SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: The SAB was 

established pursuant to the 

Environmental Research, Development, 

and Demonstration Authorization Act 

(ERDAA) codified at 42 U.S.C. 4365, to 

provide independent scientific and 

technical peer review, advice, 

consultation, and recommendations to 

the EPA Administrator on the technical 

basis for EPA actions. As a Federal 

Advisory Committee, the SAB conducts 

business in accordance with the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act (FACA) (5 

U.S.C. App. 2) and related regulations. 

Pursuant to FACA and EPA policy, 

notice is hereby given that the SAB 

Biogenic Carbon Emissions Panel will 

hold two public teleconferences to 

discuss the Panel’s draft report on EPA’s 

draft Accounting Framework for 

Biogenic CO2 Emissions from Stationary 

Sources (September 2011). The SAB 

will comply with the provisions of 

FACA and all appropriate SAB Staff 

Office procedural policies. 

EPA’s Office of Atmospheric 

Programs (OAP) in EPA’s Office of Air 

and Radiation requested SAB review of 

EPA’s draft accounting framework. As 

noticed in 76 FR 61100–61101, the SAB 

Biogenic Carbon Emissions Panel held a 

public meeting on October 25–27, 2011 

to review and discuss its advice on 

EPA’s draft Accounting Framework for 

Biogenic CO2 Emissions from Stationary 

Sources (September 2011). As noticed in 

76 FR 80368–80369, the Panel discussed 

its draft reports by teleconferences on 

January 27, 2012 and March 20, 2012. 

The Panel will continue its discussion 

of a revised draft report during the 

teleconferences on May 23, 2012 and 

May 29, 2012. 

Availability of the Meeting Materials: 

An agenda and draft report will be 

posted on the SAB Web site http://

OpenDocument prior to the May 23, 

2012 teleconference. EPA’s review 

document, charge to the Panel and other 

background materials are also available 

at the URL above. For questions 

concerning EPA’s draft Accounting 

Framework for Biogenic CO2 Emissions 

from Stationary Sources (September 

2011), please contact Dr. Jennifer 

Jenkins, Climate Change Division, at 

jenkins.jennifer@epa.gov or 202–343– 

9361 or Sara Ohrel at 

ohrel.sara@epa.gov or 202–343–9712. 

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 relevant 

comments for a federal advisory 

committee to consider pertaining to 

charge to the panel, EPA review 

documents, or this advisory activity. 

Input from the public to the SAB will 

have the most impact if it consists of 

comments that provide specific 

scientific or technical information or 

analysis for the SAB panel 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 these teleconferences 

will be limited to three minutes per 

speaker. Interested parties should 

contact Dr. Holly Stallworth, DFO, in 

writing (preferably via email), at the 

contact information noted above, by 

May 18, 2012 to be placed on the list of 

public speakers for the May 23, 2012 

teleconference and by May 25, 2012 to 

be placed on the list of speakers for the 

May 29, 2012 teleconference. Written 

Statements: Written statements should 

be received in the SAB Staff Office by 

May 18, 2012 to be considered for the 

May 23, 2012 teleconference and by 

May 25, 2012 to be considered for the 

May 29, 2012 teleconference. Written 

statements should be supplied to the 

DFO in electronic format via email 

(acceptable file formats: Adobe Acrobat 

PDF, WordPerfect, MS Word, MS 

PowerPoint, or Rich Text files in IBM– 

PC/Windows 98/2000/XP format). 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 Dr. Holly 

Stallworth at the phone number or 

email address noted above, preferably at 

least ten days prior to the meeting, to 

give EPA as much time as possible to 

process your request.
