related to EPA's role in synthesizing data to inform policy decisions and the
establishment of regulations, and to stimulate thinking in new ways. The
mechanism or mechanisms through which EPA chooses to address the recom-
mendations will depend on its funding, its priorities, and what environmental
science and engineering areas it wants to focus its efforts on in the future. Be-
cause the committee's report will become dated as science evolves and as les-
sons continue to be learned about best practices for protecting human health and
the environment, it may be beneficial for EPA to carry out a similar type of ex-
ercise at regular intervals in the future.
