Notification of a Public Teleconference 

of the Chartered Science Advisory 

Board 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The EPA Science Advisory 

Board (SAB) Staff Office announces a 

public teleconference to review a draft 

SAB report on the EPA’s Integrated Risk 

Information System (IRIS) Toxicological 

Review of Benzo[a]pyrene. 

DATES: The public teleconference for the 

Chartered SAB will be conducted on 

Tuesday January 26, 2016 from 2:00 

p.m. to 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Time). 

ADDRESSES: The public teleconference 

will be conducted by telephone only. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Any 

member of the public wishing to obtain 

information concerning the public 

teleconference may contact Mr. Thomas 

Carpenter, Designated Federal Officer 

(DFO), EPA Science Advisory Board 

Staff Office (1400R), U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania 

Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20460; by 

telephone/voice mail at (202) 564–4885 

or at carpenter.thomas@epa.gov. 

General information about the SAB as 

well as any updates concerning the 

teleconference announced in this notice 

may be found on the EPA Web site at 

http://www.epa.gov/sab. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The SAB 

was established pursuant to the 

Environmental Research, Development, 

and Demonstration Authorization Act 

(ERDDAA), codified at 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), 5 U.S.C., App. 2. Pursuant to 

FACA and EPA policy, notice is hereby 

given that the chartered SAB will hold 

a public teleconference to conduct a 

quality review of the draft SAB report 

on the IRIS programs Toxicological 

Assessment for Benzo[a]pyrene. The 

SAB undertook this review at the 

request of the EPA’s Office of Research 

and Development (ORD). 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. Consistent with 

FACA, the chartered SAB makes a 

determination in a public meeting about 

each draft report and determines 

whether the report is ready to be 

transmitted to the EPA Administrator. 

For the EPA’s Toxicological Review of 

Benzo[a]pyrene, External Review Draft 

(September, 2014), the ORD conducted 

a qualitative characterization of the 

hazards for benzo[a]pyrene, including a 

cancer descriptor of the chemical’s 

human carcinogenic potential, cancer 

risk estimates for oral, inhalation and 

dermal exposure, and noncancer 

toxicity values for chronic oral 

(reference dose) and inhalation 

(reference concentration) exposure.

Availability of Meeting Materials: The

teleconference will be available on the 

EPA Web site at http://www.epa.gov/sab 

in advance of the teleconference. 

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 comments for a federal 

advisory committee to consider as it 

develops advice for EPA. Input from the 

public to the SAB will have the most 

impact if it provides specific scientific 

or technical information or analysis for 

SAB panels 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 at a 

teleconference will be limited to three 

minutes. Each person making an oral 

statement should consider providing 

written comments as well as their oral 

statement so that the points presented 

orally can be expanded upon in writing. 

Interested parties should contact Mr. 

Thomas Carpenter, DFO, in writing 

(preferably via email) at the contact 

information noted above, by January 19, 

2016 to be placed on the list of public 

speakers. Written Statements: Written 

statements should be supplied to the 

DFO, preferably via email, at the contact 

information noted above one week 

before the teleconference so that the 

information may be made available to 

the Board members for their 

consideration. 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 Mr. Thomas 

Carpenter at (202) 564–4885 or 

carpenter.thomas@epa.gov. To request 

accommodation of a disability, please 

contact Mr. Carpenter preferably at least 

ten days prior to the teleconference to 

give EPA as much time as possible to 

process your request. 

Dated: December 15, 2015. 

Thomas H. Brennan, 

Deputy Director, EPA Science Advisory Staff 

Office.
