The Residual Risk Subcommittee of the Science Advisory Board`s (SAB) Executive Committee convened in public session on August 3, 1998 to review the US Environmental Protection Agency`s draft Residual Risk Report to Congress (Report). The Report describes the strategy methods the Agency will use to assess the risk remaining, (i.e., the residual risk) after maximum achievable control technology (MACT) standards, applicable to emissions sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs), have been promulgated under Section 112(d). The SAB endorses the underlying the risk assessment (RA)/risk management (RM) approach described in the Report. The SAB report contains many other specific comments, as well as an appendix containing written comments from individual numbers.
