General information concerning the BOSC can be found at the following website: https://www.epa.gov/bosc. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background The BOSC is a chartered Federal Advisory Committee established by the EPA to provide independent scientific and technical peer review, advice, consultation, and recommendations about ORD. As a Federal Advisory Committee, the BOSC conducts business in accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) (5 U.S.C. App. 2) and related regulations. The BOSC is comprised of an Executive Committee and two supporting subcommittee(s): Social and Community Science, and Climate Change. Please visit https:// www.epa.gov/aboutepa/about-officeresearch-and-development-ord to learn more about ORD’s research programs. Members of the BOSC constitute a distinguished body of non-EPA scientists, engineers, and economists who are experts in their respective fields. The chartered BOSC provides scientific advice to the EPA Administrator on a variety of EPA science and research topics. All the work of BOSC standing committees and ad-hoc panels is conducted under the auspices of the chartered BOSC. The chartered BOSC members review all BOSC standing committee and ad-hoc panel draft reports and determine whether each meets the BOSC’s criteria and high-quality standards required to deliver them to the EPA Administrator. The BOSC will evaluate the Office of Research and Development (ORD)’s draft scientific studies supporting the development of transcriptomic-based toxicity values and their use as a new EPA Transcriptomic Assessment Product (ETAP). Draft documents will be provided in the BOSC docket prior to the meeting for an in-depth evaluation of: • Literature review and scientific studies supporting the development of transcriptomic points-of-departure from short-term in vivo studies; • Derivation of transcriptomic toxicity values for chronic toxicity; and • Incorporation of transcriptomic toxicity values into a new standardized assessment product that is intended for data poor chemicals. • Example application of the ETAP to a data poor per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS). The review of the draft documents detailing underlying scientific studies VerDate Sep<11>2014 21:16 Feb 14, 2023 Jkt 259001 and implementation of ETAP by the BOSC is being performed in close coordination with a separate BOSC review of a value-of-information (VOI) analysis comparing the ETAP with traditional human health assessment practices. The VOI analysis is intended to evaluate the public health and economic trade-offs associated with the timeliness, uncertainty, and costs of the different toxicity evaluation and assessment approaches. Expertise Sought The EPA invites nominations of individuals to serve as SGEs with expertise or extensive experience in the following scientific disciplines and topic areas as they relate to human health and the environment: • Human health chemical risk assessment • Toxicology • Biostatistics • Transcriptomics, including dose response modeling of transcriptomic data • Systematic evidence mapping Selection Criteria Nominations will be evaluated on the basis of several criteria including: (a) demonstrated scientific and/or technical credentials and disciplinary expertise, knowledge, and experience in relevant fields; (b) availability to serve and willingness to commit time to the committee (approximately one to three meetings both by teleconferences and possibly face-to-face meetings); (c) absence of financial conflicts of interest; (d) absence of an appearance of a lack of impartiality; (e) demonstrated ability to work constructively and effectively on committees; and (f) background and experiences that would contribute to the diversity of viewpoints on the Executive Committee or Subcommittee, e.g., workforce sector, geographical location, social, cultural, and educational backgrounds, and professional affiliations. Process and Deadline for Submitting Nominations Any interested person or organization may nominate qualified persons to be considered for appointment to the advisory committee. Nominations should be submitted via the BOSC website at: https://www.epa.gov/bosc. Nominations should be submitted no later than March 3, 2023.
