The Environmental Research, Development, and Demonstration Authorization Act (ERDDAA) requires the EPA to make available to the SAB proposed criteria documents, standards, limitations, and technical information on which the proposed action is based. The SAB may then decide to provide advice and comments on the adequacy of the scientific and technical basis of the proposed action.
