36274 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 117 / Monday, June 18, 2012 / Notices 

General information concerning the 

SAB can be found on the EPA 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 advice to the Administrator on 

the technical basis for Agency positions 

and regulations. The BOSC was 

established by the EPA to provide 

advice, information, and 

recommendations regarding the ORD 

research program. The SAB and BOSC 

are Federal Advisory Committees 

chartered under the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act (FACA), 5 U.S.C., App. 

2. Pursuant to FACA and EPA policy, 

notice is hereby given that the chartered 

SAB and chartered BOSC will hold a 

joint public meeting to discuss advice 

on ORD’s research programs. The SAB 

and BOSC will comply with the 

provisions of FACA and all appropriate 

SAB Staff Office procedural policies. 

ORD has restructured its research 

programs to better understand 

environmental problems and inform 

sustainable solutions to meet EPA’s 

strategic goals. The restructured 

research programs comprise six program 

areas: Air, Climate, and Energy; Safe 

and Sustainable Water Resources; 

Sustainable and Healthy Communities; 

Chemical Safety for Sustainability; 

Human Health Risk Assessment; and 

Homeland Security. 

ORD requested that the SAB work 

jointly with the BOSC in 2011 to 

provide early advice on ORD strategic 

research directions. In response, the 

SAB and BOSC held a joint public 

meeting on June 29–30, 2011 (76 FR 

32198–32199) and a public 

teleconference on September 19, 2011 

(76 FR 54463) to develop a report, Office 

of Research and Development (ORD) 

New Strategic Research Directions: A 

Joint Report of the Science Advisory 

Board (SAB) and ORD Board of 

Scientific Councilors (BOSC), EPA– 

SAB–12–001. After receiving this 

advisory report, ORD requested SAB 

and BOSC additional advice on ORD’s 

research implementation plans, efforts 

to strengthen program integration and 

efforts to strengthen and measure 

innovation. The SAB and BOSC will 

focus on those topics at the July 10–11, 

2012 meeting. 

Availability of Meeting Materials: A 

meeting agenda and other materials for 

the meeting will be placed on the SAB 

Web site at http://epa.gov/sab. 

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 pertaining to the group 

providing advice, EPA’s charge 

questions and EPA review or 

background documents. 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 

panel to consider or if it relates to the 

clarity or accuracy of the technical 

information. Members of the public 

wishing to provide comment should 

contact the DFO for the relevant 

advisory committee directly. Oral 

Statements: In general, individuals or 

groups requesting an oral presentation 

at a public meeting will be limited to 

five minutes. To be placed on the public 

speaker list for the July 10–11, 2012 

meeting, interested parties should notify 

Dr. Angela Nugent, DFO, by email no 

later than July 3, 2012. Written 

Statements: Written statements for the 

July 10–11, 2012 meeting should be 

received in the SAB Staff Office by 

July 3, 2012, so that the information 

may be made available to the SAB and 

BOSC for their consideration prior to 

this meeting. Written statements should 

be supplied to the DFO in the following 

formats: one hard copy with original 

signature and one electronic copy via 

email (acceptable file format: Adobe 

Acrobat PDF, MS Word, WordPerfect, 

MS PowerPoint, or Rich Text files in 

IBM–PC/Windows 98/2000/XP format). 

Submitters are asked to provide 

electronic versions of each document 

submitted with and without signatures, 

because the SAB Staff Office does not 

publish documents with signatures on 

its Web sites. 

Accessibility: For information on 

access or services for individuals with 

disabilities, please contact Dr. Nugent 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.

Deputy Director, EPA Science Advisory Board 

Staff Office.

Alabama 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of tentative approval. 

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that 

the State of Alabama is revising its 

approved Public Water System 

Supervision Program. Alabama has 

adopted the following rules: Long Term 

1 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment 

Rule, Long Term 2 Enhanced Surface 

Water Treatment Rule, and Stage 2 

Disinfection/Disinfection Byproducts 

Rule. EPA has determined that 

Alabama’s rules are no less stringent 

than the corresponding federal 

regulations. Therefore, EPA is 

tentatively approving this revision to 

the State of Alabama’s Public Water 

System Supervision Program. 

DATES: Any interested person may 

request a public hearing. A request for 

a public hearing must be submitted by 

July 18, 2012, to the Regional

address shown below. The Regional 

Administrator may deny frivolous or 

insubstantial requests for a hearing. 

However, if a substantial request for a 

public hearing is made by July 18, 2012, 

a public hearing will be held. If EPA 

Region 4 does not receive a timely and 

appropriate request for a hearing and 

the Regional Administrator does not 

elect to hold a hearing on her own 

motion, this determination shall become 

final and effective on July 18, 2012. Any 

request for a public hearing shall 

include the following information: The 

name, address, and telephone number of 

the individual, organization, or other 

entity requesting a hearing; a brief 

statement of the requesting person’s 

interest in the Regional Administrator’s 

determination and a brief statement of 

the information that the requesting 

person intends to submit at such 

hearing; and the signature of the 

individual making the request, or, if the 

request is made on behalf of an 

organization or other entity, the 

signature of a responsible official of the 

organization or other entity.
