Notice of Scientific and Technological Achievement Awards 
Subcommittee Closed Meeting

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: An ad hoc Subcommittee of the Science Advisory Board will meet 
at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Washington, DC, on 
July 21-22, 1999. Pursuant to Section 10(d) of the Federal Advisory 
Committee Act (FACA), 5 U.S.C. App. 2, and sections 552(b)(2) and 
(b)(6) of the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(2) and 
552(b)(6), EPA has determined that the meeting will be closed to the 
public. The purpose of the meeting is to recommend to the Assistant 
Administrator of the Office of Research and Development (ORD) the 
recipients of the Agency's 1998 Scientific and Technological 
Achievement Cash Awards. These awards are established to honor and 
recognize EPA employees who have made outstanding contributions in the 
advancement of science and technology through their research and 
development activities, as exhibited in publication of their results in 
peer reviewed journals. In making these recommendations, including the 
actual cash amount of each award, the Agency requires full and frank 
advice from the Science Advisory Board. This advice will involve 
professional judgments on the relative merits of various employees and 
their respective work. Such personnel issues, where disclosure would 
constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy, are protected 
from disclosure by exemptions 2 and 6 of Section 552(b) of the U.S.C. 
In accordance with the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee 
Act, minutes of the meeting will be kept for Agency and Congressional 
review.
