Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 165 / Friday, August 25, 2006 / Notices
Pursuant
to the Federal Advisory Committee Act,
Public Law 92–463, notice is hereby
given that the EPA SAB will hold a
public telephone conference to review
three draft SAB Panel reports. The SAB
was established by 42 U.S.C. 4365 to
provide independent scientific and
technical advice to the Administrator on
the technical basis for Agency positions
and regulations. The SAB is a Federal
Advisory Committee chartered under
the Federal Advisory Committee Act
(FACA), as amended, 5 U.S.C., App. The
SAB will comply with the provisions of
FACA and all appropriate SAB Staff
Office procedural policies.
Background: The purpose of the
teleconference is to review three draft
SAB reports. In reviewing draft reports
from its Panels, the SAB considers
whether: (i) The original charge
questions to the SAB review panel were
adequately addressed in the draft report,
(ii) the draft report is clear and logical;
and (iii) the conclusions drawn, or
recommendations made in the draft
report, are supported by the body of the
report. The draft reports to be reviewed
at this meeting resulted from the efforts
of several SAB Panels and they focus on
the following issues:
(1) Rad Net: RadNet is the United
States’ only comprehensive network for
monitoring radioactivity and ionizing
radiation in the environment. Since its
inception in 1973, RadNet (formerly
known as the Environmental Radiation
Ambient Monitoring System (ERAMS)
has continuously monitored multiple
media, including air, precipitation,
surface water, drinking water, and milk.
The Environmental Protection Agency
proposed to upgrade and expand the air
monitoring component to address
homeland security concerns, as well as
to meet the original mission to provide
information on nuclear or radiological
accidents. When implementation is
complete, RadNet will consist of 180
fixed monitors augmented by 40
deployable monitors with real-time
monitoring capability. Additional
information on the SAB review of
RadNet can be found at: https://
www.epa.gov/sab/panels/
rac_radnet_review_panel.htm.
(2) Second Generation Model: The
Second Generation Model (SGM) is a
computer program that simulates the
economic interactions and contributions
to greenhouse gas emissions of 14
regions of the world. The model
contains detail on the functioning of
labor markets, energy fuels markets, and
commodity markets in each region. Its
general-equilibrium framework attempts
to integrate consistently the behavior of
these markets both within and across

regions. The model is designed to
simulate such climate policies as carbon
fees, greenhouse gas allowance trading,
and incentives for accelerated energy
conservation. For each policy simulated,
the SGM indicates potential impacts on
a range of economic and other variables,
including labor demand, investment,
industrial output, GDP, energy use,
emissions, and government revenue.
The model indicates policy impacts not
only in the near term but at various
points in the future as well. Additional
information on the SAB review of the
SGM can be found at: https://
www.epa.gov/sab/panels/
sgm_adv_panel.htm.
(3) All Ages Lead Model: The All Ages
Lead Model (AALM) is designed to
predict lead concentrations in body
tissues and organs for a hypothetical
individual, based on a simulated
lifetime of lead exposure. Statistical
methods can be used to extrapolate to a
population of similarly-exposed
individuals. The precursor to the AALM
was the Integrated Exposure Uptake
Biokinetic (IEUBK) Model for Lead in
Children. The IEUBK Model underwent
peer review by the SAB in 1991 and was
subsequently revised in response to that
review, leading to release of Version
0.99d of the IEUBK Model in March
1994. Since then, the IEUBK Model has
been widely accepted and used in the
risk assessment community as a tool for
implementing the site-specific risk
assessment process when the issue is
childhood lead exposure. Based on
further refinement of the IEUBK Model
and its expansion for use with
additional age groups beyond pediatric
populations six years old or younger,
the AALM has recently been developed
to cover older childhood and adult lead
exposure. The anticipated outcome of
this model is reduced uncertainty in
lead exposure assessments for children
and adults. Additional information on
the SAB review of the All Ages Lead
Model can be found at: https://
www.epa.gov/sab/panels/
ad_hoc_aalm_rev_panel.htm.
Availability of Meeting Materials: The
draft agendas and other materials will
be posted on the SAB Web site at:
https://www.epa.gov/sab/ prior to the
telephone conference.
Procedures for Providing Public Input:
Interested members of the public may
submit relevant written or oral
information for the SAB to consider
during the telephone conference. Oral
Statements: In general, individuals or
groups requesting an oral presentation
at a public SAB telephone conference
will be limited to three minutes per
