EPA's federal advisory committees 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 provide independent advice to EPA. Members of the 
public may submit comments on matters being considered by the EFAB for 
consideration as the Board develops its advice and recommendations to 
EPA.
    Oral Statements: In general, individuals or groups requesting an 
oral presentation at a public meeting will be limited to three minutes 
each. Persons interested in providing oral statements at the March 2022 
meeting virtually via webcast should register in advance and provide 
notification, as noted in the registration confirmation, by March 22, 
2022, to be placed on the list of registered speakers.
    Written Statements: Written statements should be received by March 
22, 2022, so that the information can be made available to the EFAB for 
its consideration prior to the meeting. Written statements should be 
sent via email to [email protected]. Members of the public should be aware 
that their personal contact information, if included in any written 
comments, may be posted to the EFAB website. Copyrighted material will 
not be posted without explicit permission of the copyright holder.
    Accessibility: For information on access or services for 
individuals with disabilities or to request accommodations for a 
disability, please register for the meeting and list any special 
requirements or accommodations needed on the registration form at least 
10 business days prior to the meeting to allow as much time as possible 
to process your request.
