the technical basis for Agency positions

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.
Members of the public can submit
relevant comments pertaining to the
EPA’s charge, meeting materials, or the
group providing advice. Input from the
public to the SAB will have the most
impact if it provides specific scientific
or technical information or analysis for
the SAB to consider or if it relates to the
clarity or accuracy of the technical
information. Members of the public
wishing to provide comment should
follow the instructions below to submit
comments.
Oral Statements: In general,
individuals or groups requesting to
make an oral presentation will be
limited to three minutes during a public
teleconference. Interested parties
wishing to provide comments should
contact Dr. Bloomer (preferably via
email), at the contact information noted
above by November 28, 2017, to be
placed on the list of public speakers for
the teleconference.
Written Statements: Written
statements will be accepted throughout
the advisory process; however, for
timely consideration by SAB members,
statements should be supplied to the
DFO (preferably via email) at the contact
information noted above by November
28, 2017. It is the SAB Staff Office
general policy to post written comments
on the Web page for the advisory
meeting 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. Bloomer
at the phone number or email address
noted above, preferably at least ten days
prior to the meeting, to give the EPA as
much time as possible to process your
request.
