information concerning the meeting 

may contact Mr. Thomas Carpenter, 

Designated Federal Officer (DFO), EPA 

Science Advisory Board (1400R), U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency, 1200 

Pennsylvania Avenue NW., Washington, 

DC 20460; via telephone/voice mail 

(202) 564–4885, or email at 

carpenter.thomas@epa.gov. General 

information concerning the SAB can be 

found on the EPA Web site at http://

www.epa.gov/sab. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: The SAB was 

established pursuant to the 

Environmental Research, Development, 

and Demonstration Authorization Act 

(ERDDAA), codified at 42 U.S.C. 4365, 

to provide independent scientific and 

technical advice to the Administrator on 

the scientific and 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. The SAB will comply with the 

provisions of FACA and all appropriate 

SAB Staff Office procedural policies. 

Pursuant to FACA and EPA policy, 

notice is hereby given that the SAB will 

hold a public meeting to discuss and 

deliberate on the topics below. 

(1) Quality Review of a Draft SAB 

Report on EPA’s Proposed Methodology 

for Mortality Risk Valuation Estimates 

for Policy Analysis 

The EPA’s Office of Policy requested 

advice on proposed improvements to 

the Agency’s methodology for 

estimating benefits associated with 

reduced risk of mortality. This 

methodology takes into account the 

amounts that individuals are willing to 

pay for reductions in mortality risk. The 

resulting values are combined into an 

estimate known as the value of 

statistical life (VSL) which is used in 

regulatory benefit-cost analysis. The 

EPA has also requested that the SAB 

review options for accounting for 

changes in the VSL over time as real 

income grows, known as income 

elasticity of willingness to pay. 

The chartered SAB will conduct a 

quality review of the committee’s draft 

report before it is transmitted to the EPA 

Administrator. The SAB quality review 

process ensures that all draft reports 

developed by SAB panels, committees 

or workgroups are reviewed and 

approved by the Chartered SAB before 

being finalized and transmitted to the 

EPA Administrator. These reviews are 

conducted in a public meeting as 

required by FACA. 

Background on the current advisory 

activity, Valuing Mortality Risk 

Reductions for Policy: Proposed 

Updates to Valuation and Income 

Elasticity Estimates can be found on the 

SAB Web site at http://

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

fedrgstr_activites/Valuing%20fatal%20

risk%20for%20policy?OpenDocument. 

(2) Discussion of Information on the 

Agency’s Semiannual Regulatory 

Agenda 

As part of the EPA’s effort to routinely 

inform the SAB about proposed and 

planned agency actions that have a 

scientific or technical basis, the agency 

provided notice to the SAB that the 

Office of Management and Budget 

published the ‘‘Unified (Regulatory) 

Agenda’’ on the Web on May 18, 2016 

available at http://www.reginfo.gov/ 

public/do/eAgendaMain. 

The SAB convened a Work Group to 

review information provided in the 

agency’s Spring 2016 regulatory agenda 

regarding EPA planned actions and their 

supporting science. The SAB will 

discuss recommendations and 

information developed by the Work 

Group regarding the adequacy of the 

science supporting the planned actions.

can be found on the Web at http://

%20Reg%20Agenda?OpenDocument. 

(3) Discussion of Information About 

Shipboard Treatment Efficacy in the 

SAB Report, Efficacy of Ballast Water 

Treatment Systems: A Report by the 

Science Advisory Board 

The SAB will discuss 

recommendations and information 

developed by a Work Group regarding 

the conclusions about shipboard 

treatment efficacy in the SAB report, 

Efficacy of Ballast Water Treatment 

Systems: A Report by the Science 

Advisory Board (EPA–SAB–11–009). 

The SAB convened a Work Group to 

gather and review information on the 

report’s underlying data and related 

conclusions. The SAB is not seeking 

new data regarding ballast water 

treatment system efficacy and will focus 

its discussion on the data and 

information available for the report.

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. 

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 the EPA. Members of the 

public can submit relevant comments 

pertaining to the EPA’s charge, meeting 

materials, or the group providing 

advice. Input from the public to the SAB 

will have the most impact if it provides 

specific scientific or technical 

information or analysis for the SAB 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 

DFO directly. 

Oral Statements: In general, 

individuals or groups requesting an oral 

presentation at a public meeting will be 

limited to five minutes. Persons 

interested in providing oral statements 

at the November 30–December 1, 2016, 

meeting should contact Mr. Thomas 

Carpenter, DFO, in writing (preferably 

via email) at the contact information 

noted above by November 21, 2016 to be 

placed on the list of registered speakers. 

Written Statements: Written 

statements for the November 30– 

December 1, 2016, meeting should be 

received in the SAB Staff Office by 

November 21, 2016, so that the 

information can be made available to 

the SAB for its consideration prior to 

the meeting. Written statements should 

be supplied to the DFO at the contact 

information above via email (preferred) 

or in hard copy with original signature. 

Submitters are requested to provide a 

signed and 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. 

Carpenter at the phone number or email 

address noted above, preferably at least 

ten days prior to the meeting, to give the 

EPA as much time as possible to process 

your request.
