and future, and conducts periodic review of the program for the purpose
of determining and advising on the scientific merit of its activities
and their overall scientific quality. Its members are selected from
recognized authorities knowledgeable in fields such as toxicology,
pharmacology, pathology, epidemiology, risk assessment, carcinogenesis,
mutagenesis, cellular biology, computational toxicology,
neurotoxicology, genetic toxicology, reproductive toxicology or
teratology, and biostatistics. Members serve overlapping terms of up to
four years. The BSC usually meets periodically. The authority for the
BSC is provided by 42 U.S.C. 217a, section 222 of the Public Health
Service Act (PHS), as amended.
The BSC is governed by the provisions of the Federal Advisory
Committee Act, as amended (5 U.S.C. app.), which sets forth standards
for the formation and use of advisory committees.
