SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The BOSC is a chartered Federal Advisory Committee that was 
established by the EPA to provide independent scientific and technical 
peer review, advice, consultation, and recommendations about ORD. As a 
Federal Advisory Committee, the BOSC conducts business in accordance 
with the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) (5 U.S.C. App. 2) and 
related regulations.
    The BOSC is comprised of an Executive Committee and five supporting 
subcommittees. The subcommittees focus on ORD's research programs: Air, 
Climate, and Energy Research Program; Chemical Safety for 
Sustainability Research Program and Human Health Risk Assessment 
Program; Homeland Security Research Program; Safe and Sustainable Water 
Resources Research Program; and Sustainable and Healthy Communities 
Research Program. Please visit https://www.epa.gov/aboutepa/about-office-research-and-development-ord to learn more about these programs.
    Members of the BOSC are recognized experts in various scientific, 
engineering, and social science fields. EPA will consider nominees from 
industry, business, public and private research institutes or 
organizations, academia, government (federal, state, local, and tribal) 
and non-government organizations, and other relevant interest areas. 
Members are appointed by the EPA Administrator for a period of three 
years and serve as special government employees. EPA values and 
welcomes diversity. In an effort to obtain nominations of diverse 
candidates, EPA encourages nominations of women and men of all racial 
and ethnic groups.

Process and Deadline for Submitting Nominations

    Any interested person or organization may nominate themselves or 
qualified individuals in the areas of expertise described above. 
Nominations should be submitted via the BOSC Web site (which is 
preferred over hard copy) at: https://www.epa.gov/bosc. Nominations 
should be submitted in time to arrive no later than July 21, 2017. To 
receive full consideration, nominations should include all of the 
information requested. EPA requests: Contact information about the 
person making the nomination; contact information about the nominee; 
the disciplinary and specific areas of expertise of the nominee; 
committee preference; the nominee's curriculum vita and/or resume; and 
additional information that would be useful for considering the 
nomination such as background and qualifications (e.g., current 
position, educational background, expertise, research areas), 
experience relevant to one or more of ORD's research programs, service 
on other advisory committees and professional societies, and 
availability to participate as a member of the Executive Committee and/
or Subcommittee. Persons having questions about the nomination 
procedures, or who are unable to submit nominations through the BOSC 
Web site, should contact Mr. Tom Tracy, as indicated above in this 
notice.

Selection Criteria

    The BOSC is a balanced and diverse expert committee. The committee 
and each of its subcommittees possess necessary domains of expertise, 
depth and breadth of knowledge, and diverse and balanced scientific 
perspectives. Nominations will be evaluated on the basis of several 
criteria including: (a) Scientific and/or technical expertise, 
knowledge, and experience; (b) availability to serve and willingness to 
commit time to the committee (approximately one to three meetings per 
year including both face-to-face meetings and teleconferences); (c) 
absence of financial conflicts of interest; (d) absence of an 
appearance of a lack of impartiality; (e) skills working on committees 
and advisory panels; and (f) background and experiences that would 
contribute to the diversity of viewpoints on the Executive Committee or 
Subcommittee, e.g., workforce sector, geographical location, social, 
cultural,

[[Page 24122]]

and educational backgrounds, and professional affiliations.
    The EPA's evaluation of an absence of financial conflicts of 
interest will include a review of the ``Confidential Financial 
Disclosure Form for Special Government Employees Serving on Federal 
Advisory Committees at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency'' (EPA 
Form 3110-48). This confidential form allows Government Officials to 
determine whether there is a statutory conflict between that person's 
public responsibilities (which includes membership on an EPA Federal 
Advisory Committee) and private interests and activities, or the 
appearance of a lack of impartiality, as defined by Federal regulation. 
The form may be viewed and downloaded from the following URL address,
