EPA Announces Selection of Charter Members to the Science Advisory Board and

WASHINGTON (Oct. 10, 2023) – Today, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) Administrator Michael S. Regan announced his selections for membership
of the Science Advisory Board (SAB) and Clean Air Scientific Advisory
Committee (CASAC). The well-qualified experts selected by Administrator Regan
bring a cross-selection of scientific disciplines and the experience needed to
provide sound scientific advice to EPA leadership to help advance the
agency’s mission.   
“Everything we do at EPA must be grounded in the latest and best available
science, adhering to the highest standard of scientific integrity,” said EPA
Administrator Michael S. Regan. “The Science Advisory Board and the Clean
Air Scientific Advisory Committee will ensure that EPA continues to receive
sound, independent science-based advice. I want to thank those members leaving
SAB and CASAC for their outstanding service and welcome the newest members
that will apply their widely-respected and trusted expertise to our work to
protect public health and our environment.”
The membership solicitation process resulted in 115 nominations for the SAB
and eight CASAC nominations to fill the required slot for a member
representing State air pollution control agencies. All candidates were
evaluated by the Science Advisory Board Staff Office (SABSO) and
recommendations were given by SABSO to the Administrator for him to consider
for his selections.

Faculty Affairs and Professor, Department of Civil and Environmental
