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. Pursuant to FACA and EPA policy,
notice is hereby given that the SAB
CAAC augmented for ETBE and tBA
panel will hold a public teleconference
and a public face-to-face meeting. The
purpose of the teleconference is to learn
about the development of the two EPA
draft assessments on ETBE and tBA, and
to discuss the draft charge questions.
The purpose of the face-to-face meeting
is to conduct a peer review of these two
assessments.
In response to EPA’s Office of
Research and Development (ORD)
request that the SAB conduct a peer
review of two EPA draft assessments: (1)
Toxicological Review of Ethyl Tertiary
Butyl Ether (ETBE) and (2)
Toxicological Review for tert-Butyl
Alcohol (tert-butanol or tBA), the EPA
SAB Staff Office augmented the SAB
CAAC with subject matter experts, to
provide advice to the Administrator

Office procedural policies.
Availability of Meeting Materials:
Prior to the meeting(s), the review
documents, meeting agendas and other
supporting materials (if applicable) will
be accessible on the meeting page
corresponding to each chemical
assessment on the SAB Web site (https://
www.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
follow the instructions below to submit
comments.
Oral Statements: In general,
individuals or groups requesting to
make an oral presentation will be
limited to three minutes during a public
teleconference and five minutes during
a face-to-face meeting. Interested parties
wishing to provide comments should
contact Dr. Hill-Hammond (preferably
via email), at the contact information
noted above by June 30, 2017, to be
placed on the list of public speakers for
the teleconference and by August 8,
2017, to be placed on the list of public
speakers for the face-to-face meeting.
Written Statements: Written
statements will be accepted throughout
the advisory process; however, for
timely consideration by SAB members,
statements should be supplied to the
DFO (preferably via email) at the contact
information noted above by June 30,
2017, for the teleconference meeting and
by August 8, 2017, for the face-to-face
meeting. It is the SAB Staff Office
general policy to post written comments
on the Web page for the advisory
meeting or teleconference. Submitters
are requested to provide an 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 Dr. HillHammond 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.
