SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Council is hosting a series of 4

recommendations for the possible redevelopment of the RSA program. Each 
webinar will target a separate topic related to RSA (research, funding, 
and enforcement). The Scientific and Statistical Committee Economic 
Working Group will work collaboratively with the Council's RSC to 
provide economic input specific to each webinar topic, as well as 
develop meeting reports and briefing materials for the in-person 
workshop in the fall. During the final in-person workshop, participants 
will review the recommendations from the first three webinars and 
develop final recommendations for RSA program redevelopment. Workshop 
participants will include a core group of individuals who will be 
invited to attend all four workshops. Staff may solicit additional 
participants with topic-specific expertise to participate in each 
workshop. All workshops will be open to the public.
