    (a) This subpart amplifies the requirements described in subparts A 
through D by providing specific environmental review procedures for 
activities undertaken or funded by the Office of Research and 
Development (ORD).
    (b) The ORD Program provides scientific support for setting 
environmental standards as well as the technology needed to prevent, 
monitor and control pollution. Intramural research is conducted at EPA 
laboratories and field stations throughout the United States. Extramural 
research is implemented through grants, cooperative agreements, and 
contracts. The majority of ORD's research is conducted within the 
confines of laboratories. Outdoor research includes monitoring, 
sampling, and environmental stress and ecological effects studies.
