Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 66 / Wednesday, April 6, 2016 / Notices 19967 

The Commission grants affected 

landowners and others with 

environmental concerns intervenor 

status upon showing good cause by 

stating that they have a clear and direct 

interest in this proceeding which no 

other party can adequately represent. 

Simply filing environmental comments 

will not give you intervenor status, but 

you do not need intervenor status to 

have your comments considered.

Agency. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) invites 

nominations of scientific experts from a 

diverse range of disciplines to be 

considered for appointment to the Clean 

Air Scientific Advisory Committee 

(CASAC) and the EPA Science Advisory 

Board (SAB) and five SAB committees 

described in this notice. Appointments 

are anticipated to be filled by the start 

of Fiscal Year 2017 (October 2016). 

DATES: Nominations should be 

submitted in time to arrive no later than 

May 6, 2016.

committees, as identified below. 

General inquiries regarding the work of 

the CASAC, the SAB or SAB committees 

also may be directed to the appropriate 

DFO. 

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 

provide advice, information and 

recommendations to the Administrator 

on the scientific and technical aspects of 

air quality criteria and National 

Ambient Air Quality Standards. The 

SAB is a chartered Federal Advisory 

Committee, established in 1978 under 

the authority of the Environmental 

Research, Development and 

Demonstration Authorization Act 

(ERDDAA), codified at 42 U.S.C. 4365, 

to provide independent scientific and 

technical peer review, consultation, 

advice and recommendations to the EPA 

Administrator on the scientific bases for 

EPA’s actions and programs. Members 

of the CASAC and the SAB constitute 

distinguished bodies of non-EPA 

scientists, engineers, economists, and 

behavioral and social scientists who are 

nationally and internationally 

recognized experts in their respective 

fields. Members are appointed by the 

EPA Administrator for a three-year term 

and serve as Special Government 

Employees who provide independent 

expert advice to the agency. Additional 

information about the CASAC is 

available at http://www.epa.gov/casac 

and information about the SAB is

Expertise Sought for CASAC: 

Established in 1977 under the Clean Air 

Act (CAA) Amendments, the chartered 

CASAC reviews and offers scientific 

advice to the EPA Administrator on 

technical aspects of national ambient air 

quality standards for criteria pollutants 

(ozone; particulate matter; carbon 

monoxide; nitrogen oxides; sulfur 

dioxide; and lead). As required under 

the CAA section 109(d), CASAC is 

composed of seven members, with at 

least one member of the National 

Academy of Sciences, one physician,
