1. Call to order and introduction of attendees
2. Antitrust Statement: ASTM International is a not-for-profit organization and developer of
voluntary consensus standards. ASTM's leadership in international standards
development is driven by the contributions of its members: more than 30,000 technical
experts and business professionals representing 135 countries. The purpose of antitrust
laws is to preserve economic competition in the marketplace by prohibiting, among other
things, unreasonable restraints of trade. In ASTM activities, it is important to recognize
that participants often represent competitive interests. Antitrust laws require that all
competition be open and unrestricted. It is ASTM's policy, and the policy of each of its
committees and subcommittees, to conduct all business and activity in full compliance
with international, federal and state antitrust and competition laws. The ASTM Board of
Directors has adopted an antitrust policy which is found in Section 19 of ASTM
Regulations Governing Technical Committees. All members need to be aware of and
compliant with this policy. The Regulations are accessible on the ASTM website
(http://www.astm.org/COMMIT/Regs.pdf) and copies of the antitrust policy are available
at the registration desk.

Attachment 1: ASTM Subcommittee E50.47 on Biological Effects and Environmental Fate
Scope, Structure, and Strategic Plan
Scope: To develop and maintain standards needed to acquire and to use data on: (1) Effects of
biological, chemical, or physical stressors on aquatic and terrestrial bacteria, plants and animals;
(2) Properties of materials that affect and determine their fate, distribution and persistence when
introduced into the environment; and, (3) Promote knowledge and stimulation of research related
to the above. Subcommittee E50.47 was established in June 2013 as a merger of Committee E47
on Biological Effects and Environmental Fate into Committee E50 on Environmental
Assessment, Risk Management and Corrective Action.
E50.47 Structure:
1. Standards: 52 (Table 1)
2. Annual Book of ASTM Standards: Volume 11.06 (and at http://www.astm.org)
3. Subcommittee Meetings:
A.
Fall meeting: Concurrently with the Society of Environmental Toxicology and
Chemistry (SETAC) in North America (typically in November of each year).
B.
Other meetings: Periodic virtual meetings (via teleconference) and periodic
meetings during E50 Committee weeks.

5. Technical Contacts:
A.
Each of the E50.47 standards has a Technical Contact (Table 1).
3
B.
C.
Technical Contacts are responsible for maintaining a particular standard (e.g.,
coordinate a team of technical experts in developing and balloting draft revisions
to standards or drafts of new standards under the direction of the E50.47
Subcommittee Chair).
Task Groups: Each of the E50.47 standards are informally organized under the
following Task Groups: 01--Aquatic, 02--Terrestrial, 03--Sediment, 04--Fate, 05-General (Table 1). The Task Groups are based on the old subcommittee structure
in E47 (not a formal part of the E50 balloting process).
E50.47 Strategic Plan:
1. Annually review status and contents of current standards and, if necessary, initiate actions
to establish new work items and to ballot revisions the current standards (e.g., review
status of standards at fall meeting of E50.47; Table 1).
2. Respond to needs of industry, government, academia, and the general public by
establishing new task groups and developing standards that are consistent with the scope
of the subcommittee.
3. Short-term plans (in about the next year):
A.
Draft revisions to the following standards:
1. E1706-05(2010) Standard Test Method for Measuring Sediment Toxicity with
Freshwater Invertebrates. Lead: Chris Ingersoll (cingersoll@usgs.gov). Update
guidance on methods for conducting whole-sediment toxicity testing and develop
new guidance for water toxicity testing with the amphipod Hyalella azteca and
the midge Chironomus dilutus (focusing on growth and reproductive endpoints).
2. E2455-06 (2013) Standard Guide for Conducting Laboratory Toxicity Tests with
Freshwater Mussels. Lead: Ning Wang (nwang@usgs.gov). Update guidance on
glochidia testing and juvenile testing in water. Develop new guidance for
conducting sediment and effluent toxicity tests with freshwater mussels.
A. Balloting for technical revisions:
1. E50 Ballot 14-02: E1023-84(2007) Standard Guide for Assessing the Hazard of a
Material to Aquatic Organisms and Their Uses. Lead: Greg Linder
(linder2@usgs.gov)
4. Long-term plans (in about the next five years):
A.
Develop new standards or revise existing standards to address:
1. Toxicity testing and estimating bioavailability of nanomaterials
2. In situ toxicity testing with sediment
3. Sediment or water toxicity identification evaluations (TIEs)
4. Use of reference conditions to establish toxicity, toxicity endpoints and guidance
on integration of sediment assessment data (i.e., sediment quality triad)
5. Revise E2552-08 (Standard Guide for Assessing the Environmental and Human
Health Impacts of New Energetic Compounds) to incorporate new highthroughput methods for assessing toxicity. Lead: Mark Johnson
(Mark.S.Johnson.civ@mail.mil)
6. Identify individuals interested in chairing the Subcommittee or serving as
Technical Contacts on individual standards or groups of standards
