The U.S. EPA is seeking nominations for a diverse range of qualified candidates to be considered for appointment to its Mobile Sources Technical Review Subcommittee, including those with experience in the biofuels and agriculture industries.
The MSTRS provides the EPA with recommendations on the scientific and technical aspects of programs related to mobile source air pollution and its control. The subcommittee and its various workgroups reviews and addresses a wide range of developments, issues and research areas, such as emissions modeling, emissions standard and standard setting, air toxics, innovative and incentive-based transportation policies, heavy-duty engines, diesel retrofit and fuel quality.
Members serve a three-year term, with the possibility of appointment to a second term. Among the diverse qualifications used to evaluate nominees is experience working with renewable fuel producers and experience working with agricultural producers, distillers, processors and shippers of biofuels.
