Notification of Two Public 

Teleconferences of the Science 

Advisory Board; Environmental 

Economics Advisory Committee 

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. 

General information concerning the 

SAB can be found on the SAB Web site 

at http://www.epa.gov/sab. 

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://

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.

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 (‘‘NOX’’) 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
