SHIP-SCRAPPING PANEL

[Lenny Siegel <lsiegel@cpeo.org>]

DEFENSE ESTABLISHES SHIP-SCRAPPING PANEL

In the wake of the Baltimore Sun's expose of occupational and
environmental hazards, in the U.S. and abroad, in the ship-scrapping
industry, the Defense Department has established the high-level,
short-term "Interagency Ship Scrapping Review Panel ." The charter and
membership of the panel may be accessed most simply through EPA's web
page: http://es.epa.gov/oeca . The Ship-Scrapping Panel is listed under
"What's Hot."

The panel is seeking both written and oral testimony from the public. I
believe the public meeting will be held in DC March 5. I will post
details when I receive them.
