SAB, as well as any updates concerning the meetings announced in this
notice can be found on the SAB website at <a href="https://sab.epa.gov">https://sab.epa.gov</a>.
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
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. app. 2. 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 Hexavalent Chromium Review Panel will hold a
virtual public meeting(s) to discuss the panel's draft report regarding
the EPA's draft IRIS Toxicological Review of Hexavalent Chromium.
Availability of Meeting Materials: All meeting materials, including
the agenda will be available on the SAB web page at <a href="https://sab.epa.gov">https://sab.epa.gov</a>.
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
instructions 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. 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 above
in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT, by July 10, 2023, to be placed
on the list of registered speakers for the July 19, 2023.
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 July 10, 2023, for
consideration at the July 19, 2023, meeting. Written statements should
be supplied to the DFO at the contact information above via email.
Submitters are requested to provide a signed and 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 explicit permission of the copyright holder.
Accessibility: For information on access or services for
individuals with
[[Page 35873]]
disabilities, please contact the DFO, at the contact information noted
above, preferably at least ten days prior to the meeting(s), to give
the EPA as much time as possible to process your request.
Meeting cancellation: The July 27, 2023, meeting date is tentative
and may be canceled if the panel is able to complete its deliberations
on July 19, 2023. If the July 27, 2023, meeting is canceled, notice
will be posted on the SAB website.
V. Khanna Johnston,
Deputy Director, Science Advisory Board Staff Office.
