Science Advisory Board; Closed Meeting Notice
An ad hoc Subcommittee of the Science Advisory Board will meet at
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Washington, D.C., on
August 27-28, 1998. Pursuant to Section 10(d) of the Federal Advisory
Committee Act (FACA) and 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(c)(2) and 552(b)(c)(6), EPA
has determined that the meeting will be closed to the public. The
purpose of the meeting is to recommend to the Assistant Administrator
of the Office of Research and Development (ORD) the recipients of the
Agency's 1997 Scientific and Technological Achievement Cash Awards.
These awards are established to honor and recognize EPA employees who
have made outstanding contributions in the advancement of science and
technology through their research and development activities, as
exhibited in publication of their results in peer reviewed journals. In
making these recommendations, including the actual cash amount of each
award, the Agency requires full and frank advice from the Science
Advisory Board. This advice will involve professional judgments on the
relative merits of various employees and their respective work. Such
personnel issues, where disclosure would constitute an unwarranted
invasion of personal privacy, are protected from disclosure by
exemptions 2 and 6 of Section 552(b)(c) of the U.S.C. In accordance
with the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act, minutes of
the meeting will be kept for Agency and Congressional review. For more
information, contact Mr. Robert Flaak, Team Leader, Committee
Operations Staff, Science Advisory Board (1400), U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, 401 M Street, SW., Washington, D.C. 20460, via
