well as any updates concerning the meetings announced in this document,

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. Code 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 SAB CCL 6 DWC will hold five public meetings to receive a briefing
[[Page 31714]]
from EPA, review the draft contaminant candidate list, review, discuss,
and prepare responses to charge questions, and discuss the draft
responses on the EPA's draft CCL 6.
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 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 listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section; preferably via email, by June 8, 2026, for
the June 15, 2026 meeting, by June 22, 2026, for the June 29-July 1,
2026, meetings, and by August 19, 2026, for the August 26, 2026,
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 June 8, 2026, for
consideration at the June 15, 2026, meeting, by June 22, 2026, for
consideration at the June 29-July 1, 2026 meetings, and by August 19,
2026, for consideration at the August 26, 2026, meeting. Written
statements should be supplied by email to the DFO listed in the FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section. Submitters are requested to
provide an unsigned version of each document because the SAB Branch
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 listed in the FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section; at least ten business days before
the meetings, to give the EPA as much time as possible to process your
request.
Meeting cancellation: The July 1, 2026, meeting may be canceled if
the CCL 6 DWC concludes its business on June 30, 2026. If the July 1,
2026, meeting is canceled, notice will be posted on the SAB website at
<a href="https://sab.epa.gov">https://sab.epa.gov</a>.
V. Khanna Johnston,
Acting Director, Federal and Science Advisory Committee Division.
