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– PO 00000 Frm 00038 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 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.

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

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

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

an approvable state plan; and (2) no later than June 30, 2027, the
