History of SAB Hydraulic Fracturing 

Research Advisory Panel: In April 2012, 

the EPA’s Office of Research and 

Development asked the SAB to conduct 

a peer review and provide advice to the 

agency on the scientific quality of its 

research study report on the potential 

impacts of hydraulic fracturing on 

drinking water resources. In response to 

that request, the SAB Staff Office 

formed the SAB Hydraulic Fracturing 

Research Advisory Panel. In 2013 the 

SAB panel members provided their 

individual expert comments in response 

to charge questions relating to the 

December 2012 progress report entitled, 

Study of the Potential Impacts of 

Hydraulic Fracturing on Drinking Water 

Resources: Progress Report. The panel 

also held a teleconference call in 2013 

to receive public comments on new and 

emerging information related to 

hydraulic fracturing and drinking water 

resources. Information on the formation 

of the panel and its previous activities 

is provided on the SAB Web site at

of the Science Advisory Board 

Biogenic Carbon Emissions Panel 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA or Agency) Science 

Advisory Board (SAB) Staff Office 

announces three teleconferences of the 

SAB Biogenic Carbon Emissions Panel 

to review EPA’s Framework for 

Assessing Biogenic CO2 Emissions from 

Stationary Sources (November 2014). 

DATES: The public teleconferences will 

be held on July 6, 2015 from 11:00 a.m. 

to 2:00 p.m. (Eastern Time), August 6, 

2015 from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. 

(Eastern Time) and September 9, 2015 

from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. (Eastern 

Time). 

ADDRESSES: The teleconferences will be 

held by telephone only. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Any 

member of the public wishing further 

information regarding the public 

teleconferences may contact Dr. Holly 

Stallworth, Designated Federal Officer 

(DFO), SAB Staff Office, by telephone/ 

voice mail at (202) 564–2073 or via 

email at stallworth.holly@epa.gov. 

General information concerning the EPA 

Science Advisory Board can be found at 

the EPA SAB Web site at http://

www.epa.gov/sab. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background: The SAB was 

established pursuant to the 

Environmental Research, Development, 

and Demonstration Authorization Act 

(ERDAA) codified at 42 U.S.C. 4365, to 

provide independent scientific and 

technical peer review, advice, 

consultation, and recommendations to 

the EPA Administrator on the technical 

basis for EPA actions. As a Federal 

Advisory Committee, the SAB conducts 

business in accordance with the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act (FACA) (5 

U.S.C. App. 2) and related regulations. 

Pursuant to FACA and EPA policy, 

notice is hereby given that the SAB 

Biogenic Carbon Emissions Panel will 

hold three public teleconferences to 

review its draft report on EPA’s 

Framework for Assessing Biogenic CO2

Emissions from Stationary Sources 

(November 2014). The SAB will comply 

with the provisions of FACA and all 

appropriate SAB Staff Office procedural 

policies. 

As noticed in 80 FR 8867–8868, a 

face-to-face meeting of the Biogenic 

Carbon Emissions Panel was held on 

March 25 and 26, 2015 and a 

teleconference was held on May 29, 

2015. Background on the current 

advisory activity can be found on the 

SAB Web site at http://

Framework?OpenDocument. 

Availability of the meeting materials: 

Agendas and meeting materials will be 

posted on the SAB Web site prior to 

each teleconference. To locate these 

materials, go to epa.gov/sab and click on 

the calendar and then the respective 

teleconference dates. EPA’s review 

document, charge to the Panel and other 

background materials are also available 

at the URL above. For questions 

concerning EPA’s Framework for 

Assessing Biogenic CO2 Emissions from 

Stationary Sources (November 2014), 

please contact Sara Ohrel, Climate 

Change Division, at ohrel.sara@epa.gov 

or (202) 343–9712. 

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 on the topic of this advisory 

activity, including the charge to the 

panel and the EPA review documents, 

and/or the group conducting the 

activity, for the SAB to consider during 

the advisory process. 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

32114 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 108 / Friday, June 5, 2015 / Notices 

panel to consider or if it relates to the 

clarity or accuracy of the technical 

information. 

Oral Statements: In general, 

individuals or groups requesting an oral 

presentation will be limited to three 

minutes per speaker for each 

teleconference. Interested parties should 

contact Dr. Holly Stallworth, DFO, in 

writing (preferably via email), at the 

contact information noted above, by 

June 29, 2015 to be placed on the list of 

public speakers for the July 6, 2015 

teleconference; by July 30, 2015 for the 

August 6, 2015 teleconference; and by 

September 2, 2015 for the September 9, 

2015 teleconference. Written 

Statements: Written statements should 

be received in the SAB Staff Office in 

advance of each teleconference 

according to the same deadlines listed 

above for requesting oral comments. 

Written statements should be supplied 

to the DFO, preferably in electronic 

format via email. It is the SAB Staff 

Office general policy to post written 

comments on the Web page for the 

advisory meeting or teleconference. 

Submitters are requested to provide an 

unsigned version of each document 

because the SAB Staff Office does not 

publish documents with signatures on 

its Web sites. Members of the public 

should be aware that their personal 

contact information, if included in any 

written comments, may be posted to the 

SAB Web site. Copyrighted material will 

not be posted without explicit 

permission of the copyright holder. 

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.

One New Reference Method and Four 

New Equivalent Methods 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of designation of one 

reference method and three equivalent 

methods for monitoring ambient air 

quality. 

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that 

the Environmental Protection Agency 

(EPA) has designated, in accordance 

with 40 CFR part 53, one new reference 

method and one new equivalent for 

measuring concentrations of PM2.5, one 

new equivalent method for measuring 

PM10-2.5, and two new equivalent 

methods for measuring ozone (O3) in the 

ambient air.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

accordance with regulations at 40 CFR 

part 53, the EPA evaluates various 

methods for monitoring the 

concentrations of those ambient air 

pollutants for which EPA has 

established National Ambient Air 

Quality Standards (NAAQSs), as set 

forth in 40 CFR part 50. Monitoring 

methods that are determined to meet 

specific requirements for adequacy are 

designated by the EPA as either 

reference methods or equivalent 

methods (as applicable), thereby 

permitting their use under 40 CFR part 

58 by States and other agencies for 

determining compliance with the 

NAAQSs. 

The EPA hereby announces the 

designation of one new reference 

method for measuring PM2.5, one new 

equivalent method for measuring PM2.5, 

one new equivalent method for 

measuring PM10-2.5, and two equivalent 

methods for measuring ozone (O3) in the 

ambient air. These designations are 

made under the provisions of 40 CFR 

part 53, as amended on August 31, 2011 

(76 FR 54326–54341). 

The new reference method for PM2.5

is a manual monitoring method based 

on a particular PM2.5 sampler and is 

identified as follows:
