60-Day Notice Comments 

Comments: The Commission 

published a 60-day notice on November 

18, 2021, in the Federal Register (86 FR 

67042) and received one comment from 

the government agency, Bureau of 

Economic Analysis (BEA). 

BEA Comment: BEA comments that it 

is interested in any modifications that 

are made to the FERC Form Nos. 1 and 

1–F. BEA explains that it uses data from 

FERC Form Nos. 1 and 1–F indirectly in 

estimating the U.S. Census Bureau’s 

Construction Value Put in Place (VPIP) 

for electric utilities. BEA further 

explains that census VPIP serves a major 

source data input to the national income 

and product account (NIPA) structures 

investment estimates. BEA states that 

while it uses the information indirectly 

through the VPIP program, it is 

considered an indispensable data source 

to the NIPA estimates. 

FERC Response: The Commission 

finds BEA’s comments regarding the 

usefulness of the FERC Form Nos. 1 and 

1–F to be helpful. With respect to BEA’s 

concern about modifications to the 

forms, the Commission generally does 

not make any changes to the data 

collected in the financial forms without 

first offering a public process by which 

interested parties, like BEA, may 

comment on any proposals to change 

the collection. 

30-Day Notice Comments 

Comments: Comments are invited on: 

(1) Whether the collections of 

information are necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

Commission, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(2) the accuracy of the agency’s 

estimates of the burden and cost of the 

collections of information, including the 

validity of the methodology and 

assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information collections; and (4) ways to 

minimize the burden of the collections 

of information on those who are to 

respond, including the use of automated 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology. 

Dated: April 1, 2022.

Secretary.

Request for Nominations for the 

Science Advisory Board IRIS 

Chloroform (Inhalation) Review Panel 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) Science Advisory Board 

(SAB) Staff Office requests public 

nominations of scientific experts to form 

a Panel to review the draft EPA 

Integrated Risk Information System 

(IRIS) Toxicological Review of 

Chloroform (Inhalation). The draft 

cancer and non-cancer assessment 

includes a hazard identification 

analysis, which summarizes the 

available evidence on health effects that 

may be associated with environmental 

or occupational exposure, and doseresponse analysis, which characterizes 

the quantitative relationship between 

chloroform inhalation exposure and 

each credible health hazard. The SAB 

Chloroform Review Panel will consider 

whether the conclusions found in the 

EPA’s draft assessment are clearly 

presented and scientifically supported. 

The Panel will also be asked to provide 

recommendations on how the 

assessment may be strengthened.

DATES: Nominations should be 

submitted by April 29, 2022 per the 

instructions below. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Any 

member of the public wishing further 

information regarding this Notice and 

Request for Nominations may contact 

Dr. Suhair Shallal, Designated Federal 

Officer (DFO), EPA Science Advisory 

Board via telephone/voice mail (202)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: The SAB (42 U.S.C. 

4365) is a chartered Federal Advisory 

Committee that provides independent 

scientific and technical peer review, 

advice, 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. 

The SAB Staff Office is forming an 

expert panel, the SAB Chloroform 

Review Panel, under the auspices of the 

Chartered SAB. The SAB Chloroform 

Review Panel will provide advice 

through the chartered SAB. The SAB 

and the SAB Chloroform Review Panel 

will comply with the provisions of 

FACA and all appropriate SAB Staff 

Office procedural policies. 

The SAB Chloroform Review Panel 

will conduct a review of the draft EPA 

IRIS Toxicological Review of 

Chloroform (Inhalation). The draft 

cancer and non-cancer assessment 

includes a hazard identification 

analysis, which summarizes the 

chemical properties, pharmacokinetics, 

and health effects associated with 

environmental or occupational 

exposure, and dose-response analysis, 

which characterizes the quantitative 

relationship between chemical exposure 

and each credible health hazard. The 

SAB Chloroform Review Panel will 

consider whether the conclusions found 

in the EPA’s draft assessment are clearly 

presented and scientifically supported. 

The Panel will also be asked to provide 

recommendations on how the 

assessment may be strengthened. 

Request for Nominations: The SAB 

Staff Office is seeking nominations of 

nationally and internationally 

recognized scientists with demonstrated 

expertise in the following disciplines: 

Toxicology, specifically inhalation 

toxicology/dosimetry, hepatic and 

nephrological toxicology; epidemiology; 

systematic review; physiologically-based 

pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling; 

carcinogenesis; risk assessment; dose 

response analysis. 

Process and Deadline for Submitting 

Nominations: Any interested person or 

organization may nominate qualified 

individuals in the areas of expertise 

described above for possible service on 

the SAB Panel. Individuals may selfnominate. Nominations should be 

submitted in electronic format 

(preferred) using the online nomination 

form on the SAB website at https://

sab.epa.gov (see the ‘‘Public Input on 

Membership’’ list under ‘‘Committees, 

Panels, and Membership’’). To be 

considered, nominations should include 

the information requested below. EPA 

values and welcomes diversity. All 

qualified candidates are encouraged to 

apply regardless of sex, race, disability, 

or ethnicity. Nominations should be 

submitted in time to arrive no later than 

April 29, 2022. 

The following information should be 

provided on the nomination form: 

Contact information for the person 

making the nomination; contact 

information for the nominee; and the 

disciplinary and specific areas of 

expertise of the nominee. Nominees will 

be contacted by the SAB Staff Office and 

will be asked to provide a recent 

curriculum vitae and a narrative 

biographical summary that includes: 

Current position, educational 

background; research activities; sources 

of research funding for the last two 

years; 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 SAB website, should contact the 

DFO at the contact information noted 

above. The names and biosketches of 

qualified nominees identified by 

respondents to this Federal Register 

notice, and additional experts identified 

by the SAB Staff Office, will be posted 

in a List of Candidates for the Panel on 

the SAB website at https://sab.epa.gov. 

Public comments on the 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 the expert panel, the SAB Staff 

Office will consider public comments 

on the Lists 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 loss of impartiality; (e) 

skills working in committees, 

subcommittees and advisory panels; 

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

diversity of expertise and scientific 

points of view. 

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 Environmental Protection 

Agency Special Government 

Employees’’ (EPA Form 3110–48). This 

confidential form is required and allows 

government officials to determine 

whether there is a statutory conflict 

between a person’s public 

responsibilities (which include 

membership on an EPA federal advisory 

committee) and private interests and 

activities, or the appearance of a loss of 

impartiality, as defined by federal 

regulation. The form may be viewed and 

downloaded through the ‘‘Ethics 

Requirements for Advisors’’ link on the 

SAB website at https://sab.epa.gov. This 

form should not be submitted as part of 

a nomination. 

The approved policy under which the 

EPA SAB Office selects members for 

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
