NAAQS review in February 2006.
Information about EPA’s 2005–2008
Lead NAAQS Review and the CASAC
Lead Review Panel’s advice can be
found on the CASAC Web site at https://

WebProjectsbyTopicCASAC!OpenView.
This Federal Register notice seeks
nominations for subject matter experts
to serve on a new CASAC Lead Review
Panel for the next review cycle of the
Lead NAAQS that will begin in fiscal
year (FY) 2010. The Panel will be
charged with reviewing EPA’s technical
and policy assessments that support the
Agency’s review of the NAAQS for lead,
including drafts of the Integrated
Review Plan, Integrated Science
Assessment, Risk/Exposure Assessment,
Policy Assessment, and Rulemaking.
The CASAC Lead Review Panel will
comply with the provisions of FACA
and all appropriate SAB Staff Office
procedural policies.
Request for Nominations: The SAB
Staff Office is requesting nominations of
nationally recognized experts with
expertise in one or more of the
following areas, particularly with
respect to lead: Atmospheric sciences;
fate and transport; exposure assessment;
toxicology; biokinetic modeling;
epidemiology; risk assessment;
biostatistics; ecology; and air quality.
Process and Deadline for Submitting
Nominations: Any interested person or
organization may nominate qualified
individuals for possible service on the
CASAC Lead Review Panel in the areas
of expertise described above.
Nominations should be submitted in
electronic format (which is preferred
over hard copy) following the
instructions for ‘‘Nominating Experts to
Advisory Panels and Ad Hoc
Committees Being Formed’’ provided on
the SAB Web site. The instructions 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 grants
and/or contracts; 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
the SAB Web site, should contact Mr.
Aaron Yeow, DFO, as indicated above in
this notice. Nominations should be
submitted in time to arrive no later than
November 18, 2009. EPA values and
welcomes diversity. In an effort to
obtain nominations of diverse
candidates, EPA encourages
nominations of women and men of all
racial and ethnic groups.
The EPA SAB Staff Office will
acknowledge receipt of nominations.
The names and biosketches of qualified
nominees identified by respondents to
the Federal Register notice and
additional experts identified by the SAB
Staff will be posted on the SAB Web site
at https://www.epa.gov/sab. Public
comments on this ‘‘Short List’’ of
candidates will be accepted for 21
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
by work history and affiliation), and the
collective breadth of experience to
adequately address the charge. In
establishing the CASAC Lead Review
Panel, 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 and
viewpoints.
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

appearance of a lack of impartiality, as
defined by Federal regulation. The form
may be viewed and downloaded from

EPA SAB Office selects subcommittees
