Nomination of Experts
Formation of panels and ad hoc committees; nomination of experts
Much initial advisory work is conducted by panels and ad hoc committees before the chartered SAB, CASAC, and Council review and approve reports for the EPA Administrator.
- The SAB Staff announces new advisory projects in the Federal Register and provides ways for the public to:
- Nominate experts annually through the Web to the Council, CASAC, SAB, and SAB standing committees
- Nominate experts through the Web to new panels and ad hoc committees being formed
- Be informed about the candidates being considered for new panels or ad hoc committees being formed and
- Provide information, analysis, or documentation that SAB Staff should consider before it finalizes membership on panels and ad hoc committees.
The SAB Staff has developed a general overview of the panel formation process (PDF, 10 pp., 113 kb, About PDF Files) and a more detailed description of the formation of advisory panels and ad hoc committees in the 2004 SAB Implementation Plan (PDF, 30 pp., 347 kb, About PDF Files).
