provided on the SAB Web site. The form
can be accessed through the
‘‘Nomination of Experts’’ link on the
blue navigational bar on the SAB Web
site at https://www.epa.gov/sab. To
receive full consideration, nominations
should include all of the information
requested.
EPA’s SAB Staff Office 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; sources of recent grant
and/or contract support; and a
biographical sketch of the nominee
indicating current position, educational
background, research activities, and
recent service on other national
advisory committees or national

The EPA SAB Staff Office will

The names and biosketches of qualified

the Federal Register notice and
additional experts identified by the SAB
Staff will be posted on the SAB Web site

calendar days. The public will be
requested to provide relevant
information or other documentation on
nominees that the SAB Staff Office
should consider in evaluating
candidates.
For the EPA SAB Staff Office, a
balanced subcommittee or review panel
includes candidates who possess the
necessary domains of knowledge, the
relevant scientific perspectives (which,
among other factors, can be influenced
VerDate Nov<24>2008

by work history and affiliation), and the
collective breadth of experience to
adequately address the charge. In
establishing the augmented EHHC, the
SAB Staff Office will consider public
comments on the ‘‘Short List’’ of
candidates, information provided by the
candidates themselves, and background
information independently gathered by
the SAB Staff Office. Selection criteria
to be used for Panel membership
include: (a) Scientific and/or technical
expertise, knowledge, and experience
(primary factors); (b) availability and
willingness to serve; (c) absence of
financial conflicts of interest; (d)
absence of an appearance of a lack of
impartiality; and (e) skills working in
committees, subcommittees and
advisory panels; and, for the Panel as a
whole, (f) diversity of, and balance
among, scientific expertise, viewpoints,
etc.
The SAB Staff Office’s evaluation of
an absence of financial conflicts of
interest will include a review of 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. The form
may be viewed and downloaded from
the following URL address: https://
www.epa.gov/sab/pdf/epaform311048.pdf.
The approved policy under which the
EPA SAB Office selects subcommittees
and review panels is described in the
following document: Overview of the
