Common Sense Initiative Council,

Petroleum Refining Sector

Subcommittee; Meeting

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Common Sense Initiative

Council, Petroleum Refining Sector

Subcommittee; notice of meeting.

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection

Agency established the Common Sense

Initiative Council (CSIC) on October 17,

1994 to provide independent advice and

counsel to EPA on environmental issues

associated with the petroleum refining

industry and other industrial sectors.

The charter for the CSIC was authorized

through October 17, 1996, under

regulations established by the Federal

Advisory Committee Act (FACA). The

Petroleum Refining Sector (PRS)

Subcommittee operates as a

subcommittee of the CSIC.

OPEN MEETING NOTICE: Notice is hereby

given that the CSIC–PRS Subcommittee

will hold an open meeting on Friday

March 10, 1995, from 8 a.m to 3 p.m.

at the Radisson Inn Hotel, 2150 Veterans

Blvd., Kenner, LA 70062, [1–800–333–

3333 or 504–467–3111]. The purpose of

the meeting is to further define areas on

which the CSIC–PRS will focus. The

Subcommittee will also convene in

working groups to begin identifying

specific issues. Seating will be available

on a first come, first served basis.

INSPECTION OF SUBCOMMITTEE

DOCUMENTS: Documents relating to the

topics above will be publicly available

at the meeting. Thereafter, these

documents, together with the CSIC-PRS

meeting minutes, will be available for

public inspection in room 2417M of

EPA Headquarters, 401 M Street SW.,

Washington, DC.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION: Anyone who

would like further information should

contact the Common Sense Initiative

Program Staff office by phone on (202)

260–417, or by FAX on (202) 260–766.

Members of the public may submit

written comments of any length prior to

the meeting. One hour of meeting time

will be set aside for oral presentations.

Each individual or group making an oral

presentation will be limited to a total of

five minutes. Attendees should provide

their names and telephone numbers to

the Common Sense Initiative Program

Staff so that the Agency can advise them

of any schedule changes.

Date: February 16, 1995.

Prudence Goforth,

CSIC/Designated Federal Officer.

Science Advisory Board

Environmental Engineering Committee

and Subcommittee; Open Meetings

March 8–10, 1995.

Pursuant to the Federal Advisory

Committee Act, Public Law 92–463,

notice is hereby given that the OSWER

Exposure Model Subcommittee of the

Science Advisory Board’s (SAB’s)

Environmental Engineering Committee

(EEC), will meet Wednesday March 8

and that the full Committee (EEC) will

meet Thursday and Friday March 9–10,

1995. The meetings will begin each day

at 8:30 a.m. The meetings will be held

at the One Washington Circle Hotel,

Washington Circle, NW., Washington,

DC (Hotel telephone is 202/872–1680 or

800/424–9671). The meetings are open

to the public and seating will be on a

first come basis.

OSWER Exposure Model Subcommittee

Meeting

On March 8 the Subcommittee will

review the EPA’s Composite Model for

Leachate Migration with Transformation

Products (EPACMTP) and the Finite

Source Methodology. Copies of the

documents to be reviewed are not

available from the SAB; they can be

obtained from Dr. Zubair Saleem, Office

of Solid Waste (5304), U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency, 401

M Street SW., Washington, DC 20460

(202/260–4767). The tentative charge to

this subcommittee is as follows:

(a) EPACMTP is the latest and most

advanced of the OSW subsurface fate

and transport models designed to be

computationally efficient for usage in

monte carlo analysis for national

rulemaking. The question of interest to

EPA is the mathematical formulation in

EPACMTP of the subsurface fate and

transport of daughter products from

degrading organic chemical

constituents, and the appropriateness

for EPA’s use of this approach in

establishing nation-wide exit levels for

hazardous waste in future regulations.

(b) The Office of Solid Waste (OSW)

has been using a national monte carlo

procedure in which national

distributions of parameters are used as

input to the model. OSW has developed

a regional site-based approach in which

hydrogeologic parameters are selected

from hydrogeologic regions and in

general have cross-correlations. They

are used as input to the model. Is this

site-based approach better or should

OSW continue to use the approach

based on national distributions of input

parameters?

(c) The OSW’s most recently-used

approach is based on an infinite source

steady-state model. EPA has developed

a finite-source approach for use with

EPACMTP. OSW would like SAB

comments on the adequacy of the

approach for regulatory purposes.

(d) MINTEQ (metal speciation model)

was developed by EPA. EPA has

recently developed the linkage of the

output of the model with EPACMTP to

assess the subsurface fate and transport

of metals. EPA would like SAB

comments on the appropriateness of the

use of this linkage for metals in EPA’s

national rulemaking efforts.

Environmental Engineering Committee

Meeting

On March 9–10, the EEC will discuss

its final draft report on the review of the

Use Cluster Scoring System (UCSS) of

the Office of Pollution Prevention and

Toxics; receive briefings from the

Agency on various programs; and plan

the remainder of its FY95 activities.

Copies of the EEC’s draft UCSS report

are available from Mrs. Dorothy Clark,

address below.

Any member of the public wishing

further information, such as a proposed

agenda on either meeting should contact

Mrs. Dorothy Clark, Secretary, Science

Advisory Board (1400F), U.S. EPA,

Washington, DC 20460, at 202/260–6552

or 202/260–7118 (fax). Written

comments of any length may be

provided up until the meetings, but 35

copies must be supplied. Members of

the public who wish to make a brief oral

presentation should contact Mrs.

Kathleen Conway by phone 202/260–

2558, or internet CONWAY.

KATHLEEN@epamail.epa.gov no later

than noon (eastern time) Wednesday

March 1 in order to have time reserved

on the agenda.
