Instructions: Direct your nominations 

to Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–ORD–2010– 

0195. EPA’s policy is that all 

nominations received will be included 

in the public docket without change, 

and may be made available online at 

http://www.regulations.gov, including 

any personal information provided, 

unless the nomination includes 

information claimed to be Confidential 

Business Information (CBI) or other 

information whose disclosure is 

restricted by statute. Do not submit 

information through http:// 

www.regulations.gov or e-mail that you 

consider to be CBI or otherwise 

protected from disclosure. 

The http://www.regulations.gov Web 

site is an ‘‘anonymous access’’ system,

you provide it in the body of your 

nomination. By contrast, if you send an 

e-mail nomination directly to EPA 

without going through http:// 

www.regulations.gov, your e-mail 

address will be automatically captured 

and included as part of the nomination 

that is placed in the public docket and 

made available on the Internet. If you 

submit a nomination electronically, EPA 

recommends that you include your 

name and other contact information in 

the body of your nomination and with 

any disk or CD–ROM you submit. If EPA 

cannot read your nomination due to 

technical difficulties and cannot contact 

you for clarification, EPA may not be 

able to consider it. Electronic files 

should avoid the use of special 

characters, any form of encryption, and 

be free of any defects or viruses. 

Docket: All documents in the docket 

are listed in the http:// 

www.regulations.gov index under the 

docket number. Even though it will be 

listed by title in the index, some 

information is not publicly available; 

e.g., CBI or other information whose 

disclosure is restricted by statute. 

Copyright material will be publicly 

available only in hard copy. Publicly 

available docket materials are available

Supplementary Information 

Background 

On February 6, 2006, the Agency 

published a final rule for protection of 

human subjects of research (71 FR 24 

6138) that called for creating a new, 

independent human studies review 

board (i.e., HSRB). The HSRB is a 

Federal advisory committee operating in 

accordance with the Federal Advisory 

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

§ 9. The HSRB provides advice, 

information, and recommendations to 

EPA on issues related to scientific and 

ethical aspects of human subjects 

research. The major objectives of the 

HSRB are to provide advice and 

recommendations on: (1) Research 

proposals and protocols; (2) reports of 

completed research with human 

subjects; and (3) how to strengthen 

EPA’s programs for protection of human 

subjects of research. The HSRB reports 

to the EPA Administrator through EPA’s 

Science Advisor. 

This notice solicits nominations of 

individuals with expertise in bioethics, 

biostatistics, human health risk 

assessment and/or human toxicology to 

fill anticipated vacancies on the Board. 

General information concerning the 

HSRB, including its charter, current 

membership, and activities can be found 

on the EPA Web site at http:// 

www.epa.gov/osa/hsrb/. 

Process and Deadline for Submitting 

Nominations 

Any interested person or organization 

may nominate someone to be 

considered as prospective nominees for 

the HSRB. Additional avenues and 

resources may be utilized in the 

solicitation of nominees to encourage a 

broad pool of expertise. Nominees 

should be experts who have sufficient 

professional qualifications, by training 

and experience, to provide expert 

comment on the ethical and scientific 

issues that may come before the HSRB. 

Responsibilities of HSRB members 

include reviewing extensive background 

materials between meetings of the 

Board, preparing draft responses to 

Agency charge questions, attending 

Board meetings, participating in the 

discussion and deliberations at these 

meetings, drafting assigned sections of 

meeting reports, and reviewing and 

helping to finalize Board reports. 

EPA seeks nominees who are 

nationally recognized experts in one or 

more of the following areas: 

• Bioethics: expertise in the ethics of 

research with human subjects. 

• Biostatistics: expertise in statistical 

design and analysis of research with 

human subjects, especially research 

with small sample sizes. 

• Human health risk assessment: 

expertise in epidemiology, exposure 

analysis, public health or human 

research regulations. 

• Human toxicology: expertise in 

toxicity of environmental substances, 

mechanisms of toxicity and/or clinical 

studies. 

All nominations should include: (1) A 

current curriculum vitae (C.V.) 

providing the nominee’s educational 

background, qualifications, leadership 

positions in national associations or 

professional societies, relevant research 

experience and publications; and (2) a 

summary of the above in a one-page 

biographical sketch. 

