Mr. Aaron Yeow, DFO, EPA Science 

Advisory Board Staff Office (1400R), 

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 

1200 Pennsylvania Avenue NW., 

Washington, DC 20460; by telephone/

voice mail at (202) 564–2050 or at 

yeow.aaron@epa.gov. General 

information about the CASAC, as well 

as any updates concerning the meetings 

announced in this notice, may be found 

on the CASAC Web page 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 National 

Ambient Air Quality Standards 

(NAAQS) and recommend any new 

NAAQS and revisions of existing 

criteria and NAAQS as may be 

appropriate. The CASAC is a Federal 

Advisory Committee chartered under 

the Federal Advisory Committee Act 

(FACA), 5 U.S.C., App. 2. Section 

109(d)(1) of the CAA requires that the 

Agency periodically review and revise, 

as appropriate, the air quality criteria 

and the NAAQS for the six ‘‘criteria’’ air 

pollutants, including sulfur oxides. EPA 

is currently reviewing the primary 

(health-based) NAAQS for sulfur 

dioxide (SO2), as an indicator for health 

effects caused by the presence of sulfur 

oxides in the ambient air. Pursuant to 

FACA and EPA policy, notice is hereby 

given that the CASAC Sulfur Oxides 

Panel will hold a public face-to-face 

meeting to review EPA’s Integrated 

Science Assessment for Sulfur Oxides— 

Health Criteria (External Review Draft— 

November 2015). The CASAC Sulfur 

Oxides Panel will hold a public 

teleconference to discuss its draft peer 

review report and the Chartered CASAC 

will discuss the disposition of the 

panel’s report at the end of the 

teleconference. The Chartered CASAC 

and CASAC Sulfur Oxides Panel will 

comply with the provisions of FACA 

and all appropriate SAB Staff Office 

procedural policies. 

Technical Contacts: Any technical 

questions concerning the Integrated 

Science Assessment for Sulfur Oxides— 

Health Criteria (External Review Draft— 

November 2015) should be directed to 

Dr. Tom Long (long.tom@epa.gov), EPA 

Office of Research and Development. 

Availability of Meeting Materials: 

Prior to the meeting, the review 

documents, agenda and other materials 

will be available on the CASAC Web 

page at http://www.epa.gov/casac/. 

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 

at a public face-to-face meeting will be 

limited to five minutes and 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 January 20, 

2016, to be placed on the list of public 

speakers for the face-to-face meeting and 

by March 30, 2016, for the 

teleconference. Written Statements: 

Written statements should be supplied 

to the DFO via email at the contact 

information noted above by January 20, 

2016, for the face-to-face meeting and by 

March 30, 2016, for the teleconference 

so that the information may be made 

available to the Panel members for their 

consideration. 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. 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 Mr. Aaron 

Yeow at (202) 564–2050 or yeow.aaron@

epa.gov. To request accommodation of a 

disability, please contact Mr. Yeow 

preferably at least ten days prior to each 

meeting to give EPA as much time as 

possible to process your request.

the body of your comment and with any 

electronic storage media you submit. If 

the EPA cannot read your comment due 

to technical difficulties and cannot 

contact you for clarification, the EPA 

may not be able to consider your 

comment. Electronic files should avoid 

the use of special characters, any form 

of encryption, and be free of any defects 

or viruses.

advice, information, and 

recommendations to the 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 the Agency’s 

Science Advisor.
