A couple of questions: 1) The chain references just the SAB and CASAC. Are those the only two advisory committees that the upcoming directive will apply to? Is there are others, which ones? 2) Is it Mr. Pruitt's plan that current EPA grant recipients will be immediately disqualified from continued service on their respective committees? 3) Is it accurate to say that Mr. Pruitt will also apply the new policy to people already nominated for membership on the CASAC and SAB (i.e., those currently receiving EPA grants would be disqualified from consideration)? 4) On what day this week does Mr. Pruitt plan to make this new directive public? My deadline is 3:15 this afternoon.
