Science Advisory Board Staff Office; 

Notification of a Public Teleconference 

of the Chartered Science Advisory 

Board 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The EPA Science Advisory 

Board (SAB) Staff Office announces a 

public notice for the chartered SAB to 

hold a public teleconference on March 

24, 2010 to conduct quality reviews of 

three draft reports. 

DATES: The public teleconference will 

be held on March 24, 2010 from 1 p.m. 

to 5 p.m. (Eastern Time). 

ADDRESSES: The public teleconference 

will be conducted by telephone only. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Any 

member of the public wishing to obtain 

general information concerning this 

public teleconference should contact Dr. 

Angela Nugent, Designated Federal 

Officer (DFO), EPA Science Advisory 

Board (1400F), 1200 Pennsylvania 

Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20460; 

via telephone/voice mail (202) 343– 

9981; fax (202) 233–0643; or e-mail at 

nugent.angela@epa.gov. General 

information concerning the EPA Science 

Advisory Board can be found on the 

SAB Web site at http://www.epa.gov/ 

sab. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant 

to the Federal Advisory Committee Act, 

5 U.S.C., App. 2 (FACA), notice is 

hereby given that the EPA Science 

Advisory Board will hold a public 

teleconference to conduct quality 

reviews of three draft SAB Panel 

reports: (1) The SAB Drinking Water 

Committee’s draft Review of EPA’s 

Microbial Risk Assessment Protocol; (2) 

the SAB Ecological Processes and 

Effects Committee’s draft Review of 

Empirical Approaches for Nutrient 

Criteria Derivation; and (3) the draft 

Report of the Risk and Technology 

Methods Review Panel. The SAB was 

established pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 4365 

to provide independent scientific and 

technical advice to the Administrator on 

the technical basis for Agency positions 

and regulations. The SAB is a Federal 

Advisory Committee under FACA. The 

SAB will comply with the provisions of 

FACA and all appropriate SAB Staff 

Office procedural policies. 

Background: (1) The SAB Drinking 

Water Committee’s Draft Review of 

EPA’s Microbial Risk Assessment 

Protocol. EPA’s Office of Water (OW) 

conducts microbial risk assessments 

(MRA) as part of its responsibility for 

protecting human health and the 

environment from contaminants in 

water. OW has requested the SAB 

conduct a review of the draft ‘‘Protocol 

for Microbial Risk Assessment for 

Support Human Health Protection for 

Water-Based Media’’ and provide 

recommendations on how to improve 

the overall approach, the applicability 

of the protocol, the reasonableness of 

the protocol, the clarity of the protocol, 

the completeness and robustness of the 

protocol, and the ease of use of the 

protocol for conducting water-based

information about this advisory activity 

can be found on the SAB Web site at 

http://yosemite.epa.gov/sab/ 

sabproduct.nsf/fedrgstr_activites/ 

MRA%20Protocol?OpenDocument. 

(2) SAB Ecological Processes and 

Effects Committee’s Draft Review of 

Empirical Approaches for Nutrient 

Criteria Derivation: Nutrient enrichment 

is one of the leading causes of surface 

water quality impairment in the United 

States. The adoption of numeric 

nutrient criteria in state water quality 

standards for the protection of aquatic 

life is a high priority for EPA’s Office of 

Water. EPA’s OW has requested SAB 

review of the Agency’s draft Technical 

Guidance on Empirical Approaches for 

Numerical Nutrient Criteria 

Development. This draft guidance 

would supplement EPA’s published 

technical guidance for developing 

numeric nutrient water quality by using 

empirically-derived stressor-response 

relationships as the basis for developing 

numeric nutrient endpoints for water 

quality standards.

advisory activity can be found on the 

SAB Web site at http://yosemite.epa.

Guidance?OpenDocument. 

