nominations of scientific experts to be 

considered for appointment to the EPA’s 

Science Advisory Board (SAB) 

Agricultural Science Committee to 

provide advice to the Chartered SAB 

regarding matters referred to the SAB 

that will have a significant direct impact 

on farming and agriculture-related 

industries.

email at sanzone.stephanie@epa.gov or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: The chartered SAB (the 

Board) was established in 1978 by the 

Environmental Research, Development 

and Demonstration Authorization Act 

(42 U.S.C. 4365) to provide independent 

advice to the Administrator on general 

scientific and technical matters 

underlying the Agency’ policies and 

actions. Members of the SAB and its 

subcommittees constitute a 

distinguished body of non-EPA 

scientists, engineers, economists, and 

social scientists that are nationally and 

internationally recognized experts in 

their respective fields. Members are 

appointed by the EPA Administrator, 

generally for a period of three years. The 

SAB conducts business in accordance 

with the Federal Advisory Committee 

Act (FACA) (5 U.S.C. App. 2) and 

related regulations. Generally, SAB 

meetings are announced in the Federal 

Register, conducted in public view, and 

provide opportunities for public input 

during deliberations. All the work of the 

SAB subcommittees is performed under 

the direction of the Board. The 

chartered Board provides strategic 

advice to the EPA Administrator on a 

variety of EPA science and research 

programs and reviews and approves all 

SAB subcommittee and panel reports. 

Additional information about the SAB 

Federal Advisory Committees may be 

found at http://www.epa.gov/sab. 

The EPA previously announced (79 

FR 73304–73305, December 10, 2014) 

the opportunity for the public to 

nominate experts to the SAB 

Agricultural Science Committee, with

2015. Due to the high level of interest 

in the new committee from 

organizations in the agricultural sector, 

the EPA has extended the date to 

receive nominations of candidates for 

the committee until March 30, 2015. 

Pursuant to section 12307 of the 

Agricultural Act of 2014 (Pub. L. 133– 

79), the EPA is establishing a new 

agriculture-related standing committee 

of the SAB. The SAB Agricultural 

Science Committee will provide advice 

to the chartered SAB on matters referred 

to the Board that EPA and the Board, in 

consultation with the Secretary of 

Agriculture, determine will have a 

significant direct impact on farming and 

agriculture-related industries. Initial 

appointments to the committee will be 

for a mix of 2 and 3 year terms to ensure 

rotation and staggered terms for future 

years.

Office is seeking nominations of experts

Science Committee with demonstrated

and services; agricultural chemistry;

including soil science; aquaculture 

science; biofuels engineering; 

biotechnology; crop and animal science; 

environmental chemistry; forestry; and

and disciplinary expertise in relevant 

fields;

educational backgrounds, and 

professional affiliations; and 

—For the committee as a whole, 

consideration of the collective breadth 

and depth of scientific expertise; and 

a balance of scientific perspectives. 

As the committee undertakes specific 

advisory activities, the SAB Staff Office
