SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant 

to the Federal Advisory Committee Act, 

Public Law 92–463, notice is hereby 

given that the Augmented SAB HSAC 

will hold a public face-to-face meeting 

to discuss their comments on the draft 

BA–TAD. The SAB was established by 

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 

SAB is a Federal Advisory Committee 

chartered under the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act (FACA), as amended, 5 

U.S.C., App. The SAB will comply with 

the provisions of FACA and all 

appropriate SAB Staff Office procedural 

policies. The SAB HSAC provides 

scientific and technical advice to the 

EPA Administrator through the 

chartered SAB on scientific matters 

pertaining to EPA’s mission in 

protecting against the environmental 

and health consequences of terrorism. 

Background: In response to the 2001 

Bacillus anthracis incidents in 

Washington, the Weapons of Mass 

Destruction (WMD) Subcommittee of 

the Science and Technology (S&T) 

Committee of the EPA-chaired National 

Response Team (NRT) developed an 

interim-final draft Technical Assistance 

Document (TAD) in 2003 for responses 

to an actual or suspected terrorist 

release of Bacillus anthracis. In July 

2005, the NRT slightly revised the 

interim-final draft TAD. EPA, as chair, 

works closely with seventeen other 

Federal agencies on the NRT. The NRT 

is developing the BA–TAD by revising 

and updating the 2005 interim-final 

draft TAD, and requested that OSWER 

seek consultative advice from the SAB 

HSAC on their development of the BA– 

TAD. The Augmented HSAC will 

conduct the consultation. The primary 

purpose of this upcoming meeting is for 

the Augmented HSAC to provide advice 

on whether the technical plans to 

prepare the BA–TAD are properly 

directed, and if there are any items, 

issues or practical applications that 

have not been considered that ought to 

be included. 

The SAB HSAC held a teleconference 

on October 15, 2008 and was briefed by 

the EPA and its partners on its progress 

in developing the draft BA–TAD. A 

Federal Register Notice dated 

September 29, 2008 (73 FR 56578– 

56579) announced this teleconference 

and provided background information 

on this advisory activity. Information on 

the process of augmenting the expertise 

on the SAB HSAC was provided in a 

Federal Register Notice dated March 28, 

2008 (73 FR 16679–16680). Additional 

information about this consultative 

activity including a meeting agenda will 

be posted on the SAB Web site prior to 

the meeting at http://www.epa.gov/sab. 

Availability of Meeting Materials: The 

agenda and other meeting materials will 

be available on the SAB Web site at 

http://www.epa.gov/sab in advance of 

the meeting. 

Procedures for Providing Public Input: 

Interested members of the public may 

submit relevant written or oral 

information for the SAB HSAC to 

consider during the advisory process. 

Oral Statements: In general, individuals 

or groups requesting an oral 

presentation at a public face-to-face 

meeting will be limited to three minutes 

per speaker, with no more than a total 

of one hour for all speakers. Each person 

making an oral statement should 

consider providing written comments as 

well as their oral statement so that the 

points presented orally can be expanded 

upon in writing. Interested parties 

should contact Edward Hanlon, DFO, in 

writing (preferably via e-mail) at the 

contact information noted above, by 

April 7, 2009 to be placed on the list of 

public speakers for the meeting. Written 

Statements: Written statements should

PC/Windows 98/2000/XP format). 

Submitters are requested to provide 

versions of each document submitted 

with and without signatures, because 

the SAB Staff Office does not publish 

documents with signatures on its Web 

sites.

Hanlon at the phone number or e-mail
