75588 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 212 / Friday, November 3, 2023 / Notices 

Total estimated burden: 19,763 hours 

for applicants annually and 59,289 

hours for applicants over the ICR 

period. Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b) 

Changes in the estimates: There is an 

increase of 2,476 hours burden hours in 

the total estimated respondent burden 

compared with the ICR currently 

approved by OMB. This change is due 

to minor decreases to the respondent 

count for the Payment Request Form 

and Close Out Form, offset by increases 

to the respondents’ time burden for all 

forms to more accurately reflect the time 

required for program participants to 

complete the forms given changes in 

program requirements and changes to 

the amount of time given to selectees to 

edit their forms.

Request for Nominations of 

Candidates for the Clean Air Scientific 

Advisory Committee (CASAC) Nitrogen 

Oxides (NOX) Panel 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) Science Advisory Board 

(SAB) Staff Office requests public 

nominations of scientific experts for the 

CASAC NOX Panel. This panel will 

provide advice through the chartered 

CASAC on the scientific and technical 

bases for the agency’s review of the 

Primary National Ambient Air Quality 

Standards (NAAQS) for nitrogen oxides. 

DATES: Nominations should be 

submitted by November 24, 2023 per the 

instructions below. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Any 

member of the public wishing further 

information regarding this Notice and 

Request for Nominations may contact 

Mr. Aaron Yeow, Designated Federal 

Officer (DFO), SAB Staff Office, by 

telephone at (202) 564–2050 or via 

email at yeow.aaron@epa.gov. General 

information concerning the CASAC can 

be found on the CASAC website: 

https://casac.epa.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: The CASAC was 

established pursuant to the Clean Air 

Act (CAA) Amendments of 1977, 

codified at 42 U.S.C. 7409(d)(2), to 

review air quality criteria and NAAQS 

and recommend to the EPA 

Administrator any new NAAQS and 

revisions of existing criteria and 

NAAQS as may be appropriate. The 

CASAC shall also: advise the EPA 

Administrator of areas in which 

additional knowledge is required to 

appraise the adequacy and basis of 

existing, new, or revised NAAQS; 

describe the research efforts necessary 

to provide the required information; 

advise the EPA Administrator on the 

relative contribution to air pollution 

concentrations of natural as well as 

anthropogenic activity; and advise the 

EPA Administrator of any adverse 

public health, welfare, social, economic, 

or energy effects which may result from 

various strategies for attainment and 

maintenance of such NAAQS. As 

amended, 5 U.S.C. app. section 

109(d)(1) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) 

requires that EPA carry out a periodic 

review and revision, as appropriate, of 

the air quality criteria and the NAAQS 

for the six ‘‘criteria’’ air pollutants, 

including nitrogen oxides. 

The CASAC is a Federal advisory 

committee chartered under the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act (FACA). As a 

Federal Advisory Committee, the 

CASAC conducts business in 

accordance with the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act (FACA) (5 U.S.C. 10) 

and related regulations. The CASAC and 

the CASAC NOX Panel will comply with 

the provisions of FACA and all 

appropriate SAB Staff Office procedural 

policies. 

Request for Nominations: The SAB 

Staff Office is seeking nominations of 

nationally and internationally 

recognized scientists with demonstrated 

expertise and research in the field of air 

pollution related to criteria pollutants. 

For the CASAC NOX Panel, experts are 

being sought in the following fields, 

especially with respect to NOX: 

atmospheric science, human exposure, 

dosimetry, toxicology, epidemiology, 

medicine, public health, biostatistics, 

and risk assessment. 

Process and Deadline for Submitting 

Nominations: Any interested person or 

organization may nominate qualified 

individuals in the areas of expertise 

described above. Individuals may selfnominate. Nominations should be 

submitted in electronic format 

(preferred) using the online nomination 

form under ‘‘Public Input on 

Membership’’ on the CASAC web page 

at https://casac.epa.gov. To be 

considered, all nominations should 

include the information requested 

below. EPA values and welcomes 

diversity. All qualified candidates are 

encouraged to apply regardless of sex, 

race, disability or ethnicity. 

Nominations should be submitted by 

November 24, 2023. 

The following information should be 

provided on the nomination form: 

contact information for the person 

making the nomination; contact 

information for the nominee; and the 

disciplinary and specific areas of 

expertise of the nominee. Nominees will 

be contacted by the SABSO and will be 

asked to provide a recent curriculum 

vitae and a narrative biographical 

summary that includes current position, 

educational background, research 

activities, sources of research funding 

for the last two years, and recent service 

on other national advisory committees 

or national professional organizations. 

Persons having questions about the 

nomination process, or the public 

comment process described below, or 

who are unable to submit nominations 

through the CASAC website, should 

contact the DFO, as identified above. 

The names and biosketches of qualified 

nominees identified by respondents to 

this Federal Register notice, and 

additional experts identified by the SAB 

Staff Office, will be posted in a List of 

Candidates on the CASAC website at 

https://casac.epa.gov. Public comments 

on each List of Candidates will be 

accepted for 21 days from the date the 

list is posted. The public will be 

requested to provide relevant 

information or other documentation on 

nominees that the SAB Staff Office 

should consider in evaluating 

candidates. 

For the EPA SAB Staff Office, a 

balanced review panel includes 

candidates who possess the necessary 

domains of knowledge, the relevant 

scientific perspectives (which, among 

other factors, can be influenced by work 

history and affiliation), and the 

collective breadth of experience to 

adequately address the charge. In 

forming this expert panel, the SAB Staff 

Office will consider public comments 

on the List of Candidates, information 

provided by the candidates themselves, 

and background information 

independently gathered by the SAB 

Staff Office. Selection criteria to be used 

for panel membership include: (a) 

scientific and/or technical expertise, 

knowledge, and experience (primary 

factors); (b) availability and willingness 

to serve; (c) absence of financial 

conflicts of interest; (d) absence of an 

appearance of a lack of impartiality; (e) 

skills working in committees, 

subcommittees and advisory panels; and 

(f) for the panel as a whole, diversity of 

expertise and viewpoints.
