panels has a different purpose from
public comment provided to EPA
program offices. Therefore, the process
for submitting comments to a federal

process used to submit comments to an
EPA program office. Federal advisory
committees and panels, including
scientific advisory committees, provide
independent advice to EPA. Members of
the public can submit relevant
comments on the topic of this advisory
activity, including the charge to the
panel and the EPA review documents,
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 consists of comments that
provide specific scientific or technical
information or analysis for the SAB
panel to consider or if it relates to the
clarity or accuracy of the technical
information.
Oral Statements: In general,
individuals or groups requesting an oral
presentation will be limited to three
minutes per speaker for each
teleconference. Interested parties should
contact Dr. Holly Stallworth, DFO, in
writing (preferably via email), at the

signatures on its Web sites. Members of
the public should be aware that their
personal contact information, if
