telephone/voice mail: (202) 564–2073 or 

email at stallworth.holly@epa.gov. 

General information concerning the 

CASAC can be found on the EPA Web 

site at: http://www.epa.gov/casac. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

CASAC was established pursuant to the 

Clean Air Act (CAA) Amendments of 

1977, codified at 42 U.S.C. 7409(d)(2), to 

review air quality criteria and NAAQS 

and recommend any new NAAQS and 

revisions of existing criteria and 

NAAQS as may be appropriate. The 

CASAC shall also provide advice, 

information, and recommendations to 

the Administrator on the scientific and 

technical aspects of issues related to the 

criteria for air quality standards, 

research related to air quality, sources of 

air pollution, and of adverse effects 

which may result from various strategies 

to attain and maintain air quality 

standards. The CASAC is a Federal 

Advisory Committee chartered under 

the Federal Advisory Committee Act 

(FACA), 5 U.S.C., App. 2. Section 

109(d)(1) of the CAA requires that the 

Agency periodically review and revise, 

as appropriate, the air quality criteria 

and the NAAQS for the six ‘‘criteria’’ air 

pollutants, including NOX and SOX. 

EPA is currently preparing to review the 

secondary (welfare-based) air quality 

criteria for NOX and SOX. 

The SAB Staff Office is establishing a 

panel of experts to augment the 

chartered CASAC to provide EPA advice 

on its scientific assessments on this 

topic. The CASAC and the CASAC NOX

and SOX Secondary Review Panel will 

comply with the provisions of FACA 

and all appropriate EPA and SAB Staff 

Office procedural policies. 

This Federal Register notice seeks 

nominations of nationally-recognized 

experts regarding NOX and SOX in one 

or more of the following disciplines. (a) 

Ecological Effects. Expertise in 

evaluation of the effects of exposure to 

gas-phase oxides of nitrogen and sulfur, 

nitrogen deposition and acidification 

caused by deposition of nitrogen and 

sulfur, on agricultural crops and natural 

ecosystems and their components, both 

flora and fauna, ranging from 

biochemical/sub-cellular effects on 

organisms to increasingly more complex 

levels of ecosystem organization and 

biodiversity. Appropriate expertise 

disciplines include: aquatic chemistry; 

aquatic ecology/biology; limnology; 

terrestrial ecology; forest ecology; 

grassland ecology; rangeland ecology; 

terrestrial/aquatic biogeochemistry; 

marine and estuarine ecology; landscape 

ecology; terrestrial/aquatic nutrient 

cycling; and terrestrial/aquatic wildlife 

biology and soil chemistry. (b) Other 

Welfare Effects. Expertise in the 

evaluation of the effects of oxides of 

nitrogen and sulfur and acid deposition 

on public welfare including damage to 

materials, and the interactions of these 

pollutants to affect global climate 

conditions. (c) Ecosystem Exposure and 

Risk Assessment/Modeling. Expertise in 

terrestrial and aquatic or 

biogeochemical modeling across a range 

of scales from local watershed to 

landscape to continental, static and 

dynamic ecosystem response models, 

integrated assessment models, 

identification of bio-indicators useful 

for tracking ecosystem change, methods 

and approaches available to estimate 

total loadings of sulfur and nitrogen 

species to ecosystems, and the current 

state of critical loads science and 

application. Expertise in modeling 

sensitivity of ecosystems to climate 

change as it relates to effects from 

nitrogen and sulfur oxides exposure. (d) 

Ecosystem services and resource 

valuation. Expertise in connecting 

ecological effects to incremental 

changes in provision of various final 

ecosystem services, both aquatic and 

terrestrial and subsequent incremental 

changes in the value of those services 

monetary or nonmonetary. (e) 

Atmospheric Science. Expertise in 

physical and chemical properties of 

oxides of nitrogen, reduced and organic 

forms of nitrogen, and oxides of sulfur; 

atmospheric processes involved in their 

formation and transport on urban to 

global scales; transformation of these 

pollutants in the atmosphere; and 

movement of the pollutants between 

media through deposition and other 

such mechanisms. Also, expertise in the 

evaluation of natural and anthropogenic 

sources and emissions of oxides of 

nitrogen and sulfur; pertinent 

monitoring or measurement methods for 

the atmospheric concentration and 

deposition of these pollutants; and 

spatial and temporal trends in their 

atmospheric concentrations and 

deposition. 

Process and Deadline for Submitting

tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 59 / Thursday, March 27, 2014 / Notices 17149 

SAB Staff Office should consider in 

evaluating candidates. 

For the EPA SAB Staff Office, a 

balanced subcommittee or review panel 

includes candidates who possess the 

necessary domains of knowledge, the 

relevant scientific perspectives (which, 

among other factors, can be influenced 

by work history and affiliation), and the 

collective breadth of experience to 

adequately address the charge. In 

forming this expert panel, the SAB Staff 

Office will consider public comments 

on the List of Candidates, information 

provided by the candidates themselves, 

and background information 

independently gathered by the SAB 

Staff Office. Selection criteria to be used 

for panel membership include: (a) 

Scientific and/or technical expertise, 

knowledge, and experience (primary 

factors); (b) availability and willingness 

to serve; (c) absence of financial 

conflicts of interest; (d) absence of an 

appearance of a loss of impartiality; (e) 

skills working in committees, 

subcommittees and advisory panels; 

and, (f) for the panel as a whole, 

diversity of expertise and scientific 

points of view. 

The SAB 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–
