information about the SAB as well as
any updates concerning the meeting
announced in this notice may be found
on the EPA Web site at https://
www.epa.gov/sab.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The SAB
was established pursuant to the
Environmental Research, Development,
and Demonstration Authorization Act
(ERDDAA), codified at 42 U.S.C. 4365,
to provide independent scientific and
technical advice to the Administrator on
the technical basis for Agency positions
and regulations. The SAB is a Federal
Advisory Committee chartered under
the Federal Advisory Committee Act
(FACA), 5 U.S.C., App. 2. The SAB will
comply with the provisions of FACA
and all appropriate SAB Staff Office
procedural policies. Pursuant to FACA
and EPA policy, notice is hereby given
that the SAB will hold a public meeting
to discuss and deliberate on the topics
below.
As noted in the Federal Register
Notice announcing a meeting of the
chartered SAB on March 7–8, 2013 (78
FR 9689–9690), the EPA has recently
underscored the need to routinely
inform the SAB about proposed and
planned agency actions that have a
scientific or technical basis.
Accordingly, the agency provided notice
to the SAB that the Office of
Management and Budget published the
‘‘Unified (Regulatory) Agenda’’ on the
Web on December 21, 2012 (https://
www.reginfo.gov/public). On March 7–8,
2013, the Chartered SAB discussed
whether it should provide advice and
comment on the adequacy of the
scientific and technical basis for EPA
actions included in the Unified
(Regulatory) Agenda. The chartered SAB
identified three planned actions for
additional fact-finding [Effluent
Guidelines and Standards for
Unconventional Oil and Gas Extraction
Including Coalbed Methane and Shale
Gas Extraction (2040 AF35); Revised
Regulations for Environmental
Radiation Protection Standards for
Nuclear Power Plant Operations (2060
AR12), and Petroleum Refinery Sector
Risk and Technology Review (RTR) and
New Source Performance Standards
(2060 AQ75), which EPA plans to
jointly propose with Petroleum Refinery
Sector for Flares (2060–AR69)]. The
chartered SAB discussed information
gathered relating to these planned
actions at a public teleconference on
June 5, 2013 (78 FR 27964–27965). On
July 19, 2013, the chartered SAB will
conclude its discussion of the Petroleum
Refinery Sector Risk and Technology
Review (RTR) and New Source
PO 00000
Frm 00041
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Performance Standards (2060 AQ75)
and Petroleum Refinery Sector for Flares

science topics associated with those
actions.
Availability of Meeting Materials:
Agendas and materials in support of this
meeting will be placed on the EPA Web
site at https://www.epa.gov/sab in
advance of the meeting.
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 comments for a federal
advisory committee to consider as it
develops advice for EPA. Input from the
public to the SAB will have the most
impact if it provides specific scientific
or technical information or analysis for
SAB panels to consider or if it relates to
the clarity or accuracy of the technical
information. Members of the public
wishing to provide comment should
contact the Designated Federal Officer
directly. Oral Statements: In general,
individuals or groups requesting an oral
presentation at a teleconference will be
limited to three minutes. Each person
making an oral statement should
consider providing written comments as
well as their oral statement so that the
points presented orally can be expanded
upon in writing. Interested parties
should contact Dr. Angela Nugent, DFO,
in writing (preferably via email) at the
contact information noted above by July
12, 2013 for the teleconference, to be
placed on the list of public speakers.
Written Statements: Written
statements should be supplied to the
DFO via email at the contact
information noted above by July 12,
2013 for the teleconference so that the
information may be made available to
the Panel members for their
consideration. Written statements
should be supplied in one of the
following electronic formats: Adobe
Acrobat PDF, MS Word, 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
