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 September 24, 2012
meeting, interested parties should notify
Dr. Sue Shallal, DFO, by email no later
than September 19, 2012. Written
Statements: Written statements for these
teleconferences should be received in
the SAB Staff Office by the same
deadlines given above for requesting
oral comments. Written statements
should 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). It is
the SAB Staff Office general policy to
post written comments on the Web page
for the advisory meeting or
teleconference. Submitters are requested
to provide an unsigned version of each
document because the SAB Staff Office
does not publish documents with
signatures on its Web sites. Members of

access or services for individuals with
disabilities, please contact Dr. Shallal at

noted above, preferably at least ten days
prior to the meeting, to give EPA as
much time as possible to process your
