application of the Gasoline Distribution 

NESHAP to engine testing facilities; and 

(3) application of the Gasoline 

Distribution NESHAP to tanks solely 

used to fuel emergency generators and 

fire pumps. Under the terms of the 

proposed settlement agreement, EPA 

will sign and submit for publication in 

the Federal Register a notice of 

proposed rulemaking to amend the 

Gasoline Distribution NESHAP that 

contains amendments that are 

substantially the same in substance as 

set forth in Attachment A to this 

Agreement as expeditiously as 

practicable after entry of this 

Agreement. If EPA signs and submits for 

publication in the Federal Register a 

notice of final rulemaking to amend the 

Gasoline Distribution NESHAP that 

contains amendments that are 

substantially the same in substance as 

set forth in Attachment A to this 

Agreement, the Alliance and EPA will 

file a joint motion for dismissal with 

prejudice in accordance with Rule 42(b) 

of the Federal Rules of Appellate 

Procedure. 

For a period of thirty (30) days 

following the date of publication of this 

notice, the Agency will accept written 

comments relating to the proposed 

settlement agreement from persons who 

were not named as parties or 

intervenors to the litigation in question. 

EPA or the Department of Justice may 

withdraw or withhold consent to the 

proposed settlement agreement if the 

comments disclose facts or 

considerations that indicate that such 

consent is inappropriate, improper, 

inadequate, or inconsistent with the 

requirements of the Act. Unless EPA or 

the Department of Justice determines, 

based on any comment submitted, that 

consent to this settlement agreement 

should be withdrawn, the terms of the 

agreement will be affirmed. 

II. Additional Information About 

Commenting on the Proposed 

Settlement Agreement 

A. How Can I Get A Copy of the 

Settlement Agreement? 

The official public docket for this 

action (identified by Docket ID No. 

EPA–HQ–OGC–2009–0471) contains a 

copy of the proposed settlement 

agreement. The official public docket is 

available for public viewing at the 

Office of Environmental Information 

(OEI) Docket in the EPA Docket Center, 

EPA West, Room 3334, 1301 

Constitution Ave., NW., Washington, 

DC. The EPA Docket Center Public 

Reading Room is open from 8:30 a.m. to 

4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, 

excluding legal holidays. The telephone 

number for the Public Reading Room is 

(202) 566–1744, and the telephone 

number for the OEI Docket is (202) 566– 

1752. 

An electronic version of the public 

docket is available through http:// 

www.regulations.gov. You may use the 

http://www.regulations.gov to submit or 

view public comments, access the index 

listing of the contents of the official 

public docket, and to access those 

documents in the public docket that are 

available electronically. Once in the 

system, select ‘‘search,’’ then key in the 

appropriate docket identification 

number. 

It is important to note that EPA’s 

policy is that public comments, whether 

submitted electronically or in paper, 

will be made available for public 

viewing online at http:// 

www.regulations.gov without change, 

unless the comment contains 

copyrighted material, CBI, or other 

information whose disclosure is 

restricted by statute. Information 

claimed as CBI and other information 

whose disclosure is restricted by statute 

is not included in the official public 

docket or in the electronic public 

docket. EPA’s policy is that copyrighted 

material, including copyrighted material 

contained in a public comment, will not 

be placed in EPA’s electronic public 

docket but will be available only in 

printed, paper form in the official public 

docket. Although not all docket 

materials may be available 

electronically, you may still access any 

of the publicly available docket 

materials through the EPA Docket 

Center. 

B. How and To Whom Do I Submit 

Comments? 

You may submit comments as 

provided in the ADDRESSES section. 

Please ensure that your comments are 

submitted within the specified comment 

period. Comments received after the 

close of the comment period will be 

marked ‘‘late.’’ EPA is not required to 

consider these late comments. 

If you submit an electronic comment, 

EPA recommends that you include your 

name, mailing address, and an e-mail 

address or other contact information in 

the body of your comment and with any 

disk or CD–ROM you submit. This 

ensures that you can be identified as the 

submitter of the comment and allows 

EPA to contact you in case EPA cannot 

read your comment due to technical 

difficulties or needs further information 

on the substance of your comment. Any 

identifying or contact information 

provided in the body of a comment will 

be included as part of the comment that 

is placed in the official public docket, 

and made available in EPA’s electronic 

public docket. If EPA cannot read your 

comment due to technical difficulties 

and cannot contact you for clarification, 

EPA may not be able to consider your 

comment. 

Use of the http://www.regulations.gov 

Web site to submit comments to EPA 

electronically is EPA’s preferred method 

for receiving comments. The electronic 

public docket system is an ‘‘anonymous 

access’’ system, which means EPA will 

not know your identity, e-mail address, 

or other contact information unless you 

provide it in the body of your comment. 

