technical advice to the EPA
Administrator on the scientific and
technical basis for agency positions and
regulations. The SAB is a Federal
Advisory Committee chartered under
the Federal Advisory Committee Act
(FACA), 5 U.S.C. 10. 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 Science Advisory Board
Radionuclide Cancer Risk Coefficients
Review Panel will hold two public
meetings to review and discuss charge
questions, listen to agency
presentations, listen to public comments
and peer review the EPA’s draft Cancer
Risk Coefficients for Environmental
Exposure to Radionuclides (Federal
Guidance Report No. 16).
Availability of meeting materials: All
meeting materials, including the agenda,
will be available on the SAB web page
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 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 comments should follow the
instruction below to submit comments.
Oral statements: In general,
individuals or groups requesting an oral
presentation at a meeting conducted
virtually will be limited to three
minutes, and individuals or groups
requesting an oral presentation at an inperson meeting will be limited to five
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 under FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT, by April
18, 2024, for the April 25, 2024 meeting
and by May 22, 2024, for the May 29–

31, 2024 meeting, 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 April 18, 2024, for
consideration at the April 25, 2024
meeting and May 22, 2024, for
consideration at the May 29–31, 2024
meeting. Written statements should be
supplied to the DFO at the contact
information above via email. Submitters
are requested to provide an 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 SAB
website. Copyrighted material will not
be posted without the explicit
permission of the copyright holder.
Accessibility: For information on
access or services for individuals with
disabilities, please contact the DFO, at
the contact information noted above,
preferably at least ten days before the

as possible to process your request.
