absence of financial conflicts of interest; 

(d) absence of an appearance of a lack 

of impartiality; (e) skills working on 

committees and advisory panels; and (f) 

background and experiences that would 

contribute to the diversity of viewpoints 

on the committee, e.g., geographic, 

economic, social, cultural, educational 

backgrounds, and professional 

affiliations. 

The BOSC Staff Office’s evaluation of 

an absence of financial conflicts of 

interest will include a review of the 

‘‘Confidential Financial Disclosure 

Form for Special Government 

Employees Serving on Federal Advisory 

Committees at the U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency’’ (EPA Form 3110– 

48). This confidential form allows 

Government Officials to determine 

whether there is a statutory conflict 

between that person’s public 

responsibilities (which includes 

membership on an EPA Federal 

advisory committee) and private 

interests and activities, or the 

appearance of a lack of impartiality, as 

defined by Federal regulation. The form 

may be viewed and downloaded from
