ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[FRL-10983-01-OA]

Public Meeting of the Science Advisory Board

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Science Advisory
Board (SAB) Staff Office is announcing a public meeting of the
chartered Science Advisory Board. The purpose of the meeting is to
discuss recommendations received from the SAB Work Group for Review of
Science Supporting EPA Decisions concerning SAB review of EPA planned
regulatory actions.

DATES: Public Meeting: The chartered Science Advisory Board will meet
on Friday, June 23, 2023, from 12 noon to 5 p.m. Eastern Time.
    Comments: See the section titled ``Procedures for Providing Public
Input'' under SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION for instructions and deadlines.

ADDRESSES: The meeting will be conducted virtually. Please refer to the
SAB website at https://sab.epa.gov for information on how to attend the
meeting.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Any member of the public who wants
further information concerning this notice may contact Dr. Thomas
Armitage, Designated Federal Officer (DFO), via telephone (202) 564-
2155, or email at [email protected]. General information about
the SAB, as well as any updates concerning the meeting announced in
this notice, can be found on the SAB website at https://sab.epa.gov.

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 advice to the EPA Administrator on 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 chartered Science Advisory Board will hold a public meeting to
discuss and deliberate on recommendations received from the SAB Work
Group for Review of Science Supporting EPA Decisions concerning SAB
review of EPA planned regulatory actions.
    Under the SAB's authorizing statute, the SAB ``may make available
to the Administrator, within the time specified by the Administrator,
its advice and comments on the adequacy of the scientific and technical
basis'' of proposed rules. The SAB Work Group for Review of Science
Supporting EPA Decisions (SAB SSD Work Group) is charged with
identifying EPA planned actions that may warrant SAB review. The SAB
will discuss recommendations received from the SAB SSD Work Group.
    Availability of Meeting Materials: All meeting materials, including
the agenda, will be available on the SAB web page at https://sab.epa.gov.
    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 pertaining to the
committee's charge or meeting materials. Input from the public to the
SAB will have the most impact if it provides specific scientific or
technical information or analysis for the 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
instruction below to submit comments.
    Oral Statements: In general, individuals or groups requesting an
oral presentation at a meeting conducted virtually 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. Persons
interested in providing oral statements should contact the DFO, in
writing (preferably via email) at the contact information noted above
in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT, by June 19, 2023, to be placed
on the list of registered speakers.
    Written Statements: Written statements will be accepted throughout
the advisory process; however, for timely consideration by SAB members,
statements should be submitted to the DFO by June 19, 2023, for
consideration at the June 23, 2023, meeting. Written statements should
be supplied to the DFO at the contact information above via email.
Submitters are requested to provide an unsigned version of each
document because the SAB Staff Office does not publish documents with
signatures on its websites. Members of the public should be aware that
their personal contact information if included in any written comments,
may be posted to the SAB website. Copyrighted material will not be
posted without the explicit permission of the copyright holder.
    Accessibility: For information on access or services for
individuals with disabilities, please contact the DFO, at the contact
information noted above, preferably at least ten days prior to the
meeting, to give the EPA as much time as possible to process your
request.

V. Khanna Johnston,
Deputy Director, Science Advisory Board Staff Office.
