SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant 

to the Federal Advisory Committee Act, 

Public Law 92–463, notice is hereby 

given that the SAB Environmental 

Economics Advisory Committee will 

hold a public teleconference to discuss 

appropriate methods for valuing 

mortality risks. The SAB EEAC will be 

augmented by economists from the 

chartered Science Advisory Board as 

well as the Advisory Council on Clean 

Air Compliance Analysis. The SAB was 

established by 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), as amended, 5 U.S.C., App. The 

SAB will comply with the provisions of 

FACA and all appropriate SAB Staff 

Office procedural policies. 

Background 

The SAB EEAC has been asked to 

review two papers related to EPA’s 

issues in valuing mortality risk 

reduction. The first paper entitled 

‘‘Report of the EPA Work Group on VSL 

Meta-Analyses’’ addresses the 

application of meta analysis techniques 

to the derivation of estimates for 

mortality risk reduction. A second 

paper, entitled ‘‘Willingness to Pay for 

Environmental Health Risk Reductions 

when there are Varying Degrees of Life 

Expectancy: A White Paper’’ discusses 

appropriate and available methods for 

valuing mortality risk reductions when 

affected populations have varying life 

expectancies. http://yosemite.epa.gov/ 

EE/epa/eerm.nsf/vwRepNumLookup/ 

EE–0495?OpenDocument. These papers 

are posted at: http://yosemite.epa.gov/

48546), and a teleconference was held 

on October 30, 2006 (71 FR 59779–

responding to EPA’s charge questions 

on the two papers cited above.

Report: ‘‘Comparison of the Alternative 

Asbestos Control Method and the 

NESHAP Method for Demolition of 

Asbestos-Containing Buildings’’

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of document availability 

and invitation for public comment. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency is announcing a 

public comment period and 

independent, external peer review for 

the draft Final Report for the Alternative 

Asbestos Control Method (AACM) 

Demonstration Project. The external 

peer review is expected to include a 

face-to-face meeting in Cincinnati, OH. 

The time and location for the external 

peer review meeting have not yet been 

determined and will be specified in a 

separate Federal Register notice. EPA 

expects to invite the public to attend the 

meeting and to provide an opportunity 

to the public to make comments at the 

meeting. The public comment period 

and the external peer review provide 

opportunities for all interested parties to 

comment on the report. In addition to 

consideration by EPA, all public 

comments submitted in accordance with 

this notice will also be forwarded to 

EPA’s contractor for consideration by 

the external peer review panel prior to 

the meeting. 

EPA is releasing this draft document 

solely for the purpose of predissemination peer review under 

applicable information quality 

guidelines. This document has not been 

formally disseminated by EPA. This 

draft Final Report does not represent 

and should not be construed to 

represent any EPA policy, viewpoint, or 

determination. 

The U.S. EPA conducted a controlled 

demonstration to evaluate the AACM 

alongside the current National 

Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air 

Pollutants (NESHAP) method in a 

remote, secure location at Fort Chaffee, 

Arkansas. To facilitate side-by-side 

comparison, the demonstration used 

two similar structures with asbestoscontaining materials. Additional 

information about this research project, 

including a description of the AACM 

and the project schedule, is available at 

http://epa.gov/region6/6xa/ 

asbestos.htm.