In contrast to EPA’s electronic public 

docket, EPA’s electronic mail (e-mail) 

system is not an ‘‘anonymous access’’ 

system. If you send an e-mail comment 

directly to the Docket without going 

through http://www.regulations.gov, 

your e-mail address is automatically 

captured and included as part of the 

comment that is placed in the official 

public docket, and made available in 

EPA’s electronic public docket.

information concerning the CASAC can 

be found on the EPA Web site at 

http://www.epa.gov/casac. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: The Clean Air Scientific 

Advisory Committee (CASAC) was 

established under section 109(d)(2) of 

the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act) (42 

U.S.C. 7409) as an independent 

scientific advisory committee. The 

CASAC provides advice, information 

and recommendations on the scientific 

and technical aspects of air quality 

criteria and National Ambient Air 

Quality Standards (NAAQS) under 

sections 108 and 109 of the Act. The 

CASAC is a Federal advisory committee 

chartered under the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act (FACA), as amended, 5 

U.S.C., App. 2. 

EPA is in the process of reviewing 

and revising the NAAQS for Carbon 

Monoxide. Accordingly, a CASAC CO 

Review Panel was established in 2008 

and conducted a consultation on EPA’s 

Plan for Review of the National Ambient 

Air Quality Standards for Carbon 

Monoxide (August 2008) and a review 

of the Integrated Science Assessment for 

Carbon Monoxide—First External 

Review Draft (March, 2009). The 

CASAC reports are available on the 

CASAC Web site at http://www.epa.gov/ 

ttn/naaqs/standards/co/s_

co_index.html. 

The SAB staff office is seeking 

nominations of experts to augment the 

CASAC CO Panel membership (see 

membership URL at http://

yosemite.epa.gov/sab/sabpeople.nsf/ 

WebCommitteesSubcommittees/

Carbon%20Monoxide

%20Review%20Panel) in the area of risk 

assessment and epidemiology. 

Process and Deadline for Submitting 

Nominations: Any interested person or 

organization may nominate qualified 

individuals for consideration for 

membership on the CO Review Panel in 

the areas of expertise described above. 

Nominations should be submitted in 

electronic format through the SAB Web 

site at http://www.epa.gov/sab directly 

via the nomination form, following the 

directions for Nominating Experts to 

Advisory Panels and Ad Hoc 

committees carefully. To be considered, 

nominations should include all of the 

information required on the associated 

forms. Anyone unable to submit 

nominations using the electronic form 

and who has any questions concerning 

the nomination process may contact Dr. 

Ellen Rubin, DFO, as indicated above in 

this notice. Nominations should be 

submitted in time to arrive no later than 

July 31, 2009. 

To be considered, all nominations 

should include: A current curriculum 

vitae (C.V.) that provides the nominee’s 

background, qualifications, research 

expertise and relevant publications for 

service on the Panel; and a brief 

biographical sketch (‘‘biosketch’’). 

The biosketch should be no longer 

than two paragraphs and should contain 

the following information for the 

nominee: (a) Current professional 

affiliations and positions held; (b) 

educational background, especially 

advanced degrees, including when and 

from which institutions these were 

granted; (c) area(s) of expertise, and 

research activities and interests relevant 

to the Panel; and (d) leadership 

positions in national associations or 

professional publications or other 

significant distinctions and service on 

other advisory committees or 

professional societies, especially those 

associated with issues under discussion 

in this review. 

The Web form will also request 

information about sources of recent (i.e., 

within the preceding two years) grant 

and/or other contract support, from 

government, industry, academia, etc., 

including the topic area of the funded 

activity. Please note that even negative 

responsive information (e.g., no recent 

grant or contract funding) should be 

indicated on the biosketch (by ‘‘N/A’’ or 

‘‘None’’). Incomplete biosketches will 

not be considered. The EPA SAB Staff 

Office will acknowledge receipt of 

nominations. 

The scientific expertise and 

credentials of nominees received in 

reply to this notice will be reviewed for 

demonstrative experience in the 

disciplines sought for the CO Review 

Panel. Qualified nominees will be 

included in a smaller subset (known as 

the ‘‘Short List’’). The Short List will be 

posted on the SAB Web site at http:// 

www.epa.gov/sab and will include, for 

each candidate, the nominee’s name and 

their biosketch. Public comments on the 

Short List will be accepted for a 

minimum of 21 calendar days. During 

this comment period, 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 subcommittee or 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. The SAB 

Staff Office will consider public 

comments, information provided by 

candidates, and background information 

independently-gathered by the SAB 

Staff Office on each candidate (e.g., 

financial disclosure information, and 

computer searches to evaluate a 

nominee’s prior involvement with the 

topic under review). Specific criteria to 

be used in evaluating Short List 

candidates 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 lack of 

impartiality; (e) skills working on 

committees, subcommittees and 

advisory panels; and, for the Panel as a 

whole, (f) diversity of, and balance 

among, scientific expertise, viewpoints, 

etc. 

Prospective candidates will also be 

required to fill-out the ‘‘Confidential 

Financial Disclosure Form for Special 

Government Employees Serving on 

Federal Advisory Committees at the 

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’’ 

(EPA Form 3110–48). This confidential 

form allows Government officials to 

determine whether there is a statutory 

conflict between that person’s public 

responsibilities (which includes 

membership on an EPA Federal 

advisory committee) and private 

interests and activities, or the 

appearance of a lack of impartiality, as 

defined by Federal regulation. The form 

may be viewed and downloaded from 

the following URL address: http:// 

www.epa.gov/sab/pdf/epaform3110– 

48.pdf. 

The approved policy under which the 

EPA SAB Office selects 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 the SAB 

Web site at http://www.epa.gov/sab/pdf/
