Bond Falls Hydroelectric Project (FERC No. 1864). The project is located on the Ontonagon River in Ontonagon and Gogebic Counties, Michigan, and Vilas County, Wisconsin, partially on lands within the Ottawa National Forest. The Bond Falls Development is located on the Middle Branch of the Ontonagon River in Ontonagon County, Michigan, and occupies 73.5 acres of land within the Ottawa National Forest. The EA contains the Commission staff’s analysis of the potential environmental effects of the planned replacement of the Bond Falls spillway and concludes that the spillway replacement, with appropriate environmental protective measures, would not constitute a major federal action that would significantly affect the quality of the human environment. Copies of the EA are available for review in the Public Reference Room 2– A of the Commission’s offices at 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426. The EA may also be viewed on the Commission’s Internet Web site (https:// www.ferc.gov) using the ‘‘eLibrary’’ link. Enter the docket number in the docket number field to access the document.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION: Any member of the public wishing further information regarding this Notice and Request for Nominations may contact Dr. Thomas Armitage, Designated Federal Officer (DFO), SAB Staff Office, by telephone/voice mail at (202) 343– 9995; by fax at (202) 233–0643 or via email at armitage.thomas@epa.gov.

Any inquiry regarding EPA’s Ecosystem Services Research Program should be directed to Dr. Rick Linthurst of EPA’s Office of Research and Development at linthurst.rick@epa.gov or (919) 541– 4909 or Ms. Iris Goodman of EPA’s Office of Research and Development at Goodman.iris@epa.gov or 202–343– 9854. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background The SAB (42 U.S.C. 4365) is a chartered Federal Advisory Committee that provides independent scientific and technical peer review, advice, consultation, and recommendations to the EPA Administrator on the technical basis for EPA actions. As a Federal Advisory Committee, the SAB conducts business in accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) (5 U.S.C. App. 2) and related regulations. Generally, SAB meetings are announced in the Federal Register, conducted in public view, and provide opportunities for public input during deliberations. The Ecological Processes and Effects Committee is a standing committee of the chartered SAB. Additional PO 00000 Frm 00016 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 information about the SAB and its committees can be obtained on the SAB Web site at https://www.epa.gov/sab. In 2008, the Science Advisory Board (SAB) (see https://yosemite.epa.gov/sab/ sabproduct.nsf/3F81610BFF770E30852 574D600718D4F/$File/EPA-SAB-08011-unsigned.pdf) reviewed the EPA Office of Research and Development (ORD) draft Ecological Research Program Multi-Year Plan. The draft Plan articulated a new strategic direction for ecological research focused on understanding ecosystem services and their contribution to human health and well-being. In 2009, the SAB provided additional consultative advice and recommendations regarding EPA implementation of the Ecosystem Services Research Program (ESRP) (see https://yosemite.epa.gov/sab/sabproduct. nsf/91190EEC56A44B3F85257641006 BB7D7/$File/EPA-SAB-09-019unsigned.pdf). ORD has requested further SAB review of the design, scope, and progress of ESRP research to model, monitor, and map ecosystem services. EPA’s ESRP monitoring, mapping, and modeling research aims to provide a publicly accessible, scalable, national atlas; a design framework to inventory ecosystem services; and integrated models for selected ecosystem services that can be directly or indirectly quantified. Request for Nominations To augment expertise on the SAB EPEC, the SAB Staff Office is seeking nominations of recognized experts in ecology, environmental economics, social and behavioral science, geographic information systems, and spatial analysis. In particular, we seek nominees with knowledge of: (1) Indicators of ecosystem services; (2) ecosystem services monitoring design; (3) landscape ecology principles, especially as related to ecosystem service indicators and atlas design; and (4) methods to facilitate the integration and interoperability of models to estimate baseline ecosystem services and their response to stressors, including changes in land use, pollutants, and climate change. Process and Deadline for Submitting Nominations Any interested person or organization may nominate individuals qualified in the area of science as described above to be considered for appointment to augment this SAB Committee. Candidates may also nominate themselves. Nominations should be submitted in electronic format (which is preferred over hard copy) following the E:\FR\FM\22APN1.SGM 22APN1
