                      EPA'S DEVELOPMENT  OF THE
                      CARBON  MONOXIDE STANDARDS

 Mr. Chairman and members of  the Subcommittee:

      We are pleased to be here  today to discuss our review of the

 Environmental Protection Agency's  (EPA's) development of its

 carbon monoxide standards.

      Concerned about the quality of  research supporting these

 standards, the Chairman, Subcommittee on  Oversight and

 Investigations, asked us to provide  information on several aspects

 of EPA's carbon monoxide research base,  including actions taken by

 several federal agencies concerning a researcher  whose studies

 were key to EPA's proposed standards.  We have recently  released

 our report1 which discusses these  issues. Although our  report

 does not contain conclusions and recommendations,  at the

 Chairman's request we have included several observations  in this

 testimony which flow from our work.
