I. Process of Obtaining Candidates for
Consideration
EPA’s contractor, ERG, is assembling
a panel of scientific experts to evaluate
the ‘‘Proposed Modeling Approaches for
a Health-Based Benchmark for Lead in
Drinking Water’’ report. EPA, through
its contractor, is seeking peer reviewers
who possess a strong background and
demonstrated expertise in one or more
of the following areas: (1)
Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic
modeling, particularly with regard to
lead, (2) environmental lead exposure
analyses, particularly with regard to
probabilistic modeling. EPA published a
request for nominations of peer
reviewers in a January 19, 2017, Federal
Register notice (82 FR 6546). The
nomination period closed on February
21,2017. ERG also conducted an
independent search for scientific
experts to augment the list of publicallynominated candidates. In total, ERG
evaluated 26 candidates that were
nominated during the public
nomination period or identified
independently by ERG.
Screening Process
ERG considered and screened all
candidates against the selection criteria,
which include the following: (1)
Demonstrated expertise through
relevant peer reviewed publications; (2)
professional accomplishments and
recognition by professional societies; (3)
demonstrated ability to work
constructively and effectively in a
committee setting; (4) absence of
financial conflicts of interest; (5) no
actual conflicts of interest or appearance
of lack of impartiality; (6) willingness to
commit adequate time for the thorough
review of the draft report; and (7)
availability to participate in-person in a
one-day or two-day peer review meeting
in the Washington, DC, metro area,
projected to occur in the summer of
2017 (exact date will be published in
the Federal Register at least 30 days
prior to the external peer review
meeting). Following the screening
process, the contractor narrowed the list
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:36 Mar 17, 2017
Jkt 241001
of potential reviewers to 13 candidates.
EPA is now soliciting comments on this
interim list. EPA requests that the
public provide relevant information or
documentation on the expertise that the
contractor should consider in evaluating
these candidates. ERG will consider all
comments received in response to this
notice in the selection of the final peer
review panel, which will collectively
provide appropriate expertise spanning
the subject matter areas covered by the
report and, to the extent feasible, best
provide a balance of perspectives. See
section II of the SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION section of this notice for
the interim list of candidates.
Responsibilities of Peer Reviewers
Peer reviewers will be charged with
evaluating and preparing written
comments on the lead modeling report.
ERG will provide reviewers with a
summary and compilation of public
comments on the report submitted to
EPA’s docket (ID number EPA–HQ–
OW–2016–0686) for consideration.
Reviewers will participate in the public
meeting expected to be held in the
Washington, DC, metro area in the
summer of 2017 (exact date to be
determined), to discuss the scientific
basis supporting these materials.
Following the meeting, ERG will
provide a report to EPA of the peer
reviewer’s evaluation of the scientific
and technical merit of the lead modeling
report and their responses to the charge
questions. EPA will make the final
expert peer review report available to
the public (exact date to be determined).
In preparing the final lead modeling
report, EPA will consider the expert
peer review report as well as the written
public comments submitted to the
docket.
II. Interim List of Peer Reviewers
ERG is considering the following
candidates for the peer review panel.
Biosketches are available through the
docket at https://www.regulations.gov
(Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–OW–2016–
0686). After review and consideration of
public comments on the interim list of
candidates being considered, ERG will
select the final peer reviewers from this
interim list, who will, collectively, best
provide expertise spanning the areas of
knowledge and experience described in
the Federal Register notice (82 FR 6546)
and, to the extent feasible, best provide
a balance of perspectives. EPA will
announce the peer review panel meeting
date, location and observer registration
details, along with the final list of peer
reviewers selected by ERG, at least 30
days prior to the meeting.

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is no need for confidentiality with
this collection of information.
Needs and Uses: FCC Form 340 is
used by licensees and permittees to
apply for authority to construct a new
noncommercial educational (‘‘NCE’’)
FM and DTV broadcast station
(including a DTS facility), or to make
changes in the existing facilities of such
a station. FCC Form 340 is only used if
the station will operate on a channel
that is reserved exclusively for NCE use,
or in the situation where applications
for NCE stations on non-reserved
channels are mutually exclusive only
with one another. Also, FCC Form 340
is used by Native American Tribes and
Alaska Native Villages (‘‘Tribes’’), tribal
consortia, or entities owned or
controlled by Tribes when qualifying for
the ‘‘Tribal Priority’’ under 47 CFR
73.7000, 73.7002.
FCC Form 340 also contains a third
party disclosure requirement, pursuant
to Section 73.3580. This rule requires a
party applying for a new broadcast
station, or making a major change to an
existing station, to give local public
notice of this filing in a newspaper of
general circulation in the community in
which the station is located. This local
public notice must be completed within
30 days of tendering the application.
This notice must be published at least
twice a week for two consecutive weeks
in a three-week period. In addition, a
copy of this notice must be placed in the
station’s public inspection file along
with the application, pursuant to
Section 73.3527. This recordkeeping
information collection requirement is
contained in OMB Control No. 3060–
0214, which covers Section 73.3527.
