(4) neurodevelopmental assessment 

indices for young children including the

Versar, Inc., considered the 

nominated peer review candidates and 

also conducted an independent search 

for scientific experts to augment the list 

of publically-nominated candidates. 

Selection Process: Versar, Inc., 

considered and screened all candidates 

against the selection criteria described 

in the March 1, 2016, and June 3, 2016, 

Federal Register notices (81 FR 10617 

and 81 FR 35760, respectively), which 

included the candidates being free of 

any conflict of interest and being 

available to participate in-person in a 

two-day, public, peer review meeting in 

the Washington, DC, area. Versar, Inc., 

narrowed the list of potential reviewers 

for the second panel to 12 candidates. 

EPA is now soliciting comments on the 

interim list of 12 candidates. 

EPA requests that the public provide 

relevant information or documentation 

on the experts that the contractor should 

consider in evaluating these candidates. 

Once the public comments on the 

interim list of candidates have been 

reviewed and considered, the contractor 

will select the final list of peer 

reviewers. 

Responsibilities of Peer Reviewers: 

Peer reviewers will be charged with 

evaluating and preparing written 

comments on EPA’s draft MCLG 

Approaches Report. Versar, Inc., will 

provide reviewers with a summary and 

compilation of public comments on the 

draft MCLG Approaches Report 

submitted to EPA’s docket (ID number 

EPA–HQ–OW–2016–0438) during the 

45-day public comment period, for their 

consideration. Reviewers will 

participate in a two-day meeting 

expected to be held in the Washington, 

DC, metro area, projected to occur in 

late fall of 2017 (exact date to be 

determined), to discuss the scientific 

basis supporting these materials. 

Following the meeting, Versar, Inc., will 

provide a report to EPA, summarizing 

the peer reviewers’ evaluation of the 

scientific and technical merit of the 

draft MCLG Approaches Report and the 

peer reviewers’ full responses to the 

charge questions. EPA will make the 

final peer review report available to the 

public (exact date to be determined). In 

preparing the final MCLG Approaches 

Report, EPA will consider the peer 

review report as well as the written 

public comments submitted to the 

docket. 

II. Interim List of Peer Reviewers 

Versar, Inc., is considering the 

following candidates for the peer review 

panel. Biosketches are available through 

the EPA docket at http://

www.regulations.gov (Docket ID No. 

EPA–HQ–OW–2016–0439). After review 

and consideration of public comments 

and consultation with EPA’s Scientific 

Integrity Official, Versar, Inc., will select 

from this list, the final list of peer 

reviewers, who will, collectively, best 

provide expertise spanning the 

previously mentioned areas of 

knowledge and experience and, to the 

extent feasible, best provide a balance of 

perspectives. EPA will announce the

and registration details, along with the 

final list of peer reviewers selected by 

Versar, Inc., at least 30 days prior to the

Pay Data Collection 

AGENCY: Equal Employment

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Equal Employment 

Opportunity Commission (EEOC) 

announces that, until further notice, 

filers subject to the EEO–1 reporting 

requirement should not submit 

aggregate data about W–2 (Box 1) 

income and hours worked, which is the 

information required by ‘‘Component 2’’ 

of the EEO–1 report as approved on 

September 29, 2016. However, filers 

should continue to submit data on the 

ethnicity, race, and sex of workers by 

job category (‘‘Component 1’’ of the 

EEO–1 report). This is the same type of 

EEO–1 data that filers have submitted in 

the past. 

DATES: All EEO–1 filers should submit 

and certify their 2017 EEO–1 reports 

(Component 1 data only) by March 31, 

2018. They should count employees for 

purposes of this EEO–1 report during a 

‘‘workforce snapshot period’’ between 

October 1 and December 31, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 

29, 2017, the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) issued a memorandum 1

informing the EEOC that OMB was 

initiating a review and immediate stay 

of the effectiveness of a portion of the 

EEO–1 report that was initially 

approved on September 29, 2016.2

Specifically, OMB initiated a review 

and immediate stay of the portion of the 

EEO–1 report that required the reporting 

of aggregate W–2 (Box 1) income and 

hours-worked data by employers 

(including federal contractors) with 100 

or more employees. (This is called EEO– 

mstockstill on DSK30JT082PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 178 / Friday, September 15, 2017 / Notices 43363 

1 ‘‘Component 2’’.) OMB did not stay 

the portion of the EEO–1 report that 

requires filers to submit data on the 

race, ethnicity, and sex of their workers, 

by job category. (EEO–1 ‘‘Component 

1’’) The EEOC will continue to collect 

EEO–1 Component 1 data from all filers 

during OMB’s review and stay. 

Thus, pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.10(g), 

the EEOC hereby announces that, until 

further notice, filers subject to the EEO– 

1 reporting requirement should not 

submit aggregate W–2 income and hours 

worked data under Component 2 of the 

EEO–1, but that they should submit data 

about race, ethnicity, and sex, by job 

category, as required by Component 1 of 

the EEO–1. Filers should follow the 

EEO–1’s new reporting schedule. The 

2017 EEO–1 report should be submitted 

and certified by March 31, 2018. Filers 

should use a ‘‘workforce snapshot 

period’’ between October 1 and 

December 31, 2017. 

Dated: August 31, 2017.
