I came from my office to ask a few questions. When I leave afterwards, I ask that the witnesses do not think it disrespectful of me. I thank the witnesses for their helpful presentation. I would like further clarity on the measures proposed in the new action plan. Is the EPA's remit to look at the science and data or is it to propose measures that will come in line with the data to hand? Will the EPA provide input or will it have a policy on the measures proposed in the action plan?
