affected facility, or any period during 

which the monitoring system is 

inoperative. Reports are required 

semiannually at a minimum. 

Form Numbers: None 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Owners or operators of electric arc 

furnace steelmaking facilities. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart 

YYYYY) 

Estimated number of respondents: 91 

(total). 

Frequency of response: Initially, 

semiannually and occasionally. 

Total estimated burden: 1,481 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b) 

Total estimated cost: $138,991 (per 

year), includes $0 annualized capital or 

operation & maintenance costs. 

Changes in Estimates: There is no 

change in the labor hours in this ICR 

compared to the previous ICR. This is 

due to two considerations: (1) The 

regulations have not changed over the 

past three years and are not anticipated 

to change over the next three years; and 

(2) the growth rate for the respondents 

is very low, negative or non-existent. 

Therefore, the labor hours in the 

previous ICR reflect the current burden 

to the respondents and are reiterated in 

this ICR. However, there is an increase 

in burden costs due to an adjustment in 

labor rates.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

October 13, 2005, the final Cross-Media 

Electronic Reporting Rule (CROMERR) 

was published in the Federal Register 

(70 FR 59848) and codified as part 3 of 

title 40 of the CFR. CROMERR 

establishes electronic reporting as an 

acceptable regulatory alternative to 

paper reporting and establishes 

requirements to assure that electronic 

documents are as legally dependable as 

their paper counterparts. Subpart D of 

CROMERR requires that state, tribal or 

local government agencies that receive, 

or wish to begin receiving, electronic 

reports under their EPA-authorized 

programs must apply to EPA for a 

revision or modification of those 

programs and obtain EPA approval. 

Subpart D provides standards for such 

approvals based on consideration of the 

electronic document receiving systems 

that the state, tribe, or local government 

will use to implement the electronic 

reporting. Additionally, § 3.1000(b) 

through (e) of 40 CFR part 3, subpart D 

provides special procedures for program 

revisions and modifications to allow 

electronic reporting, to be used at the 


wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

option of the state, tribe or local 

government in place of procedures 

available under existing programspecific authorization regulations. An 

application submitted under the subpart 

D procedures must show that the state, 

tribe or local government has sufficient 

legal authority to implement the 

electronic reporting components of the 

programs covered by the application 

and will use electronic document 

receiving systems that meet the 

applicable subpart D requirements. 

On October 10, 2012, the Nevada 

Division of Environmental Protection 

(NDEP) submitted an application titled 

‘‘Network Discharge Monitoring Report 

System’’ for revision of its EPAauthorized authorized Part 123 program 

under title 40 CFR. EPA reviewed 

NDEP’s request to revise its EPAauthorized Part 123—National Pollutant 

Discharge Elimination System program 

and, based on this review, EPA 

determined that the application met the 

standards for approval of authorized 

program revision set out in 40 CFR part 

3, subpart D. In accordance with 40 CFR 

3.1000(d), this notice of EPA’s decision 

to approve Nevada’s request to revise its 

Part 123—National Pollutant Discharge 

Elimination System program to allow 

electronic reporting under 40 CFR part 

122 is being published in the Federal 

Register. 

NDEP was notified of EPA’s 

determination to approve its application 

with respect to the authorized program 

listed above.

Human Studies Review Board 

Advisory Committee 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Request for Nominations to the 

Human Studies Review Board (HSRB) 

Advisory Committee. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) invites 

nominations from a diverse range of 

qualified candidates with expertise in 

bioethics, biostatistics and human 

health risk assessment to be considered 

for appointment to its Human Studies 

Review Board (HSRB) advisory 

committee. Anticipated vacancies will 

be filled by September 1, 2013. Sources 

in addition to this Federal Register 

Notice may also be utilized in the 

solicitation of nominees. 

Background: On February 6, 2006, the 

Agency published a final rule for the 

protection of human subjects in research 

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 

§ 9 (Pub. L. 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. 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 

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 usually 

meets up to four times a year and the 

typical workload for HSRB members is 

approximately 40 to 50 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 helping to finalize 

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 July 2013. 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 attend 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
