SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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. Pursuant to 

the Federal Advisory Committee Act, 

Public Law 92–463, notice is hereby 

given that the EPA SAB will hold a 

public teleconference meeting to 

conduct a quality review the SAB 

Panel’s draft Report on EPA’s Draft 

Entitled ‘‘Multi-Agency Radiation 

Survey and Assessment of Materials and 

Equipment (MARSAME) Manual,’’ of 

December 2006. 

Background: The EPA SAB Radiation 

Advisory Committee (RAC), augmented 

with additional experts, reviewed the 

‘‘Multi-Agency Radiation Survey and 

Assessment of Materials and Equipment 

(MARSAME) Manual,’’ Draft Report for 

Comment, December 2006. A multiagency work group with participation 

by staff from the U.S. Department of 

Energy, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission, U.S. Department of 

Defense and U.S. EPA prepared the 

manual. The multi-agency work group 

has been active since 1995 and prepares 

radiological guidance documents. The 

draft MARSAME manual complements 

MARSSIM (a surficial soils radiation 

survey manual) by providing a process 

for surveying potentially radioactive 

material and equipment (M&E). It 

provides guidance to determine whether 

M&E are sufficiently free of 

radionuclide contamination to be 

admitted to or removed from a site. 

Additional information on this review 

can be obtained on the EPA SAB Web

pertaining to the manufacture of new 

chemicals. Under sections 5(d)(2) and

premanufacture notice (PMN) or an 

application for a test marketing 

exemption (TME), and to publish 

periodic status reports on the chemicals 

under review and the receipt of notices 

of commencement to manufacture those 

chemicals. This status report, which 

covers the period from March 24, 2008 

through April 11, 2008, consists of the 

PMNs pending or expired, and the 

notices of commencement to 

manufacture a new chemical that the
