the comment includes profanity, threats, 

information claimed to be Confidential 

Business Information (CBI) or other 

information whose disclosure is 

restricted by statute.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Supporting documents which explain in 

detail the information that the EPA will 

be collecting are available in the public 

docket for this ICR. The docket can be 

viewed online at www.regulations.gov 

or in person at the EPA Docket Center, 

WJC West, Room 3334, 1301 

Constitution Ave. NW., Washington, 

DC. The telephone number for the 

Docket Center is 202–566–1744. For 

additional information about EPA’s 

public docket, visit http://www.epa.gov/ 

dockets. 

Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 

the PRA, EPA is soliciting comments 

and information to enable it to: (i) 

Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the Agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; (ii) evaluate the 

accuracy of the Agency’s estimate of the 

burden of the proposed collection of 

information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(iii) enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (iv) minimize the burden 

of the collection of information on those 

who are to respond, including through 

the use of appropriate automated 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submission of 

responses. EPA will consider the 

comments received and amend the ICR 

as appropriate. The final ICR package 

will then be submitted to OMB for 

review and approval. At that time, EPA 

will issue another Federal Register 

notice to announce the submission of 

the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to 

submit additional comments to OMB. 

Abstract: The purpose of this 

information collection request is to 

assist EPA in selecting federal advisory 

committee members who will be 

appointed as Special Government 

Employees (SGEs), mostly to EPA’s 

scientific and technical committees. To 

select SGE members as efficiently and 

cost effectively as possible, the Agency 

needs to evaluate potential conflicts of 

interest before a candidate is hired as an 

SGE and appointed as a member to a 

committee by EPA’s Administrator or 

Deputy Administrator. 

Agency officials developed the 

‘‘Confidential Financial Disclosure 

Form for Special Government 

Employees Serving on Federal Advisory 

Committees at the U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency,’’ also referred to as 

Form 3110–48, for greater inclusion of 

information to discover any potential 

conflicts of interest as recommended by 

the Government Accountability Office. 

Form Numbers: EPA Form 3110–48. 

Respondents/affected entities: Entities 

potentially affected by this action are 

approximately 250 candidates for 

membership as SGEs on EPA federal 

advisory committees. SGEs are required 

to file a confidential financial disclosure 

report (Form 3110–48) when first 

appointed to serve on EPA advisory 

committees, and then annually 

thereafter. Committee members may 

also be required to update the 

confidential form before each meeting 

while they serve as SGEs. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Required in order to serve as a SGE on 

an EPA federal advisory committee (5 

CFR 2634.903). 

Estimated number of respondents: 

250 (total). 

Frequency of response: Annual. 

Total estimated burden: 250 hours per 

year (1 hour per respondent). Burden is 

defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $22,000 (per 

year). There are no capital investment or 

maintenance and operational costs. 

Changes in Estimates: The estimated 

number of respondents and hourly labor 

costs have been reduced resulting in a 

lower total estimated respondent burden 

compared with the ICR currently 

approved by OMB. 

Dated: June 9, 2014.

Assistant Administrator, Office of 

Administration and Resources Management.

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

procedural policies. Pursuant to FACA

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. 

Interested members of the public may 

submit relevant information on the topic 

of this advisory activity, and/or the 

group conducting the activity, for the 

SAB to consider during the advisory 

process. Input from the public to the 

SAB will have the most impact if it 

provides specific scientific or technical 

information or analysis for SAB 

committees and panels to consider or if 

it relates to the clarity or accuracy of the 

technical information. Members of the 

public wishing to provide comment 

should contact the DFO directly. Oral 

Statements: In general, individuals or 

groups requesting an oral presentation 

on a teleconference will be limited to 3 

minutes and oral presentation at a faceto-face meeting will be limited to five 

minutes. Interested parties should 

contact Dr. Sue Shallal, DFO, in writing 

(preferably via email) at the contact 

information noted above by July 11, 

2014 to be placed on the list of public 

speakers for the teleconference. Written 

Statements: Written statements will be 

accepted throughout the advisory 

process; however, for timely 

consideration by Committee/Panel 

members, statements should be 

supplied to the DFO via email at the 

contact information noted above at least 

one week prior to a public meeting. 

Written statements should be supplied 

in one of the following electronic 

formats: Adobe Acrobat PDF, MS Word, 

MS PowerPoint, or Rich Text files in 

IBM–PC/Windows 98/2000/XP format. 

It is the SAB Staff Office general policy 

to post written comments on the Web 

page for the advisory meeting or 

teleconference. Submitters are requested 

to provide an unsigned version of each 

document because the SAB Staff Office 

does not publish documents with 

signatures on its Web sites. Members of 

the public should be aware that their 

personal contact information, if 

included in any written comments, may 

be posted to the SAB Web site. 

Copyrighted material will not be posted 

without explicit permission of the 

copyright holder. 

Accessibility: For information on 

access or services for individuals with 

disabilities, please contact Dr. Sue 

Shallal at (202) 564–2057 or 

shallal.suhair@epa.gov. To request 

accommodation of a disability, please 

contact Dr. Shallal preferably at least ten 

days prior to the meeting to give EPA as 

much time as possible to process your 

request.
