A recent Federal Register notice announced that the US Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) Science Advisory Board (SAB) Staff Office requests public nominations of scientific experts to form a Science Advisory Panel (SAP) to review the draft US EPA report entitled “Screening Methodologies to Support Risk and Technology Reviews.” This draft report describes newly developed screening methods designed to assess the risk to public health and the environment that would remain after stationary sources of hazardous air pollutants come into compliance with the US EPA's Maximum Available Control Technologies (MACT) standards. The SAB Staff Office is seeking nominations of nationally and internationally recognized scientists with demonstrated expertise in the following disciplines: human health risk assessment, ecological risk assessment, exposure assessment, toxicology, ecology, aquatic toxicology, air toxics, and dispersion modeling.
Additional information about this advisory activity is available on the SAB website. Questions regarding this advisory activity should be directed to Dr. Suhair Shallal, Designated Federal Officer, SAB Staff Office, by telephone/voice mail at 202.564.2057, by fax at 202.565.2098, or via email at shallal.suhair@epa.gov. General information can be found at the US EPA SAB website. Nominations should be submitted in time to arrive no later than August 30, 2016. US EPA values and welcomes diversity. In an effort to obtain nominations of diverse candidates, US EPA encourages nominations of women and men of all racial and ethnic groups.
