Request for Nominations for the 

Science Advisory Board IRIS 

Chloroform (Noncancer; 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 (Noncancer; Inhalation). 

The draft assessment includes a hazard 

identification analysis, which 

summarizes the chemical properties, 

pharmacokinetics, and health effects 

associated with environmental or 

occupational exposure, and doseresponse 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. 

DATES: Nominations should be 

submitted by September 28, 2021 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

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; Noncancer). 

The draft assessment includes a hazard 

identification analysis, which 

summarizes the chemical properties, 

pharmacokinetics, and health effects 

associated with environmental or 

occupational exposure, and doseresponse 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 

September 28, 2021. 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
