Abstract |
The Environmental Models Subcommittee (EMS) of the Executive Committee (EC) of the Science Advisory Board (SAB) reviewed the TRIM(period)FaTE Module of the Total Risk Integrated Methodology (TRIM) being developed by the Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards (QAQPS) in the Office of Air and Radiation (OAR). Recommendations are made to seek input from users before and after the methodology is developed to maximize its utility, to know how it is being used, and to guard against inappropriate uses; to provide documentation of recommended and inappropriate applications; to provide training for users; to test the model and its subcomponents against current data and models to evaluate its ability to provide realistic results; and to apply terminology consistently. |
