particles. The workshop will consist of
platform presentations and panel
discussions on UFP-relevant science
related to emissions, ambient air
quality, exposures, and health effects.
State-of-the-science presentations will
be provided on combustion emissions
and control issues, health effects
evidence, and previous policy
considerations in the United States and

Europe. Presentations and discussions
will occur on metrics and indicators
relevant to air quality and health
impacts, and instruments and methods
that can be used to measure and
evaluate these metrics. The workshop
will also provide researchers with the
opportunity to describe on-going and
planned UFP research to promote
collaboration and communication
within the scientific community.
Members of the public may attend the
workshop as observers. Space is limited,
and reservations will be accepted on a
first-come, first-served basis.
The public teleconference
will be conducted by telephone only.
The public face-to-face meeting will be
held at Milken Institute School of Public
Health, Convening Center Room, George
Washington University, 950 New
Hampshire Avenue NW., Washington,

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
The SAB
was established pursuant to the
Environmental Research, Development,
and Demonstration Authorization Act
(ERDAA) 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 CAAC—Benzo[a]pyrene
Panel will hold a public teleconference
and a public face-to-face meeting. The
purpose of the teleconference is to learn
about the development of the agency’s
draft IRIS Toxicological Review of
Benzo[a]pyrene (External Review Draft–
September 2014) and to discuss the
draft charge questions for the peer
review of the document. The purpose of
the face-to-face meeting is to conduct a
peer review of the agency’s draft IRIS
Toxicological Review of Benzo[a]pyrene
(External Review Draft–September
2014). This SAB panel will provide
advice to the Administrator through the
chartered SAB.
Background: EPA’s Office of Research
and Development (ORD) requested that
the SAB conduct a peer review of the
draft Toxicological Review of
Benzo[a]pyrene (External Review Draft–
September 2014). The EPA SAB Staff
Office augmented the SAB CAAC with
subject matter experts to provide advice
through the chartered SAB regarding
this IRIS assessment.
Technical Contacts: Any technical
questions concerning EPA’s draft
Toxicological Review of Benzo[a]pyrene
(External Review Draft–September 2014)
should be directed to Dr. Samantha

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 the EPA.
Interested members of the public may
submit relevant information on the topic
of this advisory activity, for the group
conducting the activity, for the SAB to
consider during the advisory process.
Input from the public to the SAB will
have the most impact if it provides
specific scientific or technical
information or analysis for SAB
committees and 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 and an oral
presentation at the face-to-face meeting
will be limited to five minutes.
Interested parties wishing to provide
comments should contact Dr. Diana
Wong, DFO (preferably via email), at the
contact information noted above, by
February 25, 2015 to be placed on the
list of public speakers for the
teleconference and by April 8, 2015 to
be placed on the list of public speakers
for the face-to-face meeting. Written
Statements: Written statements will be
accepted throughout the advisory
process; however, for timely
consideration by Committee/Panel
members, statements should be
supplied to the DFO via email at the
contact information noted above at least
one week prior to a public meeting so
that the information may be made
available to the SAB Panel for their
consideration. Written statements
should be supplied in one of the
electronic formats: Adobe Acrobat PDF,
WordPerfect, MS PowerPoint, or Rich
