"To ensure that EPA is receiving the best independent scientific advice, I am appointing highlyqualified experts and scientists to these important committees," said EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt. In a fair, open, and transparent fashion, EPA reviewed hundreds of qualified applicants nominated for these committees. Members who will be appointed include experts throughout the environmental stakeholder community, including from NGOs, academia, industry, and state, tribal and local officials. The makeup of the membership speaks to EPA's commitment to science and openness to expertise from a diverse array of perspectives. Those nominees willing to serve have committed to remaining financially independent from EPA grants during their tenures.

He estimated that the members of three different committees -- Scientific Advisory Board, the Clean Air Science Advisory Committee and the Board of Scientific Counselors -- had collectively accepted $77 million in EPA grants over the last three years. He noted that researchers will have the option of ending their grant or continuing to advise EPA, `but they can't do both.'"
