From: Sanzone, Stephanie [mailto:[email protected]] Subject: Request for Assistance - Nominations for Two EPA Scientific Advisory Committees
Dear Colleagues, I am writing to ask your help in identifying a diverse range of qualified candidates to be considered for the appointment to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC) and the EPA Science Advisory Board (SAB). The CASAC and the SAB are chartered federal advisory committees that provide independent, expert advice to the EPA Administrator on a range of science, engineering and economic issues. Each year, the SAB Staff Office publishes a Federal Register Notice announcing opportunities for the public to nominate candidate experts to serve on the CASAC, the SAB, and certain SAB standing committees. On April 6, 2016, the SAB Staff Office published a Federal Register Notice, https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2016-04-06/pdf/2016-07918.pdf, requesting public nominations of candidate experts to serve on the CASAC, the Chartered SAB and the following standing SAB committees: Chemical Assessment Advisory Committee, Drinking Water Committee, Environmental Economics Advisory Committee, Environmental Engineering Committee, and Radiation Advisory Committee. The notice describes the functions of and expertise needed for the CASAC, the Chartered SAB and the five SAB committees. I invite you to nominate candidates for the CASAC and the SAB, and I also encourage you to share this request with others. Nominations to the SAB or the CASAC should be made using the web nomination form under the "Nomination of Experts" category at the bottom of the SAB (www.epa.gov/sab) or CASAC (www.epa.gov/casac) home pages, respectively. Nominations are sought by May 6, 2016. Should you have questions about the nomination process or the broad charge to the CASAC or the SAB, please contact me or Thomas Carpenter (Designated Federal Officer for the SAB) at [email protected] or Aaron Yeow (Designated Federal Officer for the CASAC) at [email protected]. Thank you in advance for your assistance in identifying a diverse set of expert candidates for the CASAC and the SAB. Regards.
