SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: The Clean Air Scientific 

Advisory Committee (CASAC) was 

established under section 109(d)(2) of 

the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act) (42 

U.S.C. 7409) as an independent 

scientific advisory committee. CASAC 

provides advice, information and 

recommendations on the scientific and 

technical aspects of air quality criteria 

and NAAQS under sections 108 and 109 

of the Act. The CASAC is a Federal 

advisory committee chartered under the 

Federal Advisory Committee Act 

(FACA). As amended, 5 U.S.C., App. 

Section 109(d)(1) of the Clean Air Act 

(CAA) requires that EPA carry out a 

periodic review and revision, as 

appropriate, of the air quality criteria 

and the NAAQS for the six ‘‘criteria’’ air 

pollutants, including PM. As a Federal 

Advisory Committee, the CASAC 

conducts business in accordance with 

the Federal Advisory Committee Act 

(FACA) (5 U.S.C. App. 2) and related 

regulations. The CASAC and the 

CASAC PM Review Panel will comply 

with the provisions of FACA and all 

appropriate SAB Staff Office procedural 

policies. 

Request for Nominations: The SAB 

Staff Office is seeking nominations of 

nationally and internationally 

recognized scientists with demonstrated 

expertise and research in the field of air 

pollution related to PM. Experts are 

sought in: air quality and climate 

responses, atmospheric science and 

chemistry, dosimetry, toxicology, 

controlled clinical exposure, 

epidemiology, biostatistics, human 

exposure modeling, risk assessment/

modeling, characterization of PM 

concentrations and light extinction, and 

visibility impairment and related 

welfare effects. 

Process and Deadline for Submitting 

Nominations: Any interested person or 

organization may nominate qualified 

individuals in the areas of expertise 

described above. Nominations should be 

submitted in electronic format 

(preferred over hard copy) following the 

instructions for ‘‘Nominating Experts to 

Advisory Panels and Ad Hoc 

Committees Being Formed,’’ provided 

on the CASAC Web site. If you wish to 

nominate yourself or another expert, 

please follow the instructions that can 

be accessed through the ‘‘Nomination of 

Experts’’ link on the blue navigational

EPA values and welcomes diversity. 

In an effort to obtain nominations of 

diverse candidates, EPA encourages 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 23 / Wednesday, February 4, 2015 / Notices 6087 

nominations of women and men of all 

racial and ethnic groups. 

The EPA SAB Staff Office will 

acknowledge receipt of nominations. 

The names and biosketches of qualified 

nominees identified by respondents to 

this Federal Register notice, and 

additional experts identified by the SAB 

Staff, will be posted in a List of 

Candidates on the CASAC Web site at 

http://www.epa.gov/casac. Public 

comments on this List of Candidates 

will be accepted for 21 days. The public 

will be requested to provide relevant 

information or other documentation on 

nominees that the SAB Staff Office 

should consider in evaluating 

candidates. 

For the EPA SAB Staff Office a 

balanced review panel includes 

candidates who possess the necessary 

domains of knowledge, the relevant 

scientific perspectives (which, among 

other factors, can be influenced by work 

history and affiliation), and the 

collective breadth of experience to 

adequately address the charge. In 

forming this expert panel, the SAB Staff 

Office will consider public comments 

on the List of Candidates, information 

provided by the candidates themselves, 

and background information 

independently gathered by the SAB 

Staff Office. Selection criteria to be used 

for panel membership include: (a) 

Scientific and/or technical expertise, 

knowledge, and experience (primary 

factors); (b) availability and willingness 

to serve; (c) absence of financial 

conflicts of interest; (d) absence of an 

appearance of a lack of impartiality; (e) 

skills working in committees, 

subcommittees and advisory panels; 

and, (f) for the panel as a whole, 

diversity of expertise and viewpoints. 

