59622 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 168 / Tuesday, August 30, 2016 / Notices 

submitted in time to arrive no later than 

September 20, 2016. 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 for the EPEC Augmented for 

Review of Aquatic Life Water Quality 

Criteria Methods on the SAB Web site 

at http://www.epa.gov/sab (see links 

under ‘‘Public Input on Membership’’ at 

the bottom of the SAB home page). 

Public comments on the List of 

Candidates will be accepted for 21 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 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 

forming the augmented EPEC, 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 loss of 

impartiality; (e) skills working in 

committees, subcommittees and 

advisory panels; and, (f) for the panel as 

a whole, diversity of expertise and 

scientific points of view. 

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 Environmental Protection 

Agency Special Government 

Employees’’ (EPA Form 3110–48). This 

confidential form allows government 

officials to determine whether there is a 

statutory conflict between a person’s 

public responsibilities (which include 

membership on an EPA federal advisory 

committee) and private interests and 

activities, or the appearance of a loss of 

impartiality, as defined by federal 

regulation. The form may be viewed and 

downloaded from the following URL

The approved policy under which the 

EPA SAB Office selects members for 

subcommittees and review panels is
