ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION 

AGENCY 

[FRL–9241–7] 

Science Advisory Board Staff Office; 

Request for Nominations of Experts To 

Augment the SAB Drinking Water 

Committee (DWC) 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The EPA Science Advisory 

Board (SAB) Staff Office is requesting 

public nominations of experts to 

augment the SAB Drinking Water 

Committee (DWC) to review technical 

studies examining the effectiveness of 

partial lead service line replacements. 

DATES: Nominations should be 

submitted by January 11, 2011 per 

instructions below. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Any 

member of the public wishing further 

information regarding this Notice and 

Request for Nominations may contact 

Mr. Aaron Yeow, Designated Federal 

Officer (DFO), SAB Staff Office, by 

telephone/voice mail at (202) 564–2050; 

by fax at (202) 565–2098 or via e-mail 

at ayeow.aaron@epa.gov. General 

information concerning the EPA Science 

Advisory Board can be found on the 

EPA SAB Web site at http:// 

www.epa.gov/sab. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: The SAB (42 U.S.C. 

4365) is a chartered Federal Advisory 

Committee that provides independent 

scientific and technical peer review, 

advice, consultation, and 

recommendations to the EPA 

Administrator on the technical basis for 

EPA actions. As a Federal Advisory 

Committee, the SAB conducts business 

in accordance with the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act (FACA) (5 

U.S.C. App. 2) and related regulations. 

The SAB will comply with the 

provisions of FACA and all appropriate 

SAB Staff Office procedural policies. 

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 

service lines (pipes connecting 

buildings to water distribution mains) 

that are made from lead. Water systems 

must replace the portion of the lead 

service line owned by the system and 

offer to replace the customer’s portion at 

the customer’s cost. When customers do 

not replace their portion of the service 

line, the situation is called 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. SAB’s 

advice will guide EPA’s determination 

of whether the scientific foundation for 

the regulatory requirement allowing the 

use of partial lead service line 

replacement may need to be modified in 

light of more recent scientific studies. 

The SAB Staff Office will augment the 

DWC, which provides advice to the EPA 

Administrator through the chartered 

SAB on the technical aspects of EPA’s 

national drinking water standards 

program, to review these studies. 

Request for Nominations 

To augment expertise on the SAB 

DWC, the SAB Staff Office is seeking 

nominations of recognized experts with 

demonstrated expertise and research in 

one or more of the following areas 

related to lead: environmental 

engineering, drinking water exposure 

assessment, epidemiology, statistics, 

and risk assessment. 

Availability of the review materials: 

The review materials will be made 

available on the SAB Web site. For 

questions concerning the review 

materials, please contact Mr. Matt 

Robinson at (202) 564–2802, or 

robinson.mattm@epa.gov. 

Process and Deadline for Submitting 

Nominations: Any interested person or 

organization may nominate qualified 

individuals in the areas of expertise 

described above for possible service on 

this expert Panel. Nominations should 

be submitted in electronic format 

(which is preferred over hard copy) 

following the instructions for 

‘‘Nominating Experts to Advisory Panels 

and Ad Hoc Committees Being Formed’’ 

provided on the SAB Web site. The 

instructions can be accessed through the 

‘‘Nomination of Experts’’ link on the 

blue navigational bar on the SAB Web 

site at http://www.epa.gov/sab. To 

receive full consideration, nominations 

should include all of the information 

requested below. 

EPA’s SAB Staff Office requests 

contact information about the person 

making the nomination; contact 

information about the nominee; the 

disciplinary and specific areas of 

expertise of the nominee; the nominee’s 

curriculum vita; sources of recent grant 

and/or contract support; and a 

biographical sketch of the nominee 

indicating current position, educational 

background, research activities, and 

recent service on other national 

advisory committees or national 

professional organizations. 

Persons having questions about the 

nomination procedures, or who are 

unable to submit nominations through 

the SAB Web site, should contact Mr. 

Aaron Yeow, DFO, as indicated above in 

this notice. Nominations should be 

submitted in time to arrive no later than 

January 11, 2011. 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 bio-sketches 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 on the SAB Web site at 

http://www.epa.gov/sab. Public 

comments on this List of Candidates 

will be accepted for 21 calendar 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 

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 this expert panel, 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 lack of impartiality; and 

(e) skills working in committees, 

subcommittees and advisory panels; 

and, (f) for the Panel as a whole, 

diversity of expertise and viewpoints. 

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 Special Government Employees 

Serving on Federal Advisory 

Committees at the U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency’’ (EPA Form 3110– 

48). This confidential form allows 

Government officials to determine 

whether there is a statutory conflict
