Persons having questions about the

The EPA SAB Staff Office will 

acknowledge receipt of nominations. 

The names and biosketches of qualified 

nominees identified by respondents to 

this Federal Register notice, and 

additional experts identified by the SAB 

Staff, will be posted in a List of 

Candidates for the CAAC 

benzo[a]pyrene review panel on the 

SAB Web site at http://

yosemite.epa.gov/sab/sabproduct.nsf/

fedrgstr_activites/

IRIS%20BaP?OpenDocument. Public 

comments on the List of Candidates will 

be accepted for 21 days. 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 loss of impartiality; (e) 

skills working in committees, 

subcommittees and advisory panels; 

and, (f) for the panel as a whole, 

diversity of expertise and scientific 

points of view. 

The SAB Staff Office’s evaluation of 

an absence of financial conflicts of 

interest will include a review of the 

‘‘Confidential Financial Disclosure 

Form for Special Government 

Employees Serving on Federal Advisory 

Committees at the U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency’’ (EPA Form 3110– 

48). This confidential form allows 

government officials to determine 

whether there is a statutory conflict 

between a person’s public 

responsibilities (which include 

membership on an EPA federal advisory 

committee) and private interests and 

activities, or the appearance of a loss of 

impartiality, as defined by federal 

regulation. The form may be viewed and 

downloaded from the following URL

Abstract: Section 709 (c) of Title VII 

of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as 

amended, 42 U.S.C. 2000e–8(c), requires 

employers to make and keep such 

records relevant to the determinations of 

whether unlawful employment practices 

have been or are being committed, to 

preserve such records, and to produce 

such reports as the Commission 

prescribes by regulation or order. 

Accordingly, the EEOC issued 

regulations prescribing the reporting 

requirements for elementary and 

secondary public school districts. The 

EEOC uses EEO–5 data to investigate 

charges of employment discrimination 

against elementary and secondary 

public school districts. The data also are 

used for research. The data are shared 

with the Department of Education 

(Office for Civil Rights) and the 

Department of Justice. Pursuant to 

Section 709(d) of Title VII of the Civil 

Rights Act of 1964, as amended, EEO– 

5 data also are shared with state and 

local Fair Employment Practices 

Agencies (FEPAs). 

Revisions to the form that amended 

the race and ethnicity categories were 

approved by OMB in 2012. The 

previously used categories (White, 

Black, Hispanic, Asian or Pacific 

Islander, and American Indian or Alaska 

Native) were replaced with the 

following: Hispanic or Latino; White; 

Black or African American; Asian; 

Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific 

Islander; American Indian or Alaska 

Native; and Two or More Races. EEOC 

is seeking a three year extension 

without change of the form approved by 

OMB in 2012. 

Burden Statement: The estimated 

number of respondents included in the 

biennial EEO–5 survey is 6,190 public 

elementary and secondary school 

districts. The form is estimated to 

impose 15,475 burden hours biennially.