The qualifications of nominees for 

membership on the HSRB will be 

assessed in terms of the specific 

expertise sought for the HSRB. Qualified 

nominees who agree to be considered 

further will be included in a smaller 

‘‘Short List’’. The Short List of nominees’ 

names and biographical sketches will be 

posted for 14 calendar days for public 

comment on the EPA Web site at http:// 

www.epa.gov/osa/index.htm. The public 

will be encouraged to provide 

additional information about the 

nominees that EPA should consider. At 

the completion of this comment period, 

EPA will select new Board members 

from the Short List. Candidates not 

selected for HSRB membership at this 

time may be considered for HSRB 

membership as vacancies arise in the 

future, or for service as consultants to 

the HSRB. The Agency estimates that 

the names of Short List candidates will 

be posted in March 2010. However, 

please be advised that this is an 

approximate time frame and the date 

could change. Thus, if you have any 

questions concerning posting of Short 

List candidates on the OSA Web site, 

please consult the person listed under 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. 

Interested candidates who are 

employees of a Federal department or 

agency (other than EPA) or are members 

of another federal advisory committee 

are eligible to serve on the HSRB, and 

their nominations are welcome. Other 

factors that will be considered include: 

Availability to participate in the Board’s 

scheduled meetings, absence of any 

conflicts of interest and absence of an 

appearance of a lack of impartiality, and 

independence with respect to the 

matters likely to come under HSRB 

review. Though financial conflicts of 

interest or the appearance of a lack of 

impartiality, lack of independence, or 

bias may lead to nonselection, the 

absence of such concerns does not 

ensure that a candidate will be selected 

to serve on the HSRB. Numerous 

qualified candidates are likely to be 

identified. Selection decisions will 

involve careful weighing of many 

factors, including, but not limited to, the 

candidates’ areas of expertise and 

professional qualifications, and 

responses to the Short List in achieving 

the overall balance of different 

perspectives and areas of expertise on 

the Board. 

Members of the HSRB are subject to 

the provisions of 5 CFR part 2634, 

Executive Branch Financial Disclosure, 

as supplemented by the EPA in 5 CFR 

part 6401. In anticipation of this 

requirement, each nominee will be 


erowe on DSK5CLS3C1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 43 / Friday, March 5, 2010 / Notices 10263 

asked to submit confidential financial 

information which shall fully disclose, 

among other financial interests, the 

candidate’s employment, stocks and 

bonds, and where applicable, sources of 

research support. The information 

provided is confidential and will not be 

disclosed to the public. Before a 

candidate is considered further for 

service on the HSRB, EPA will evaluate 

each candidate to assess whether there 

is any conflict of financial interest, 

appearance of a lack of impartiality, or 

prior involvement with matters likely to 

be reviewed by the Board. 

Nominations should be submitted by 

one of the methods listed under 

ADDRESSES. The Agency will consider 

all nominations received on or before 

March 22, 2010. Final selection of 

members is a discretionary function of 

the Agency and will be announced on 

the EPA Web site at http:// 

www.epa.gov/osa/hsrb as soon as they 

are made.

On January 20, 2010, the Commission 

adopted a First Report and Order In the 

Matter of Review of the Commission’s 

Program Access Rules and Examination 

of Programming Tying Arrangements, 

MB Docket No. 07–198, FCC 10–17. In 

the First Report and Order, the 

Commission establishes rules, policies, 

and procedures for the consideration of 

complaints alleging unfair acts 

involving terrestrially delivered, cable– 

affiliated programming in violation of 

Section 628(b) of the Communications 

Act. The Commission also establishes 

procedures for the consideration of 

requests for a temporary standstill of the 

price, terms, and other conditions of an 

existing programming contract by a 

program access complainant seeking 

renewal of such a contract. 

The following rule sections contain 

revised information collection 

requirements that the Commission is 

seeking approval for from the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB): 

47 CFR Section 76.1001(b)(2) permits 

any multichannel video programming 

distributor to commence an 

adjudicatory proceeding by filing a 

complaint with the Commission alleging 

that a cable operator, a satellite cable 

programming vendor in which a cable 

operator has an attributable interest, or 

a satellite broadcast programming 

vendor, has engaged in an unfair act 

involving terrestrially delivered, cable– 

affiliated programming (which, as 

defined in this R&O, includes exclusive 

contracts, discrimination, and undue or 

improper influence), which must be 

filed and responded to in accordance 

with the procedures specified in Section 

76.7, except to the extent such 

procedures are modified by Sections 

76.1001(b)(2) and 76.1003. In program 

access cases involving terrestrially 

delivered, cable–affiliated programming, 

the defendant has 45 days from the date 

of service of the complaint to file an 

answer, unless otherwise directed by 

the Commission. A complainant shall 

have the burden of proof that the
