Notification of a Public Teleconference of the Chartered Science 
Advisory Board (SAB)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Science Advisory 
Board (SAB) Staff Office announces a public teleconference of the 
Chartered SAB to: Discuss information provided by the EPA on planned 
actions in the Fall 2016 semi-annual regulatory agenda and their 
supporting science; and to receive briefings on current activities from 
SAB members.

DATES: The teleconference will be held on Thursday, June 29, 2017, from 
1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time).
    Location: The public teleconference will be held by telephone only.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Any member of the public wishing to 
obtain information concerning the public teleconference may contact Mr. 
Thomas Carpenter, Designated Federal Officer (DFO), EPA Science 
Advisory Board Staff Office (1400R), U.S. Environmental Protection 
Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20460; by 
telephone/voice mail at (202) 564-4885 or at [email protected]. 
General information about the SAB, as well as any updates concerning 
the meeting announced in this notice, may be found on the EPA Web site 
at https://www.epa.gov/sab.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 advice to the Administrator on

[[Page 26086]]

the scientific and technical basis for Agency positions and 
regulations. The SAB is a Federal Advisory Committee chartered under 
the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5 U.S.C., App. 2. The SAB 
will comply with the provisions of FACA and all appropriate SAB Staff 
Office procedural policies. Pursuant to FACA and EPA policy, notice is 
hereby given that the SAB will hold a public meeting to discuss and 
deliberate on the topics below.
    (1) As part of the EPA's effort to routinely inform the SAB about 
proposed and planned agency actions that have a scientific or technical 
basis, the agency provided notice to the SAB that the Office of 
Management and Budget published the ``Unified (Regulatory) Agenda'' on 
the Web on November 17, 2016 available at https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eAgendaMain.
    (2) The SAB convened a Work Group to review information provided in 
the agency's Fall 2016 regulatory agenda regarding EPA planned actions 
and their supporting science. The SAB will discuss recommendations and 
information developed by the Work Group regarding the adequacy of the 
science supporting the planned actions. Information about this advisory 
activity can be found on the Web at https://www.epa.gov/sab/ Briefings 
from SAB members on current activities and committee and panels 
developing advisory reports.
    Pursuant to FACA and EPA policy, notice is hereby given that the 
Chartered SAB will hold a public teleconference to discuss information 
provided by the EPA on planned actions in the Fall 2016 semi-annual 
regulatory agenda and their supporting science. The Chartered SAB will 
comply with the provisions of FACA and all appropriate SAB Staff Office 
procedural policies.
    Availability of Meeting Materials: Prior to the meeting, the review 
documents, agenda and other materials will be accessible on the SAB Web 
site at https://www.epa.gov/sab/.
    Procedures for Providing Public Input: Public comment for 
consideration by the EPA's federal advisory committees and panels has a 
different purpose from public comment provided to the 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 comments for a federal advisory committee to 
consider as it develops advice for the EPA. Interested members of the 
public may submit relevant written or oral information on the topic of 
this advisory activity, 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 provides specific scientific 
or technical information or analysis for SAB to consider or if it 
relates to the clarity or accuracy of the technical information. 
Members of the public wishing to provide comment should follow the 
instructions below to submit comments. Oral Statements: In general, 
individuals or groups requesting an oral presentation on a public 
teleconference will be limited to three minutes. Each person making an 
oral statement should consider providing written comments as well as 
their oral statement so that the points presented orally can be 
expanded upon in writing. Interested parties should contact Mr. Thomas 
Carpenter, DFO, in writing (preferably via email) at the contact 
information noted above by June 22, 2017, to be placed on the list of 
public speakers. Written Statements: Written statements should be 
supplied to the DFO via email at the contact information noted above by 
June 22, 2017, so that the information may be made available to the SAB 
members for their consideration. 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 Mr. Thomas Carpenter at 
the contact information provided above. To request accommodation of a 
disability, please contact Mr. Carpenter preferably at least ten days 
prior to each meeting to give the EPA as much time as possible to 
process your request.
