The Administrator must periodically establish advisory committees to assist with air-quality programs and related work. Qualified non-federal members may receive limited compensation and travel expenses, and the Administrator must consult committees and experts on specified actions.
(a) Establishment; membership. To obtain help developing and carrying out this chapter—including air-quality criteria, control techniques, standards, and research—and to encourage industry’s efforts to improve air quality and find economically feasible pollution controls, the Administrator* must periodically establish advisory committees. Members must include people knowledgeable about air quality from health, welfare, economic, or technical perspectives.
(b) Compensation. Members of other committees appointed under this chapter who are not United States officers or employees may receive Administrator-set compensation of no more than $100 per day, including travel time, while attending meetings or serving at the Administrator’s request. When away from home or the regular workplace, they may receive authorized travel expenses, including a subsistence per diem under section 5703 of title 5.
(c) Consultations. Before issuing pollutant criteria, publishing a list under section 7411(b)(1)(A) or 7412(b)(1)(A), publishing a standard under section 7411 or 7412, or publishing a regulation under section 7521(a), the Administrator must, as far as practicable within the available time, consult appropriate advisory committees, independent experts, and Federal departments and agencies.
In order to obtain assistance in the development and implementation of the purposes of this chapter including air quality criteria, recommended control techniques, standards, research and development, and to encourage the continued efforts on the part of industry to improve air quality and to develop economically feasible methods for the control and abatement of air pollution, the Administrator* shall from time to time establish advisory committees. Committee members shall include, but not be limited to, persons who are knowledgeable concerning air quality from the standpoint of health, welfare, economics or technology.
The members of any other advisory committees appointed pursuant to this chapter who are not officers or employees of the United States while attending conferences or meetings or while otherwise serving at the request of the Administrator, shall be entitled to receive compensation at a rate to be fixed by the Administrator, but not exceeding $100 per diem, including traveltime, and while away from their homes or regular places of business they may be allowed travel expenses, including per diem in lieu of subsistence, as authorized by section 5703 of title 5 for persons in the Government service employed intermittently.
