SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background: CHPAC is chartered under the Federal Advisory Committee
Act (FACA), Public Law 92-463. EPA established this Committee in 1997
to provide independent advice to the EPA Administrator on a broad range
of environmental issues affecting children's health.
The EPA Administrator appoints members for three-year terms with a
cap on service at six years. The Committee meets 2-3 times annually and
the average workload is approximately 10 to 15 hours per month. EPA
provides reimbursement for travel and other incidental expenses
associated with official government business, but members must be able
to cover expenses prior to reimbursement.
The CHPAC is looking for representatives from industry; tribal,
state, county and local government; school systems; academia; health
care providers (including pediatricians, obstetric professionals,
occupational medicine practitioners and community nurses); and non-
governmental organizations.
The types of experience necessary includes: children's
environmental health and development; epidemiology and toxicology; role
of environmental chemicals in childhood diseases such as asthma,
obesity and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD); prenatal
environmental exposures and adverse health outcomes; specific
environmental exposures to chemicals such as lead, mercury and other
heavy metals that adversely impact children's health; tribal children's
environmental health; research; air quality (indoor and outdoor); water
quality; EPA regulation development; risk assessment; exposure
assessment; science policy; public health information tracking; and
outreach and risk communication.
EPA is looking for background and experience that would contribute
to the diversity of perspectives on the committee (e.g., geographic,
economic, social, cultural, racial, ethnicity, educational, and other
considerations).
Nominees must have the ability to volunteer time to attend meetings
2-3 times a year in Washington, DC, participate in teleconference
meetings, develop recommendations to the EPA Administrator, and prepare
reports and advice letters.
Nominations must include the following information:
<bullet> Brief statement describing the nominee's interest in
serving on the CHPAC.
<bullet> Short biography (no more than one page) describing the
professional and educational qualifications, including a list of
relevant activities, and any current or previous service on federal
advisory committees.
<bullet> Statement about the perspective the nominee brings to the
committee.
<bullet> Current contact information for the nominee, including
name, organization (and position within that organization), business
address, email address, and telephone number.
<bullet> Candidates may self-nominate; one letter of support is
welcome.

Alternate Designated Federal Officer, Office of Children's Health
Protection.
