**Notification of Two Public Teleconferences of the Science**  **Advisory Board Panel for the Review of the EPA Water Body Connectivity**  **Report**

**AGENCY :**  Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

**ACTION :**  Notice.

**SUMMARY :**  The EPA Science Advisory Board (SAB) Staff Office announces two public teleconferences of the SAB Panel to provide comments to the chartered SAB on the adequacy of the scientific and technical basis of the proposed rule titled Definition of Waters of the United States under the Clean Water Act.

**DATES :**  The SAB Panel for the Review of the EPA Water Body Connectivity Report will conduct public teleconferences on August 20, 2014 and August 21, 2014. Each of the teleconferences will begin at 1:00 p.m. and end at 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time).

Location: The public teleconferences 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. Thomas Armitage, Designated Federal Officer (DFO), EPA Science Advisory Board Staff Office (1400R), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20460; via telephone at (202) 564–2155 or via email at armitage.thomas@epa.gov. General information concerning 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 Panel for the Review of the EPA Water Body Connectivity Report will hold two public teleconferences to provide comments to the chartered SAB on adequacy of the scientific and technical basis of the proposed rule titled Definition of Waters of the United States under the Clean Water Act. This proposed rule was published by the EPA and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on April 21, 2014 (79 FR 22188).

Background: The SAB Panel for the Review of the EPA Water Body Connectivity Report was established to conduct a peer review of the EPA draft report titled Connectivity of Streams and Wetlands to Downstream Waters: A Review and Synthesis of the Scientific Evidence (September, 2013 External Review Draft, EPA/600/R–11/098B). The report was written to inform development of a rule proposed by the EPA and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to clarify the definition of waters of the United States under the Clean Water Act (79 FR 22188). The Panel was charged with reviewing the overall clarity and technical accuracy of the EPA draft report, whether it included and correctly summarized the most relevant peer-reviewed scientific literature, and whether the findings and conclusions were supported by the available science. To conduct the peer review, the Panel held a face-to-face meeting on December 16–18, 2013 [Federal Register Notice dated September 24, 2013 (78 FR 58536)], public teleconferences on April 28 and May 2, 2014 [Federal Register Notice dated April 1, 2014 (79 FR 18293)], and a public teleconference on June 19, 2014 [Federal Register Notice dated May 23, 2014 (79 FR 29760)].

The ERDDAA requires the EPA to make available to the SAB proposed criteria documents, standards, limitations, or regulations provided to any other federal agency for formal review and comment together with the relevant scientific and technical information on which the proposed action is based. The SAB may then make available to the Administrator its advice and comments on the adequacy of the scientific and technical basis of the proposed actions. The purpose of the upcoming teleconferences is for the SAB Panel to develop comments to the chartered SAB on the adequacy of the scientific and technical basis of the proposed rule cited above. Comments from the Panel will inform a letter to the EPA Administrator, to be prepared by the chartered SAB, on the adequacy of the scientific and technical basis of the proposed rule titled Definition of Waters of the United States under the Clean
