information about the SAB, as well as 

any updates concerning the meetings 

announced in this notice can be found 

on the SAB website at https://

sab.epa.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: 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 EPA 

Administrator on the scientific and 

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. Code 10. 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 Science Advisory Board 

CASTNet Review Panel will hold a 

public meeting to review a draft report 

prepared responding to the charge 

questions, to receive public comments, 

and to deliberate upon the panel’s 

recommendations regarding the 

CASTNet monitoring network. 

Availability of meeting materials: All 

meeting materials, including the agenda, 

will be available on the SAB web page 

at https://sab.epa.gov. 

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 the EPA. 

Members of the public can submit 

relevant comments pertaining to the 

committee’s charge or meeting 

materials. Input from the public to the 

SAB will have the most impact if it 

provides specific scientific or technical 

information or analysis for the SAB to 

consider or if it relates to the clarity or 

accuracy of the technical information. 

Members of the public wishing to 

provide comments should follow the 

instruction below to submit comments. 

Oral statements: In general, 

individuals or groups requesting an oral 

presentation at a meeting conducted 

virtually 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. Persons 

interested in providing oral statements 

should contact the DFO, in writing 

(preferably via email) at the contact 

information noted under FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT, by October 4, 

2023, to be placed on the list of 

registered speakers. 

Written statements: Written 

statements will be accepted throughout 

the advisory process; however, for 

timely consideration by SAB members, 

statements should be submitted to the 

DFO by October 4, 2023, for the October 

11th meeting. Written statements should 

be supplied to the DFO at the contact 

information above via email. Submitters 

are requested to provide an unsigned 

version of each document because the 

SAB Staff Office does not publish 

documents with signatures on its 

websites. Members of the public should 

be aware that their personal contact 

information if included in any written 

comments, may be posted to the SAB 

website. Copyrighted material will not 

be posted without the explicit 

permission of the copyright holder. 

Accessibility: For information on 

access or services for individuals with 

disabilities, please contact the DFO, at 

the contact information noted above, 

preferably at least ten days before the 

meeting, to give the EPA as much time 

as possible to process your request.

Deputy Director, Science Advisory Board Staff 

Office.
