EPA Science Advisory Board; Ecological Processes and Effects 
Committee Meeting--Notification of a Change in the Agenda and the 
Request for Public Comment

    Purpose of this Notice--To advise of a change in the agenda for the 
advisory committee meeting advertised in 68 FR 4775, January 30, 2003. 
As noted in that FR Notice, the Ecological Processes and Effects 
Committee (EPEC) of the U.S. EPA Science Advisory Board (SAB) will meet 
on Thursday and Friday, February 13-14, 2003. Although a formal 
Consultation on the EPA Office of Waters' ``Guidelines for Deriving 
Numerical National Water Quality Criteria for the Protection of Aquatic 
Organisms and Their Uses'' was scheduled for that meeting, it has since 
been changed to a briefing. Other agenda items are unchanged and the 
meeting location remains unchanged.
    In the above cited Federal Register notice, we stated that public 
comments (information, analysis or other documentation) will be 
accepted until February 7, 2003 on the EPEC member biosketches for the 
purpose of helping us to ensure a balanced panel for the Consultation 
that was originally planned. Since the Consultation will not take place 
at this time and no advice is being developed or provided by 
individuals on the Panel as a result of receiving briefings, we are no 
longer seeking comments on the biosketches. Any comments received at 
the address listed in the Federal Register notice (through the date of 
the meeting) will be considered in the event that the SAB conducts a 
formal Consultation on this topic in the future.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION: Any member of the public wishing further 
information concerning this meeting, should contact Mr. Lawrence 
Martin, Designated Federal Officer, USEPA Science Advisory Board 
(1400A), Suite 6450, 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 
20460; telephone/voice mail at (202) 564-6497; fax at (202) 501-0582; 
or via e-mail at [email protected]. Information concerning this 
meeting can be found at the following Web site: http://www.epa.gov/sab/panels/epecpubmtg021303.htm.

    Dated: February 7, 2003.
A. Robert Flaak,
Acting Deputy Director, EPA Science Advisory Board Staff Office.
