comment on these documents (Ref. 4, 

see also http://www.epa.gov/oppt/nano/ 

nmspfr.htm). 

EPA is holding this public scientific 

peer consultation meeting to assist in 

elaborating characteristics used to 

describe nanoscale materials for the 

purposes of the NMSP. The public 

meeting will involve peer panel 

discussions of EPA’s discussion paper 

on possible material characteristics for 

the NMSP, with time allotted for public 

comment. EPA will place the discussion 

paper on possible material 

characteristics for nanoscale materials 

and the agenda for the meeting in the 

public docket, and on the OPPT 

nanotechnology website, 

Nanotechnology under the Toxic 

Substances Control Act, at http:// 

epa.gov/oppt/nano/index.htm. 

For further information on input EPA 

has received or solicited regarding 

development of the stewardship 

program, see the Federal Register issues 

of May 10, 2005 (70 FR 24574–24576) 

(FRL–7700–7), October 4, 2006 (71 FR 

58601–58603) (FRL–8070–3), and July 

12, 2007 (72 FR 38083) (FRL–8139–2) 

and (72 FR 38079) (FRL–8140–2), as 

well as the National Pollution 

Prevention and Toxics Advisory 

Committee (NPPTAC) Overview 

Document (Ref.1). 

III. Discussion Items for EPA and 

Stakeholder Consideration 

EPA has identified the following 

discussion items on material 

characterization for nanoscale materials 

for which your consideration and 

comment are specifically requested: 

1. Description of nanoscale materials 

(e.g., types, categories). 

2. Physical-chemical properties of 

potential interest (e.g., particle size/ 

shape/distribution/dimensions, 

agglomeration, aggregation, surface area, 

etc.). 

3. Design to achieve unique properties 

(e.g., manufacturing, processing, 

chemical transformations). 

4. Obtaining characterization data for 

nanoscale materials (e.g., analytical 

methods, models). 

5. Metrology (e.g., methods validation, 

standards, and harmonization). 

6. Prioritization of characterization 

data and data gaps. 

In addition, EPA is requesting 

information on characterization or 

methodology currently used for 

nanoscale materials. The Agency is also 

seeking comment on characterization or 

methodology that could potentially be 

used for nanoscale materials in the basic 

or the in-depth phases of the NMSP that 

were described in the ‘‘Concept Paper 

for the Nanoscale Materials Program 

under TSCA,’’ including the rationale 

for such use and any relevant issues 

(Ref. 4). 

IV. How Can I Request to Participate in 

this Meeting? 

You may register for the meeting 

electronically through EPA’s website at 

http://www.epa.gov/oppt/nano on or 

before August 31, 2007. Advance 

requests will assist in planning adequate 

seating; however, members of the public 

may attend without prior registration. 

You may submit a request to present 

oral comments in this meeting to the 

technical person listed under FOR

FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. Do not 

submit any information in your request 

that is considered CBI. Requests to 

present oral comments, identified by 

docket ID number EPA–HQ–OPPT–

2004–0122, must be received on or 

before August 31, 2007.

FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM 

Formations of, Acquisitions by, and 

Mergers of Bank Holding Companies 

The companies listed in this notice 

have applied to the Board for approval, 

pursuant to the Bank Holding Company 

Act of 1956 (12 U.S.C. 1841 et seq.) 

(BHC Act), Regulation Y (12 CFR Part 

225), and all other applicable statutes 

and regulations to become a bank 

holding company and/or to acquire the 

assets or the ownership of, control of, or 

the power to vote shares of a bank or 

bank holding company and all of the 

banks and nonbanking companies 

owned by the bank holding company, 

including the companies listed below. 

The applications listed below, as well 

as other related filings required by the 

Board, are available for immediate
