Notification of a Teleconference of the Science Advisory Board 
Economy-Wide Modeling Panel

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or Agency) Science 
Advisory Board (SAB) Staff Office announces a public teleconference of 
the SAB Economy-Wide Modeling Panel.

DATES: The public teleconference will be held on December 7, 2016 from 
1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time).

ADDRESSES: The teleconference will be held by telephone only.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Any member of the public wishing 
further information regarding the public teleconference or public 
meeting may contact Dr. Holly Stallworth, Designated Federal Officer 
(DFO), SAB Staff Office, by telephone/voicemail at (202) 564-2073 or 
via email at [email protected]. General information concerning 
the EPA Science Advisory Board can be found at the EPA SAB Web site at 
http://epa.gov/sab.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Background: The SAB was established pursuant to the Environmental 
Research, Development, and Demonstration Authorization Act (ERDDAA) 
codified at 42 U.S.C. 4365, to provide independent scientific and 
technical peer review, advice, consultation, and recommendations to the 
EPA Administrator on the technical basis for EPA actions. As a Federal 
Advisory Committee, the SAB conducts business in accordance with the 
Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) (5 U.S.C. App. 2) and related 
regulations. Pursuant to FACA and EPA policy, notice is hereby given 
that the SAB Economy-Wide Modeling Panel will hold a public 
teleconference to discuss its draft responses on charge questions from 
EPA's National Center for Environmental Economics and the Office of Air 
and Radiation on economic analysis for air regulations at EPA.
    The SAB will comply with the provisions of FACA and all appropriate 
SAB Staff Office procedural policies. Background information on the SAB 
Economy-Wide Modeling Panel can be found at http://yosemite.epa.gov/sab/sabproduct.nsf/fedrgstr_activites/Economywide%20modeling?OpenDocument.

[[Page 63179]]

    Availability of the meeting materials: Agendas will be posted on 
the SAB Web site prior to the December 7, 2016 teleconference. To 
locate meeting materials, go to http://epa.gov/sab and click on the 
meeting date. The Economy-Wide Modeling Panel's draft report will be 
posted at this URL. EPA's review document(s), charge to the Panel and 
other background materials are also available at the URL above. For 
questions concerning EPA's review materials on economy-wide modeling, 
please contact Dr. Ann Wolverton, EPA National Center for Environmental 
Economics at [email protected] or 202-566-2278.
    Procedures for Providing Public Input: Public comment for 
consideration by EPA's federal advisory committees and panels 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 and panels, including 
scientific advisory committees, provide independent advice to the EPA. 
Members of the public can submit relevant comments on the topic of this 
advisory activity, including the charge to the panel and the EPA review 
documents, and/or the group conducting the activity, for the SAB to 
consider during the advisory process. Input from the public to the SAB 
will have the most impact if it consists of comments that provide 
specific scientific or technical information or analysis for the SAB 
panel to consider or if it relates to the clarity or accuracy of the 
technical information.
    Oral Statements: In general, individuals or groups requesting an 
oral presentation will be limited to three minutes per speaker for the 
teleconference. Interested parties should contact Dr. Holly Stallworth, 
DFO, in writing (preferably via email), at the contact information 
noted above, by November 30, 2016 to be placed on the list of public 
speakers for the teleconference. Written Statements: Written statements 
should be received in the SAB Staff Office by November 30, 2016 to be 
considered for the teleconference. Written statements should be 
supplied to the DFO, preferably in electronic format via email. It is 
the SAB Staff Office general policy to post written comments on the Web 
page for the advisory meeting or teleconference. Submitters are 
requested to provide an unsigned version of each document because the 
SAB Staff Office does not publish documents with signatures on its Web 
sites. Members of the public should be aware that their personal 
contact information, if included in any written comments, may be posted 
to the SAB Web site. Copyrighted material will not be posted without 
explicit permission of the copyright holder.
    Accessibility: For information on access or services for 
individuals with disabilities, please contact Dr. Stallworth at the 
phone number or email address noted above, preferably at least ten days 
prior to the meeting, to give EPA as much time as possible to process 
your request.
