SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background: The SAB Integrated Nitrogen Committee is studying the need for integrated research and strategies to reduce reactive nitrogen in the environment. At the global scale, reactive nitrogen resulting from human activities now exceeds that produced by natural terrestrial ecosystems. Reactive nitrogen both benefits and impacts the health and welfare of people and ecosystems. Scientific information suggests that reactive nitrogen is accumulating in the environment and that nitrogen cycling through biogeochemical pathways has a variety of consequences. Research suggests that the management of reactive nitrogen should be viewed from a systems perspective and integrated across environmental media. Accordingly, linkages between reactive nitrogen induced environmental and human health effects need to be understood in order to optimize reactive nitrogen research and risk management strategies. At a public meeting January 30–31, 2007, the Committee developed a work plan for the study. At its June 20–22, 2007 meeting the Committee gathered information, created an outline for the study’s report relating to reactive nitrogen in the environment, and made writing assignments. Further information on those meetings was provided in the Federal Register (72 FR 1989, January 17, 2007 and 72 FR 13492, March 22, 2007). On the September 14, 2007 teleconference, Committee members will summarize the progress they have made on their assignments, identify anything they need to complete the work, and engage in other Committee business as needed. On the October 15, 2007 call, the Committee will hear brief summaries of the member’s work, identify any critical areas that need attention before the faceto-face meeting, make recommendations for refining the agenda, and conduct other Committee business. At the October 29–31, 2007 meeting, the Committee will discuss the body of its report, arrange for revisions as needed, and to plan the completion of the remaining chapters. Availability of Meeting Materials: The draft agenda, and other materials for this teleconference will be posted on the SAB Web site at https://www.epa.gov/sab prior to the meeting.
