"EPA" Agency Seeks Applicants For Hot-Button Science Panels"

"U.S. EPA is putting the word out that the agency is in the market for science advisers.

In a notice to be published tomorrow in the Federal Register, EPA is inviting nominations of 'scientific experts from a diverse range of disciplines' to serve on the Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee as well as the EPA Science Advisory Board, including six of that panel's subcommittees.

The notice says nominations should be submitted to the agency within 30 days of its publication.

Members of both the advisory committees are scientists and engineers who work outside of EPA and are appointed to three-year terms by the agency administrator."
