I believe CASAC has specific statutory criteria for membership but generally inhouse scientists could be eligible for science boards but would have to undergo the ethics and financial disclosure review process.

Byron,
Hope all is well and you're settled in more to the job. Thanks again for your help getting an answer for Bloom Energy.
Wanted to see if there are any restrictions/qualifiers on who can serve on the Advisory Boards at ERA, We have clients who are interested in putting forward in house scientists to serve, but we wanted to make sure that was okay before doing it.
Thanks for any insight you can give.
Best, T.A.

Sierra Club v. EPA 18cv3472 NDCA
Tiers 8&9

EPA is seeking nominations to fill key slots on the Clean Air Science Advisory Committee and the Science Advisory Board -- committees the agency is required by law to maintain to advise it on air pollution and other scientific issues.
A notice will go into the Federal Register tomorrow that will allow 30 days for nominations to fill one opening on the Clean Air Science Advisory Committee, six slots on the Science Advisory Board and experts to serve on six SAB committees.
The timing for bringing on a new CASAC member is tight since committee chair Ana Diez Roux will depart at the end of September when her second term expires. As both a medical doctor and a member of the National Academy of Sciences, Diez Roux fills two roles required under the law. If her term ends without those roles filled, the committee will cease to function. CASAC provides essential advice for setting allowable air pollution levels for six key pollutants named in the Clean Air Act.
In addition to the six positions opening on the SAB committee, EPA is asking for nominees to serve on its Chemical Assessment Advisory Committee, the Drinking Water Committee, the Ecological Processes and Effects Committee, the Environmental Economics Advisory Committee; the Environmental Engineering Committee and the Radiation Advisory Committee.
WHAT'S NEXT: EPA will accept nominations for the positions for 30 days once the notice officially is published in the Federal Register, expected Tuesday.
