SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: The SAB was 

established pursuant to the 

Environmental Research, Development, 

and Demonstration Authorization Act 

(ERDAA), codified at 42 U.S.C. 4365, to 

provide independent scientific and 

technical advice to the Administrator on 

the technical basis for Agency positions 

and regulations. The SAB is a Federal 

Advisory Committee chartered under 

the Federal Advisory Committee Act 

(FACA), 5 U.S.C., App. 2. Pursuant to 

FACA and EPA policy, notice is hereby 

given that the SAB will hold a public 

meeting to consider a draft report on the 

President’s requested FY 2012 budget 

for research and to discuss SAB plans to 

provide advice on ORD strategic 

research directions. The SAB will 

comply with the provisions of FACA 

and all appropriate SAB Staff Office 

procedural policies. 

As announced in the Federal Register 

(76 FR 7198–7199), an SAB Research 

Budget Work Group met on March 3–4, 

2011 to review the President’s requested 

Fiscal Year 2012 research budget for 

EPA. The chartered SAB will discuss 

the work group’s draft report and reach 

agreement on comments to provide the 

EPA Administrator and the Congress on 

the adequacy of the President’s 

requested research budget for the next 

fiscal year in light of EPA’s research 

needs. 

Since the last meeting of the chartered 

SAB on September 22–22, 2010 (75 FR 

52940–52941), ORD has restructured its 

research program into six major program 

areas: Air, Climate, and Energy; Safe 

and Sustainable Water Resources; 

Sustainable and Healthy Communities; 

Chemical Safety and Sustainability; 

Human Health Risk Assessment; and 

Homeland Security. The chartered SAB 

will receive an update on 

implementation of these new program 

areas and initiate discussions with ORD 

and representatives of ORD’s Board of 

Scientific Councilors about plans to 

review ORD’s new strategic research 

directions. 

Availability of Meeting Materials: A 

meeting agenda and other materials for 

the meeting will be placed on the SAB 

Web site at http://epa.gov/sab.
