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 two public
teleconferences to discuss and
deliberate on the topic below.
As part of the EPA’s effort to routinely
inform the SAB about proposed and
planned agency actions that have a
scientific or technical basis, the agency
provided notice to the SAB that the
Office of Management and Budget
published the ‘‘Unified (Regulatory)
Agenda’’ on the Web on July 3, 2013
(https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/
eAgendaMain).
During the October 25, 2013
teleconference, the SAB will discuss
whether it should provide advice and
comment on the adequacy of the
scientific and technical basis for EPA
actions included in the Agenda. The
October 30, 2013 teleconference will be
held only if the chartered SAB has not
completed its deliberations at the close
of the October 25, 2013 discussion.
Availability of Meeting Materials:
Agendas and materials in support of
these teleconferences will be placed on
the EPA Web site at https://
www.epa.gov/sab in advance of the
teleconferences.
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
October 18, 2013, 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
October 18, 2013 so that the information
may be made available to the Board
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
signatures on its Web sites. Members of
the public should be aware that their
personal contact information, if
included in any written comments, may
be posted to the SAB Web site.
Copyrighted material will not be posted
without explicit permission of the
copyright holder.
Accessibility: For information on
access or services for individuals with
disabilities, please contact Dr. Angela
Nugent at (202) 564–2218 or
nugent.angela@epa.gov. To request
accommodation of a disability, please
contact Dr. Nugent preferably at least
ten days prior to the teleconference to
give EPA as much time as possible to
process your request.

Office.
