contact Dr. Suhair Shallal, Designated Federal Officer (DFO), EPA

Washington, DC 20460; via telephone/voice mail (202) 343-9977; fax 
(202) 233-0643; or e-mail at [email protected]. General 
information concerning the EPA Science Advisory Board can be found on 
the SAB Web site at http://www.epa.gov/sab.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the Federal Advisory Committee 
Act (FACA), 5 U.S.C., App. 2, notice is hereby given that the Exposure 
and Human Health Committee of the EPA Science Advisory Board will hold 
a public meeting to learn about and discuss current initiatives and 
activities within EPA focused on human health risk assessment. The SAB 
was established pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 4365 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 under FACA. The SAB will comply with the provisions 
of FACA and all appropriate SAB Staff Office procedural policies.
    Background: The SAB Exposure and Human Health Committee (EHHC) 
provides advice on the development and use of guidelines for human 
health effects, exposure assessment, and risk assessment. The EPA's 
National Center for Environmental Assessment, Risk Assessment Forum, 
and Office of Pesticide Programs will brief the EHHC on ongoing and 
planned human health risk assessment activities. The briefings will 
serve as background information for the Committee to develop advice on 
the subject areas.
    Availability of Meeting Materials: The agenda and other materials 
in support of the meeting will be placed on the SAB Web site at http://www.epa.gov/sab in advance of the meeting.
    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 EPA. Members of the 
public can submit comments for a federal advisory committee to consider 
as it develops advice for EPA. They should send their comments directly 
to the Designated Federal Officer for the relevant advisory committee. 
Oral Statements: In general, individuals or groups requesting time to 
make an oral presentation at a public SAB meeting will be limited to 
five minutes, with no more than one hour for all speakers. Those 
interested in being placed on the public speakers list should contact 
Dr. Shallal at the contact information provided above by June 24, 2010. 
Written Statements: Written statements should be received in the SAB 
Staff Office by June 24, 2010. Written statements should be supplied to 
the DFO via e-mail to [email protected] (acceptable file format: 
Adobe Acrobat PDF, WordPerfect, MS Word, MS PowerPoint, or Rich Text 
files in IBM-PC/Windows 98/2000/XP format). Submitters are asked to 
provide versions of each document submitted with and without 
signatures, because the SAB Staff Office does not publish documents 
with signatures on its Web sites.
    Accessibility: For information on access or services for 
individuals with disabilities, please contact Dr. Suhair Shallal at 
(202) 343-9977 or [email protected]. To request accommodation of a 
disability, please contact her preferably at least 10 days prior to the 
teleconference, to give EPA as much time as possible to process your 
request.

    Dated: June 7, 2010.
Anthony F. Maciorowski,
Deputy Director, EPA Science Advisory Board Staff Office.
