objectives and loading targets for Lake 

Erie. 

DATES: The public teleconference for the 

Chartered SAB will be held on 

Wednesday, May 27, 2015, from 1:00 

p.m. to 3:30 p.m. (Eastern Standard 

Time). 

Location: 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 

teleconferences 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 teleconferences 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 for two 

purposes. 

The first purpose is to discuss 

recommendations regarding the 

information provided in the agency’s 

Fall 2014 regulatory agenda, specifically 

planned actions and their supporting 

science. Information about this advisory 

activity can be found on the Web at 

http://yosemite.epa.gov/sab/

SAB%20Fall%202014%20

Reg%20Agenda?OpenDocument. 

The second purpose of this public 

teleconference is to review a draft SAB 

consultation report on the scientific and 

technical merit of the EPA’s draft 

approach to develop preliminary binational phosphorous objectives and 

loading targets for Lake Erie. 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. 

The SAB review will focus on a draft 

report on the EPA’s plan to use an 

ensemble modeling approach to develop 

preliminary binational phosphorous 

objectives, loading targets and 

allocations for nearshore and offshore 

waters. Information about this advisory 

activity can be found on the Web at 

http://yosemite.epa.gov/sab/

GLWQA?OpenDocument. 

Availability of Meeting Materials: The 

agenda and materials in support of these 

teleconferences will be available on the 

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

in advance of the teleconferences. 

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. Members of the public 

wishing to provide comment should 

contact the Designated Federal Officer 

as noted above. 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. 

Carpenter, DFO, in writing (preferably 

via email) at the contact information 

noted above one week before the 

teleconference 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 each of the teleconferences 

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.

EXPORT-IMPORT BANK 

[Public Notice: 2015–6001] 

Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Comment Request 

AGENCY: Export-Import Bank of the U.S. 

ACTION: Submission for OMB review and 

comments request. 

Title: EIB 15–01, Generic Clearance 

for the Collection of Feedback on 

Electronic Interfaces with Customers. 

SUMMARY: The Export-Import Bank of 

the United States (Ex-Im Bank), as a part 

of its continuing effort to reduce 

paperwork and respondent burden, 

conducts a pre-clearance consultation 

program to provide the general public 

and Federal Agencies with an 

opportunity to comment on proposed 

information collections, as required by 

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. 

Ex-Im Bank is soliciting comments on 

the following proposed Generic 

Information Collection Request (Generic 

ICR): ‘‘Generic Clearance for the 

Collection of Qualitative Feedback on 

Electronic Interfaces with Customers’’ 

for approval under the Paperwork 

Reduction Act. This collection was 

developed as an effort to streamline the 

process for seeking feedback from the 

public on the electronic interfaces (Web 

site and online application systems) 

used by Ex-Im Bank customers. This 

notice announces our intent to submit 

this collection to OMB for approval and 

solicits comments on specific aspects 

for the proposed information collection.

DATES: Comments should be received on 

or before June 26, 2015 to be assured of 

consideration. 

ADDRESSES: Comments may be 

submitted electronically on http://

www.regulations.gov or by mail to 

Michele Kuester, Export-Import Bank of 

the United States, 811 Vermont Ave. 

NW., Washington, DC 20571. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: EIB 15–01, Generic Clearance 

for the Collection of Feedback on 

Electronic Interfaces with Customers. 

OMB Number: TBD. 

Type of Review: New. 

Need and Use: This is a request for a 

new three-year generic clearance for the 

Export-Import Bank of the United States 

(Ex-Im Bank) that will allow it to 

develop, test and improve its digital 

customer interfaces—including on-line 

applications for financing support, other 

on-line reporting, and the agency’s Web 

site. The procedures used to this effect 

include, but are not limited to, tests of 

various interfaces through focus groups, 

cognitive testing, web-based 

experiments and usability testing. 

Ex-Im Bank is requesting the generic 

clearance in order to test new or 

proposed methodologies for customer 

interfaces, data collection activities, and 

Web site design. We believe the generic 

clearance will be a helpful vehicle for 

evaluating the usability and 

effectiveness of these methodologies. 

In the past, Ex-Im Bank has 

approached design and testing through 

convenience samples of nine or fewer 

persons to provide input and feedback 

or by relying on employee feedback. 

Neither of these approaches meets ExIm Bank’s needs to collect meaningful 

information on the usability and 

effectiveness of its customer interfaces. 

In the reference document we have 

provided a description of the scope of 

possible activities that might be covered 

under this clearance. The requested 

clearance is important to Ex-Im Bank’s 

usability testing program, because of the 

length of time required to develop 

customer interfaces. 

The specific methods proposed for 

coverage by this clearance are listed 

below. Also outlined are the procedures 

Ex-Im Bank plans to put in place for 

keeping OMB informed about the 

identity of the usability tests and the 

nature of the research activities being 

conducted. 

The methods proposed for use in 

system development are as follows: 

• Pilot testing, 

• Behavior coding, 

• Exploratory interviews, 

• Split sample experiments, 

• Cognitive and usability interviews, 

and 

• Focus groups. 

Before each testing activity is 

undertaken, Ex-Im Bank will provide 

OMB with a memo describing the study 

to be conducted and a copy of the 

instrumentation and instruction 

materials that will be used. Depending 

on the stage of instrumentation 

development, this may be a printed 

questionnaire, a set of prototype items 

showing each item type to be used and 

the range of topics to be covered by the 

questionnaire, or an interview script. 

When split sample experiments are 

conducted, either in small group 

sessions or as part of a field test, the 

different versions of the questionnaires 

to be used will be provided. For a test 

of alternative procedures, the 

description and rationale for the 

procedures will be submitted. A brief 

description of the planned field activity 

will also be provided. 

Affected Public: Individuals 

representing companies engaged in 

business with the Export-Import Bank of 

the U.S. 

Annual Number of Respondents: 72. 

Estimated Time per Respondent: 12 

hours. 

Annual Burden Hours: 864 hours. 

Frequency of Reporting or Use: On 

occasion. 

Government Expenses: TBD.
