Nominees who represent states should have comprehensive knowledge of state programs that use manifest data. Nominees who represent industry should be familiar with e-Manifest and have strong knowledge of existing industry systems/devices/approaches and business operations to provide valuable input on e-Manifest integration into current industry data systems. IT nominees should have core competencies and experience in largescale systems and application development, integration, and implementation. This may include competency and experience with: Managing complex systems used by multiple user communities; ensuring data availability, integrity, and quality; user help desk and support; as well as expertise relevant to the complexities of an electronic manifest system. Examples of this expertise may include, but are not limited to: Expertise with web-based and mobile technologies, particularly those that support large scale operations for geographically diverse users; expertise in IT security, including perspective on federal IT security requirements; expertise in electronic signature and user management approaches; expertise with scalable hosting solutions such as cloud-based hosting; and expertise in user experience. Existing knowledge of, or willingness to gain an understanding of, EPA shared services and enterprise architecture is a plus. Another plus for any nominee is experience in setting and/or managing fee-based systems in general. Additional criteria used to evaluate nominees will include: • Excellent interpersonal, oral, and written communication skills; • Demonstrated experience developing group recommendations; • Willingness to commit time to the Board and demonstrated ability to work constructively on committees; • Absence of financial conflicts of interest; • Impartiality (including avoiding the appearance of a loss of impartiality); and • Background and experiences that would help contribute to the diversity of perspectives on the Board, e.g., geographic, economic, social, cultural, educational backgrounds, professional affiliations, and other considerations. Nominations must include a resume, which provides the nominee’s background, experience, and educational qualifications, as well as a brief statement (one page or less) VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:24 Dec 13, 2021 Jkt 256001 describing the nominee’s interest in serving on the Board and addressing the other criteria previously described. Nominees are encouraged to provide any additional information that they feel would be useful for consideration, such as: Availability to participate as a member of the Board; how the nominee’s background, skills, and experience would contribute to the diversity of the Board; and any concerns the nominee has regarding membership. Nominees should be identified by name, occupation, position, current business address, email, and telephone number. Interested candidates may selfnominate. The agency will acknowledge receipt of nominations. Persons selected for membership will receive compensation for travel and a nominal daily compensation (if appropriate) while attending meetings in person. Additionally, candidates selected to serve as Information Technology (IT) ‘‘Expert’’ Members will be designated as Special Government Employees (SGEs) or consultants. Candidates designated as SGEs will be required to fill out the ‘‘Confidential Financial Disclosure Form for Environmental Protection Agency Special Government Employees’’ (EPA Form 3310–48). This confidential form provides information to the EPA ethics officials to determine whether there is a conflict between the SGE’s public duties and their private interests, including an appearance of a loss of impartiality as defined by federal laws and regulations. One example of a potential conflict of interest may be for IT professional(s) serving in an organization which is awarded any related e-Manifest system development contract(s).
