Science Advisory Board and ORD Board 

of Scientific Counselors (EPA–SAB–12– 

012). 

ORD is now requesting the SAB and 

BOSC to provide advice to inform the 

agency’s development of Strategic 

Research Action Plans to cover the 

period 2016–2019. To address this 

request, the SAB and BOSC have 

planned a series of meetings: (1) A faceto-face meeting on this topic on July 24– 

25, 2014; (2) teleconferences devoted to 

each of the six ORD research so that 

ORD can brief SAB and BOSC members 

on ORD programs and so that SAB and 

BOSC members can discuss ORD’s 

charge to their committees and 

preparations for the July 24–25, 2014 

public meeting; and (3) a teleconference 

for ORD to provide a general 

background briefing on ORD’s mission 

and role for new SAB members on June 

24, 2014. 

Availability of Meeting Materials 

A meeting agenda and other materials 

for the meeting will be placed on the 

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

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 EPA. Members of the public 

can submit relevant comments for a 

federal advisory committee to consider 

as it develops advice for EPA. Interested 

members of the public may submit 

relevant written or oral information on 

the topic of this advisory activity, and/ 

or the group conducting the activity, for 

the SAB and BOSC to consider during 

the advisory process. Input from the 

public to the SAB and BOSC will have 

the most impact if it provides specific 

scientific or technical information or 

analysis for them 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 to 

make an oral presentation at a public 

meeting will be limited to five minutes 

and individuals or groups requesting an 

oral presentation at a public 

teleconference will be limited to three 

minutes. Each person making an oral 

statement should also consider 

providing written comments so that the 

points presented orally can be expanded 

upon in writing. Interested parties 

should contact Dr. Angela Nugent, DFO, 

in writing (preferably via email) at the 

contact information noted above by July 

17, 2014 to be placed on the list of 

public speakers for the joint SAB–BOSC 

public meeting. Parties interested in 

providing oral statements at any of the 

teleconferences should contact Dr. 

Angela Nugent seven days in advance of 

the scheduled teleconference. Written 

Statements: Written statements for the 

joint public meeting should be supplied 

to Dr. Angela Nugent, DFO, via email at 

the contact information noted above by 

July 17, 2014 so that the information 

may be made available to the Panel 

members for their consideration. Parties 

interested in providing written 

comment for consideration at any of the 

teleconferences should contact Dr. 

Angela Nugent seven days in advance of 

the scheduled teleconference. 

Written statements should be 

supplied in one of the following 

electronic formats: Adobe Acrobat PDF, 

MS Word, MS PowerPoint, or Rich Text 

files in IBM–PC/Windows 98/2000/XP 

format. It is the SAB Staff Office general 

policy to post written comments on the 

Web page for advisory meetings or 

teleconferences. 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 Dr. Nugent at the phone number 

or email address noted above, preferably 

at least ten days prior to the meeting, to 

give EPA as much time as possible to 

process your request.

Notification of a Public Teleconference 

of the Chartered Clean Air Scientific 

Advisory Committee (CASAC) 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) Science Advisory Board 

(SAB) Staff Office announces a public 

teleconference of the Chartered Clean 

Air Scientific Advisory Committee 

(CASAC) to conduct quality reviews of 

draft CASAC reports on EPA’s 

Recommendation for an additional 

Federal Reference Method for Ozone 

and on EPA’s Integrated Review Plan for 

the Primary National Ambient Air 

Quality Standard for Sulfur Dioxide. 

DATES: The teleconference will be held 

on Wednesday, July 16, 2014 from 10:00 

a.m. to 1:00 p.m. (Eastern Time). 

