performed. EPA’s draft ‘‘Retrospective
Study of the Costs of EPA Regulations:
An Interim Report’’ (March 2012)
summarizes the work done to date,
describes the methodologies employed
thus far and discusses the numerous
challenges faced in conducting these
analyses. The report may be found at the
SAB Web site (www.epa.gov/sab and on
the EPA Web site at https://
yosemite.epa.gov/ee/epa/eed.nsf/Web
pages/RetroCost.html). EPA has
requested the SAB’s review of its
approach to assessing ex post costs as
detailed in its draft paper.
Technical Contacts: Any questions
concerning EPA’s White Paper should
be directed to Dr. Nathalie Simon, NCEE
at (202) 566–2347 or
simon.nathalie@epa.gov.
Availability of Meeting Materials: A
meeting agenda, charge questions, and
other materials for the teleconferences
will be placed on the SAB Web site at
www.epa.gov/sab.
Procedures for Providing Public
Input: Public comment for consideration
by EPA’s federal advisory committees
and panels has a different purpose from
public comment provided to EPA
program offices. Therefore, the process
for submitting comments to a federal
advisory committee is different from the
process used to submit comments to an
EPA program office. Federal advisory
committees and panels, including
scientific advisory committees, provide
independent advice to EPA. Members of
the public can submit relevant
comments pertaining to the group
conducting this advisory activity, EPA’s
charge, or meeting materials. Input from
the public to the SAB will have the most
impact if it consists of comments that
provide specific scientific or technical
information or analysis for the SAB to
consider. Members of the public
wishing to provide comment should
contact the Designated Federal Officer
for the relevant advisory committee
directly. Oral Statements: In general,
individuals or groups requesting an oral
presentation at a public teleconference
will be limited to five minutes per
speaker. To be placed on the public
speaker list for the April 19, 2012
meeting, interested parties should notify
Dr. Holly Stallworth, DFO, by email no
later than April 12, 2012. To be placed
on the public speaker list for the July 12,
2012 teleconference, interested parties
should notify Dr. Holly Stallworth by
July 5, 2012. Written Statements:
Written statements for the April 19,
2012 teleconference should be received
in the SAB Staff Office by April 12,
2012 so that the information may be
made available to the SAB Panel for its
consideration prior to this meeting.

Written statements for the July 12, 2012
teleconference should be received by

be supplied to the DFO via email
(acceptable file format: Adobe Acrobat
PDF, MS Word, WordPerfect, MS
PowerPoint, or Rich Text files in IBM–
PC/Windows 98/2000/XP format).
Accessibility: For information on
access or services for individuals with
disabilities, please contact Dr.
Stallworth at the phone number or
email address noted above, preferably at
least ten days prior to the meeting, to
give EPA as much time as possible to
process your request.

allowed to modify their proposals to
eliminate their preclusive impact on any
of the LPFM point/channel
combinations that would be available
within the grid if all translator window
applications in that market were
dismissed (‘‘Spectrum Limited

addition, any translator applicant in any
top 50 spectrum limited market must
demonstrate that its out-of-grid proposal
would not preclude the only LPFM
station licensing opportunity at that
location (‘‘Top 50 Market Preclusion

demonstrate either that no LPFM station
could be licensed at the proposed
transmitter site or, if an LPFM station
could be licensed at the site, that an
additional channel remains available for
a future LPFM station at the same site.
