Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 71 / Wednesday, April 13, 2022 / Notices 21885 

Environmental Quality (TCEQ) to 

ExxonMobil Corp. for its Baytown 

Chemical Plant located in Harris 

County, Texas. 

ADDRESSES: The EPA requests that you 

contact the individual listed in the FOR

FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section to 

view copies of the final Order, the 

Petition, and other supporting 

information. Out of an abundance of 

caution for members of the public and 

our staff, the EPA Region 6 office is 

currently closed to the public to reduce 

the risk of transmitting COVID–19. 

Please call or email the contact listed 

below if you need alternative access to 

the final Order and Petition, which are 

available electronically at: https://

www.epa.gov/title-v-operating-permits/ 

title-v-petition-database. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Aimee Wilson, EPA Region 6 Office, Air 

Permits Section, (214) 665–7596, 

wilson.aimee@epa.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The CAA 

affords EPA a 45-day period to review 

and object to, as appropriate, operating 

permits proposed by state permitting 

authorities under title V of the CAA. 

Section 505(b)(2) of the CAA authorizes 

any person to petition the EPA 

Administrator to object to a title V 

operating permit within 60 days after 

the expiration of the EPA’s 45-day 

review period if the EPA has not 

objected on its own initiative. Petitions 

must be based only on objections to the 

permit that were raised with reasonable 

specificity during the public comment 

period provided by the state, unless the 

petitioner demonstrates that it was 

impracticable to raise these issues 

during the comment period or unless 

the grounds for the issue arose after this 

period. 

The EPA received the Petition from 

the Environmental Integrity Project, 

Sierra Club, and Texas Campaign for the 

Environment dated September 30, 2020, 

requesting that the EPA object to the 

issuance of operating permit no. O2269, 

issued by TCEQ to the Baytown 

Chemical Plant in Harris County, Texas. 

The Petition claims the TCEQ Executive 

Director failed to adjust ExxonMobil’s 

Plantwide Applicability Limits (PAL) 

for NOx and VOC downward to account 

for Harris County’s recent designation as 

a serious Ozone nonattainment area and 

the revised proposed permit improperly 

incorporates a Major NSR permit by 

reference, fails to assure compliance 

with the PAL, fails to establish a 

compliance schedule for ExxonMobil to 

comply with its commitment to obtain 

a SIP-approved Chapter 116, Subchapter 

B permit for units and emissions 

authorized by state-only flexible permit 

No. 20211/PAL16, improperly 

incorporates confidential permit terms, 

and fails to specify monitoring, testing, 

and recordkeeping requirements 

sufficient to assure compliance with 

applicable requirements for projects 

authorized by permits by rule (PBR). 

On March 18, 2022, the EPA 

Administrator issued an Order granting 

in part and denying in part the Petition. 

The Order explains the basis for EPA’s 

decision. 

Dated: April 4, 2022.

Director, Air and Radiation Division, Region

[FRL–9718–01–OA] 

Request for Nominations for the 

Science Advisory Board IRIS 

Hexavalent Chromium (Cr(VI)) 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 

Hexavalent Chromium (Cr(VI)). EPA’s 

draft assessment includes a hazard 

identification analysis, which 

summarizes the chemical properties, 

toxicokinetics, and health effects 

associated exposure, and dose-response 

analysis, which characterizes the 

quantitative relationship between 

chemical exposure and each credible 

health hazard. These quantitative 

relationships are then used to derive 

cancer and non-cancer toxicity values 

(e.g., inhalation unit risk, oral slope 

factor, reference concentration, 

reference dose). The SAB Hexavalent 

Chromium 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 May 4, 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

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 Hexavalent 

Chromium Review Panel, under the 

auspices of the Chartered SAB. The SAB 

Hexavalent Chromium Review Panel 

will provide advice through the 

chartered SAB. The SAB and the SAB 

Hexavalent Chromium Review Panel 

will comply with the provisions of 

FACA and all appropriate SAB Staff 

Office procedural policies. 

The SAB Hexavalent Chromium 

Review Panel will conduct a review of 

the draft EPA IRIS Toxicological Review 

of Hexavalent Chromium. EPA’s draft 

assessment includes a hazard 

identification analysis, which 

summarizes the chemical properties, 

toxicokinetics, and health effects 

associated exposure, and dose-response 

analysis, which characterizes the 

quantitative relationship between 

chemical exposure and each credible 

health hazard. These quantitative 

relationships are then used to derive 

cancer and non-cancer toxicity values 

(e.g., inhalation unit risk, oral slope 

factor, reference concentration, 

reference dose). The SAB Hexavalent 

Chromium 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

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:
