Congress established the EPA Science Advisory Board (SAB) in 1978 and gave it a broad mandate to advise the Agency on technical matters. The SAB's principal mission includes:

- reviewing the quality and relevance of the scientific and technical information being used or proposed as the basis for Agency regulations

- reviewing research programs and the technical basis of applied programs

- reviewing generic approaches to regulatory science, including guidelines governing the use of scientific and technical information in regulatory decisions, and critiquing such analytic methods as mathematical modelling

- advising the Agency on broad scientific matters in science, technology, social and economic issues, and

- advising the Agency on emergency and other short-notice programs
