The Resources and Technology Department material is arranged into two subseries: Committees, subcommittees, and task forces, and Subject files. This material should be considered in conjunction with the Science and Technology Department material.

The Committees, subcommittees, and task forces subseries contains mailings, meeting material, member lists, minutes, and agendas from various committees and subcommittees. The material is arranged by committee or subcommittee and then chronologically.

The Subject files subseries consists of files that were maintained by the Resources and Technology Department on a variety of topics of interest to the department and likely used as reference. Several subjects are included, but some are the Air Quality Standards Coalition, AT&T litigation, Clean Air Act amendments, energy, Global Climate Coalition, and regional haze.

From 1996 to 1998, the NAM was the Secretariat of the Air Quality Coalition (AQC, previously the Air Quality Standards Coalition). The files relating to AQC include testimony, public comments, press releases, memoranda, proposed rules, and legislative materials related to air quality standards in the 1990s. The files are primarily from Mark Burtschi (1961-), NAM’s Director for Air Quality, and Theresa Law (1959-), who worked on environmental issues throughout the decades.

Several files from 1989 to 1993 cover the Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA) signed by President George H. W. Bush (1924-2018). A considerable number of the later files concern further air quality regulations proposed by the Clinton administration. These concern a class of pollutant known as “Particulate Matter 2.5” — 2.5 referring to the size of the particle in micrometers — and a number of these files pertain to the controversy that arose when some of the public health studies underlying the regulation came into question.
