modeling applications, tools and 

frameworks as well as new operational 

initiatives for FY 2014 among the 

participating agencies. This meeting is 

re-scheduled from October 22–23, 2013

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: In 2001, six Federal 

agencies began formal cooperation 

under a Memorandum of Understanding 

(MOU) on the research and 

development of multimedia (i.e. air, 

soil, water) environmental models. This 

MOU established the Federal 

Interagency Steering Committee on 

Multimedia Environmental Modeling 

(ISCMEM). The MOU was revised and 

renewed in 2006 and again in 2011. The 

MOU establishes a framework for 

facilitating cooperation and 

coordination among research 

organizations in the participating 

agencies. So far, seven agencies have 

signed the current renewal of the MOU: 

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 

(Engineer Research and Development 

Center); the U.S. Department of 

Agriculture (National Resources 

Conservation Service); the U.S. 

Department of Energy (Office of 

Environmental Management); the U.S. 

Department of the Interior (U.S. 

Geological Survey); the U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency 

(Office of Research and Development); 

the U.S. National Science Foundation 

(Geosciences Directorate); and the U.S. 

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (Office 

of Nuclear Regulatory Research). Other 

agencies are considering signing the 

revised MOU. 

In ISCMEM, agencies cooperate and 

coordinate in research and development 

of all aspects of multimedia 

environmental modeling. This includes 

development and enhancements of 

software, databases, and 

interoperability, and applications and 

assessment of site specific, generic, and 

process-oriented multimedia 

environmental models as they pertain to 

human and environmental health risk 

assessment. Multimedia environmental 

model development and simulation 

supports interagency interests in risk 

assessment, uncertainty analyses, 

management of geologic, hydrologic, 

atmospheric, terrestrial, and ecological 

resources, and decision making. The 

theme of this year’s annual public 

meeting is ‘‘How environmental 

modeling plays a role in decision 

making’’. The topics to be discussed 

focus on: (1) Citizen science, crowd 

sourcing, and social media; (2) 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
4680 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 19 / Wednesday, January 29, 2014 / Notices 

environment and energy; (3) energy/

water nexus; (4) climate change; and (5) 

water resources management. 

Purpose of the Public Meeting: The 

annual public meeting provides an 

opportunity for the scientific 

community, ISCMEM members and 

other Federal and State agencies, and 

the public to discuss ISCMEM activities 

and their initiatives for the upcoming 

year, and to discuss technological 

advancements in multimedia 

environmental modeling. 

Proposed Agenda: The ISCMEM Chair 

will open the meeting with a brief 

overview of the goals of the MOU and 

an update on current activities and 

future plans of ISCMEM. This 

introduction will be followed by a series 

of invited technical presentations for the 

remainder of the first day, focusing on 

topics of mutual interest to ISCMEM 

participants. The steering committee 

will hold an open business session on 

the morning of the second day. A 

detailed agenda with presentation titles 

and speakers will be posted on the 

ISCMEM public Web site: http://

iemhub.org/topics/iscmem. The agenda 

and instructions for registration will 

also be available through the list of 

public meetings on the US Nuclear 

Regulatory Commission Web site at 

http://www.nrc.gov/public-involve/

public-meetings.html. 

Meeting Access: The meeting location 

at the U.S. DOE Forrestal Building, 

Main Auditorium (Room GE–086) is 

located at 1000 Independence Avenue 

SW., Washington, DC 20585 adjacent to 

the Smithsonian Metrorail Station. The
