calendar year, the quantity of material

sent to them for reclamation, the mass

of refrigerant reclaimed, and the mass of

waste products. EPA sent to each of the

reclaimers an information collection

request issued pursuant to section

114(a) of the Act, dated March 31, 2000,

in which EPA requested that the

reclaimers submit the required annual

report. That information request

indicated that failure to respond could

result in revocation of their EPA

certification.

In accordance with 40 CFR 82.164(g),

EPA revoked the certifications of these

reclaimers on November 21, 2000.

Therefore, these businesses are no

longer authorized to reclaim used

refrigerant for sale to a new owner.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

AGENCY

[FRL–6911–7]

Science Advisory Board; Request for

Nomination of Members and

Consultants

The U.S. Environmental Protection

Agency’s Science Advisory Board

(SAB), including the Clean Air

Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC)

and the Advisory Council on Clean Air

Compliance Analysis (Council), of the

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

is soliciting nominations for Members

and Consultants (M/Cs). As part of this

effort, the Agency is publishing this

notice to describe the purpose of the

SAB and to invite the public to

nominate appropriately qualified

candidates of any gender or ethnic

background to fill upcoming vacancies.

This process supplements other efforts

to identify qualified candidates.

The SAB is composed of Non-Federal

Government scientists and engineers

who are employed on an intermittent

basis to provide independent advice

directly to the EPA Administrator on

technical aspects of public health and

environmental issues confronting the

Agency. Members of the SAB are

appointed by the Administrator—

generally in October—to serve two years

terms with some possibilities for

reappointment. Consultants are

appointed throughout the year, as the

need arises, by the SAB Staff Director to

serve renewable one-year terms and

serve on SAB committees, as needed, to

support the work of the Board. Many

individuals serve as Consultants prior to

serving as Members.

Any interested person or organization

may nominate qualified persons to serve

on the SAB. Nominees should be

qualified by education, training, and

experience to evaluate scientific,

engineering and/or economics

information on issues referred to and

addressed by the Board. Successful

candidates have distinguished

themselves professionally and should be

available to invest the time and effort to

advance the cause of the supporting the

use of good science through the efforts

of the SAB.

Members and Consultants (M/Cs)

most often serve in association with one

of the following standing committees:

Advisory Council on Clean Air

Compliance Analysis, Clean Air

Scientific Advisory Committee,

Drinking Water Committee, Ecological

Processes and Effects Committee,

Environmental Economics Advisory

Committee, Environmental Engineering

Committee, Environmental Health

Committee, Integrated Human Exposure

Committee, Radiation Advisory

Committee, and Research Strategies

Advisory Committee.

M/Cs can expect to attend 1–6

meetings per year, based upon the

activity of the committee on which they

serve. M/Cs generally serve as Special

Government Employees (SGEs) (40 CFR

part 3, subpart F or EPA Ethics Advisory

88–6 dated 7/6/88) and receive

compensation, in addition to

reimbursement at the Federal

government rate for travel and per diem

expenses while serving on the SAB.

Prior to their appointment, SGEs are

required to complete an information

package, including a Confidential

Financial Disclosure Report.

Membership appointments associated

with this solicitation will begin in the

fall of 2001. While it is too early to

know for certain what types of expertise

will be needed, it is likely that at least

some of the new members will have

expertise in the following areas:

Air pollution effects on plant life.

Criteria air pollutants.

Dietary intake exposure.

Engineering options for risk reduction.

Environmental modeling.

Environmental microbiology.

General toxicology.

Landscape ecology.

Risk assessment modeling.

Nominees should be identified by

name, occupation, position, address,

telephone number, fax number, email

address, and SAB committee of primary

interest. Nominations should include a

current resume that addresses the

nominee’s background, experience,

qualifications, and specific areas of

expertise.

Information on the nominees will be

entered into the SAB’s data base for

potential M/Cs which will be consulted,

as appropriate, when vacancies arise

and/or when special expertise is needed

for particular reviews. This request for

nominations does not imply any

commitment by the Agency to select

individuals to serve as a M/C to the SAB

from the responses received.

Nominations should be submitted to:

Ms. Carolyn Osborne, Project

Coordinator, Science Advisory Board

(1400A), USEPA, 1200 Pennsylvania

Avenue, Washington, DC 20460 Tel:

(202) 564–4533 no later than February 1,

its structure, function, and composition,