The SAB Staff Office’s evaluation of 

an absence of financial conflicts of 

interest will include a review of 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 allows 

government officials to determine 

whether there is a statutory conflict 

between a person’s public 

responsibilities (which includes 

membership on an EPA federal advisory 

committee) and private interests and 

activities, or the appearance of a lack of 

impartiality, as defined by federal 

regulation. The form may be viewed and 

downloaded from the following URL 

address http://www.epa.gov/sab/pdf/

epaform3110-48.pdf. 

The approved policy under which the 

EPA SAB Office selects subcommittees 

and review panels is described in the 

following document: Overview of the 

Panel Formation Process at the 

Environmental Protection Agency 

Science Advisory Board (EPA–SAB–EC– 

02–010), which is posted on the SAB

TSCA Sections 402(a), 402(c), and 

406(b) Program Authorization 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice; final approval. 

SUMMARY: On May 19, 2014, the Bois 

Forte Band of Chippewa (Bois Forte) 

submitted a complete application under 

section 404 of the Toxic Substances 

Control Act (TSCA) requesting 

authorization to administer and enforce 

the requirements for TSCA sections 

402(a), 402(c), and 406(b) in accordance 

with the provisions of TSCA for trust 

lands located within the exterior 

boundaries of the reservation. Notice of 

the Bois Forte application, a solicitation 

for public comment regarding the 

application and background information 

supporting the application was 

published in the Federal Register of 

June 23, 2014. Today’s notice 

announces the approval of Bois Forte’s 

application, and the authorization of the 

Bois Forte Band of Chippewa’s TSCA 

sections 402(a), 402(c) and 406(b) 

programs, to apply on the Bois Forte 

reservation, effective November 13, 

2014, in lieu of the corresponding 

federal programs. 

DATES: Lead-based paint activities and 

renovation program authorization was 

granted to the Bois Forte Band of 

Chippewa effective on November 13,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Pursuant to Title IV of TSCA, Lead 

Exposure Reduction, 15 U.S.C. 2681– 

2692, and regulations promulgated 

thereunder, States and Tribes that 

choose to apply for authorization of a 

lead-based paint activities program 

(TSCA Section 402(a) and 40 CFR part 

745, subpart L) and a renovation 

program (TSCA Sections 402(c) and 

406(b) and 40 CFR part 745, subpart E) 

must submit a complete application to 

the appropriate Regional EPA office for 

review. Complete, final applications 

will be subject to a public comment 

period, and reviewed by EPA within 

180 days of receipt. To receive EPA 

approval, a State or Tribe must 

demonstrate that its program is at least 

as protective of human health and the 

environment as the federal program, and 

will provide for adequate enforcement. 

As determined by EPA’s review and 

assessment, the Bois Forte application 

successfully demonstrated that the 

Tribe’s lead-based paint activities and 

renovation programs achieve the 

protectiveness and enforcement criteria, 

and have otherwise satisfied the 

statutory criteria required for federal 

authorization. Furthermore, no public 

comments were received, during or 

following the public comment period, 

regarding any aspect of the Bois Forte 

application. EPA announced solicitation 

for public comment regarding the 

application in the Federal Register of 

June 23, 2014 (79 FR 35540) (FRL– 

9912–59–Region 5: EPA–R05–OPPT– 

2014–0360). 

II. Federal Overfilling 

Section 404(b) of TSCA makes it 

unlawful for any person to violate, or 

fail or refuse to comply with, any 

requirement of an approved State or 

Tribal program. Therefore, EPA reserves 

the right to exercise its enforcement 

authority under TSCA against a 

violation of, or a failure or refusal to 

comply with, any requirement of the 

Bois Forte Lead Program to the extent 

that such requirement is consistent with 

federal law. 

III. Withdrawal of Authorization 

Pursuant to TSCA section 404(c), 15 

U.S.C. 2684(c), the Administrator may 

withdraw a State or Tribal program 

authorization, after notice and 

opportunity for corrective action, if the 

program is not being administered or 

enforced in compliance with standards, 

regulations and other requirements 

established under the authorization. The 

procedures EPA will follow for the 

withdrawal of an authorization are 

found at 40 CFR 745.324(i).
