SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Information About the GIS Tool and 

Document 

The GIS tool and its documentation, 

‘‘ICLUS v1.3 User’s Manual: ArcGIS 

Tools and Datasets for Modeling U.S. 

Housing Density Growth’’ enables users 

to run a spatially explicit allocation 

model with the population projections 

developed for the ICLUS project. Users 

can modify the spatial allocation of 

housing density across the landscape to 

customize scenarios of future 

development patterns. The data 

provided consist of five population 

scenarios by county for the 

conterminous U.S. and are available in 

5-year increments from 2000 to 2100. 

The population projections for each U.S. 

county drive the production of new 

housing units, which are allocated in 

response to the spatial pattern of 

previous growth (e.g., 1990 to 2000), 

transportation infrastructure, and other 

basic assumptions. The housing 

allocation model recomputes housing 

density in 5-year time steps from the 

year 2000 to 2100. 

The GIS tool allows users to: 

• Access the county-level ICLUS 

population projections; 

• Customize housing density patterns 

by altering household size and travel 

time assumptions; 

• Classify housing density into 

generalized categories; 

• Estimate future impervious surface 

based on a housing density; and 

• Summarize levels of 

imperviousness by housing density 

classes. 

In December 2009, the draft GIS tools 

and user’s guide were released for 

independent external review and a 

Federal Register notice, published 

December 8, 2009, announced the start 

of a public review and comment period. 

These final GIS tools and user’s guide 

address comments received from both 

the external peer review and the public.

Notification of a Public Teleconference 

of the Science Advisory Board; 

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon 

(PAH) Mixtures Review Panel 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The EPA Science Advisory 

Board (SAB) Staff Office announces a 

public teleconference of the SAB 

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon 

(PAH) Mixtures Review Panel to discuss 

its draft report on EPA’s Development of 

a Relative Potency Factor (RPF) 

Approach for Polycyclic Aromatic 

Hydrocarbon (PAH) Mixtures. 

DATES: The SAB PAH Mixtures Review 

Panel will conduct a public 

teleconference on September 30, 2010. 

The teleconference will begin at 1 p.m. 

and end at 5 p.m. (Eastern Time). 

ADDRESSES: The teleconference will be 

conducted by telephone only. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Any 

member of the public wishing to obtain 

general information concerning the 

public teleconference may contact Mr. 

Aaron Yeow, Designated Federal Officer 

(DFO), via telephone at (202) 564–2050 

or e-mail at yeow.aaron@epa.gov. 

General information concerning the EPA 

Science Advisory Board can be found 

on the EPA Web site at http:// 

www.epa.gov/sab. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant 

to the Federal Advisory Committee Act, 

5 U.S.C., App. 2 (FACA), notice is 

hereby given that the SAB PAH 

Mixtures Review Panel will hold a 

public teleconference to discuss its draft 

report on EPA’s Development of a 

Relative Potency Factor (RPF) Approach 

for Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon 

(PAH) Mixtures. The SAB was 

established pursuant to 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 

FACA. The SAB will comply with the 

provisions of FACA and all appropriate 

SAB Staff Office procedural policies. 

Background: EPA’s Integrated Risk 

Information System (IRIS) is an 

electronic database containing 

descriptive and quantitative 

toxicological information on human 

health effects that may result from 

chronic exposure to various substances 

in the environment. This information 

supports human health risk assessments 

and includes hazard identification and 

dose-response data and derivations of 

oral reference doses (RfDs) and 

inhalation reference concentrations 

(RfCs) for noncancer effects and oral 

slope factors and oral and inhalation 

unit risks for cancer effects. IRIS is 

prepared and maintained by EPA’s 

National Center for Environmental 

Assessment (NCEA) within the Office of 

Research and Development (ORD). 

NCEA’s IRIS Program has developed a 

draft technical document entitled, 

Development of a Relative Potency 

Factor (RPF) Approach for Polycyclic 

Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH) Mixtures, 

for estimating cancer risk from exposure 

to PAH mixtures. ORD has requested 

that the Science Advisory Board (SAB) 

conduct a review of this draft document. 

The SAB PAH Mixtures Review Panel 

held a public teleconference on June 8, 

2010 and a public meeting on June 21– 

23, 2010 to review EPA’s Development 

of a Relative Potency Factor (RPF) 

Approach for Polycyclic Aromatic 

Hydrocarbon (PAH) Mixtures [see 

Federal Register notice dated May 18, 

2010 (75 FR 27777–27778)]. Materials 

from the June 8, 2010 teleconference 

and June 21–23, 2010 meeting are 

posted on the SAB Web site at http://

yosemite.epa.gov/sab/sabproduct.nsf/

fedrgstr_activites/Human%20Health

%20PAH%20Mixtures?OpenDocument. 

The purpose of the upcoming 

teleconference is for the PAH Mixtures 

Review Panel to discuss its draft report. 

The Panel’s draft report will be 

submitted to the chartered SAB for their 

consideration and approval. A meeting 

agenda and the draft SAB review report 

will be posted at the above noted SAB 

Web site prior to the meeting.

Procedures for Providing Public Input: 

Public comment for consideration by 

EPA’s Federal advisory committees and 

panels has a different purpose from 

public comment provided to EPA 

program offices. Therefore, the process 

for submitting comments to a Federal 

advisory committee is different from the 

process used to submit comments to an 

EPA program office. 

Federal advisory committees and 

panels, including scientific advisory 

committees, provide independent 

advice to EPA. Members of the public 

can submit comments for a Federal 

advisory committee to consider as it 

develops advice for EPA. They should 

send their comments directly to the 

Designated Federal Officer for the 

relevant advisory committee. Oral 

Statements: In general, individuals or 

groups requesting an oral presentation 

at a public teleconference will be 

limited to three minutes per speaker, 

with no more than a total of 30 minutes 

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 Mr. Aaron Yeow, DFO, in 

writing (preferably via e-mail) at the 

contact information noted above by 

September 23, 2010 to be placed on the 

list of public speakers. Written 

Statements: Written statements should 

be supplied to the DFO via email at the 

contact information noted above by 

September 23, 2010 so that the 

information may be made available to 

the Panel members for their 

consideration. Written statements 

should be supplied in one of the 

following electronic formats: Adobe 

Acrobat PDF, MS Word, MS 

PowerPoint, or Rich Text files in IBM– 

PC/Windows 98/2000/XP format. 

Submitters are requested to provide 

versions of signed documents, 

submitted with and without signatures, 

because the SAB Staff Office does not 

publish documents with signatures on 

its Web sites. 

Accessibility: For information on 

access or services for individuals with 

disabilities, please contact Mr. Aaron 

Yeow at (202) 564–2050 or 

yeow.aaron@epa.gov. To request 

accommodation of a disability, please 

contact Mr. Yeow preferably at least ten 

days prior to the teleconference to give 

EPA as much time as possible to process 

your request.
