 attention of Governments definitive changes in monitored parameters which 

 may require immediate attention. 



Another responsibility of the Committee is to review the adequacy of the 

 monitoring programs in both countries and make recommendations to 

 Governments on the Technical Monitoring Schedules. The Schedules are 

 updated annually for new and discontinued programs and for modifications 

 In sampling frequencies, parameter lists, and analytical techniques of 

 ongoing programs. The Technical Monitoring Schedules listed in the annual 

 report (Annex 2) are given for the forthcoming year. The Committee will 

 continue to review and propose changes to the Technical Monitoring 

 Schedules as information requirements change.
