SAB, as well as any updates concerning the meetings announced in this
document, 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. 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 <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
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 in-person 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.
V Khanna Johnston,
Deputy Director, Science Advisory Board Staff Office.
