SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: The President directed that 

the Commission be established to 

conduct a comprehensive review of 

policies for managing the back end of 

the nuclear fuel cycle. The Commission 

will provide advice and make 

recommendations on issues including 

alternatives for the storage, processing, 

and disposal of civilian and defense 

spent nuclear fuel and nuclear waste. 

The Co-chairs of the Commission 

requested the formation of the RFCT 

Subcommittee to answer the question: 

‘‘[d]o technical alternatives to today’s 

once-through fuel cycle offer sufficient 

promise to warrant serious 

consideration and R&D investment, and 

do these technologies hold significant 

potential to influence the way in which 

used fuel is stored and disposed?’’ 

Purpose of the Meeting: The meeting 

will primarily focus on the evaluation of 

advantages and disadvantages of 

adopting new fuel cycle technologies 

and the associated waste management 

implications of these technologies. The 

meeting will also address proliferation 

and security risks associated with new 

fuel cycle technologies. 

Tentative Agenda: The meeting is 

expected to start at 8:15 a.m. on October

various scientific and engineering fields. 

EPA is soliciting candidates to fill 

several vacancies. EPA will consider 

candidates from the environmental 

scientific/technical fields, human health 

care professionals, academia, industry, 

public and private research institutes or 

organizations, non-government 

organizations, and other relevant

bioinformatics); socioeconomics; 

environmental justice, science policy 

(research, policy, and outcomes 

interface); endocrine disrupting 

chemicals; climate change

sustainability (systems engineering, lifecycle assessment, green chemistry/ 

technology); risk assessment (human 

health and ecological); and risk

EPA’s BOSC Staff Office requests: 

contact information about the person 

making the nomination; contact 

information about the nominee; the 

disciplinary and specific areas of 

expertise of the nominee; the nominee’s 

curriculum vita and/or resume; sources 

of recent grant and/or contract support; 

and a biographical sketch of the 

nominee indicating current position, 

educational background, and recent 

service on other national advisory 

committees or national professional 

organizations. Persons having questions 

about the nomination procedures, or 

who are unable to submit nominations 

through the BOSC web site, should 

contact Ms. Heather Drumm, as 

indicated above in this notice. 

For the EPA BOSC Staff Office, a 

balanced committee 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. Selection 

criteria to be used for 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 on 

committees, subcommittees and 

advisory panels; and (f) diversity of 

expertise and viewpoints. EPA values 

and welcomes diversity. In an effort to 

obtain nominations of diverse 

candidates, EPA encourages 

nominations of women and men of all 

racial and ethnic groups. 

The BOSC 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 that 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
