been renewed for an additional two-year period, as a necessary 
committee which is in the public interest, in accordance with the 
provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5 U.S.C. App.

recommendations to the Administrator of EPA on issues associated with 
the systems and standards of accreditation for environmental 
laboratories. ELAB is composed of representatives of non-Federal

associations for the environmental laboratory industry, trade 
associations from EPA's regulated community, environmental public 
interest groups, academia, local and tribal governments, and laboratory 
assessment bodies. ELAB is currently seeking additional membership from 
these areas of interest, or others, with experience in the systems and 
standards of accreditation for environmental laboratories.
