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

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 telephonenumber. 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.
