SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The SAB
was established by 42 U.S.C. 4365 to
provide independent scientific and
technical advice, consultation, and
recommendations to the EPA
Administrator on the technical basis for
Agency positions and regulations. The
SAB is a Federal advisory committee
chartered under the Federal Advisory
Committee Act (FACA), as amended, 5
U.S.C., App. The SAB will comply with
the provisions of FACA and all
appropriate SAB Staff Office procedural
policies.
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 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 to optimize reactive
nitrogen research and risk management
strategies. Information on the
Committee’s previous meetings was
published on January 17, 2007 (72 FR
1989), March 22, 2007 (72 FR 3492),

At the upcoming public meeting, the
SAB Integrated Nitrogen Committee
will: (1) Hear briefings on programs that
affect how reactive nitrogen is managed;
(2) develop materials needed to create a
draft report; (3) plan additional work
and writing, and (4) other committee
business.
