provided to the

relevant committee or subcommittee up

until the time of the meeting.

Individuals requiring special

accommodation at SAB meetings,

including wheelchair access, should

contact the appropriate DFO at least five

business days prior to the meeting so
