SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background: The SAB was
established pursuant to the
Environmental Research, Development,
and Demonstration Authorization Act
(ERDDAA), codified at 42 U.S.C. 4365,
to provide independent scientific and
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 262001
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
meetings, to give the EPA as much time
as possible to process your request.

Plaintiffs filed a complaint in the
United States District Court for the
District of Columbia alleging that the
EPA’s failure to issue final Federal plans
implementing emissions guidelines for
CISWI and OSWI facilities in states
which had not submitted approvable
state plans constituted ‘‘agency action
unreasonably delayed’’ within the
meaning of section 304(a)(2) of the
Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7604(a).
EPA promulgated revised CISWI
emission guidelines for existing
facilities at 40 CFR subpart DDDD in
2011 and further revised them in
February 2013, June 2016, and April
2019. EPA proposed a Federal plan for
existing CISWI facilities in 2017, and to
date, EPA has not promulgated a final
Federal plan implementing CISWI
standards under 42 U.S.C. 7429(b)(3).
EPA promulgated emission guidelines
for existing OSWI facilities in December
2005 at 40 CFR subpart FFFF. To date,
EPA has not finalized a Federal plan
implementing standards for existing
OSWI facilities under 42 U.S.C.
7429(b)(3).
Under the terms of the consent
decree, with respect to the CISWI
emission guidelines at 40 CFR subpart
DDDD, no later than September 16,
2024, the appropriate EPA official
would be required to sign a final rule
establishing a Federal plan under 42
U.S.C. 7429(b)(3) for existing CISWI
facilities located in any state which has
not submitted an approvable state plan.
Under the terms of the consent
decree, with respect to the OSWI
emission guidelines at 40 CFR subpart
FFFF, (1) no later than June 30, 2026,
the appropriate EPA official would be
required to sign a proposed rulemaking
proposing a Federal plan under 42
U.S.C. 7429(b)(3) for existing OSWI
facilities located in any state which has
not submitted an approvable state plan;
and (2) no later than June 30, 2027, the
appropriate EPA official would be
required to sign a final rule establishing
a Federal plan under 42 U.S.C.
7429(b)(3) for existing OSWI facilities
located in any state which has not
submitted an approvable state plan.
In accordance with section 113(g) of
the CAA, for a period of thirty (30) days
following the date of publication of this
notice, the Agency will accept written
comments relating to the proposed
consent decree. EPA or the Department
of Justice may withdraw or withhold
consent to the proposed consent decree
if the comments disclose facts or
considerations that indicate that such
consent is inappropriate, improper,

EPA promulgated revised CISWI emission guidelines for existing

February 2013, June 2016, and April 2019. EPA proposed a Federal plan
for existing CISWI facilities in 2017, and to date, EPA has not

U.S.C. 7429(b)(3).
EPA promulgated emission guidelines for existing OSWI facilities in
December 2005 at 40 CFR subpart FFFF. To date, EPA has not finalized a
Federal plan implementing standards for existing OSWI facilities under

Under the terms of the consent decree, with respect to the CISWI
emission guidelines at 40 CFR subpart DDDD, no later than September 16,
2024, the appropriate EPA official would be required to sign a final
rule establishing a Federal plan under 42 U.S.C. 7429(b)(3) for
existing CISWI facilities located in any state which has not submitted
an approvable state plan.
Under the terms of the consent decree, with respect to the OSWI
emission guidelines at 40 CFR subpart FFFF, (1) no later than June 30,
2026, the appropriate EPA official would be required to sign a proposed
rulemaking proposing a Federal plan under 42 U.S.C. 7429(b)(3) for
existing OSWI facilities located in any state which has not submitted
an approvable state plan; and (2) no later than June 30, 2027, the

0166, via https://www.regulations.gov. Once submitted, comments cannot
be edited or removed from this docket. The EPA may publish any comment
received to its public docket. Do not submit to EPA's docket at https://www.regulations.gov any information you consider to be Confidential
Business Information (CBI) or other information whose disclosure is
restricted by statute. Multimedia submissions (audio, video, etc.) must
be accompanied by a written comment. The written comment is considered
the official comment and should include discussion of all points you
wish to make. The EPA will generally not consider comments or comment
contents located outside of the primary submission (i.e., on the web,
cloud, or other file sharing system). For additional submission
methods, the full EPA public comment policy, information about CBI or
multimedia submissions, and general guidance on making effective
comments, please visit https://www.epa.gov/dockets/commenting-epa-dockets. For additional information about submitting information
identified as CBI, please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section of this document. Note that written
comments containing CBI and submitted by mail may be delayed and
deliveries or couriers will be received by scheduled appointment only.
If you submit an electronic comment, EPA recommends that you
include your name, mailing address, and an email address or other
contact information in the body of your comment. This ensures that you
can be identified as the submitter of the comment and allows EPA to
contact you in case EPA cannot read your comment due to technical
difficulties or needs further information on the substance of your
comment. Any identifying or contact information provided in the body of
a comment will be included as part of the comment that is placed in the
official public docket and made available in EPA's electronic public
docket. If EPA cannot read your comment due to technical difficulties
and cannot contact you for clarification, EPA may not be able to
consider your comment.
Use of the https://www.regulations.gov website to submit comments
to EPA electronically is

EPA's preferred method for receiving comments. The electronic public
docket system is an ``anonymous access'' system, which means EPA will
not know your identity, email address, or other contact information
unless you provide it in the body of your comment.
Please ensure that your comments are submitted within the specified
comment period. Comments received after the close of the comment period
will be marked ``late.'' EPA is not required to consider these late
comments.
Gautam Srinivasan,
Associate General Counsel.
