**AGENCY :**  Environmental Protection Agency.

**ACTION :**  Notice.

**SUMMARY :**  The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Science Advisory Board (SAB) Staff Office requests public nominations for scientific experts to form a CASAC ad hoc panel to provide advice through the chartered CASAC on the scientific and technical aspects of air quality criteria and the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for particulate matter (PM).

**DATES :**  Nominations should be submitted by February 25, 2015 per
instructions below.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  Any member of the public wishing further information regarding this Notice and Request for Nominations may contact Mr. Aaron Yeow, Designated Federal Officer (DFO), SAB Staff Office, by telephone/voice mail at (202) 564–2050

CASAC can be found at the CASAC Web

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

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :** 

Background: The Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC) was established under section 109(d)(2) of the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act) (42 U.S.C. 7409) as an independent scientific advisory committee. CASAC provides advice, information and
recommendations on the scientific and technical aspects of air quality criteria and NAAQS under sections 108 and 109
of the Act. The CASAC is a Federal advisory committee chartered under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA). As amended, 5 U.S.C., App. Section 109(d)(1) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) requires that EPA carry out a periodic review and revision, as appropriate, of the air quality criteria and the NAAQS for the six ‘‘criteria’’ air pollutants, including PM. As a Federal Advisory Committee, the CASAC conducts business in accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) (5 U.S.C. App. 2) and related regulations. The CASAC and the CASAC PM Review Panel will comply with the provisions of FACA and all appropriate SAB Staff Office procedural policies.

Request for Nominations: The SAB Staff Office is seeking nominations of nationally and internationally recognized scientists with demonstrated expertise and research in the field of air pollution related to PM. Experts are sought in: air quality and climate responses, atmospheric science and chemistry, dosimetry, toxicology, controlled clinical exposure, epidemiology, biostatistics, human exposure modeling, risk assessment/ modeling, characterization of PM concentrations and light extinction, and visibility impairment and related
welfare effects.

Process and Deadline for Submitting

Nominations: Any interested person or organization may nominate qualified individuals in the areas of expertise
described above. Nominations should be
submitted in electronic format (preferred over hard copy) following the instructions for ‘‘Nominating Experts to Advisory Panels and Ad Hoc Committees Being Formed,’’ provided on the CASAC Web site. If you wish to nominate yourself or another expert, please follow the instructions that can be accessed through the ‘‘Nomination of Experts’’ link on the blue navigational
bar at the CASAC Web site http:// www.epa.gov/casac. To receive full consideration, nominations should include all of the information requested
below.

EPA’s SAB 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 resume or curriculum vitae; sources of recent grant and/or contract support; and a biographical sketch of the nominee indicating current position, educational background, research activities, 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 CASAC Web site, should contact Mr. Aaron Yeow, DFO, as indicated above in
this notice. Nominations should be

EPA values and welcomes diversity.
In an effort to obtain nominations of diverse candidates, EPA encourages


### 6087 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 23 / Wednesday, February 4, 2015 / Notices

nominations of women and men of all racial and ethnic groups.

The EPA SAB Staff Office will acknowledge receipt of nominations. The names and biosketches of qualified nominees identified by respondents to
this Federal Register notice, and additional experts identified by the SAB Staff, will be posted in a List of
Candidates on the CASAC Web site at http://www.epa.gov/casac. Public
comments on this 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 this expert panel, the SAB Staff Office will consider public comments on the List 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 lack of impartiality; (e) skills working in committees, subcommittees and advisory panels; and, (f) for the panel as a whole, diversity of expertise and viewpoints.

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 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 a 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 the following URL
address http://www.epa.gov/sab/pdf/ epaform3110-48.pdf.

The approved policy under which the
EPA SAB Office selects 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 the SAB
Web site at http://www.epa.gov/sab/pdf/ ec02010.pdf.

Dated: January 28, 2015.

**TSCA Sections 402(a), 402(c), and 406(b) Program Authorization** 

**AGENCY :**  Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

**ACTION :**  Notice; final approval.

**SUMMARY :**  On May 19, 2014, the Bois Forte Band of Chippewa (Bois Forte) submitted a complete application under
section 404 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) requesting
authorization to administer and enforce the requirements for TSCA sections 402(a), 402(c), and 406(b) in accordance with the provisions of TSCA for trust
lands located within the exterior
boundaries of the reservation. Notice of the Bois Forte application, a solicitation for public comment regarding the application and background information supporting the application was published in the Federal Register of June 23, 2014. Today’s notice announces the approval of Bois Forte’s application, and the authorization of the Bois Forte Band of Chippewa’s TSCA sections 402(a), 402(c) and 406(b) programs, to apply on the Bois Forte reservation, effective November 13, 2014, in lieu of the corresponding federal programs.

**DATES :**  Lead-based paint activities and renovation program authorization was granted to the Bois Forte Band of Chippewa effective on November 13,

2014.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  Emma Avant, Land and Chemicals Division (LCD), Toxics Section, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 77 W. Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, IL 60604; telephone number: (312) 886– 7899; email address: avant.emma@

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  I. Background

Pursuant to Title IV of TSCA, Lead Exposure Reduction, 15 U.S.C. 2681– 2692, and regulations promulgated thereunder, States and Tribes that choose to apply for authorization of a lead-based paint activities program (TSCA Section 402(a) and 40 CFR part 745, subpart L) and a renovation program (TSCA Sections 402(c) and 406(b) and 40 CFR part 745, subpart E) must submit a complete application to the appropriate Regional EPA office for review. Complete, final applications will be subject to a public comment period, and reviewed by EPA within 180 days of receipt. To receive EPA approval, a State or Tribe must demonstrate that its program is at least as protective of human health and the environment as the federal program, and will provide for adequate enforcement. As determined by EPA’s review and assessment, the Bois Forte application successfully demonstrated that the Tribe’s lead-based paint activities and renovation programs achieve the protectiveness and enforcement criteria,
and have otherwise satisfied the statutory criteria required for federal authorization. Furthermore, no public comments were received, during or following the public comment period, regarding any aspect of the Bois Forte application. EPA announced solicitation for public comment regarding the application in the Federal Register of June 23, 2014 (79 FR 35540) (FRL– 9912–59–Region 5: EPA–R05–OPPT– 2014–0360).

II. Federal Overfilling

Section 404(b) of TSCA makes it unlawful for any person to violate, or fail or refuse to comply with, any requirement of an approved State or Tribal program. Therefore, EPA reserves the right to exercise its enforcement authority under TSCA against a violation of, or a failure or refusal to comply with, any requirement of the Bois Forte Lead Program to the extent that such requirement is consistent with
federal law.

III. Withdrawal of Authorization

Pursuant to TSCA section 404(c), 15 U.S.C. 2684(c), the Administrator may withdraw a State or Tribal program authorization, after notice and opportunity for corrective action, if the program is not being administered or enforced in compliance with standards, regulations and other requirements
established under the authorization. The procedures EPA will follow for the
withdrawal of an authorization are found at 40 CFR 745.324(i).
