Science Advisory Board Staff Office; 

Request for Nominations of Experts To 

Augment the SAB Scientific and 

Technological Achievement Awards 

Committee 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The EPA Science Advisory 

Board (SAB) Staff Office is requesting 

public nominations for scientists and 

engineers to augment the SAB Scientific 

and Technological Achievement 

Awards (STAA) Committee. 

DATES: Nominations should be 

submitted by March 29, 2010 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. Edward Hanlon, Designated Federal 

Officer (DFO), SAB Staff Office, by 

telephone/voice mail at (202) 343–9946; 

by fax at (202) 233–0643 or via e-mail

Advisory Board can be found at the EPA 

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

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. 

EPA’s STAA Program was established 

in 1980 to recognize Agency scientists 

and engineers who published their work 

in the peer-reviewed literature. The 

STAA Program is an annual Agencywide competition to promote and 

recognize scientific and technological 

achievements by EPA employees. The 

STAA program is administered and 

managed by EPA’s Office of Research 

and Development (ORD). ORD requested 

SAB to review scientific publications 

nominated by EPA managers and make 

recommendations to the Administrator 

for STAA awards. The SAB STAA 

Committee, augmented with additional 

experts, will conduct this review and 

provide these recommendations. 

In a Federal Register Notice (Volume 

74, Number 22, Pages 6033–6034) 

published on February 4, 2009, the SAB 

Staff Office solicited public nominations 

to form the SAB STAA Committee that 

would review publications and make 

recommendations for STAA awards 

during 2009, 2010 and 2011. The 2009– 

2011 STAA Committee was formed in 

June 2009 and provided advice to the 

Administrator regarding the 2009 STAA 

awards. 

Request for Nominations: There is a 

need to supplement the STAA 

Committee with additional expertise to 

review the 2010 and 2011 nominations. 

Accordingly, the SAB Staff Office is 

seeking nominations of nationally and 

internationally recognized scientists and 

engineers having experience and 

expertise in ecosystems and ecological 

risk assessment. 

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 ad hoc Committee. 

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. 

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. 

Edward Hanlon, DFO, as indicated 

above in this notice. Nominations 

should be submitted in time to arrive no 

later than March 29, 2010. 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 biosketches 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 

balanced subcommittee or 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 

augmenting this expert ad hoc Panel to 

provide advice and recommendations to 

the Administrator for STAA awards, 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, for the Panel as a 

whole, (f) 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 

between that person’s public 

responsibilities (which includes 

membership on an EPA Federal 

advisory committee) and private 

interests and activities, or the 

appearance of a lack of impartiality, as 

defined by Federal regulation. The form 

may be viewed and downloaded from 

the following URL address http://

www.epa.gov/sab/pdf/epaform3110– 

48.pdf. 

The approved policy under which the 

EPA SAB Office selects subcommittees 

and review panels is described in the 

following document: Overview of the 

Panel Formation Process at the 

Environmental Protection Agency 

Science Advisory Board (EPA–SAB–EC– 

02–010), which is posted on the SAB 

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