Notification of a Public Teleconference 

of the Science Advisory Board; 

Drinking Water Committee Augmented 

for the Review of the Effectiveness of 

Partial Lead Service Line 

Replacements 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The EPA Science Advisory 

Board (SAB) Staff Office announces a 

public teleconference of the SAB 

Drinking Water Committee Augmented 

for the Review of the Effectiveness of 

Partial Lead Service Line Replacements 

(hereafter referred to as the ‘‘DWC Lead 

Review Panel’’) to discuss its draft 

advisory report entitled ‘‘SAB 

Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Partial 

Lead Service Line Replacements.’’ 

DATES: The SAB DWC Lead Review 

Panel will conduct a public 

teleconference on May 16, 2011. The 

teleconference will begin at 1 p.m. and 

end at 5 p.m. (Eastern Time). 

ADDRESSES: The teleconference will be 

conducted by telephone only. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Any 

member of the public wishing to obtain 

general information concerning the 

public teleconference may contact Mr. 

Aaron Yeow, Designated Federal Officer 

(DFO), via telephone at (202) 564–2050 

or e-mail at yeow.aaron@epa.gov. 

General information concerning the EPA 

Science Advisory Board can be found 

on the EPA Web site at http:// 

www.epa.gov/sab. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 DWC Lead Review 

Panel, a subcommittee of the SAB, will 

hold a public meeting to discuss a draft 

advisory report. The SAB DWC Lead 

Review Panel and the SAB will comply 

with the provisions of FACA and all 

appropriate SAB Staff Office procedural 

policies. 

Background: Exposure to lead through 

drinking water results primarily from 

the corrosion of lead pipes and 

plumbing materials. EPA’s Office of 

Water (OW) promulgated the Lead and 

Copper Rule (LCR) to minimize the 

amount of lead in drinking water. The 

LCR requires water systems that are not 

able to limit lead corrosion through 

treatment to replace the portion of the 

lead service line that it owns. When a 

water system replaces only a portion of 

the lead service line (the portion it 

owns), this is referred to as a partial lead 

service line replacement. OW has 

requested the SAB to review and 

provide advice on recent studies 

examining the effectiveness of partial 

lead service line replacements. OW 

sought advice from the SAB DWC Lead 

Review Panel on March 30–31, 2011 

[see Federal Register Notice dated 

March 10, 2011 (76 FR 13181–13182)]. 

Materials from the March 30–31, 2011 

meeting are posted on the SAB Web site 

at http://yosemite.epa.gov/sab/

The purpose of the upcoming 

teleconference is for the SAB DWC Lead 

Review Panel to discuss its draft 

advisory report. A meeting agenda and 

the draft SAB review report will be 

posted at the above noted SAB Web site 

in advance of the meeting. 

Availability of Meeting Materials: 

Agendas and materials in support of the 

teleconference will be placed on the 

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

in advance of the teleconference. 

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 provides 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. Members of the public 

wishing to provide comment should 

contact the Designated Federal Officer 

directly. 

Oral Statements: In general, 

individuals or groups requesting an oral 

presentation at a teleconference will be 

limited to three minutes. Interested 

parties should contact Mr. Aaron Yeow, 

DFO, in writing (preferably via e-mail) 

at the contact information noted above 

by May 12, 2011, to be placed on the list 

of public speakers for the 

teleconference. 

Written Statements: Written 

statements should be supplied to the 

DFO via e-mail at the contact 

information noted above by May 12, 

2011 for the teleconference so that the 

information may be made available to 

the Panel members for their 

consideration. Written statements 

should be supplied in one of the 

following electronic formats: Adobe 

Acrobat PDF, MS Word, MS 

PowerPoint, or Rich Text files in IBM– 

PC/Windows 98/2000/XP format. It is 

the SAB Staff Office general policy to 

post written comments on the Web page 

for the advisory meeting or 

teleconference. Submitters are requested 

to provide an unsigned version of each 

document because the SAB Staff Office 

does not publish documents with 

signatures on its Web sites. Members of 

the public should be aware that their 

personal contact information, if 

included in any written comments, may 

be posted to the SAB Web site. 

Copyrighted material will not be posted 

without explicit permission of the 

copyright holder. 

Accessibility: For information on 

access or services for individuals with 

disabilities, please contact Mr. Aaron 

Yeow at (202) 564–2050 or 

yeow.aaron@epa.gov. To request 

accommodation of a disability, please 

contact Mr. Yeow preferably at least ten 

days prior to the teleconference to give 

EPA as much time as possible to process 

your request. 

Dated: April 13, 2011. 

Anthony Maciorowski, 

Deputy Director, EPA Science Advisory Staff 

Office.
