ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The EPA Science Advisory
Board (SAB) Staff Office announces a
public teleconference to review a draft
SAB report on the EPA’s Integrated Risk
Information System (IRIS) Toxicological
Review of Benzo[a]pyrene.
DATES: The public teleconference for the
Chartered SAB will be conducted on
Tuesday January 26, 2016 from 2:00
p.m. to 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Time).
ADDRESSES: The public teleconference

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Any

telephone/voice mail at (202) 564–4885
or at carpenter.thomas@epa.gov.
General information about the SAB as
well as any updates concerning the
teleconference 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. Pursuant to
FACA and EPA policy, notice is hereby
given that the chartered SAB will hold
a public teleconference to conduct a
quality review of the draft SAB report
on the IRIS programs Toxicological
Assessment for Benzo[a]pyrene. The
SAB undertook this review at the
request of the EPA’s Office of Research
and Development (ORD). Quality review
is a key function of the chartered SAB.
Draft reports prepared by SAB
committees, panels, or work groups
must be reviewed and approved by the
chartered SAB before transmittal to the
EPA Administrator. Consistent with

determination in a public meeting about
each draft report and determines
whether the report is ready to be
transmitted to the EPA Administrator.
For the EPA’s Toxicological Review of
Benzo[a]pyrene, External Review Draft
(September, 2014), the ORD conducted
a qualitative characterization of the
hazards for benzo[a]pyrene, including a
cancer descriptor of the chemical’s
human carcinogenic potential, cancer
risk estimates for oral, inhalation and
dermal exposure, and noncancer
toxicity values for chronic oral
(reference dose) and inhalation
(reference concentration) exposure.

Availability of Meeting Materials: The
agenda and materials in support of this
teleconference will be available on the
EPA Web site at https://www.epa.gov/sab
in advance of the teleconference.
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. 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 Mr.
Thomas Carpenter, DFO, in writing
(preferably via email) at the contact
information noted above, by January 19,
2016 to be placed on the list of public
speakers. Written Statements: Written
statements should be supplied to the
DFO, preferably via email, at the contact
information noted above one week
before the teleconference so that the
information may be made available to

the Board members for their
consideration. 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 Mr. Thomas
Carpenter at (202) 564–4885 or
carpenter.thomas@epa.gov. To request
accommodation of a disability, please
contact Mr. Carpenter preferably at least
ten days prior to the teleconference to
give EPA as much time as possible to
process your request.

I. Additional Information About the
Proposed Consent Decree
The proposed consent decree would
resolve a lawsuit filed by the Plaintiffs
seeking to compel EPA to take actions
required under CAA section 110(k)(2)–
(4). The Plaintiffs’ lawsuit alleged that
EPA has a mandatory duty to take final
action to approve or disapprove, in
whole or in part, the portions of the
South Coast Air Quality Management
District’s Final 2012 Air Quality
Management Plan that address
attainment of the 2006 PM2.5 NAAQS.
California made this SIP submission on
February 13, 2013. The submission was
complete by operation of law on August
13, 2013. Section 110(k)(2) requires EPA
to take action on a SIP submission
within one year of the date it is
complete. The Plaintiffs allege that EPA
had a mandatory duty to take action on
the submission by August 13, 2014.
Under the terms of the proposed
consent decree, EPA must take final
action no later than March 15, 2016,
with respect to this claim. See the
proposed consent decree for the specific
details.
For a period of thirty (30) days
following the date of publication of this
notice, the Agency will accept written
comments relating to the proposed
consent decree from persons who are
not named as parties or intervenors to
the litigation in question. EPA or the
Department of Justice may withdraw or
withhold consent to the proposed
consent decree if the comments disclose
facts or considerations that indicate that
such consent is inappropriate,
improper, inadequate, or inconsistent
with the requirements of the Act. Unless
EPA or the Department of Justice
determines that consent to this
proposed consent decree should be
withdrawn, the terms of the consent
decree will be affirmed. EPA published
a prior notice of this proposed consent
decree on October 21, 2015. In order to
assure that all parties have notice of the
proposed consent decree, EPA is
providing this additional notice and
opportunity to comment upon the
proposed consent decree pursuant to
section 113(g).
II. Additional Information About
Commenting on the Proposed Consent
Decree
A. How can I get a copy of the proposed
consent decree?

action (identified by EPA–HQ–OGC–
