    Abstract: Indoor airPLUS is aimed at forming public-private
partnerships that help prevent various forms of indoor air pollution
and their associated health risks. This ICR covers information
collection activities under the EPA's newly revised Indoor airPLUS
program. Indoor airPLUS is a voluntary certification labeling program
that represents value-added marketability that home builders,
verification companies, and oversight organizations can use to
distinguish themselves from competition, while homeowners see increased
comfort and a healthier and safer home with improved indoor air quality
(IAQ) by requiring construction practices and product specifications
that minimize exposure to airborne pollutants and contaminants.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA Science Advisory Board (SAB) Staff Office is

(human health-based) air quality standards for oxides of nitrogen
(NOX).

DATES: Nominations should be submitted by November 7, 2012 per
instructions below.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Any member of the public wishing
further information regarding this Notice and Request for Nominations
may contact Dr. Holly Stallworth, Designated Federal Officer (DFO), SAB

<EMAIL_ADDRESS>General information concerning the EPA CASAC
can be found at the EPA CASAC Web site at http://www.epa.gov/casac.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background: The Clean Air Scientific
Advisory Committee (CASAC) was established under section 109(d)(2) of
the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act) (42 U.S.C. 7409) as an independent
scientific advisory committee. CASAC provides advice, information and
recommendations on the scientific and technical aspects of air quality
criteria and National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) under
sections 108 and 109 of the Act. The CASAC is a Federal advisory
committee chartered under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), as
amended, 5 U.S.C., App. Section 109(d)(1) of the Clean Air Act (CAA)
requires that EPA carry out a periodic review and revision, as
appropriate, of the air quality criteria and the NAAQS for the six
``criteria'' air pollutants, including oxides of nitrogen. As a Federal
Advisory Committee, the CASAC conducts business in accordance with the
Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) (5 U.S.C. App. 2) and related
regulations. The CASAC will comply with the provisions of FACA and all
appropriate SAB Staff Office procedural policies.
    Request for Nominations: The SAB Staff Office is seeking
nominations of nationally and internationally recognized scientists in
the science of air pollution related to nitrogen oxides. Experts are
sought in atmospheric science, human exposure, dosimetry, toxicology,
epidemiology, medicine, public health, biostatistics and risk
assessment.
    Process and Deadline for Submitting Nominations: Any interested
person or organization may nominate qualified individuals in the areas
of expertise described above. Nominations should be submitted in
electronic format (preferred over hard copy) following the instructions
for ``Nominating Experts to Advisory Panels and Ad Hoc Committees Being
Formed,'' provided on the SAB Web site. If you wish to nominate
yourself or another expert, please follow the instructions that can be

navigational bar at the CASAC Web site http://www.epa.gov/casac. To
receive full consideration, nominations should include all of the
information requested below.
    EPA's SAB Staff Office requests contact information about the
person making the nomination; contact information about the nominee;
the disciplinary and specific areas of expertise of the nominee; the
nominee's resume or curriculum vitae; sources of recent grant and/or
contract support; and a biographical sketch of the nominee indicating
current position, educational background, research activities, and
recent service on other national advisory committees or national
professional organizations. The bio-sketches and resume or curricula
vitae of nominees identified by respondents to this Federal Register
notice, and additional experts identified by the SAB Staff, will be
made available to the public upon request.
    Persons having questions about the nomination procedures, or who

The names and bio-sketches of qualified nominees identified by
respondents to this Federal Register notice, and additional experts
identified by the SAB Staff, will be posted in a List of Candidates on
the CASAC Web site at http://www.epa.gov/casac. Public comments on this
List of Candidates will be accepted for 21 days. The public will be
requested to provide relevant information or other documentation on
nominees that the SAB Staff Office should consider in evaluating
candidates.
    For the EPA SAB Staff Office a review panel includes candidates who
possess the necessary domains of knowledge, the relevant scientific
perspectives (which, among other factors, can be influenced by work
history and affiliation), and the collective breadth of experience to
adequately address the charge. In forming this expert panel, the SAB
Staff Office will consider public comments on the List of Candidates,
information provided by the candidates themselves, and background
information independently gathered by the SAB Staff Office. Selection
criteria to be used for panel membership include: (a) Scientific and/or
technical expertise, knowledge, and experience (primary factors); (b)
availability and willingness to serve; (c) absence of financial
conflicts of interest; (d) absence of an appearance of a lack of
impartiality; (e) skills working in committees, subcommittees and
advisory panels; and, (f) for the panel as a whole, diversity of
expertise and viewpoints.
    The SAB Staff Office'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 a
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 http://www.epa.gov/sab/pdf/epaform3110-48.pdf.
    The approved policy under which the EPA SAB Office selects
subcommittees and review panels is described in the following document:
Overview of the Panel Formation Process at the Environmental Protection
Agency Science Advisory Board (EPA-SAB-EC-02-010), which is posted on
