adopted by government agencies for
emergency planning, prevention, or
response programs, such as EPA’s Risk
Management Program under the Clean
Air Act and Amendments Section 112r.
It is possible that other Federal agencies
besides EPA, as well as State agencies
and private organizations, may adopt
the AEGL values for their programs. As
such, the Agency has not attempted to
describe all the specific entities that
may be affected by this action. If you
have any questions regarding the
applicability of this action to a
particular entity, consult the DFO listed
under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT.

PO 00000 Frm 00026 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\14NON1.SGM
log. Visitors to the EPA/DC Public
Reading Room will be provided with an
EPA/DC badge that must be visible at all
times while in the EPA Building and
returned to the guard upon departure. In
addition, security personnel will escort
visitors to and from the new EPA/DC

Committee will be open to the public.
Oral presentations or statements by
interested parties will be limited to 10
minutes. Interested parties are
encouraged to contact the DFO to
schedule presentations before the NAC/

the DFO at the earliest possible date to
ensure adequate seating arrangements.
Inquiries regarding oral presentations
and the submission of written
statements or chemical-specific
information should be directed to the

III. Future Meetings
Another meeting of the NAC/AEGL
Committee is scheduled for March 2007.
In order to provide some advance notice
of future chemicals for AEGL
development, this notice provides
names of those chemicals that at the
present time are most likely to be
addressed, although these priorities may
change before the March 2007 meeting
date. A subsequent Federal Register
notice for that meeting will provide the
final list of chemicals for AEGL
development to be included in that
future meeting. The chemicals are as
follows: Allyl chloride; boron
tribromide; bromine chloride; diketene;
ethylene fluorohydrin; osmium
tetroxide; pentaborane; silicon
tetrachloride; silicon tetrafluoride;

Notification of Two Public
Teleconferences of the Science
Advisory Board
AGENCY: Environmental Protection
Agency.
ACTION: Notice.
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) Science Advisory Board
(SAB) Staff Office announces a
consultation via two public
teleconferences to provide input on the
Agency’s proposed Risk and Technology
Review (RTR) assessment methodology.
DATES: The SAB will hold two public
teleconferences on December 7, 2006
and December 19, 2006. Each
teleconference will begin at 1 p.m. and
end at 5 p.m. (Eastern Time).
Location: Telephone conference call
only.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Any
member of the public wishing to obtain
general information concerning this
public teleconference or should contact
Dr. Sue Shallal, Designated Federal
Officer (DFO), EPA Science Advisory
Board (1400F), U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania
Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20460;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant
to the Federal Advisory Committee Act,
Public Law 92–463, notice is hereby
given that the EPA SAB will hold a
consultation via public teleconference
to provide input on EPA’s proposed
RTR risk assessment methodology. The
SAB was established by 42 U.S.C. 4365
sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES
to provide independent scientific and
technical advice to the Administrator on
the technical basis for Agency positions
and regulations. The SAB is a Federal
Advisory Committee chartered under
VerDate Aug<31>2005 19:07 Nov 13, 2006 Jkt 211001
the Federal Advisory Committee Act
(FACA), as amended, 5 U.S.C., App. The
SAB will comply with the provisions of
FACA and all appropriate SAB Staff
Office procedural policies.
Background: Section 112(f)(2) of the
CAA requires EPA to determine, for
each section 112(d) source category, if
the promulgation of additional
standards is required to provide an
‘‘ample margin of safety to protect
public health’’. EPA also has the
discretion to impose a more stringent
emissions standard to prevent adverse
environmental effect if such action is
justified in light of costs, energy, safety,
and other relevant factors. EPA is
proposing a risk assessment
methodology aimed at satisfying these
obligations in a streamlined and
efficient manner.
EPA’s Office of Air and Radiation
(OAR) has requested that the Science
Advisory Board (SAB) review its
proposed Risk and Technology Review
(RTR) Assessment plan. As a part of the
technical basis for rulemaking in the
EPA’s RTR effort, EPA seeks input on
whether its proposed assessment plan
(emission data; dispersion and exposure
modeling; risk characterization) is
adequate to provide the basis for
regulatory decisions concerning specific
source categories. In sum, EPA is using
a new approach to perform an
assessment with the goal of
characterizing the exposures and risks
associated with the emissions of
hazardous air pollutants (HAP) from
approximately 30 different industrial
source categories. These categories have
previously been subjected to national
emission standards, and the purpose of
characterizing their risks now is to
determine whether those emission
standards (which were based on
emission control technologies, work
practices and other control measures
available at the time they were
promulgated) are adequate to protect
public health with an adequate margin
of safety and prevent adverse
environmental effects.
In response to OAR’s request, the SAB
is convening an Ad Hoc consultative
panel comprised of members of the SAB
and its committees to provide advice on
the proposed plan. The purpose of the
first public teleconference is to receive
a briefing on the proposed plan and to
clarify the charge to the panel. During
the second teleconference, the panel
will provide input and comments on the
proposed assessment plan.
Availability of Materials: The draft
agendas and other materials will be
posted on the SAB Web site at: http://
www.epa.gov/sab prior to each
teleconference. For questions and
PO 00000 Frm 00027 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703
information concerning the Agency’s
proposed plan, please contact Dr. Dave
Guinnup, at (919) 541–5368, or
guinnup.dave@epa.gov.
Procedures for Providing Public Input:
Interested members of the public may
submit relevant written or oral
information for the SAB to consider
during the public teleconference and/or
meeting. Oral Statements: In general,
individuals or groups requesting an oral
presentation at a public SAB
teleconference will be limited to three
minutes per speaker, with no more than
a total of one-half hour for all speakers.
To be placed on the public speaker list,
interested parties should contact Dr. Sue
Shallal, DFO, in writing (preferably via
e-mail), by November 30, 2006 for the
first teleconference and by December 12,
2006 for the second teleconference, at
the contact information noted above.
Written Statements: Written statements
should be received in the SAB Staff
Office in accordance with the dates
mentioned above so that the information
may be made available to the SAB for
their consideration prior to each
teleconference. Written statements
should be supplied to the DFO in the
following formats: One hard copy with
original signature, and one electronic
copy via e-mail (acceptable file format:
Adobe Acrobat PDF, WordPerfect, MS
Word, MS PowerPoint, or Rich Text
files in IBM-PC/Windows 98/2000/XP
format).
Accessibility: For information on
access or services for individuals with
disabilities, please contact Dr. Sue
Shallal at (202) 343–9977 or
shallal.suhair@epa.gov. To request
accommodation of a disability, please
contact Dr. Shallal preferably at least ten
days prior to the teleconference, to give
EPA as much time as possible to process
your request.
