# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Pursuant to the Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C., App. 2 (FACA), notice is hereby given that the EPA SAB Risk and Technology Review Assessment Methodologies Panel will hold a public teleconference and a face-to-face meeting to prepare for and review the Agency's draft document on methodologies for the assessment of residual risk featuring case studies from the Petroleum Refineries and Portland Cement Manufacturing source categories. 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 Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards (OAQPS) has requested that the SAB conduct a review of their methodologies for conducting Risk and Technology Review Assessments in conjunction with assessments of residual risk required by the Clean Air Act. These assessments evaluate the effects of industrial emissions of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) on public health and the environment. The proposed methodologies are demonstrated through the use of two case studies, (1) petroleum refineries and (2) Portland cement manufacturers. Background on this SAB review and the process for formation of this review panel was provided in a                     **Federal Register**                     Notice published on January 31, 2008 (73 FR 5836-5838). The purpose of this upcoming teleconference is for the SAB Review Panel to discuss EPA's charge questions and plan for the face-to-face meeting. The Panel will then discuss and deliberate on the charge questions at the face-to-face meeting.                

*Availability of Meeting Materials:*                     The meeting agendas and other materials, including a link to access the EPA's document(s) related to the peer review, will be posted on the SAB Web site (                    *http://www.epa.gov/​sab*) in advance of the meeting. For questions and information concerning the Agency's documents, please contact Dave Guinnup at 919-541-5368 or                     *guinnup.dave@epa.gov*.
