and recommendations on the
development and application of science
at EPA. Nominations should be
submitted in electronic format (which is
preferred over hard copy) through the
Form for Nomination to Chartered
Advisory Committees or SAB
Subcommittees provided on the SAB
Web site. The form can be accessed
through the SAB Nomination Form link
on the blue navigational bar on the SAB
Web site at: https://www.epa.gov/sab. To
be considered, all nominations should
include the information requested on
that form.
Nominators are asked to identify the
specific committee or committees for
which nominees would like to be
considered. The nominating form
requests contact information about: The
person making the nomination; contact
information about the nominee; the
disciplinary and specific areas of
expertise of the nominee; the nominee’s
curriculum vita; and a biographical
sketch of the nominee indicating current
position, educational background;
research activities; and recent service on
other national advisory committees or
national professional organizations.
Persons having questions about the
nomination procedures, or who are
unable to submit nominations through

Candidates will be asked to submit
the ‘‘Confidential Financial Disclosure
Form for Special Government
Employees Serving on Federal Advisory
Committees at the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency’’ (EPA Form 3110–

conflict between that person’s public
responsibilities as a Special Government
Employee and private interests and
activities, or the appearance of a lack of
impartiality, as defined by Federal
regulation. The form may be viewed and
downloaded at the SAB Web site at:

address scientific issues facing the
Agency. The primary criteria to be used
in evaluating potential nominees will be

scientific and/or technical expertise,
knowledge, and experience. Additional
criteria that will be used to evaluate
technically qualified nominees will
include: The absence of financial
conflicts of interest; scientific credibility
and impartiality; availability and
willingness to serve; and the ability to
work constructively and effectively on
committees. The selection of new
members will also include
consideration of the collective breadth
and depth of scientific perspectives; a
balance of scientific perspectives;
continuity of knowledge and
understanding of EPA missions and
environmental programs, and diversity
factors (e.g., geographical areas and
professional affiliations) for each of the
chartered committees, SAB
subcommittees.