(3) The Draft Report of the Risk and 

Technology Methods Review Panel: 

Section 112(f)(2)(A) of the 1990 Clean 

Air Act Amendments (CAA) requires 

EPA to evaluate whether emission 

standards that were previously adopted 

under the technology-based, Maximum 

Achievable Control Technology (MACT) 

program provide an ample margin of 

safety to protect public health and 

prevent adverse environmental effects 

(taking into consideration costs, energy, 

safety, and other relevant factors). 

Within eight years of the promulgation 

of a MACT standard for the source 

category, EPA is mandated by the CAA 

to assess the risks to determine whether 

additional standards are needed. EPA’s 

Office of Air and Radiation requested 

the SAB to review the draft assessments 

which evaluate the potential risks to 

human health and the environment 

from two source categories (petroleum 

refinery and Portland kiln cement) that 

remain after compliance with MACT.

advisory activity can be found on the

Availability of Meeting Materials: The 

agenda and other materials in support of 

the teleconference will be placed on the 

SAB Web site at http://www.epa.gov/sab 

in advance of the teleconference. 

Procedures for Providing Public Input: 

Interested members of the public may 

submit relevant written or oral 

information for the SAB to consider 

during this teleconference. Oral 

Statements: In general, individuals or 

groups requesting time to make an oral 

presentation at a public SAB 

teleconference will be limited to three 

minutes, with no more than one-half 

hour for all speakers. Those interested 

in being placed on the public speakers 

list should contact Dr. Nugent at the 

contact information provided above by 

March 17, 2010. Written Statements: 

Written statements should be received 

in the SAB Staff Office by March 17, 

2010. Written statements should be 

supplied to the DFO via e-mail to 

nugent.angela@epa.gov (acceptable file 

format: Adobe Acrobat PDF, 

WordPerfect, MS Word, MS PowerPoint, 

or Rich Text files in IBM–PC/ 

Windows98/2000/XP format). 

Submitters are asked to provide versions 

of each document submitted with and 

without signatures, because the SAB 

Staff Office does not publish documents 

with signatures on its Web sites. 

Accessibility: For information on 

access or services for individuals with 

disabilities, please contact Dr. Angela 

Nugent at (202) 343–9981 or 

nugent.angela@epa.gov. To request 

accommodation of a disability, please 

contact her preferably at least 10 days 

prior to the teleconference, to give EPA 

as much time as possible to process 

your request.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. General Information 

A. Does this notice apply to me? 

This notice will be of interest to 

entities regulated under 40 Code of 

Federal Regulations (CFR) parts 60, 61, 

and 63, State, local, and Tribal agencies, 

and EPA Regional Offices responsible 

for implementation and enforcement of 

regulations under 40 CFR parts 60, 61, 

and 63. 

B. How can I get copies of this 

information 

You may access copies of the broadly 

applicable alternative test method 

approval documents from the EPA’s 

Web site at http://www.epa.gov/ttn/emc/ 

approalt.html. 

II. Background 

This notice identifies EPA’s broadly 

applicable alternative test method 

approval decisions issued between 

January 1, 2009, and December 31, 2009, 

under the NSPS, 40 CFR part 60, and 

the NESHAP, 40 CFR parts 61 and 63 

(see Table 1). Source owners and 

operators may voluntarily use these 

broadly applicable alternative test 

methods subject to their specific 

applicability. Use of these broadly 

applicable alternative test methods does 

not change the applicable emission 

standards. 

As explained in a previous Federal 

Register notice published at 72 FR 4257 

(January 30, 2007) and found on the 

EPA’s Web site at http://www.epa.gov/ 

ttn/emc/approalt.html, the EPA 

Administrator has the authority to 

approve the use of alternative test 

methods to comply with requirements 

under 40 CFR parts 60, 61, and 63. This 

authority is found in sections 60.8(b)(3), 

61.13(h)(1)(ii), and 63.7(e)(2)(ii). In the 

past, we have performed thorough 

technical reviews of numerous requests 

for alternatives and modifications to test
