information concerning the EPA Science

sab. Any inquiry regarding EPA’s Draft 

Oil Spill Research Strategy should be 

directed to Patricia Erickson, EPA Office

erickson.patricia@epa.gov or (513) 569–

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 an ad hoc SAB Panel will 

hold a public meeting to review EPA’s 

Draft Oil Spill Research Strategy. The 

SAB will comply with the provisions of 

FACA and all appropriate SAB Staff 

Office procedural policies. 

The Draft Oil Spill Research Strategy 

discusses proposed research and 

collaborative approaches for four 

activities related to oil spills: 

Dispersants, alternative remediation 

technologies, coastal inland restoration, 

and human health effects. The Deep 

Water Horizon spill identified the need 

for additional research on alternative 

spill response technologies; 

environmental impacts of chemical 

dispersants under deep sea application 

conditions; the fate and toxicity of 

dispersants and dispersed oil; chronic 

health effects for spill response workers 

and the public; and shoreline and 

wetland impacts, restoration and 

recovery. Accordingly, EPA developed 

the research strategy to address these 

needs, as they pertain to EPA’s 

responsibilities for oil spills, and has 

requested that the SAB review their 

draft strategy. 

EPA is seeking SAB review and 

comment regarding the Draft Oil Spill 

Research Strategy. Information about 

formation of the panel and the draft 

strategy can be found at http:// 

yosemite.epa.gov/sab/sabproduct.nsf/

fedrgstr_activites/Oil%20Spill%20

Research%20Strategy?OpenDocument. 

The purpose of the April 11–12, 2011, 

meeting is for the Panel to discuss their 

review comments on EPA’s draft Oil 

Spill Research Strategy. 

Availability of Meeting Materials: The 

agenda and the draft EPA Oil Spill 

Research Strategy will be available on 

the SAB Web site at http:// 

www.epa.gov/sab in advance of the 

meeting. 

Procedures for Providing Public Input: 

Public comment for consideration by 

EPA’s federal advisory committees and 

panels has a different purpose from 

public comment provided to EPA 

program offices. Therefore, the process 

for submitting comments to a federal 

advisory committee is different from the 

process used to submit comments to an 

EPA program office. Federal advisory 

committees and panels, including 

scientific advisory committees, provide 

independent advice to EPA. Members of 

the public can submit comments for a 

federal advisory committee to consider 

as it develops advice for EPA. Input 

from the public to the SAB will have the 

most impact if it consists of comments 

that provide specific scientific or 

technical information or analysis for 

SAB panels to consider or if it relates to 

the clarity or accuracy of the technical 

information included. Members of the 

public wishing to provide comment 

should contact the Designated Federal 

Officer for the relevant advisory 

committee directly. 

Oral Statements: In general, 

individuals or groups requesting an oral 

presentation at this public meeting will 

be limited to five minutes per speaker. 

Interested parties should contact 

Mr. Thomas Carpenter, DFO, in writing 

(preferably via e-mail), at the contact 

information noted above, by March 25, 

2011 to be placed on the list of public 

speakers for the meeting. Written 

Statements: Written statements should 

be received in the SAB Staff Office by 

March 25, 2011 so that the information 

may be made available to the SAB Oil 

Spill Research Review Panel for their 

consideration. Written statements 

should be supplied to the DFO in the 

following formats: One hard copy with 

original signature and one electronic 

copy via e-mail (acceptable file format: 

Adobe Acrobat PDF, WordPerfect, MS 

Word, MS PowerPoint, or Rich Text 

files in IBM–PC/Windows 98/2000/XP 

format). Submitters are requested to 

provide two versions of each document 

submitted: One each with and without 

signatures, because the SAB Staff Office 

does not publish documents with 

signatures on its Web sites. It is the SAB 

Staff Office general policy to post 

written comments on the Web page for 

the advisory meeting or teleconference.

on the Internet. If you submit an 

electronic comment, EPA recommends 

that you include your name and other 

contact information in the body of your 

comment and with any disk or CD–ROM 

you submit. If EPA cannot read your 

comment due to technical difficulties 

and cannot contact you for clarification, 

EPA may not be able to consider your 

comment. Electronic files should avoid 

the use of special characters, any form 

of encryption, and be free of any defects 

or viruses. 

Docket: All documents in the docket

B. What should I consider as I prepare 

my comments for EPA? 

1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this 

information to EPA through 

regulations.gov or e-mail. Clearly mark 

the part or all of the information that 

you claim to be CBI. For CBI 

information in a disk or CD–ROM that 

you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the 

disk or CD–ROM as CBI and then 

identify electronically within the disk or 

CD–ROM the specific information that 

is claimed as CBI. In addition to one 

complete version of the comment that 

includes information claimed as CBI, a 

copy of the comment that does not 

contain the information claimed as CBI 

must be submitted for inclusion in the 

public docket. Information so marked 

will not be disclosed except in 

accordance with procedures set forth in 

40 CFR part 2.
