EPA Science Advisory Board

Congress established the EPA Science Advisory Board
in 1978 and gave it a broad mandate to advise the Agency on technical
matters. The Board's principal mission includes:
- Reviewing the quality and relevance of the scientific
and technical information being used or proposed as the basis
for Agency regulations
- Reviewing research programs and the technical basis of
applied programs
- Reviewing generic approaches to regulatory science, including
guidelines governing the use of scientific and technical information
in regulatory decisions, and critiquing such analytic methods
as mathematical modelling
- Advising the Agency on broad scientific matters in science,
technology, social and economic issues
- Advising the Agency on emergency and other short-notice
programs
