17650 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 61 / Wednesday, March 30, 2011 / Notices 

an independent review of EPA’s 

Mercury Technical Support Document. 

As described in that notice, the SAB 

Staff Office was responding to an EPA 

request for peer review of a March 2011 

draft risk assessment for mercury, 

entitled Technical Support Document: 

National-Scale Mercury Risk 

Assessment Supporting the Appropriate 

and Necessary Finding for Coal and OilFired Electric Generating Unit. This 

technical document was developed to 

support a proposed rule concerning 

regulation of hazardous air pollutants 

(HAPs) released from coal-burning 

electric generating units in the United 

States (U.S. EGUs) under Section 

112(n)(1)(A) of the Clean Air Act (CAA). 

This regulation may potentially use a 

Maximally Achievable Control Device 

(MACT) approach to set a technologybased standard for reducing HAP 

emissions. 

The SAB Staff Office has determined 

that the SAB, rather than CASAC, will 

conduct the review. Therefore, the new 

panel will be formed under the 

authority of the SAB. Nominations of 

experts in response to the February 28, 

2011 Federal Register Notice will be 

considered for the new SAB panel and 

the period for nominations will be 

extended. 

Request for Nominations: The SAB 

Staff Office is seeking nominations of 

nationally and internationally 

recognized experts with research 

experience and expertise in the 

following disciplines, particularly 

related to mercury: atmospheric fate, 

transport and modeling; aquatic fate, 

transport and modeling; 

bioaccumulation; human exposure; 

epidemiology; toxicology, including 

reproductive and neurotoxicology, 

biostatistics, and risk assessment. 

EPA contact for background 

information pertaining to this review: 

For questions concerning the 

development of EPA’s mercury 

assessment, on the Web site at http:// 

www.epa.gov/ttn/atw/utility/pro/ 

hg_risk_tsd_3-17-11.pdf, please contact 

Dr. Zachary Pekar at (919) 541–3704 or 

pekar.zachary @epa.gov. 

Process and Deadline for Submitting 

Nominations: Any interested person or 

organization may nominate qualified 

individuals in the areas of expertise 

described above for possible service on 

this expert ad hoc Panel. Nominations 

should be submitted in electronic 

format (which is preferred over hard 

copy) following the instructions for 

‘‘Nominating Experts to Advisory Panels 

and Ad Hoc Committees Being Formed’’ 

provided on the SAB Web site. The 

instructions can be accessed through the 

‘‘Nomination of Experts’’ link on the 

blue navigational bar on the SAB Web 

site at http://www.epa.gov/sab. To 

receive full consideration, nominations 

should include all of the information 

requested. 

EPA’s SAB Staff Office requests: 

contact information about the person 

making the nomination; contact 

information about the nominee; the 

disciplinary and specific areas of 

expertise of the nominee; the nominee’s 

curriculum vita; sources of recent grant 

and/or contract support; and a 

biographical sketch of the nominee 

indicating current position, educational 

background, research activities, and 

recent service on other national 

advisory committees or national 

professional organizations. 

Persons having questions about the 

nomination procedures, or who are 

unable to submit nominations through 

the SAB Web site, should contact Dr. 

Angela Nugent, DFO, as indicated above 

in this notice. Nominations should be 

submitted in time to arrive no later than 

April 6, 2011. 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 EPA SAB Staff Office will 

acknowledge receipt of nominations. 

The names and biosketches of qualified 

nominees identified by respondents to 

this Federal Register notice, and 

additional experts identified by the SAB 

Staff, will be posted in a List of 

Candidates on the SAB Web site at 

http://www.epa.gov/sab. Public 

comments on this List of Candidates 

will be accepted for 21 calendar days. 

The public will be requested to provide 

relevant information or other 

documentation on nominees that the 

SAB Staff Office should consider in 

evaluating candidates. 

For the EPA SAB Staff Office, a 

balanced subcommittee or review panel 

includes candidates who possess the 

necessary domains of knowledge, the 

relevant scientific perspectives (which, 

among other factors, can be influenced 

by work history and affiliation), and the 

collective breadth of experience to 

adequately address the charge. In the 

SAB Mercury Technical Support 

Document Review Panel, the SAB Staff 

Office will consider public comments 

on the List of candidates, information 

provided by the candidates themselves, 

and background information 

independently gathered by the SAB 

Staff Office. Selection criteria to be used 

for Panel membership include: (a) 

Scientific and/or technical expertise, 

knowledge, and experience (primary 

factors); (b) availability and willingness 

to serve; (c) absence of financial 

conflicts of interest; (d) absence of an 

appearance of a lack of impartiality; and 

(e) skills working in committees, 

subcommittees and advisory panels; 

and, for the Panel as a whole, (f) 

diversity of expertise and viewpoints. 

The SAB Staff Office’s evaluation of 

an absence of financial conflicts of 

interest will include a review of the 

‘‘Confidential Financial Disclosure Form 

for Special Government Employees 

Serving on Federal Advisory 

Committees at the U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency’’ (EPA Form 3110– 

48). This confidential form allows 

Government officials to determine 

whether there is a statutory conflict 

between that person’s public 

responsibilities (which includes 

membership on an EPA Federal 

advisory committee) and private 

interests and activities, or the 

appearance of a lack of impartiality, as 

defined by Federal regulation. The form 

may be viewed and downloaded from 

the following URL address at http:// 

www.epa.gov/sab/pdf/epaform3110- 

48.pdf. 

The approved policy under which the 

EPA SAB Office selects subcommittees 

and review panels is described in the 

following document: Overview of the 

Panel Formation Process at the 

Environmental Protection Agency 

Science Advisory Board (EPA–SAB–EC– 

02–010), which is posted on the SAB 

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