[FRL--FRL 8679-01-OA]

Request for Nominations for the Science Advisory Board;
Contaminant Candidate List 5 Panel

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Science Advisory
Board (SAB) Staff Office requests public nominations of scientific
experts to form a Panel to review the draft EPA document titled
Contaminant Candidate List 5--Draft (CCL 5--Draft). This draft document
presents a list of contaminants that are known or anticipated to occur
in public water systems, and which may require future regulation under
the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). The CCL is one tool, EPA uses to
identify priority contaminants for future regulatory decision making
and research needs, and does not impose any requirements on any
regulated entity.

DATES: Nominations should be submitted by August 5, 2021 per the
instructions below.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Any member of the public wishing
further information regarding this Notice and Request for Nominations
may contact Carolyn Kilgore, Designated Federal Officer (DFO), EPA
Science Advisory Board by telephone/voice mail<PHONE_NUMBER>, or email
at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>General information concerning the EPA SAB
can be found at the EPA SAB website at http://www.epa.gov/sab.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Background: The SAB (42 U.S.C. 4365) is a chartered Federal
Advisory Committee that provides independent scientific and technical
peer review, advice, 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. The SAB
Staff Office is forming an expert Contaminant Candidate List (CCL) 5
Panel, under the auspices of the Chartered SAB. The CCL 5 Panel will
provide advice through the chartered SAB. The SAB and CCL 5 Panel will
comply with the provisions of FACA and all appropriate SAB Staff Office
procedural policies.
    The CCL 5 Panel will conduct the review of CCL 5--Draft prepared by
the EPA's Office of Office of Ground Water and Drinking Water (OGWDW).
OGWDW develops and helps implement national drinking water standards,
including the Contaminant Candidate List. EPA uses this list of
unregulated contaminants to prioritize drinking water research and data
collection efforts. The panel will be charged with reviewing the
science, clarity, transparency and supporting documents used to develop
the CCL 5--Draft. This panel will provide advice through the Chartered
SAB.
    Request for Nominations: The SAB Staff Office is seeking
nominations of nationally and internationally recognized scientists
with demonstrated expertise in: chemical assessments with expertise in
one or more of the following disciplines: Microbiology (with a focus on
waterborne pathogens); public health; toxicology including
developmental/reproductive toxicology; expertise on new and emerging
contaminants; statistical modeling and uncertainty analysis; risk
assessment, and exposure of contaminants in drinking water.
    Process and Deadline for Submitting Nominations: Any interested
person or organization may nominate qualified individuals in the areas
of expertise described above for possible service on the SAB Panel.
Individuals may self-nominate. Nominations should be submitted in
electronic format (preferred) following the instructions for
``Nominating Experts to Advisory Panels and Ad Hoc Committees Being
Formed,'' provided on the SAB website (see the ``Nomination of
Experts'' link under ``Current Activities'' at http://www.epa.gov/sab).
To be considered, nominations should include the information requested
below. EPA values and welcomes diversity. All qualified candidates are
encouraged to apply regardless of sex, race, disability or ethnicity.
Nominations should be submitted in time to arrive no later than August
5, 2021.
    The following information should be provided on the nomination
form: Contact information for the person making the nomination; contact
information for the nominee; and the disciplinary and specific areas of
expertise of the nominee. Nominees will be contacted by the SAB Staff
Office and will be asked to provide a recent curriculum vitae and a
narrative biographical summary that includes: Current position,
educational background; research activities; sources of research
funding for the last two years; and recent service on other national
advisory committees or national professional organizations. Persons
having questions about the nomination procedures, or who are unable to
submit nominations through the SAB website, should contact the DFO at
the contact information noted above. The names and biosketches of
qualified nominees identified by respondents to this Federal Register
notice, and additional experts identified by the SAB Staff Office, will
be posted in a list of candidates for the Panel on the SAB website at
http://www.epa.gov/sab. Public comments on the 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 balanced 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 the expert
panel, the SAB Staff Office will consider public comments on the lists
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 loss of impartiality; (e) skills working in committees,
subcommittees and advisory panels; and, (f) for the panel as a whole,
diversity of expertise and scientific points of view.
    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 Environmental Protection Agency Special
Government Employees'' (EPA Form 3110-48). This confidential form is
required and allows government officials to determine whether there is
a statutory conflict between a person's public responsibilities (which
include membership on an EPA federal advisory

committee) and private interests and activities, or the appearance of a
loss of impartiality, as defined by federal regulation. The form may be
viewed and downloaded through the ``Ethics Requirements for Advisors''
link on the SAB website at http://www.epa.gov/sab. This form should not
be submitted as part of a nomination.
    The approved policy under which the EPA SAB Office selects members
for 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 the SAB website at http://www.epa.gov/sab.

Deputy Director, Science Advisory Board Staff Office.
