**AGENCY :**  Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

**ACTION :**  Notice.

**SUMMARY :**  The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Science Advisory Board (SAB) Staff Office announces two public teleconferences of the SAB Environmental Economics Advisory Committee to discuss its draft review of EPA’s White Paper ‘‘Retrospective Study of the Costs of EPA Regulations: An Interim Report’’ (March 2012 draft).

**DATES :**  The public teleconferences will be held on Friday, September 7, 2012 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. (Eastern Daylight Time) and Friday, November 2, 2012 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. (Eastern Daylight Time).

**ADDRESSES :**  The teleconferences will be conducted by telephone only.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  Any member of the public who wants further information concerning the meeting may contact Dr. Holly Stallworth, Designated Federal Officer (DFO), EPA Science Advisory Board (1400R), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 1300 Pennsylvania Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20460; via telephone/voice mail (202) 564–2073; fax (202) 565–2098; or email at stallworth.holly@epa.gov

. **SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :** 

Background: Pursuant to the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), as amended, 5 U.S.C., App., notice is hereby given that the SAB Environmental Economics Advisory Committee (EEAC) will hold public teleconference to discuss its draft report reviewing the EPA report ‘‘Retrospective Study of the Costs of EPA Regulations: An Interim Report’’ (March 2012 draft). The SAB was established pursuant to 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 FACA. The SAB will comply with the provisions of FACA and all appropriate SAB Staff Office procedural policies.

EPA’s white paper ‘‘Retrospective Study of the Costs of EPA Regulations: An Interim Report’’ (March 2012 draft) summarizes EPA’s initial findings from a small number of pilot case studies that attempt to evaluate the costs of EPA’s regulations after they were implemented (ex post). To improve future benefit-cost analyses, EPA is seeking to compare its predictions of costs (ex ante costs) with actual (ex post) costs and, if they differ substantially, to understand why. EPA has requested the SAB’s review of its approach to assessing ex post costs as detailed in its draft paper. Additional background on this SAB EEAC review and announcement of two previous teleconferences is provided in 77 FR 17475–17476. The most current SAB EEAC draft report will be posted on the SAB Web site prior to each teleconference. These draft reports, meeting agendas and any other meeting materials may be found at http:// yosemite.epa.gov/sab/sabproduct.nsf/ fedrgstr

Availability of Meeting Materials: A meeting agenda, charge questions, and other materials for the teleconferences will be placed on the SAB Web site at www.epa.gov/sab

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 pertaining to the group conducting this advisory activity, EPA’s charge, or meeting materials. 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 to consider. Members of the public wishing to provide comment should contact the Designated Federal Officer for the relevant advisory committee directly.

Oral Statements: In general, individuals or groups requesting an oral presentation at a public teleconference will be limited to five minutes per speaker. To be placed on the public speaker list for the September 7, 2012 meeting, interested parties should notify Dr. Holly Stallworth, DFO, by email no later than August 31, 2012. To be placed on the public speaker list for the November 2, 2012 teleconference, interested parties should notify Dr. Holly Stallworth by October 26, 2012.

Written Statements: Written statements for these teleconferences should be received in the SAB Staff Office by the same deadlines given above for requesting oral comments. Written statements should be supplied to the DFO via email (acceptable file format: Adobe Acrobat PDF, MS Word, WordPerfect, MS PowerPoint, or Rich Text files in IBM-PC/Windows 98/2000/ XP format).

Accessibility: For information on access or services for individuals with disabilities, please contact Dr. 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. Dated: July 23, 2012. Thomas H. Brennan, Deputy Director, EPA Science Advisory Board Staff Office.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :** 

I. Additional Information About the Proposed Consent Decree

The proposed consent decree would resolve a lawsuit filed by the Sierra Club seeking to compel the Administrator to take final action under sections 110(k)(2) and (3) of the CAA, 42 U.S.C. 7410(k)(2) and (3), to approve or disapprove, in whole or in part, numerous SIP submittals in the States of Georgia and Alabama identified in the proposed consent decree. EPA has taken final action to approve several SIP submissions from the States of Georgia and Alabama. On December 29, 2011, the State of Georgia withdrew its previously submitted 1997 annual particulate matter (‘‘PM2.5’’) National Ambient Air Quality Standard (‘‘NAAQS’’) attainment demonstration, contingency measures, reasonably available control measures/reasonably available control technology (‘‘RACM/ RACT’’) and reasonable further progress (‘‘RFP’’) requirements for the Metro Atlanta area. The State of Georgia did not withdraw any portions of its previous submittal for the Metro Atlanta area that pertain to emissions inventories. On February 16, 2012 the State of Georgia withdrew its previously submitted 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS attainment demonstration and volatile organic compound (‘‘VOC’’) and nitrogen oxides (‘‘NO X ’’) contingency measures for the Metro Atlanta area.

The proposed consent decree provides various dates by which EPA shall sign one or more final rules to approve or disapprove, in whole or in part, pursuant to CAA section 110(k)(2) and (3), each SIP submission or portion thereof on which EPA has not yet taken final action. If any State withdraws any of the SIP submittals described in the proposed consent decree, then EPA’s obligation to take the corresponding action on such SIP submittal is automatically terminated.

The proposed consent decree requires that, following signature of each final rule described in the proposed consent decree, EPA shall promptly deliver the notice to the Office of the Federal Register for review and publication in the Federal Register . After EPA fulfills its obligations under the proposed consent decree, the consent decree shall be terminated and the case dismissed with prejudice.

For a period of thirty (30) days following the date of publication of this notice, the Agency will accept written comments relating to the proposed
