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 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
instruction below to submit comments.
Oral Statements: In general,
individuals or groups requesting an oral
presentation at a public meeting will be
limited to three minutes. Each person
making an oral statement should
consider providing written comments as
well as their oral statement so that the
points presented orally can be expanded
upon in writing. Persons interested in
providing oral statements should
contact the DFO, in writing (preferably
via email) at the contact information
noted above by February 23, 2022, 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 members,
statements should be submitted to the
DFO by February 23, 2022, for
consideration at the public meeting on
March 2, 2022, and March 7, 2022.
Written statements should be supplied
to the DFO at the contact information
above via email. Submitters are
requested to provide a signed and
unsigned version of each document
because the SAB Staff Office does not
publish documents with signatures on
its websites. Members of the public
should be aware that their personal
contact information, if included in any
written comments, may be posted to the

not be posted without explicit
