Download as PDF emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with NOTICES 34740 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 117 / Wednesday, June 18, 2014 / Notices for Ozone and on EPA’s Integrated Review Plan for the Primary National Ambient Air Quality Standard for Sulfur Dioxide. The CASAC quality review process ensures that all draft reports developed by CASAC panels, committees or workgroups are reviewed and approved by the Chartered CASAC before being finalized and transmitted to the EPA Administrator. These reviews are conducted in a public meeting or teleconference as required by FACA. The EPA is proposing the addition of the Nitric Oxide (NO)Chemiluminescence method as an additional Federal Reference Method (FRM) for ozone. The CASAC Air Monitoring and Methods Subcommittee (AMMS) reviewed the scientific and technical aspects of a draft document that supports the EPA’s recommendation to add the NOChemiluminescence method as an FRM and developed the draft report ‘‘Review of EPAs Recommendation for an Additional Federal Reference Method for Ozone-Nitric OxideChemiluminescence’’. The Chartered CASAC will conduct a quality review of this draft CASAC report. Background information about this advisory activity can be found on the CASAC Web site at https://yosemite.epa.gov/sab/ sabproduct.nsf/fedrgstr_activites/ O3%20FRM%3A%20NOChemiluminescence?OpenDocument. The EPA’s Integrated Review Plan for the Primary NAAQS for Sulfur Dioxide (External Review Draft—March 2014) presents the planned approach for the review of the primary (health-based) NAAQS for sulfur oxides. The CASAC Augmented for Sulfur Oxides Panel reviewed this document and developed the report ‘‘Draft CASAC Review of the EPA’s Integrated Review Plan for the Primary National Ambient Air Quality Standard for Sulfur Dioxide.’’ The Chartered CASAC will conduct a quality review of this draft CASAC report. Background information about this advisory activity can be found on the CASAC Web site at https:// yosemite.epa.gov/sab/sabproduct.nsf/ fedrgstr_activites/SO2%20Primary %20NAAQS%20Review?

Availability of Meeting Materials: Prior to the meeting, the review documents, agenda and other materials will be accessible through the calendar link on the blue navigation bar at https://www.epa.gov/casac/. 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 VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:35 Jun 17, 2014 Jkt 232001 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. Interested members of the public may submit relevant written or oral information on the topic of this advisory activity, and/ or the group conducting the activity, for the CASAC to consider during the advisory process. Input from the public to the CASAC will have the most impact if it provides specific scientific or technical information or analysis for CASAC 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 DFO directly. Oral Statements: In general, individuals or groups requesting an oral presentation on a public 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 Mr. Aaron Yeow, DFO, in writing (preferably via email) at the contact information noted above by July 9, 2014 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 9, 2014 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 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 CASAC 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 PO 00000 Frm 00026 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 disabilities, please contact Mr. Aaron Yeow at (202) 564–2050 or yeow.aaron@ epa.gov. To request accommodation of a disability, please contact Mr. Yeow preferably at least ten days prior to each meeting to give EPA as much time as possible to process your request.

ACTION: Request for Nominations to the Clean Air Act Advisory Committee (CAAAC). AGENCY: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) invites nominations from a diverse range of qualified candidates to be considered for appointment to its Clean Air Act Advisory Committee (CAAAC). Vacancies are anticipated to be filled by February 2015. Background: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) established the Clean Air Act Advisory Committee (CAAAC) on November 19, 1990, to provide independent advice and counsel to EPA on policy issues associated with implementation of the Clean Air Act of 1990. The Committee advises on economic, environmental, technical, scientific and enforcement policy issues. The programs falling under the purview of the committee include the National Ambient Air Quality Standards, emissions from vehicles and vehicle fuels, air toxic emissions, greenhouse gas emissions, operating permits and collecting fees, and other authorities. Members are appointed by the EPA Administrator for two-year terms with the possibility of reappointment to additional terms. The CAAAC usually meets two to three times annually and the average workload for the members is approximately 5 to 8 hours per month. Although we are unable to offer compensation or an honorarium for your services, you may receive travel SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00027 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 34741 and per diem allowances, according to applicable federal travel regulations. Additional information on these meetings, CAAAC and its Subcommittees can be found on the CAAAC Web site: https://www.epa.gov/ air/caaac/. EPA is seeking nominations from academia, industry, non-governmental/ environmental organizations, state and local government agencies, tribal governments, unions, trade associations, utilities, and lawyers/consultants. EPA values and welcomes diversity. In an effort to obtain nominations of diverse candidates, EPA encourages nominations of women and men of all racial and ethnic groups. The following criteria will be used to evaluate nominees: —The background and experiences that would help members contribute to the diversity of perspectives on the committee (e.g., geographic, economic, social, cultural, educational, and other considerations —Experience serving as an elected official; —Experience serving as an appointed official for a state, county, city or tribe; —Experience in working at the national level on local governments issues; —Demonstrated experience with air quality policy issues; —Executive management level experience with membership in broad-based networks; —Excellent interpersonal, oral and written communication, and consensus-building skills. —Ability to volunteer time to attend meetings 2–3 times a year, participate in teleconference meetings, attend listening sessions with the Administrator or other senior-level officials, develop policy recommendations to the Administrator, and prepare reports and advice letters. EPA will not appoint any federallyregistered lobbyists to the committee. In addition, EPA’s policy is that, unless otherwise prescribed by statute, members generally are appointed to two-year terms. Nominations: Nominations should include: A resume and a short biography describing the professional and educational qualifications of the nominee, as well as the nominee’s current business address, email address, and daytime telephone number. In addition, nominees are invited to provide additional information that would be useful to EPA in considering the nominations, including a brief summary of the nominee’s interest in air E:\FR\FM\18JNN1.SGM 18JNN1
