Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 221 / Friday, November 16, 2007 / Notices
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: In 2003, EPA issued a
draft Report on the Environment
describing the status of and trends in
the environment and human health. The
draft 2003 Report on the Environment
was reviewed by the SAB (see https://
www.epa.gov/sab/pdf/sab_05_004.pdf).
EPA used advice received from the SAB
and comments from stakeholders to
develop an improved and updated draft
Report on the Environment 2007. The
Report on the Environment 2007
consists of: a Science Report (ROE 2007
Science Report) containing detailed
scientific and technical information, a
Highlights Document written for
concerned citizens, and an electronic
document facilitating access to material
in the reports. The ROE 2007 Science
Report asks key questions about the
current status of, and trends in, the
condition of the environment and
human health. These questions are
intended to be relevant to EPA’s current
regulatory and programmatic activities
and mission, and they have been
answered using a suite of environmental
and human health indicators.
EPA’s Office of Research and
Development requested that the SAB
review the ROE 2007 Science Report. In
response to EPA’s request, the SAB Staff
Office formed the Panel for the Review
of EPA’s 2007 Report on the
Environment. Background information
on the Panel formation process was
provided in a Federal Register notice
published on May 25, 2006 (71 FR
30138). The Panel has previously held
two teleconferences and a face-to-face
meeting (72 FR 29498; 72 FR 56342).
Information about the SAB Panel for the
Review of EPA’s 2007 Report on the
Environment is available on the SAB
Web site at: https://www.epa.gov/sab.
Availability of Meeting Materials: The
draft Report on the Environment 2007:
Science Report reviewed by the SAB
Panel is available on the following EPA
Office of Research and Development
Web site: https://cfpub.epa.gov/ncea/
cfm/recordisplay.cfm?deid=140917. The
agenda and other material for the
upcoming public teleconference will be
posted on the SAB Web site at: https://
