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 meeting will be 

limited to five 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 May 

26, 2015 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 May 26, 

2015 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On February 6, 2006, the Agency 

published a final rule for the protection 

of human subjects in research (71 FR 24 

6138) that called for creating a new, 

independent human studies review 

board (i.e., HSRB). The HSRB is a 

federal advisory committee operating in 

accordance with the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act (FACA) 5 U.S.C. App. 2 

section 9 (Public Law 92–463). The 

HSRB provides advice, information, and 

recommendations to 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 that 

include human subjects; (2) reports of 

completed research with human 

subjects; and (3) how to strengthen 

EPA’s programs for protection of human 

subjects of research. Typically, the 

HSRB reviews protocols and completed 

studies involving pesticide studies, such 

as worker exposure studies with 

agricultural handlers applying 

pesticides in field conditions; janitorial 

maintenance personnel applying 

antimicrobial pesticides in commercial 

settings; and field efficacy studies for 

skin applied insect repellent products. 

The HSRB reports to the EPA 

Administrator through EPA’s Science 

Advisor. General information 

concerning the HSRB, including its 

charter, current membership, and 

activities can be found on the EPA Web 

site at http://www.epa.gov/osa/hsrb/. 

HSRB members serve as special 

government employees or regular 

government employees. Members are 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 79 / Friday, April 24, 2015 / Notices 22995 

appointed by the EPA Administrator for 

either two or three year terms with the 

possibility of reappointment for 

additional terms, with a maximum of 

six years of service. The HSRB typically 

meets up to four times a year and the 

average workload for HSRB members is 

approximately 25 to 30 hours per 

meeting, including the time spent at the 

meeting. Responsibilities of HSRB 

members include reviewing extensive 

background materials prior to meetings 

of the Board, preparing draft responses 

to Agency charge questions, attending 

Board meetings, participating in the 

discussion and deliberations at these 

meetings, drafting assigned sections of 

meeting reports, and assisting 

finalization of Board reports. EPA 

compensates special government 

employees for their time and provides 

reimbursement for travel and other 

incidental expenses associated with 

official government business. 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 qualifications of nominees for 

membership on the HSRB will be 

assessed in terms of the specific 

expertise sought for the HSRB. Qualified 

nominees who agree to be considered 

further will be included in a ‘‘Short 

List’’. The Short List of nominee names 

and biographical sketches will be posted 

for 14 calendar days for public comment 

on the HSRB Web site: http://

www.epa.gov/osa/hsrb/index.htm. The 

public will be encouraged to provide 

additional information about the 

nominees that EPA should consider. At 

the completion of the comment period, 

EPA will select new Board members 

from the Short List. Candidates not 

selected for HSRB membership at this 

time may be considered for HSRB 

membership as vacancies arise in the 

future or for service as consultants to 

the HSRB. The Agency estimates that 

the names of Short List candidates will 

be posted in June 2015. However, please 

be advised that this is an approximate 

time frame and the date is subject to 

change. If you have any questions 

concerning posting of Short List 

candidates on the HSRB Web site, 

please consult the person listed under 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. 

Members of the HSRB are subject to 

the provisions of 5 CFR part 2634, 

Executive Branch Financial Disclosure, 

as supplemented by the EPA in 5 CFR 

part 6401. In anticipation of this 

requirement, each nominee will be 

asked to submit confidential financial 

information that fully discloses, among 

other financial interests, the candidate’s 

employment, stocks and bonds, and 

where applicable, sources of research 

support. The information provided is 

strictly confidential and will not be 

disclosed to the public. Before a 

candidate is considered further for 

service on the HSRB, EPA will evaluate 

each candidate to assess whether there 

is any conflict of financial interest, 

appearance of a lack of impartiality, or 

prior involvement with matters likely to 

be reviewed by the Board. 

Nominations will be evaluated on the 

basis of several criteria, including: the 

professional background, expertise and 

experience that would contribute to the 

diversity of perspectives of the 

committee; interpersonal, verbal and 

written communication skills and other 

attributes that would contribute to the 

HSRB’s collaborative process; consensus 

building skills; absence of any financial 

conflicts of interest or the appearance of 

a lack of impartiality, or lack of 

independence, or bias; and the 

availability to participate in meetings 

and administrative sessions, participate 

in teleconferences, develop policy 

recommendations to the Administrator, 

and prepare recommendations and 

advice in reports. 

Nominations should include a resume 

or curriculum vitae providing the 

nominee’s educational background, 

qualifications, leadership positions in 

national associations or professional 

societies, relevant research experience 

and publications along with a short (one 

page) biography describing how the 

nominee meets the above criteria and 

other information that may be helpful in 

evaluating the nomination, as well as 

the nominee’s current business address, 

email address, and daytime telephone 

number. Interested candidates may selfnominate. 

To help the Agency in evaluating the 

effectiveness of its outreach efforts, 

nominees are requested to inform the 

Agency of how you learned of this 

opportunity. 

Final selection of HSRB members is a 

discretionary function of the Agency 

and will be announced on the HSRB 

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

hsrb/index.htm as soon as selections are 

made.
