Request for Nominations: The SAB 

Staff Office is requesting nominations of 

nationally recognized experts with 

expertise in the assessment of health 

effects for Methanol in one or more of 

the following areas: Metabolism, 

toxicokinetics, toxicology, mechanisms 

of toxicity and carcinogenicity, 

epidemiology, statistics, and risk 

assessment. In addition, the SAB is 

requesting nominations of experts in the 

areas of lymphoma pathology and 

rodent infectious diseases, including 

Mycoplasma pulmonis. 

Process and Deadline for Submitting 

Nominations: Any interested person or 

organization may nominate qualified 

individuals for possible service on the 

Methanol Panel in the areas of expertise 

described above. 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 November 10, 2009. 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 

the Federal Register notice and 

additional experts identified by the SAB 

Staff will be posted on the SAB Web site 

at http://www.epa.gov/sab. Public 

comments on this ‘‘Short 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 

establishing the Methanol Panel, the 

SAB Staff Office will consider public 

comments on the ‘‘Short 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, and balance 

among scientific 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/
