SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Pursuant to section 10(d) of the 

Federal Advisory Committee Act 

(FACA), 5 U.S.C. App. 2, and section 

(c)(6) of the Government in the 

Sunshine Act, 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(6), the 

EPA has determined that a portion of 

the 2015 STAA Committee meeting will 

be closed to the public. The purpose of 

the closed portion of the 2015 STAA 

Committee meeting is for the 2015 SAB 

STAA Committee to discuss draft 

recommendations regarding recipients 

of the Agency’s 2015 Scientific and 

Technological Achievement Awards. 

The purpose of the open portion of the 

2015 STAA Committee meeting which 

will occur on Friday, July 10, 2015, from 

10 a.m. to 12 p.m. (Eastern Time) is to 

discuss administrative changes to the 

STAA nomination form and procedures, 

and the criteria for deciding which 

STAA nominations merit award. 

The STAA awards are established to 

honor and recognize EPA employees 

who have made outstanding 

contributions in the advancement of 

science and technology through their 

research and development activities, as 

exhibited in publication of their results 

in peer reviewed journals. I have 

determined that a portion of the 2015 

STAA Committee meeting will be 

closed to the public because it is 

concerned with recommending 

employees deserving of awards. In 

making these draft recommendations, 

the SAB requires full and frank advice 

from the 2015 STAA Committee. This 

advice will involve professional 

judgments on the relative merits of 

various employees and their respective 

work. Such personnel matters involve 

the discussion of information that is of 

a personal nature and the disclosure of 

which would be a clearly unwarranted 

invasion of personal privacy and, 

therefore, are protected from disclosure 

by section (c)(6) of the Government in 

the Sunshine Act, 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(6). 

Minutes of the 2015 STAA Committee 

meeting will be kept and certified by the 

chair.

Availability of Meeting Materials 

Prior to the public portion of the 

meeting, the agenda and other materials 

will be accessible through the calendar 

link on the blue navigation bar at 

http://www.epa.gov/sab/. Materials may 

also be accessed at the URL provided 

above. 

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. 

Interested members of the public may 

submit relevant information on the topic 

of the public portion of this advisory 

activity, and/or the group conducting 

the activity, for the SAB to consider 

during the advisory process. Input from 

the public to the SAB will have the most 

impact if it provides specific scientific 

or technical information or analysis for 

SAB committees and panels 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 an SAB public meeting 

will be limited to five minutes. 

Interested parties wishing to provide 

comments at the July 10, 2015 STAA 

Committee public meeting should 

contact Mr. Hanlon, DFO, in writing 

(preferably via email) at the contact 

information noted above by July 2, 2015, 

to be placed on the list of public 

speakers for the public portion of the 

meeting. 

Written Statements: Written 

statements will be accepted throughout 

the advisory process; however, for 

timely consideration by Committee 

members, statements should be 

supplied to Mr. Hanlon, DFO 

(preferably via email) at the contact 

information noted above by July 2, 2015. 

It is the SAB Staff Office general policy 

to post written comments on the Web 

page for advisory meetings. Submitters 

are requested to provide an 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. Hanlon at the contact 

information provided above. To request 

accommodation of a disability, please 

contact Mr. Hanlon preferably at least 

ten days prior to the meeting to give 

EPA as much time as possible to process 

your request.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. What information is EPA particularly 

interested in? 

Pursuant to PRA section 3506(c)(2)(A) 

(44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)), EPA 

specifically solicits comments and 

information to enable it to: 

1. Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the Agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility. 

2. Evaluate the accuracy of the 

Agency’s estimates of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used. 

3. Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected. 

4. Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology, e.g., permitting 

electronic submission of responses. In 

particular, EPA is requesting comments 

from very small businesses (those that 

employ less than 25) on examples of 

specific additional efforts that EPA 

could make to reduce the paperwork 

burden for very small businesses 

affected by this collection.
