Advisory Board (SAB)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) invites 
nominations of scientific experts from a diverse range of disciplines 
to be considered for appointment to the Science Advisory Board (SAB) 
and six SAB committees described in this notice. Appointments are 
anticipated to be filled by the start of Fiscal Year 2016 (October 
2015).

DATES: Nominations should be submitted in time to arrive no later than 
May 27, 2015.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Nominators unable to submit 
nominations electronically as described below may submit a paper copy 
to the Designated Federal Officers for the committees, as identified 
below. General inquiries regarding the work of the SAB or SAB 
committees may also be directed to the designated DFOs.
    Background: The SAB is a chartered Federal Advisory Committee, 
established in 1978 under the authority of the Environmental Research, 
Development and Demonstration Authorization Act (ERDDAA), codified at 
42 U.S.C. 4365, to provide independent scientific and technical peer 
review, consultation, advice and recommendations to the EPA 
Administrator on the scientific bases for EPA's actions and programs. 
Members of the SAB constitute a distinguished body of non-EPA 
scientists, engineers, economists, and behavioral and social scientists 
who are nationally and internationally recognized experts in their 
respective fields. Members are appointed by the EPA Administrator for a 
3-year term. Additional information about the SAB is available at 
http://www.epa.gov/sab.
    Expertise Sought for the SAB: The chartered SAB provides strategic 
advice to the EPA Administrator on a variety of EPA science and 
research programs. All the work of SAB committees and panels is under 
the direction of the chartered SAB. The chartered SAB reviews all SAB 
committee and panel draft reports and determines whether they are 
appropriate to send to the EPA Administrator. The SAB Staff Office is 
seeking nominations of experts to serve on the chartered SAB in the 
following disciplines as they relate to human health and the 
environment: Analytical chemistry; ecological sciences and ecological 
assessment; economics; engineering; geochemistry; health disparities; 
health sciences; hydrology; hydrogeology; medicine; microbiology; 
modeling; pediatrics; public health; risk assessment; social, 
behavioral and decision sciences; statistics; and toxicology.
    The SAB Staff Office is especially interested in scientists with
