Science Advisory Board; Notification

of Public Advisory Committee Meeting

Pursuant to the Federal Advisory

Committee Act, Public Law 92–463,

notice is hereby given that a committee

of the US EPA Science Advisory Board

(SAB) will meet on the dates and times

noted below. All times noted are Eastern

Daylight Time. All meetings are open to

the public, however, seating is limited

and available on a first come basis.

Important Notice: Documents that are

the subject of SAB reviews are normally

available from the originating EPA office

and are not available from the SAB

Office—information concerning

availability of documents from the

relevant Program Office is included

below.

The Integrated Human Exposure

Committee (IHEC) of the US EPA

Science Advisory Board (SAB), will

meet on July 10–11, 2000 in Meeting

Room A&B, at the Radisson Governors

Inn, P.O. Box 12168, Research Triangle

Park, NC 27709 (located on I–40, Exit

280-Davis Drive. The hotel telephone

number 919–549–8631. The meeting

will begin 9 a.m. on July 10, and

adjourn no later than 5 p.m. on July 11.

Purpose of the Meeting—EPA must be

able to estimate the number of people

exposed to various pollutants (as well as

the magnitude and duration of the

exposure in) order to evaluate the risks

posed by these pollutants in the

environment. To respond to these

needs, EPA’s Office of Research and

Development sponsored three related

pilot studies known as National Human

Exposure Assessment Survey

(NHEXAS). The NHEXAS studies tested

protocols for acquiring population

distributions of exposure measurements

and by developing exposure databases

for use in exposure models, exposure

assessment, and risk assessment. The

IHEC met in September 1998 to assess

these studies and recommend future

courses of action. The report resulting

from this meeting (An SAB Advisory:

The National Human Exposure

Assessment Survey (NHEXAS) Pilot

Studies (EPA–SAB–IHEC–ADV–99–004,

February 1999) included a

recommendation to develop a strategic

plan for completing the analysis of the

NHEXAS pilot data. The EPA drafted

such a plan, intended to provide broad

guidance to EPA decision makers on

resources and to those who would

undertake analyses. EPA subsequently

requested that the IHEC review the draft

strategic plan, resulting in the planned

July meeting.

Charge to the Subcommittee—The

Charge asks the IHEC to respond to the

following four questions:

(a) Does the Strategy encompass all

the significant needed analysis projects?

If not, which should be added or

deleted? (e.g., is the list of projects

good?)

(b) Even if all the projects are optimal,

are they strategically presented and

prioritized? Would alternative strategic

criteria be useful? (e.g., is the

prioritization good?)

(c) Is the Strategy likely to be useful

to ORD management for resource

allocation (e.g., is it of sufficient quality

for managerial use)?

(d) Does the Strategy provide

adequate guidance to scientists for

developing the most useful analysis

tasks?

Availability of Review Materials: The

principal review document, Strategic

Plan for the Analysis of the National

Human Exposure Assessment Survey

(NHEXAS) Pilot Study Data, is available

on the Internet at the SAB website

(http://www.epa.gov/sab), or by request

www.fcc.gov.

I. Background

1. On September 10, 1999, the Federal

Communications Commission

(‘‘Commission’’) issued FCC 99–239

which modified the regulations

governing the licensing of the 218–219

MHz Service (formerly known as IVDS)

to maximize the efficient and effective

use of the band. See, Part 95 of the

Commission’s Rules to Provide

Regulatory Flexibility in the 218–219

MHz Service (218–219 MHz Order) 64

FR 59656 (November 3, 1999). The 218–

219 MHz Order, among other things,

modified service and technical rules for

the band and extended the license term

from five to ten years. The Commission

also adopted a restructuring plan for

existing licensees that: (i) were current

in installment payments as of March 16,

1998; (ii) were less than ninety days

delinquent on the last payment due

before March 16, 1998; or (iii) had

properly filed grace period requests

under the former installment payment

rules (‘‘Eligible Licensees’’). Pursuant to

the restructuring plan, Eligible

Licensees must make elections on a per

license basis, choosing between three

options: (a) Reamortization and

Resumption of Payments; (b) Amnesty;

or (c) Prepayment (Prepayment-Retain

or Prepayment-Return). Eligible

Licensees that fail to submit a valid

election with respect to any license by

the Election Date will be assumed to

have elected Amnesty for all of their

218–219 MHz licenses.

2. ‘‘Ineligible Entities’’ are those

entities that made second down

payments and: (i) made some

installment payments, but were not

current in their installment payments as

of March 16, 1998, and did not have a

grace period request on file in

conformance with the former rules; or

(ii) entities that never made any

installment payments and did not have

a timely filed grace period request on

file. Ineligible Entities are not entitled to

make elections, but will be granted debt

forgiveness for any outstanding balances

owed and have previously paid

installment payments refunded. The

Commission will release a separate

Public Notice detailing the procedures

by which entities may obtain a refund,

with which Ineligible Entities should

become familiar.

3. Under the Federal Claims

Collection Act and related regulations,

only the United States Department of

Justice (‘‘DOJ’’) can compromise a claim

in excess of $100,000. Because many of

the debts subject to the 218–219 MHz

Order exceed $100,000 and involve FCC

licenses subject to common facts and

circumstances, the Commission

recommended that DOJ approve the

compromise of all 218–219 MHz Service

debt as a package. On March 1, 2000,

DOJ notified the Commission of its

decision to approve the debt forgiveness

portion of the 218–219 MHz Order.

II. Procedures for Filing Election

Notices

A. Mailing Address and Election Date

4. Election Notices may be filed with

the Commission from 8:00 a.m. until

7:00 p.m. starting on the date of this

Public Notice and ending at 7:00 p.m.

on the Election Date. The Election Date

will be the last business day of the first

full month after the Order on

Reconsideration, regarding the 218–219

MHz Order, is released by the

Commission. NO ELECTIONS OR

CHANGES TO ELECTIONS WILL BE

ACCEPTED AFTER 7:00 P.M. ON THE
