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 per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) Review Panel (PFAS Review Panel) will hold four public meetings to review and provide comments on the (1) the health effects data to inform the derivation of proposed Maximum Contaminant Level Goals (MCLG) for PFOA and PFOS; (2) the analysis of health risk reduction benefits of potential decreases in drinking water concentrations of PFOA and PFOS and (3) approaches to assess the cumulative risk among mixtures of PFAS. Technical Contacts: Any technical questions concerning EPA’s document titled, ‘‘Proposed Approaches to the Derivation of a Draft Maximum Contaminant Level Goal for PO 00000 Frm 00019 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Perfluorooctanoic Acid in Drinking Water’’ and ‘‘Proposed Approaches to the Derivation of a Draft Maximum Contaminant Level Goal for Perfluorooctanesulfonic Acid in Drinking Water’’ should be directed to Brittany Jacobs at jacobs.brittany@ epa.gov. Any technical questions concerning EPA’s document titled, ‘‘Analysis of Cardiovascular Disease Risk Reduction as a Result of Reduced PFOA and PFOS Exposure in Drinking Water’’ should be directed to Morgan McCabe at mccabe.morgan@epa.gov.

Availability of Meeting Materials: Prior to the meetings, the agenda and other meeting materials for each meeting will be placed on the SAB website at https://sab.epa.gov. 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 committee’s charge or meeting materials. Input from the public to the SAB PFAS Review Panel will have the most impact if it provides specific scientific or technical information or analysis for the SAB PFAS Review Panel 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 at a public meeting will be limited to three minutes. Persons interested in providing oral statements on December 16, 2021, should contact Dr. Sue Shallal, DFO, via email at the contact information noted above by December 9, 2021, to be placed on the list of registered speakers. Written Statements: Written statements will be accepted throughout the advisory process; however, for timely consideration by SAB RFT Review Panel members, statements should be received in the SAB Staff E:\FR\FM\10NON1.SGM 10NON1

    Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, the EPA is soliciting 
comments and information to enable it to: (i) Evaluate whether the 
proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper

information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions 
used; (iii) enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and (iv) minimize the burden of the 
collection of information on those who are to respond, including 
through the use of appropriate automated electronic, mechanical, or
