Second Quarter 1996, published by the Society for Risk Analysis
The Commission on Risk Assessment and Risk Management, established by Section 303 of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments, will release a draft of its report for public review and comment on June 13, 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., in a public meeting at the J.W. Marriott Hotel, Washington, D.C. The report will also be available June 13 on the Internet at http: //www.riskworld.com, the address of the World Wide Web publication RiskWorld.
The release comes 13 months past the mandated due date; however, because of delays in appointing its 10 members, the commission’s first meeting was postponed from May 1992 to May 1994. The commission was charged with investigating the “policy implications and appropriate uses of risk assessment and risk management” in federal regulatory programs concerned with exposures to hazardous substances.
The commission’s executive director, Gail Charnley, says
comments on the draft report should be received by August 9. They
should be mailed to the Commission on Risk Assessment and Risk
Management, 529 14th Street, N.W., Room 452, Washington, D.C.
20045, or faxed to (202) 233-9540. A hard copy of the draft
report may also be requested.
