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
