11246 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 40 / Tuesday, March 1, 2011 / Notices 

draft advisory report that responds to 

charge questions about the effectiveness 

and reliability of ballast water treatment 

technologies and ways to improve 

future assessments of ballast water 

treatment systems in order to protect 

waters from the risk of invasive species 

and to be protective of Clean Water Act 

standards. The SAB will comply with 

the provisions of FACA and all 

appropriate SAB Staff Office procedural 

policies. 

Background: Vessel ballast water 

discharges are a major source of 

nonidigenous species introductions to 

marine, estuarine, and freshwater 

ecosystems of the United States. Ballast 

water discharges are regulated by EPA 

under authority of the Clean Water Act 

(CWA) and the U.S. Coast Guard under 

authority of the Nonindigenous Aquatic 

Nuisance Prevention and Control Act, as 

amended (NANPCA). 

EPA’s Office of Water (OW) requested 

that the SAB review technical 

documents and available data on the 

effectiveness of ballast water treatment 

systems and provide advice on 

improving the performance of such 

systems. The SAB EPEC previously met 

on July 29–30, 2010; held public 

teleconferences on October 26, and 

November 4, 2010; and met on Jan. 25– 

26, 2011. Additional information about 

this advisory activity may be found on 

the SAB Web site at http:// 

yosemite.epa.gov/sab/sabproduct.nsf/ 

fedrgstr_activites/ 

BW%20discharge?OpenDocument. The 

purpose of the two teleconferences on 

March 15, 2011 and March 16, 2011 is 

for the Committee to discuss their draft 

advisory report. 

Availability of Teleconference 

Materials: The teleconference agenda 

and other materials in support of the 

meeting will be posted on the SAB Web 

site at http://www.epa.gov/sab in 

advance of the meeting. 

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. They 

should send their comments directly to 

the Designated Federal Officer for the 

relevant advisory committee. 

Oral Statements: In general, 

individuals or groups requesting an oral 

presentation at a public teleconference 

will be limited to five minutes per 

speaker. Interested parties should 

contact Ms. Goodman, DFO, in writing 

(preferably via e-mail) at the contact 

information noted above by March 7, 

2011, to be placed on a list of public 

speakers for the meeting. Written 

Statements: Written statements should 

be received in the SAB Staff Office no 

later than March 7, 2011 so that the 

information may be made available to 

the SAB Committee members for their 

consideration. Written statements 

should be supplied to the DFO in the 

following formats: one hard copy with 

original signature, and one electronic 

copy via e-mail (acceptable file format: 

Adobe Acrobat PDF, WordPerfect, MS 

Word, MS PowerPoint, or Rich Text 

files in IBM–PC/Windows 98/2000/XP 

format). Submitters are requested to 

provide two 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 Ms. 

Goodman at the phone number or e-mail 

address noted above, preferably at least 

ten days prior to the meeting to give 

EPA as much time as possible to process 

your request.

Governors of the Federal Reserve 

System (Board) its approval authority 

under the Paperwork Reduction Act 

(PRA), as per 5 CFR 1320.16, to approve 

of and assign OMB control numbers to 

collection of information requests and

by the Board under conditions set forth

files. The Federal Reserve may not 

conduct or sponsor, and the respondent 

is not required to respond to, an 

information collection that has been 

extended, revised, or implemented on or 

after October 1, 1995, unless it displays 

a currently valid OMB control number.
