Background: The Children’s Health

children’s health. 

The EPA Administrator appoints 

members for three-year terms with a cap 

on service at six years. The Committee 

meets 2–3 times annually and the 

average workload is approximately 10 to 

15 hours per month. EPA provides 

reimbursement for travel and other 

incidental expenses associated with 

official government business, but 

members must be able to cover expenses 

prior to reimbursement. 

The CHPAC is looking for 

representatives from the private sector, 

academia non-governmental 

organizations, public-health 

practitioners, pediatricians, obstetric 

professionals, occupational medicine 

practitioners and community nurses. 

We are also seeking representatives from 

environmental groups, health groups, 

health research, the fields of 

epidemiology and toxicology, and tribal, 

state, county and local government. 

We are looking for experience in 

children’s environmental health policy, 

research, and in specific issues such as 

lead poisoning and asthma, prenatal 

environmental exposures, chemical 

exposures, public health information 

tracking, knowledge of EPA regulation 

development, risk assessment, exposure 

assessment, tribal children’s 

environmental health and children’s 

environmental health disparities. The 

EPA encourages nominations from all 

racial and ethnic groups.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant 

to section 10(d) of the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act (FACA), 5 U.S.C. App. 2, 

and section (c)(6) of the Government in 

the Sunshine Act, 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(6), 

the EPA has determined that the 

chartered SAB quality review 

teleconference will be closed to the 

public. The purpose of the 

teleconference is for the chartered SAB 

to conduct a review of a draft SAB 

advisory report of recommendations 

regarding the agency’s 2016 STAA. The 

Chartered SAB teleconference will be 

closed to the public. 

Quality review is a key function of the 

chartered SAB. Draft reports prepared 

by SAB committees, panels, or work 

groups must be reviewed and approved 

by the chartered SAB before transmittal 

to the EPA Administrator. The chartered 

SAB makes a determination in a 

meeting consistent with FACA about all 

draft reports and determines whether 

the report is ready to be transmitted to 

the EPA Administrator. 

At the teleconference, the chartered 

SAB will conduct a review of draft 

report developed by an SAB committee

charged with developing 

recommendations regarding the 

agency’s 2016 STAA. (for more 

information, see http://

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

fedrgstr_activites/STAA-2016- 

2018?OpenDocument. 

The STAA awards are established to 

honor and recognize EPA employees 

who have made outstanding 

contributions in the advancement of 

science and technology through their 

research and development activities, as 

exhibited in publication of their results 

in peer reviewed journals. I have 

determined that the Chartered SAB 

quality review teleconference will be 

closed to the public because it is 

concerned with recommending 

employees deserving of awards. In 

making these draft recommendations, 

the EPA requires full and frank advice 

from the SAB. This advice will involve 

professional judgments on the relative 

merits of various employees and their 

respective work. Such personnel matters 

involve the discussion of information 

that is of a personal nature, the 

disclosure of which would be a clearly 

unwarranted invasion of personal 

privacy and, therefore, is protected from 

disclosure by section (c)(6) of the 

Government in the Sunshine Act, 5 

U.S.C. 552b(c)(6). Minutes of the 

Chartered SAB teleconference will be 

certified by the chair and retained in the 

public record.
