Science Advisory Board; Environmental Engineering Committee and 
Subcommittee; Open Meeting

October 26-28, 1994.
    Pursuant to the Federal Advisory Committee Act, Public Law 92-463, 
notice is hereby given that the Science Advisory Board's (SAB's) 
Environmental Engineering Committee (EEC), will meet on the morning of 
Wednesday, October 26 and on Thursday and Friday, October 27-28, 1994. 
The meetings will begin each day at 8:30 a.m. The meeting will be at

    At this meeting, the primary activities of the EEC are (1) to 
review the Use Cluster Scoring System of the Office of Pollution 
Prevention and Toxics; and (2) complete its plans for fiscal 1995. The 
proposed charge for the review is:
    1. Are the methods used to define the chemical in a use cluster 
adequate?
    2. The main goal of the UCSS is to screen chemicals/clusters by 
using easily obtainable data to set priorities for OPPT. Given the 
limited nature of this goal, are the data sources used in the UCSS 
appropriate? What additional data sources could be used?
    3. Are the data sources used in the UCSS appropriate to bin 
chemicals into high, medium, and low categories?
    4. Are there other general areas/criteria (such as waste generation 
that should be included in the UCSS?
    5. Is the manner in which chemicals and clusters are scored 
appropriate? How does the SAB recommend the EPA treat the uncertainties 
associated with the system algorithms and the data sources themselves.
