comments on the project. We will 

update the environmental mailing list as 

the analysis proceeds to ensure that we 

send the information related to this 

environmental review to all individuals, 

organizations, and government entities 

interested in and/or potentially affected 

by the proposed project. 

If we publish and distribute the EA, 

copies will be sent to the environmental 

mailing list for public review and 

comment. If you would prefer to receive 

a paper copy of the document instead of 

the CD version or would like to remove 

your name from the mailing list, please 

return the attached Information Request 

(appendix 2). 

Becoming an Intervenor 

In addition to involvement in the EA 

scoping process, you may want to 

become an ‘‘intervenor’’ which is an 

official party to the Commission’s 

proceeding. Intervenors play a more 

formal role in the process and are able 

to file briefs, appear at hearings, and be 

heard by the courts if they choose to 

appeal the Commission’s final ruling. 

An intervenor formally participates in 

the proceeding by filing a request to 

intervene. Instructions for becoming an 

intervenor are available on the 

Commission’s Web site at http://

www.ferc.gov/help/how-to/

intervene.asp.

and rulemakings. 

In addition, the Commission now 

offers a free service called eSubscription 

which allows you to keep track of all 

formal issuances and submittals in 

specific dockets. This can reduce the 

amount of time you spend researching 

proceedings by automatically providing 

you with notification of these filings, 

document summaries, and direct links 

to the documents. Go to www.ferc.gov/ 

esubscribenow.htm. 

Finally, public meetings or site visits 

will be posted on the Commission’s 

calendar located at www.ferc.gov/

management,’’ the process of learning 

from past decisions to make more 

effective future Great Lakes Restoration 

Initiative (GLRI) decisions. The SIS may 

provide other recommendations, as 

requested by the federal Great Lakes 

Interagency Task Force (IATF) and for 

the benefit of the IATF. Sources in

may be used in the solicitation of 

nominees. 

DATES: Nominations should be 

submitted within June 19, 2015 per 

instructions below. 

ADDRESSES: Submit nominations 

electronically with the subject line ‘‘SIS 

Nomination 2014’’ to cestaric.rita@

nominations by mail to: Rita Cestaric, 

Designated Federal Officer (DFO), U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency, Great 

Lakes National Program Office, 77 W. 

Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rita 

Cestaric, Designated Federal Officer, 

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,

telephone number: (312) 886–6815. 

General information concerning Great 

Lakes restoration and protection and the 

Advisory Board can be found at http:// 

www.glri.us. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: The Board is a federal 

advisory committee chartered under the 

Federal Advisory Committee Act 

(FACA), Public Law 92–463. EPA 

established the Board in 2013 to provide 

independent advice to the EPA 

Administrator in her capacity as Chair 

of the IATF. The Board conducts 

business in accordance with FACA and 

related regulations. The Board consists 

of eighteen experts representing a broad 

range of Great Lakes interests. 

The SIS is being formed to provide 

expert advice on matters related to 

Board work. Specifically, the SIS may 

provide advice on the technical aspects 

of Great Lakes restoration and 

protection including refinement and 

implementation of an Adaptive 

Management Framework under the 

GLRI. It may provide other advice as 

requested, such as domestic 

implementation of the Great Lakes 

Water Quality Agreement (Science) 

Annex 10, the identification of 

significant gaps in Great Lakes scientific 

knowledge, the development and use of 

information systems to assist in 

adaptive management and other matters 

as requested by the federal agencies 

regarding Great Lakes protection and 

restoration. 

The SIS will as needed, but it is 

anticipated to meet in person or by 

teleconference at least two times a year. 

The anticipated workload for members 

will be approximately 100–150 hours 

per year. SIS members may be invited 

to participate in meetings of the Board, 

in addition to participation on the SIS. 

The SIS is anticipated to be composed 

of ten to fifteen members. Federal 

agency representatives may serve as 

advisors to the SIS. EPA will work 

directly with federal agencies to solicit 

qualified federal participants. This 

solicitation is focused exclusively on 

non-Federal candidates for membership. 

Request for Nominations: Nominees 

should be regionally, nationally or 

internationally recognized experts in 

one or more of the following disciplines: 

Ecology, environmental chemistry, 

environmental engineering, geology, 

fisheries and wildlife management, 

public health, social sciences, 

behavioral sciences, economics, and/or 

information management, including 

technological platforms (e.g., 

dashboards) for information delivery. It 

is helpful, but not necessary, to have 

demonstrated experience with Great 

Lakes-specific issues. 

How To Submit Nominations: Any 

interested person or organization may 

nominate qualified individuals for 

appointment to the SIS. Individuals may 

self-nominate. Nominations can be 

submitted in electronic format 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

ADDRESSES section above). To be 

considered, nominations should include 

a cover letter and curriculum vitae. The 

cover letter should include why the 

nominee wishes to be considered and a

expertise of the nominee; sources of 

recent grant and/or contract support; 

current position, educational 

background, research activities, and 

recent service on other national 

advisory committees or national 

professional organizations. 

The SIS will include members who 

possess the necessary domains of 

knowledge and the collective breadth of 

experience to adequately address the 

charge. Selection criteria to be used for 

SIS membership include: (a) Scientific 

and/or technical expertise, knowledge 

and experience; (b) availability and 

willingness to serve; (c) skills working 

in committees, subcommittees and 

advisory panels; and, (d) diversity of 

expertise and viewpoints. EPA values 

and welcomes diversity and encourages 

nominations of women and men of all 

racial and ethnic groups. A SIS that 

includes geographically diverse 

membership will also be a consideration 

by EPA in selecting nominees. 

Individuals having questions about 

the nomination procedures should 

contact Rita Cestaric, DFO, as indicated 

above in this notice. The EPA will 

acknowledge the receipt of all 

nominations. To help the Agency in 

evaluating the effectiveness of its 

outreach efforts, please tell us how you
