C. How may I participate in this meeting?

    You may participate in this meeting by following the instructions 
in this unit. To ensure proper receipt by EPA, it is imperative that 
you identify docket ID number EPA-HQ-OPPT-2015-0805 in the subject line 
on the first page of your request.
    1. Written comments. The Agency encourages written comments be 
submitted, using the instructions in ADDRESSES and Unit I.B., on or 
before May 10, 2016, to provide CSAC the time necessary to consider and 
review the written comments. Written comments are accepted until the

any) the individual will represent, and any requirements for 
audiovisual equipment. Oral comments before CSAC are limited to 
approximately five minutes unless prior arrangements have been made. In 
addition, each speaker should bring 15 copies of his or her comments 
and presentation for distribution to CSAC at the meeting.
    3. Seating at the meeting. Seating at the meeting will be open and 
on a first-come basis.
    4. Request for nominations to serve as review subcommittee members 
for this meeting of the CSAC. As part of a broader process for 
developing a pool of candidates for each meeting, EPA staff solicits 
the stakeholder community for nominations of prospective candidates for 
service as review subcommittee members for CSAC. Any interested person 
or organization may nominate qualified individuals to be considered as 
prospective candidates for a specific review. Individuals nominated for 
this meeting should have expertise in one or more of the following 
areas: Epidemiology of neurotoxicity of volatile and semivolatile 
organic chemicals; risk assessment of neurotoxic chemicals; risk 
assessment for developmental toxicity of volatile and semivolatile 
organic chemicals; cancer assessment of mutagenic chemicals; statistics 
with experience with bench mark dose response analysis of cancer and 
noncancer endpoints; occupational exposure to volatile and semivolatile 
organic chemicals; consumer exposure to volatile and semivolatile 
organic chemicals. Nominees should be scientists who have sufficient 
professional qualifications, including training and experience, to be 
capable of providing expert comments on the scientific issues for this 
meeting. Nominees should be identified by name, occupation, position, 
address, email address, and telephone number. Nominations should be 
provided to the DFO listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT on or 
before March 31, 2016. The Agency will consider all nominations of 
prospective candidates for this meeting that are received on or before 
that date. However, final selection of subcommittee members for this 
meeting is a discretionary function of the Agency.
    The selection of scientists to serve on CSAC subcommittees is based 
on the function of the subcommittee and the expertise needed to address 
the Agency's charge to the subcommittee. No interested scientists shall 
be ineligible to serve by reason of their membership on any other 
advisory committee to a Federal department or agency or their 
employment by a Federal department or agency, except EPA. Other factors 
considered during the selection process include availability of the 
potential subcommittee member to fully participate in the 
subcommittee's reviews, absence of any conflicts of interest or 
appearance of lack of impartiality, independence with respect to the 
matters under review, and lack of bias. Although financial conflicts of 
interest, the appearance of lack of impartiality, lack of independence, 
and bias may result in disqualification, the absence of such concerns 
does not assure that a candidate will be selected to serve on a 
subcommittee. Numerous qualified candidates may be identified for each 
subcommittee. Therefore, selection decisions involve carefully weighing 
a number of factors including the candidates' areas of expertise and 
professional qualifications and achieving an overall balance of 
different scientific perspectives on the subcommittee. In order to have 
the collective breadth of experience needed to address the Agency's 
charge for this meeting, the Agency anticipates selecting approximately 
three to four review subcommittee members.
    CSAC members and subcommittee members are subject to the provisions 
of 5 CFR part 2634--Executive Branch Financial Disclosure, Qualified 
Trusts, and Certificates of Divestiture, as supplemented by EPA in 5 
CFR part 6401. In anticipation of this requirement, prospective 
candidates for service on CSAC and CSAC subcommittees will be asked to 
submit confidential financial information which shall fully disclose, 
among other financial interests, the candidate's employment, stocks and 
bonds, and where applicable, sources of research support. EPA will 
evaluate the candidates financial disclosure form to assess whether 
there are financial conflicts of interest, appearance of a lack of 
impartiality, or any prior involvement with the development of the 
documents under consideration (including previous scientific peer 
review) before the candidate is considered further for service on CSAC 
or CSAC subcommittees. Those who are selected from the pool of 
prospective candidates will be asked to attend the public meetings and 
to participate in the discussion of key issues and assumptions at these 
meetings. In addition, they will be asked to review and to help 
finalize the meeting minutes. The list of CSAC members and CSAC 
subcommittee members participating at this meeting will be posted on 
the Web site at http://www.epa.gov/sap or may be obtained from the OPPT 
Docket at http://www.regulations.gov.

II. Background

A. Purpose of CSAC

    OPPT manages programs under the Toxic Substances Control Act 
(TSCA), 15 U.S.C. 2601 et seq., and the Pollution Prevention Act (PPA), 
42 U.S.C. 13101 et seq. Under these laws, EPA evaluates new and 
existing chemical substances and their risks, and finds ways to prevent 
or reduce pollution before it is released into the environment. OPPT 
also manages a variety of environmental stewardship programs that 
encourage companies to reduce and prevent pollution.
    The CSAC was established under FACA section 9(a) to provide advice 
and recommendations on the scientific basis for risk assessments, 
methodologies, and pollution prevention measures or

[[Page 14113]]

approaches. The CSAC is composed of 10 members who serve as Regular 
Government Employees (RGEs) or Special Government Employees (SGEs). A 
copy of the CSAC charter is available on the EPA Web site and in the 
docket.

B. Public Meeting

    During the meeting scheduled for May 24-26, 2016, the CSAC will 
focus on the external peer review of the draft document entitled, 
``TSCA Work Plan Chemical Risk Assessment 1-bromopropane (n-Propyl 
Bromide): Spray adhesives, dry cleaning, and degreasing uses (CASRN: 
106-94-5).'' The assessment will focus on uses of 1-bromopropane in 
commercial (i.e., vapor degreasing, spray adhesives, and dry cleaning) 
and consumer applications (i.e., aerosol solvent cleaners and spray 
adhesives). Given the range of endpoints (i.e., cancer, non-cancer; the 
latter includes potential effects on the developing fetus and adults of 
both sexes), susceptible populations are expected to include adults 
(including pregnant women) in commercial uses and children (as 
bystanders) and adults of all ages (including pregnant women) for 
consumer uses. Thus, the assessment will focus on all humans/
lifestages. The CSAC will be charged with reviewing the scientific and 
technical merit of the draft 1-bromopropane risk assessment focusing 
exclusively on the scientifically relevant issues pertinent to the 
assessment.

C. CSAC Documents and Meeting Minutes

    EPA's background paper, related supporting materials, charge/
questions to CSAC, CSAC composition (i.e., members and subcommittee 
members for this meeting), and the meeting agenda will be available 
approximately 4 weeks prior to the meeting. In addition, the Agency may 
provide additional background documents as the materials become 
available. You may obtain electronic copies of these documents, and 
certain other related documents that might be available at http://www.regulations.gov and the Web site at http://www.epa.gov/sap.
    CSAC will prepare meeting minutes summarizing its recommendations 
to the Agency approximately 90 days after the meeting. The meeting 
minutes will be posted to the Web site at http://www.epa.gov/sap or may 
be obtained from the OPPT Docket at http://www.regulations.gov.
