Download as PDF cprice-sewell on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES 14510 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 55 / Wednesday, March 22, 2006 / Notices SAB Staff Office is forming an expert panel, to be known as the Science Advisory Board Advisory Panel on the Distribution of Persistent Chemicals in Wastewater Treatment, to provide early advice in the form of an advisory panel on Region V’s proposed wastewater treatment persistent toxics analysis methodology. The SAB panel will comply with the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) and all appropriate SAB procedural policies. Members of the panel will be drawn from experts nominated in response to this notice and other sources. The work of the panel includes reviewing background material, participating in a few public teleconferences, and attending one or more public face-to-face meetings. Request for Nominations: The SAB Staff Office is requesting nominations for nationally and internationally recognized non-EPA scientists with demonstrated research and applied scientific experience and expertise with respect to chemistry, fate, transport, treatment, and removal of PCBs, PTSs, and other chemicals in wastewater treatment in the following areas: POTWs, plant operations; wastewater systems flow analysis; chemical fate and transport, wastewater and sludge sampling and analysis methods; statistical design and analysis of complex studies; modeling; and handling of sludges. Process and Deadline for Submitting Nominations: Any interested person or organization may nominate individuals qualified in the areas of expertise described above to serve on the SAB Panel. Nominations should be submitted in electronic format through the Form for Nominating Individuals to Panels of the EPA Science Advisory Board which can be accessed through a link on the blue navigational bar on the SAB Web site at: https://www.epa.gov/ sab. To be considered, all nominations must include the information requested on that form. Anyone who is unable to submit nominations using this form, and any questions concerning any aspects of the nomination process may contact the DFO, as indicated above in this notice. Nominations should be submitted in time to arrive no later than April 12, 2006. Any questions concerning either this process or any other aspects of this notice should be directed to the DFO. The process for forming a SAB panel is described in the Overview of the Panel Formation Process at the Environmental Protection Agency, Science Advisory Board (EPA–SAB–EC–COM–02–010), on the SAB Web site at https:// www.epa.gov/sab/pdf/ec02010.pdf. VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:56 Mar 21, 2006 Jkt 208001 The SAB Staff Office will acknowledge receipt of the nomination and inform nominees of the panel for which they have been nominated. From the nominees identified by respondents to this Federal Register notice (termed the ‘‘Widecast’’) and other sources, the SAB Staff Office will develop a smaller subset (known as the ‘‘Short List’’) for more detailed consideration. 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 21 calendar days. During this comment period, the public will be requested to provide information, analysis or other documentation on nominees that the SAB Staff Office should consider in evaluating candidates for the Panels. For the SAB, a balanced 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 panels, 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 Panel 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. Short List candidates will 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 advisory committee) and private interests and activities, or the appearance of a lack of impartiality, as defined by Federal regulation.