Location: The public teleconference 

will be conducted by telephone only. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Any 

member of the public wishing to obtain 

information concerning the public 

teleconference may contact Mr. Aaron 

Yeow, Designated Federal Officer 

(DFO), via telephone at (202) 564–2050 

or at yeow.aaron@epa.gov. General 

information about the CASAC, as well 

as any updates concerning the meeting 

announced in this notice, may be found 

on the EPA Web site at http://

www.epa.gov/casac. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

CASAC was established pursuant to the 

Clean Air Act (CAA) Amendments of 

1977, codified at 42 U.S.C. 7409(d)(2), to 

review air quality criteria and NAAQS 

and recommend any new NAAQS and 

revisions of existing criteria and 

NAAQS as may be appropriate. The 

CASAC shall also provide advice, 

information, and recommendations to 

the Administrator on the scientific and 

technical aspects of issues related to the 

criteria for air quality standards, 

research related to air quality, sources of 

air pollution, and of adverse effects 

which may result from various strategies 

to attain and maintain air quality 

standards. The CASAC is a Federal 

Advisory Committee chartered under 

the Federal Advisory Committee Act 

(FACA), 5 U.S.C., App. 2. Pursuant to 

FACA and EPA policy, notice is hereby 

given that the Chartered CASAC will 

hold a public teleconference to conduct 

quality reviews of draft CASAC reports 

on EPA’s Recommendation for an 

Additional Federal Reference Method

34740 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 117 / Wednesday, June 18, 2014 / Notices 

for Ozone and on EPA’s Integrated 

Review Plan for the Primary National 

Ambient Air Quality Standard for Sulfur 

Dioxide. 

The CASAC quality review process 

ensures that all draft reports developed 

by CASAC panels, committees or 

workgroups are reviewed and approved 

by the Chartered CASAC before being 

finalized and transmitted to the EPA 

Administrator. These reviews are 

conducted in a public meeting or 

teleconference as required by FACA. 

The EPA is proposing the addition of 

the Nitric Oxide (NO)- 

Chemiluminescence method as an 

additional Federal Reference Method 

(FRM) for ozone. The CASAC Air 

Monitoring and Methods Subcommittee 

(AMMS) reviewed the scientific and 

technical aspects of a draft document 

that supports the EPA’s 

recommendation to add the NOChemiluminescence method as an FRM 

and developed the draft report ‘‘Review 

of EPAs Recommendation for an 

Additional Federal Reference Method 

for Ozone-Nitric OxideChemiluminescence’’. The Chartered 

CASAC will conduct a quality review of 

this draft CASAC report. Background 

information about this advisory activity 

can be found on the CASAC Web site at 

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

sabproduct.nsf/fedrgstr_activites/

O3%20FRM%3A%20NOChemiluminescence?OpenDocument. 

The EPA’s Integrated Review Plan for 

the Primary NAAQS for Sulfur Dioxide 

(External Review Draft—March 2014) 

presents the planned approach for the 

review of the primary (health-based) 

NAAQS for sulfur oxides. The CASAC 

Augmented for Sulfur Oxides Panel 

reviewed this document and developed 

the report ‘‘Draft CASAC Review of the 

EPA’s Integrated Review Plan for the 

Primary National Ambient Air Quality 

Standard for Sulfur Dioxide.’’ The 

Chartered CASAC will conduct a quality 

review of this draft CASAC report.

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 EPA. Members of the public 

can submit comments for a federal 

advisory committee to consider as it 

develops advice for EPA. Interested 

members of the public may submit 

relevant written or oral information on 

the topic of this advisory activity, and/ 

or the group conducting the activity, for 

the CASAC to consider during the 

advisory process. Input from the public 

to the CASAC will have the most impact 

if it provides specific scientific or 

technical information or analysis for 

CASAC 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 on a public teleconference 

will be limited to three minutes. Each 

person making an oral statement should 

consider providing written comments as 

well as their oral statement so that the 

points presented orally can be expanded 

upon in writing. Interested parties 

should contact Mr. Aaron Yeow, DFO, 

in writing (preferably via email) at the 

contact information noted above by July 

9, 2014 to be placed on the list of public 

speakers. 

Written Statements: Written 

statements should be supplied to the 

DFO via email at the contact 

information noted above by July 9, 2014 

so that the information may be made 

available to the Panel members for their 

consideration. Written statements 

should be supplied in one of the 

following electronic formats: Adobe 

Acrobat PDF, MS Word, MS 

PowerPoint, or Rich Text files in IBM– 

PC/Windows 98/2000/XP format. It is 

the SAB Staff Office general policy to 

post written comments on the Web page 

for the advisory meeting or 

teleconference. 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 CASAC Web site.
