Procedures for Providing Public Input: Public comment for
consideration by
[[Page 13732]]
EPA's federal advisory committees 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 provide independent advice to EPA. Members of the
public may submit comments on matters being considered by the EFAB for
consideration as the Board develops its advice and recommendations to
EPA.
Oral Statements: In general, individuals or groups requesting an
oral presentation at a public meeting will be limited to three minutes
each. Persons interested in providing oral statements at the March 2022
meeting virtually via webcast should register in advance and provide
notification, as noted in the registration confirmation, by March 22,
2022, to be placed on the list of registered speakers.
Written Statements: Written statements should be received by March
22, 2022, so that the information can be made available to the EFAB for
its consideration prior to the meeting. Written statements should be
sent via email to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#a3c6c5c2c1e3c6d3c28dc4ccd5"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="2e4b484f4c6e4b5e4f00494158">[email protected]</span></a>. Members of the public should be aware
that their personal contact information, if included in any written
comments, may be posted to the EFAB website. Copyrighted material will
not be posted without explicit permission of the copyright holder.
Accessibility: For information on access or services for
individuals with disabilities or to request accommodations for a
disability, please register for the meeting and list any special
requirements or accommodations needed on the registration form at least
10 business days prior to the meeting to allow as much time as possible
to process your request.
