Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 183 / Thursday, September 22, 2005 / Notices
Therefore, the SAB Staff Office will
select a set of nominees for
consideration to serve on the GISST
Review Panel (known as the ‘‘Short
List’’) from the rosters of SAB panels
that reviewed the CrEAM and ReVA
methods, and from previously
published Short Lists of candidates for
those panels. The rosters of the SAB
Critical Ecosystem Assessment Model
Review Panel and the SAB Regional
Vulnerability Assessment Advisory
Panel, as well as the Short Lists of
candidates for these panels, are
available on the SAB Web site https://
www.epa.gov/sab. The Short List will be
posted on the SAB Web site at: https://
www.epa.gov/sab, and will include, for
each candidate, the nominee’s name and
biosketch. Public comments on the
Short List will be accepted for 14
calendar days. During this comment
period, the public will be requested to
provide information, analysis or other
documentation on nominees that the
SAB Staff should consider in evaluating
candidates for the Panel.
For the SAB, a balanced review panel
(i.e., committee, subcommittee, or
panel) is characterized by inclusion of
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. Public
responses to the Short List candidates
will be considered in the selection of
the panel, along with information
provided by candidates and information
gathered by SAB Staff independently of
the background of each candidate (e.g.,
financial disclosure information and
computer searches to evaluate a
nominee’s prior involvement with the
topic under review). Specific criteria to
be used in evaluation of an individual
subcommittee member include: (a)
Scientific and/or technical expertise,
knowledge, and experience (primary
factors); (b) absence of financial
conflicts of interest; (c) scientific
credibility and impartiality; (d)
availability and willingness to serve;
and (e) ability to work constructively
and effectively in committees.
Prospective panelists will also be
required to fill-out the ‘‘Confidential
Financial Disclosure Form for Special
Government Employees Serving on
Federal Advisory Committees at the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’’
(EPA Form 3110–48). This confidential
form allows Government officials to
determine whether there is a statutory
conflict between that person’s public
responsibilities (which includes
membership on an EPA Federal
