Yosie; White, Kimberly; Beck, Nancy; Joe Arvai; Richard Denison Subject: FW: SRA 2017 Annual Meeting Roundtable Acceptance Congratulations to us all. We are on the schedule for Tuesday afternoon, 12/12, from l:30-3pm. Just as a reminder:. The final order of presentations is open - it will be ten minutes each except for Terry who is our MC. Should leave 40 min for discussion. Again, the focus should be on the optimal principles and how best to achieve them rather than a critique of specific legislation. Our abstract is below Recent activities by both Congress and by ERA Administrator Pruitt provide an opportunity to evaluate approaches for organizing risk-related scientific advisory processes for regulatory agencies. The EPA Science Advisory Board Reform Act has been passed by the US House o fRepresentatives and is awaiting action in the US Senate, which may or may or may not beforthcoming. These have generated media interest and controversy and some have characterized these actions as unnecessarily politicizing science and decreasing the likelihood o f the involvement o f knowledgeable academic scientists in EPA review processes. Others have pointed out that there is a need to broaden scientific representation in diverse fields, and to improve proceduresfor balancing perspectives and perceived biases on EPA scientific advisory panels. The Roundtable participants will be asked tofocus on the underlyingprinciples that should guide the science advisory processes for the optimalprovision o f scientific advice on risk-related issues to a regulatory agency. Hope you are all having a good summer Bernie Subject: SRA 2017 Annual Meeting Roundtable Acceptance Sierra Club v.
