Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 141 / Friday, July 23, 2010 / Notices WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with NOTICES Weekly receipt of Environmental Impact Statements. Filed 07/12/2010 through 07/16/2010. Pursuant to 40 CFR 1506.9. Notice In accordance with Section 309(a) of the Clean Air Act, EPA is required to make its comments on EISs issued by other Federal agencies public. Historically, EPA has met this mandate by publishing weekly notices of availability of EPA comments, which includes a brief summary of EPA’s comment letters, in the Federal Register. Since February 2008, EPA has been including its comment letters on EISs on its Web site at: https://www.epa. gov/compliance/nepa/eisdata.html. Including the entire EIS comment letters on the Web site satisfies the Section 309(a) requirement to make EPA’s comments on EISs available to the public. Accordingly, on March 31, 2010, EPA discontinued the publication of the notice of availability of EPA comments in the Federal Register.

ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: The EPA Science Advisory Board (SAB) Staff Office announces a public teleconference of the SAB Environmental Engineering Committee (EEC) to receive briefings regarding EPA’s research activities associated with innovation and use of lifecycle analysis in technology development, carbon sequestration, and sustainability. DATES: The EEC will conduct a public teleconference on August 16, 2010. The teleconference will begin at 1 p.m. and end by 4:30 p.m. (Eastern Daylight Time). SUMMARY: The teleconference will be conducted by telephone only. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Any member of the public wishing to obtain general information concerning the public teleconference may contact Mr. Edward Hanlon, Designated Federal Officer (DFO), via telephone at (202) 564–2134 or e-mail at hanlon.edward@epa.gov. General information about the EEC can be found on the EPA SAB Web site at https:// www.epa.gov/sab. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5 U.S.C., App. 2, notice is hereby given that the SAB Environmental Engineering Committee (EEC) will hold a public teleconference to receive briefings regarding the current status of EPA’s research activities associated with innovation and use of lifecycle analysis in technology development, carbon sequestration, and sustainability. The EEC was established to provide independent advice to the EPA Administrator, through the chartered SAB, on risk management technologies to control and prevent pollution.

The EEC will provide advice through the chartered SAB and will comply with the provisions of FACA and all appropriate SAB Staff Office procedural policies. Background: EPA has a goal to develop and apply environmental technologies that are used to support environmental protection in a manner that increases efficiency. EPA is considering how to promote innovation within EPA and in the public and private sector so that technologies are more efficient. EPA is also considering how to bring lifecycle analysis (LCA) into the EPA’s practices and procedures in support of EPA’s efforts to produce, generate and develop environmental technologies. EPA is considering how to potentially apply LCA to achieve these objectives and goals. The EEC will receive briefings regarding the current status of EPA’s research activities associated with innovation and use of lifecycle analysis in technology development. Also, EPA is conducting research to evaluate the technical aspects of carbon dioxide geologic sequestration. EPA released guidance for pilot geologic sequestration projects in March, 2007. This guidance only addresses experimental pilot projects anticipated over the next several years. The EEC will receive briefings regarding the current status of EPA’s research activities associated with carbon sequestration. In addition, in 2007, the EEC through the chartered SAB provided advice on EPA’s Draft Sustainability Research Strategy and multi-year research plan developed by EPA’s Office of Research and Development (ORD). The strategy proposed a scientific framework for a more systematic and holistic approach to environmental protection that takes into consideration the complex nature of environmental issues and the welfare of future generations, and the multi-year research plan described ORD’s research to meet the short-term and long-term goals of the Research Strategy. The EEC will receive briefings regarding the current status of EPA’s research activities associated with sustainability. SAB’s June 2007 Advisory on the Office of Research and Development’s (ORD) Sustainability Research Strategy and the Science and Technology for Sustainability Multi-year Plan is available on the SAB Web site at https:// yosemite.epa.gov/sab/sabproduct.nsf/ 02ad90b136fc21ef85256eba00436459/ 883382937a4656cc85256fa8004e14a2!
