(September, 2013 External Review Draft, 

EPA/600/R–11/098B).

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

Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania 

Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20460; 

via telephone at (202) 564–2155 or via

General information concerning 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. The SAB will 

comply with the provisions of FACA 

and all appropriate SAB Staff Office 

procedural policies. Pursuant to FACA 

and EPA policy, notice is hereby given 

that the SAB Panel for the Review of the 

EPA Water Body Connectivity Report 

will hold two public teleconferences to 

discuss its draft advisory report 

concerning the EPA document titled 

Connectivity of Streams and Wetlands 

to Downstream Waters: A Review and 

Synthesis of the Scientific Evidence 

(September, 2013 External Review Draft, 

EPA/600/R–11/098B). This SAB panel 

will provide advice to the Administrator 

through the chartered SAB. 

Background: The SAB Panel for the 

Review of the EPA Water Body 

Connectivity Report previously held a 

face-to-face meeting on December 16– 

18, 2013 to conduct a peer review of the 

EPA document titled Connectivity of 

Streams and Wetlands to Downstream 

Waters: A Review and Synthesis of the 

Scientific Evidence (September, 2013 

External Review Draft, EPA/600/R–11/

098B) [Federal Register Notice dated 

September 24, 2013 (78 FR 58536– 

58537)]. Specifically, the Panel has been 

asked to evaluate: the clarity and 

technical accuracy of the EPA 

document, whether it includes the most 

relevant peer reviewed literature, 

whether the literature has been correctly 

summarized, and whether the findings 

and conclusions in the Report are 

supported by the available science. The 

purpose of the upcoming 

teleconferences is for the SAB Panel to 

discuss its draft advisory report. The 

two teleconferences will be conducted 

as one complete meeting, beginning on 

April 28, 2014, and continuing on May 

2, 2014. 

Availability of Meeting Materials: 

Teleconference agendas, the SAB 

Panel’s draft advisory report, and any 

other meeting materials will be placed 

on the SAB Web at http://www.epa.gov/ 

sab in advance of the teleconferences.

concerning the EPA document, 

Connectivity of Streams and Wetlands 

to Downstream Waters: A Review and 

Synthesis of the Scientific Evidence 

(September, 2013 External Review Draft, 

EPA/600/R–11/098B), please contact Dr. 

Laurie Alexander, National Center for 

Environmental Assessment, Office of 

Research and Development, U.S. EPA, 

1200 Pennsylvania Avenue NW., Mail

at alexander.laurie@epa.gov. 

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 oral statements to 

the SAB Panel should contact the DFO 

directly. Oral Statements: In general, 

individuals or groups requesting an oral 

presentation at a public teleconference 

will be limited to three minutes. 

Interested parties should contact Dr. 

Thomas Armitage, DFO, in writing 

(preferably via email) at the contact 

information noted above by April 23, 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

18294 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 62 / Tuesday, April 1, 2014 / Notices

courier. Please follow the detailed 

instructions provided in the written 

statements section of this notice. 

Written statements should be received 

in the EPA Docket by April 23, 2014 so 

that the information may be made 

available to the SAB Panel for its 

consideration. Written statements 

should be identified by Docket ID No. 

EPA–HQ–OA–2013–0582 and submitted 

to the Docket at www.regulations.gov by 

one of the following methods:

on-line instructions for submitting

Direct your comments to Docket ID 

No. EPA–HQ–OA–2013–0582. Please 

ensure that your comments are 

submitted by April 23, 2014. Comments 

received after that date will be marked 

late and may not be provided to the SAB 

Panel for consideration before the April 

28, 2014 teleconference. It is EPA’s 

policy to include all comments received 

in the public docket without change and 

to make the comments available on-line 

at www.regulations.gov, including any 

personal information provided, unless a 

comment includes information claimed 

to be Confidential Business Information 

(CBI) or other information whose 

disclosure is restricted by statute. Do 

not submit information that you 

consider to be CBI or otherwise 

protected through www.regulations.gov 

or email. The www.regulations.gov Web 

site is an ‘‘anonymous access’’ system, 

which means EPA will not know your 

identity or contact information unless 

you provide it in the body of your 

comment. If you send an email directly 

to EPA without going through 

www.regulations.gov, your email 

address will be automatically captured 

and included as part of the comment 

that is placed in the public docket and 

made available on the Internet. If you 

submit an electronic comment, EPA 

recommends that you include your 

name and other contact information in 

the body of your comment and with any 

disk or CD–ROM you submit. If EPA 

cannot read your comments due to 

technical difficulties and cannot contact 

you for clarification, the SAB Panel may 

not be able to consider your comments. 

Electronic files should avoid the use of 

special characters and any form of 

encryption and be free of any defects or 

viruses. For additional information 

about EPA’s public docket, visit the EPA 

Docket Center homepage at 

www.epa.gov/epahome/dockets.htm. 

Documents in the docket are listed in 

the www.regulations.gov index. 

Although listed in the index, some 

information is not publicly available, 

e.g., CBI or other information whose 

disclosure is restricted by statute. 

Certain other material, such as 

copyrighted material will be publicly 

available only in hard copy. Publicly 

available docket materials are available 

either electronically at 

www.regulations.gov or in hard copy at 

the OEI Docket in the EPA Headquarters 

Docket Center.

access or services for individuals with 

disabilities, please contact Dr. Thomas 

Armitage at (202) 564–2155 or

accommodation of a disability, please
