SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES ADDRESSES: VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:45 Nov 07, 2019 Jkt 250001 EPA established the FRRCC in 2008 pursuant to the Federal Advisory Committee Act, Public Law 92–463, in order to help EPA build a more positive and proactive relationship with the agricultural industry in furtherance of EPA’s mission to protect human health and the environment. The FRRCC serves as part of EPA’s efforts to expand cooperative working relationships with the agriculture community and others who are interested in agricultural issues and achieving greater progress in environmental protection. The FRRCC provides advice and recommendations to the EPA Administrator on environmental issues and programs that impact, or are of concern to, farms, ranches and rural communities. Topics addressed may include food loss and waste, water or air quality issues, pesticides, toxics, emergency response, enforcement and compliance, technology and innovation, and other topics of environmental importance pertaining to agriculture and rural communities. The previous Charter for the FRRCC was scheduled to expire and therefore was renewed in 2018; however, the committee currently has no members. EPA is currently seeking 20–30 members for the committee, who will be appointed for 2–3 year terms. The membership of this committee will include a balanced representation of interested persons with relevant experience to contribute to the functions of the committee, and will be drawn from relevant sectors, including; but not limited to academia, agricultural industry, nongovernmental organizations, and state, local, and tribal governments. The Committee expects to meet approximately twice a year, or as needed and approved by the Designated Federal Officer (DFO). Meetings will be held in Washington, DC and the EPA regions. Members serve on the Committee in a voluntary capacity. However, EPA may provide reimbursement for travel expenses associated with official government business. II. Eligibility Because of the nature of the issues to be discussed, it is the intent of the Agency for the majority of Committee members to be actively engaged in farming or ranching. The membership of this committee will include a balanced representation of interested persons with relevant experience to contribute to the functions of the committee and will be drawn from a variety of relevant sectors. Members may represent PO 00000 Frm 00023 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 60395 farmers, ranchers, and rural communities (can include large, small, crop, livestock, commodity, and specialty producers from various regions)—and their allied industries (farm groups, rural suppliers, marketers, processors, etc.); as well as the academic/research community who research environmental issues impacting agriculture, tribal agriculture groups, state, local, and tribal government, and environmental/ conservation and other nongovernmental organizations. Individuals are generally appointed to serve on the FRRCC as ‘‘Representative’’ members and are thus expected to represent the points of view of a particular group (e.g., an industry sector), rather than provide independent judgment and expertise. Other Federal agencies and other sectors as appropriate may be invited to attend or provide presentations at committee meetings as non-members. 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. Per an October 31, 2017 EPA Directive, ‘‘Strengthening and Improving Membership on EPA Federal Advisory Committees,’’ members of EPA Federal advisory committees cannot concurrently receive EPA grants, either as principal investigator or coinvestigator, or be in a position that otherwise would reap substantial direct benefit from an EPA grant. This principal does not apply to state, tribal, or local government agency recipients of EPA grants. In selecting committee members, EPA will consider each candidate’s qualifications including, but not limited to, on whether the candidate is: • Is actively engaged in farming. • Occupies a senior position within their organization. • Holds leadership positions in agrelated organizations, businesses and/or workgroups. • Has broad agricultural experience regardless of their current position. • Has experience working on issues where building consensus is necessary. • Has membership in professional societies, broad-based networks or the equivalent. • Has extensive experience in the environmental field dealing with agricultural issues. • Provides services to producers. • Is involved in processing, retailing, manufacturing and distribution of agricultural products.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Information on PFAS and Systematic Review Protocols

    Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a large class of 
man-made chemicals widely used in consumer products and industrial 
processes. The basic structure of PFAS consists of a carbon chain 
surrounded by fluorine atoms, with different chemicals possessing 
different end groups. The five toxicity assessments being developed 
according to the scope and methods outlined in this protocol build upon 
several other PFAS assessments that have already been developed, and 
represent only one component of the broader PFAS action plan underway 
at the U.S. EPA (https://www.epa.gov/pfas/epas-pfas-action-plan).
    This protocol document presents the methods for conducting the 
systematic reviews and dose response analyses for assessments of 
perfluorodecanoic acid (PFDA), perfluorononanoic acid (PFNA), 
perfluorohexanoic acid (PFHxA), perfluorohexanesulfonate (PFHxS), and 
perfluorobutanoic acid (PFBA). This includes a summary of why these 
specific PFAS chemicals were prioritized for evaluation, description of 
the objectives and specific aims of the assessments, draft PECO

identification of key areas of scientific complexity. Public input 
received on the protocol is considered during preparation of the draft 
assessments and any adjustments made to the protocol will be reflected 
in an updated version released in conjunction with the draft 
assessments.
