one-time and periodic reports, and the 

maintenance of records. These activities 

will enable EPA to determine initial 

compliance with the emission limits for 

the regulated pollutants, monitor 

compliance with operating parameters, 

and ensure that facilities conduct the 

proper planning and operator training. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Owners and operators of commercial 

and industrial solid waste incineration 

units. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subpart 

CCCC). 

Estimated number of respondents: 5 

(total). 

Frequency of response: Initially, 

occasionally, and annually. 

Total estimated burden: 1,036 hours 

(per year). ‘‘Burden’’ is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.3(b). 

Total estimated cost: $451,859 (per 

year), includes $350,476 annualized 

capital or operation & maintenance 

costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

increase in the total estimated 

respondent burden when compared 

with the ICR currently-approved by 

OMB. This increase is due to a 

multitude of factors including an 

increase in the respondent universe 

since the last ICR period, an update to 

the labor rates, as well as corrections to 

errors in the burden estimates. The 

primary correction included revising the 

number of existing respondents subject 

to annual reporting and recordkeeping 

requirements. 

There is also an increase in the total 

capital and O&M costs due to an 

increase in the number of respondents. 

In addition, this ICR corrects the 

number of respondents that have to 

maintain monitors, which also 

contributes to the increase in O&M 

costs. 

There is also a decrease in the Agency 

burden and cost due to several 

corrections, primarily associated with 

the frequency of observing initial stack 

tests and reviewing excess emission 

reports.

Human Studies Review Board 

Advisory Committee 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. Request for Nominations 

to the Human Studies Review Board 

(HSRB) Advisory Committee. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) invites nominations from 

a diverse range of qualified candidates 

with expertise in bioethics to be 

considered for appointment to its 

Human Studies Review Board (HSRB) 

advisory committee. Anticipated 

vacancies will be filled by September 1, 

2014. Sources in addition to this 

Federal Register Notice may also be 

utilized in the solicitation of nominees. 

DATES: Submit nominations by April 11, 

2014. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: On February 6, 2006, the 

Agency published a final rule for the 

protection of human subjects in research 

(71 FR 24 6138) that called for creating 

a new, independent human studies 

review board (i.e., HSRB). The HSRB is 

a federal advisory committee operating 

in accordance with the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act (FACA) 5 

U.S.C. App. 2 § 9 (Pub. L. 92–463). The 

HSRB provides advice, information, and 

recommendations to EPA on issues 

related to scientific and ethical aspects 

of human subjects research. The major 

objectives of the HSRB are to provide 

advice and recommendations on: (1) 

Research proposals and protocols that 

include human subjects; (2) reports of 

completed research with human 

subjects; and (3) how to strengthen 

EPA’s programs for protection of human 

subjects of research. The HSRB reports 

to the EPA Administrator through EPA’s 

Science Advisor. General information 

concerning the HSRB, including its 

charter, current membership, and 

activities can be found on the EPA Web 

site at http://www.epa.gov/osa/hsrb/. 

HSRB members serve as special 

government employees or regular 

government employees. Members are 

appointed by the EPA Administrator for 

either two or three year terms with the 

possibility of reappointment for 

additional terms, with a maximum of 

six years of service. The HSRB usually 

meets up to four times a year and the 

typical workload for HSRB members is 

approximately 25 to 30 hours per 

meeting, including the time spent at the 

meeting. Responsibilities of HSRB 

members include reviewing extensive 

background materials prior to meetings 

of the Board, preparing draft responses 

to Agency charge questions, attending 

Board meetings, participating in the 

discussion and deliberations at these 

meetings, drafting assigned sections of 

meeting reports, and helping to finalize 

Board reports. EPA compensates special 

government employees for their time 

and provides reimbursement for travel 

and other incidental expenses 

associated with official government 

business. EPA values and welcomes 

diversity. In an effort to obtain 

nominations of diverse candidates, EPA 

encourages nominations of women and 

men of all racial and ethnic groups. 

