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 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 SAB will hold a
public meeting to discuss and deliberate on the topics below.
    (1) Quality review of the SAB Draft 4-26-16 Review of EPA's draft
Assessment of the Potential Impacts of Hydraulic Fracturing for Oil and
Gas on Drinking Water Resources. The EPA's Office of Research and
Development (ORD) requested the SAB to conduct a peer review of the
draft assessment report concerning the relationship between hydraulic
fracturing and drinking water in the United States. The purpose of the
report, Assessment of the Potential Impacts of Hydraulic Fracturing for
Oil and Gas on Drinking Water Resources (May 2015 External Review
Draft, EPA/600/R-15/047), is to synthesize available scientific
literature and data to assess the potential for hydraulic fracturing
for oil and gas to impact the quality or quantity of drinking water
resources, and identify factors affecting the frequency or severity of
any potential impacts.
    The SAB Hydraulic Fracturing Research Advisory Panel conducted a
peer review of the EPA draft assessment and the chartered SAB will
conduct a quality review of the panel's draft report. Quality review is
a key function of the chartered SAB. Draft reports prepared by SAB
committees, panels, or work groups must be reviewed and approved by the
chartered SAB before transmittal to the EPA Administrator. Consistent
with FACA, the chartered SAB makes a determination in a public meeting
about each draft report and determines whether the report is ready to
be transmitted to the EPA Administrator.
    Background on the current advisory activity, Assessment of the
Potential Impacts of Hydraulic Fracturing for Oil and Gas on Drinking
Water Resources, can be found on the SAB Web site at https://yosemite.epa.gov/sab/sabproduct.nsf//LookupWebProjectsCurrentBOARD/F7A9DB9ABBAC015785257E540052DD54?OpenDocument.
    (2) Briefings from representatives of the EPA and other EPA
advisory Committees on topics of interest for possible future SAB
advice.
    If the SAB Staff Office determines that there will be insufficient
time during the June 14-15, 2016 meeting to accommodate the members of
the public who registered in advance to provide oral public comments,
the teleconference will be held on June 8, 2016 to provide additional
time for oral public comments.
    Availability of Meeting Materials: A meeting agenda and other
materials for the meeting will be placed on the SAB Web site at http://epa.gov/sab.

    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 EPA's charge,
meeting materials, or the group providing advice. 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 contact the DFO
directly.
    Oral Statements: In general, individuals or groups requesting an
oral presentation at a public meeting will be limited to five minutes.
Persons interested in providing oral statements at the June 14-15, 2016
meeting should contact Mr. Thomas Carpenter, DFO, in writing
(preferably via email) at the contact information noted above by June
1, 2016 to be placed on the list of registered speakers. Written
Statements: Written statements for the June 14-15, 2016 meeting should
be received in the SAB Staff Office by June 7, 2016 so that the
information can be made available to the SAB for its consideration
prior to the meeting. Written statements should be supplied to the DFO
at the contact information above via email (preferred) or in hard copy
with original signature. Submitters are requested to provide a signed
and 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. Carpenter at the
phone number or email address noted above, preferably at least ten days
prior to the meeting, to give the EPA as much time as possible to
process your request.

    Dated: April 27, 2016.
 Thomas H. Brennan,
Deputy Director, EPA Science Advisory Board Staff Office.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
before an agency submits a proposed collection of information to OMB
for approval, it must first publish a document in the Federal Register
providing a 60-day comment period and otherwise consult with members of
the public and affected agencies concerning each proposed collection of
information. The OMB has promulgated regulations describing what must
be included in such a document. Under OMB's regulation (at 5 CFR
1320.8(d)), an agency must ask for public comment on the following:
    (1) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for
the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have practical utility;
    (2) The accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
    (3) How to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected;
    (4) How to minimize the burden of the collection of information on
those who are to respond, including the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology, e.g. permitting electronic
submission of responses.
    In compliance with these requirements, NHTSA asks for public
comments on the following collection of information:
    Title: 49 CFR 571.125, Warning Devices.
    OMB Control Number: 2127-0505.

    Form Number: This collection of information uses no standard form.
    Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection of
information.
    Abstract: 49 U.S.C. 3011, 30112, and 30117 (Appendix 1) of the
National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1996, authorizes the
issuance of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS). The
Secretary is authorized to issue, amend, and revoke such rules and
regulations as she/he deems necessary. Using this authority, the agency
issued FMVSS No. 125, ``Warning Devices'' (Appendix 2), which applies
to devices, without self contained energy sources, that are designed to
be carried mandatory in buses and trucks that have a gross vehicle
weight rating (GVWR) greater than 10,000 pounds and voluntarily in
other vehicles. These devices are used to warn approaching traffic of
the presence of a stopped vehicle, except for devices designed to be
permanently affixed to the vehicles.
    Affected Public: Business or other for profit organizations.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 1.14 hours.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 3.
    Comments are invited on: whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the Department, including whether the information will have practical
utility; the accuracy of the Department's estimate of the burden of the
proposed information collection; ways to enhance the quality, utility
and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to minimize
the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including
the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
