ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION 

AGENCY 

[FRL–9901–43–OA] 

Notification of Two Public 

Teleconferences of the Chartered 

Science Advisory Board 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The EPA Science Advisory 

Board (SAB) Staff Office announces two 

public teleconferences of the Chartered 

Science Advisory Board Panel to 

discuss information about EPA actions 

provided in the Spring 2013 Unified 

(Regulatory) Agenda. 

DATES: The public teleconferences will 

be held on Friday, October 25, 2013 

from 1:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. (Eastern 

Time) and on Wednesday, October 30, 

2013 from 1:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. 

(Eastern Time). 

Location: The public teleconference 

will be conducted by telephone only. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Any 

member of the public wishing to obtain 

information concerning the public 

teleconferences may contact Dr. Angela 

Nugent, Designated Federal Officer 

(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) 564–2218 

or at nugent.angela@epa.gov. General 

information about the SAB as well as 

any updates concerning the 

teleconferences announced in this 

notice may be found on the EPA Web 

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The SAB 

was established pursuant to the 

Environmental Research, Development, 

and Demonstration Authorization Act 

(ERDDAA), codified at 42 U.S.C. 4365, 

to provide independent scientific and 

technical advice to the Administrator on 

the technical basis for Agency positions 

and regulations. The SAB is a Federal 

Advisory Committee chartered under 

the Federal Advisory Committee Act 

(FACA), 5 U.S.C., App. 2. The SAB will 

comply with the provisions of FACA 

and all appropriate SAB Staff Office 

procedural policies. Pursuant to FACA 

and EPA policy, notice is hereby given 

that the SAB will hold two public 

teleconferences to discuss and 

deliberate on the topic below. 

As part of the EPA’s effort to routinely 

inform the SAB about proposed and 

planned agency actions that have a 

scientific or technical basis, the agency 

provided notice to the SAB that the 

Office of Management and Budget 

published the ‘‘Unified (Regulatory) 

Agenda’’ on the Web on July 3, 2013 

(http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/

eAgendaMain). 

During the October 25, 2013 

teleconference, the SAB will discuss 

whether it should provide advice and 

comment on the adequacy of the 

scientific and technical basis for EPA 

actions included in the Agenda. The 

October 30, 2013 teleconference will be 

held only if the chartered SAB has not 

completed its deliberations at the close 

of the October 25, 2013 discussion. 

Availability of Meeting Materials: 

Agendas and materials in support of 

these teleconferences will be placed on 

the EPA Web site at http://

www.epa.gov/sab in advance of the 

teleconferences. 

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. Input from the 

public to the SAB will have the most 

impact if it provides specific scientific 

or technical information or analysis for 

SAB 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 Designated Federal Officer 

directly. Oral Statements: In general, 

individuals or groups requesting an oral 

presentation at a 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 Dr. Angela Nugent, DFO, 

in writing (preferably via email) at the 

contact information noted above by 

October 18, 2013, 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 

October 18, 2013 so that the information 

may be made available to the Board 

members for their consideration. 

Written statements should be supplied 

in one of the following electronic 

formats: Adobe Acrobat PDF, MS Word, 

MS PowerPoint, or Rich Text files in 

IBM–PC/Windows 98/2000/XP format. 

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 SAB 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 Dr. Angela 

Nugent at (202) 564–2218 or 

nugent.angela@epa.gov. To request 

accommodation of a disability, please 

contact Dr. Nugent preferably at least 

ten days prior to the teleconference to 

give EPA as much time as possible to 

process your request. 

Dated: September 19, 2013. 

Thomas H. Brennan, 

Deputy Director, EPA Science Advisory Staff 

Office.
