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 Inorganic Arsenic Review Panel will hold
three public meetings to discuss the panel's draft report regarding the
EPA's draft IRIS Toxicological Review of Inorganic Arsenic.
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. 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 July 1, 2024, to be placed on the
list of registered speakers for the July 8, 2024 meeting.
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 1, 2024, for
consideration at the July 8, 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.
Meeting Cancellation: The July 22, 2024 meeting is tentative and
may be canceled if the panel is able to complete its deliberations on
July 16, 2024. If the July 22, 2024 meeting is canceled, notice will be
posted on the SAB website.
V Khanna Johnston,
Deputy Director, Science Advisory Board Staff Office.
