Request for Nominations to the EPA 

Clean Air Scientific Advisory 

Committee (CASAC) 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) invites 

nominations of scientific experts to be 

considered for appointment to the Clean 

Air Scientific Advisory Committee 

(CASAC). Appointments will be made 

by the Administrator. 

DATES: Nominations should be 

submitted in time to arrive no later than 

November 6, 2024. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

further information about the CASAC 

membership, appointment process, and 

schedule, please contact Mr. Aaron 

Yeow, DFO, by telephone at 202–564– 

2050, or by email at yeow.aaron@

epa.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: The CASAC is a 

chartered Federal Advisory Committee, 

established pursuant to the Clean Air 

Act (CAA) Amendments of 1977, 

codified at 42 U.S.C. 7409(d)(2), to 

review air quality criteria and National 

Ambient Air Quality Standards 

(NAAQS) and recommend to the EPA 

Administrator any new NAAQS and 

revisions of existing criteria and 

standards as may be appropriate. The 

CASAC shall also: advise the EPA 

Administrator of areas in which 

additional knowledge is required to 

appraise the adequacy and basis of 

existing, new, or revised NAAQS; 

describe the research efforts necessary 

to provide the required information; 

advise the EPA Administrator on the 

relative contribution to air pollution 

concentrations of natural as well as 

anthropogenic activity; and advise the 

EPA Administrator of any adverse 

public health, welfare, social, economic, 

or energy effects which may result from 

various strategies for attainment and 

maintenance of such NAAQS. Members 

of the CASAC constitute a distinguished 

body of non-EPA scientists and 

engineers who are nationally and 

internationally recognized experts in 

their respective fields. Members are 

appointed by the EPA Administrator 

and serve for a two to three-year term 

as Special Government Employees who 

provide independent expert advice to 

the agency. Additional information is 

available at https://casac.epa.gov. 

Expertise Sought for the CASAC: As 

required under the CAA section 109(d), 

the CASAC is composed of seven 

members, with at least one member of 

the National Academy of Sciences, one 

physician, and one person representing 

state air pollution control agencies. The 

SAB Staff Office is seeking nominations 

of experts to serve on the CASAC 

representing state air pollution control 

agencies. These scientists should have 

expertise in one or more of the 

following disciplines: air quality, 

biostatistics, ecology, environmental 

engineering, epidemiology, exposure 

assessment, medicine, risk assessment, 

and toxicology. The SAB Staff Office is 

especially interested in scientists with 

expertise described above who have 

knowledge and experience relating to 

criteria pollutants (carbon monoxide, 

lead, nitrogen oxides, ozone, particulate 

matter, and sulfur oxides). 

Selection Criteria for the CASAC: 

Nominees are selected based on their 

individual qualifications. Curriculum 

vitae should reflect the following: 

—Demonstrated scientific credentials 

and disciplinary expertise in relevant 

fields; 

—Willingness to commit time to the 

committee and demonstrated ability 

to work constructively and effectively 

on committees; 

—Background and experiences that 

would help members contribute to the 

diversity of perspectives on the 

committee, e.g., geographical, 

economic, social, cultural, 

educational backgrounds, professional 

affiliations, and other considerations; 

—For the committee as a whole, 

consideration of the collective breadth 

and depth of scientific expertise; and 

a balance of scientific perspectives is 

important. 

As the committee undertakes specific 

advisory activities, the SAB Staff Office 

will consider two additional criteria for 

each new activity: absence of financial 

conflicts of interest and absence of an 

appearance of a loss of impartiality. 

How to Submit Nominations: Any 

interested person or organization may 

nominate qualified persons to be 

considered for appointment to this 

advisory committee. Individuals may 

self-nominate. Nominations should be 

submitted in electronic format 

(preferred) using the online nomination 

form under the ‘‘Nomination of Experts’’ 

category at the bottom of the CASAC 

home page at https://casac.epa.gov. To 

be considered, all nominations should 

include the information requested 

below. EPA values and welcomes 

diversity. All qualified candidates are 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 194 / Monday, October 7, 2024 / Notices 81075 

encouraged to apply regardless of sex,

The following information should be 

provided on the nomination form: 

contact information for the person 

making the nomination; contact 

information for the nominee; and the 

disciplinary and specific areas of 

expertise of the nominee. Nominees will 

be contacted and asked to provide 

additional information, including a 

curriculum vitae and biographical 

sketch (indicating current position, 

educational background, research 

activities, sources of research funding 

for the last two years, and recent service 

on other national advisory committees 

or national professional organizations). 

To help the agency evaluate the 

effectiveness of its outreach efforts, 

please indicate how you learned of this 

nomination opportunity. Persons having 

questions about the nomination process 

or the public comment process 

described below, or who are unable to 

submit nominations through the CASAC 

website, should contact the DFO, as 

identified above. The DFO will 

acknowledge receipt of nominations and 

will invite the nominee to provide any 

additional information that the nominee 

feels would be useful in considering the 

nomination, such as availability to 

participate as a member of the 

committee; how the nominee’s 

background, skills and experience 

would contribute to the diversity of the 

committee; and any questions the 

nominee has regarding membership. 

The names and biosketches of qualified 

nominees identified by respondents to 

this Federal Register notice, and 

additional experts identified by the SAB 

Staff Office, will be posted in a List of 

Candidates on the CASAC website at 

https://casac.epa.gov. Public comments 

on each List of Candidates will be 

accepted for 21 days from the date the 

list is posted. The public will be 

requested to provide relevant 

information or other documentation on 

nominees that the SAB Staff Office 

should consider in evaluating 

candidates. 

Candidates may be asked to submit 

the ‘‘Confidential Financial Disclosure 

Form for Special Government 

Employees Serving on Federal Advisory 

Committees at the U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency’’ (EPA Form 3110– 

48). This confidential form is required 

for Special Government Employees 

(SGEs) and allows EPA to determine 

whether there is a statutory conflict 

between that person’s public 

responsibilities as an SGE and private 

interests and activities, or the 

appearance of a loss of impartiality, as 

defined by Federal regulation. The form 

may be viewed and downloaded 

through the ‘‘Ethics Requirements for 

Advisors’’ link on the CASAC home 

page at https://casac.epa.gov. This form 

should not be submitted as part of a 

nomination.