The qualifications of nominees for 

membership on the HSRB will be 

assessed in terms of the specific 

expertise sought for the HSRB. Qualified 

nominees who agree to be considered 

further will be included in a ‘‘Short 

List’’. The Short List of nominee names 

and biographical sketches will be posted 

for 14 calendar days for public comment 

on the HSRB Web site: http://

www.epa.gov/osa/hsrb/index.htm. The 

public will be encouraged to provide 

additional information about the 

nominees that EPA should consider. At 

the completion of the comment period, 

EPA will select new Board members 

from the Short List. Candidates not 

selected for HSRB membership at this 

time may be considered for HSRB 

membership as vacancies arise in the 

future or for service as consultants to 

the HSRB. The Agency estimates that 

the names of Short List candidates will 

be posted in June 2014. However, please 

be advised that this is an approximate 

time frame and the date is subject to 

change. If you have any questions 

concerning posting of Short List 

candidates on the HSRB Web site, 

please consult the person listed under 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. 

Members of the HSRB are subject to 

the provisions of 5 CFR Part 2634, 

Executive Branch Financial Disclosure, 

as supplemented by the EPA in 5 CFR 

Part 6401. In anticipation of this 

requirement, each nominee will be 

asked to submit confidential financial 

information that fully discloses, among 

other financial interests, the candidate’s 

employment, stocks and bonds, and 

where applicable, sources of research 

support. The information provided is 

strictly confidential and will not be 

disclosed to the public. Before a 

candidate is considered further for 

service on the HSRB, EPA will evaluate 

each candidate to assess whether there 

is any conflict of financial interest, 

appearance of a lack of impartiality, or

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 52 / Tuesday, March 18, 2014 / Notices 15119 

prior involvement with matters likely to 

be reviewed by the Board. 

Nominations will be evaluated on the 

basis of several criteria, including: The 

professional background, expertise and 

experience that would contribute to the 

diversity of perspectives of the 

committee; interpersonal, verbal and 

written communication skills and other 

attributes that would contribute to the 

HSRB’s collaborative process; consensus 

building skills; absence of any financial 

conflicts of interest or the appearance of 

a lack of impartiality, or lack of 

independence, or bias; and the 

availability to attend meetings and 

administrative sessions, participate in 

teleconferences, develop policy 

recommendations to the Administrator, 

and prepare recommendations and 

advice in reports. 

Nominations should include a resume 

or curriculum vitae providing the 

nominee’s educational background, 

qualifications, leadership positions in 

national associations or professional 

societies, relevant research experience 

and publications along with a short (one 

page) biography describing how the 

nominee meets the above criteria and 

other information that may be helpful in 

evaluating the nomination, as well as 

the nominee’s current business address, 

email address, and daytime telephone 

number. Interested candidates may selfnominate. 

To help the Agency in evaluating the 

effectiveness of its outreach efforts, 

nominees are requested to inform the 

Agency of how you learned of this 

opportunity. 

Final selection of HSRB members is a 

discretionary function of the Agency 

and will be announced on the HSRB 

Web site at http://www.epa.gov/osa/

hsrb/index.htm as soon as selections are 

made.

Michigan; Regional Haze State 

Implementation Plan; Petition for 

Reconsideration 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of action denying 

petition for reconsideration. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is providing notice of its 

response to a petition for 

reconsideration of a rule published in 

the Federal Register on December 3, 

2012, addressing Clean Air Act regional 

haze planning requirements for the State

January 17, 2013, on behalf of St. Marys 

Cement (SMC), asked EPA to reconsider 

its action promulgating emission limits 

representing best available retrofit 

technology for SMC’s facility in 

Charlevoix, Michigan. EPA has denied 

the petition by action signed February 

20, 2014, for reasons that EPA explains 

in the document denying SMC’s 

petition. 

DATES: Petitions for review must be filed 

by May 19, 2014. 

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a 

docket for this action under Docket ID 

No. EPA–R05–OAR–2013–0825, which 

includes the petition for 

reconsideration, EPA’s response, and 

other related documents. All documents 

are listed on the www.regulations.gov 

Web site. Publicly available docket
