SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background: Clean Air Act Advisory Committee provides advice,
information and recommendations on policy and technical issues
associated with implementation of the Clean Air Act (CAA) as requested
by EPA. These issues include the development, implementation, and
enforcement of programs required by the Act. The CAAAC will provide
advice and recommendations on approaches for new and expanded programs
including those using innovative technologies and policy mechanisms to
achieve environmental improvements; the
[[Page 18545]]
potential health, environmental and economic effects of CAA programs on
the public, the regulated community, State and local governments, and
other Federal agencies; the policy and technical contents of proposed
major EPA rulemaking and guidance required by the Act in order to help
effectively incorporate appropriate outside advice and information; and
the integration of existing policies, regulations, standards,
guidelines, and procedures into programs for implementing requirements
of the Act.
The programs falling under the purview of the committee include,
but are not limited to, those for meeting National Ambient Air Quality
Standards, reducing emissions from vehicles and vehicle fuels, reducing
air toxic emissions, permitting, carrying out compliance authorities,
and CAA-related voluntary activities. Members are appointed by the EPA
Administrator for two-year terms with the possibility of reappointment
to additional term(s). The CAAAC usually meets approximately 2 times
annually and the average workload for the members is approximately 5 to
10 hours per month.
Although EPA is unable to offer compensation or an honorarium for
CAAAC members, they may receive travel and per diem allowances,
according to applicable federal travel regulations.
EPA is seeking nominations from academia, industry, non-
governmental/environmental organizations, community organizations,
state and local government agencies, tribal governments, unions, trade
associations, utilities, and lawyers/consultants. EPA values and
welcomes diversity. In an effort to obtain nominations of diverse
candidates, EPA encourages nominations of women and men of all racial
and ethnic groups.
