(ERDAA) codified at 42 U.S.C. 4365, to 

provide independent scientific and 

technical peer review, advice,

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 EPA. Members of 

the public can submit relevant 

comments on the topic of this advisory 

activity, including the charge to the 

panel and the EPA review documents, 

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 consists of comments that 

provide specific scientific or technical 

information or analysis for the SAB 

panel to consider or if it relates to the 

clarity or accuracy of the technical 

information. 

Oral Statements: In general, 

individuals or groups requesting an oral 

presentation will be limited to three 

minutes per speaker for each 

teleconference. Interested parties should 

contact Dr. Holly Stallworth, DFO, in 

writing (preferably via email), at the 

contact information noted above, by 

October 5, 2016 to be placed on the list 

of public speakers for the 

teleconference. Written Statements: 

Written statements should be received 

in the SAB Staff Office in advance of 

each teleconference according to the 

same deadline listed above for 

requesting oral comments. Written 

statements should be supplied to the 

DFO, preferably in electronic format via 

email. 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. 

Stallworth at the phone number or 

email address noted above, at least ten 

days prior to the meeting, to give EPA 

as much time as possible to process 

your request.
