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 EPA Administrator Pruitt provide an opportunity to evaluate approachesfor organizing risk-related scientific advisory processesfor regulatory agencies. The EPA Science Advisory Board Reform Act has been passed by the US House o f Representatives and is awaiting action in the US Senate, which may or may or may not be forthcoming. 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 diversefields, and to improve proceduresfor balancingperspectives andperceived biases on EPA scientific advisory panels. The Roundtable participants will be asked tofocus on the underlyingprinciples that should guide the science advisory processesfor the optimalprovision o f scientific advice on riskrelated issues to a regulatory agency. Hope you are all having a good summer Bernie Subject: SRA 2017 Annual Meeting Roundtable Acceptance Sierra Club v.
