Renewal

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice; Re-establishment of Children's Health Protection 
Advisory Committee.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is publishing this 
notice to announce that it is re-establishing the Children's Health 
Protection Advisory Committee (CHPAC).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Nica Louie, Designated Federal Officer 
(DFO), Office of Children's Health Protection, Environmental Protection 
Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, (MC 1107A), Washington, DC 20460; 
telephone number: 202-564-7633; email address: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The CHPAC is being re-established in 
accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) of 1972 (5 
U.S.C., Appendix, as amended) and 41 CFR 102-3.50(d). CHPAC will 
provide policy advice, information and recommendations to assist EPA in 
the development of regulations, guidance and policies to address 
children's environmental health.

[[Page 49293]]

    The major objectives will be to provide policy advice and 
recommendations on:
    a. Policy issues associated with regulations, economics, and 
outreach/communications to address prevention of adverse health effects 
to children, and improve the breadth and depth of analyses related to 
these efforts;
    b. Critical policy and technical issues relating to children's 
health.
    EPA has determined that this federal advisory committee is in the 
public interest and will assist the EPA in performing its duties and 
responsibilities. Copies of the CHPAC's charter will be filed with the 
appropriate congressional committees and the Library of Congress.
    The CHPAC expects to meet in person or by electronic means (e.g., 
telephone, videoconference, webcast, etc.) approximately two (2) times 
per year, or as needed and approved by the DFO. Meetings will be held 
in Washington, DC.
    Membership: CHPAC will be composed of approximately eighteen to 
twenty-four (18-24) members who will generally serve as representatives 
of non-Federal interests. Nominations for membership will be solicited 
through the Federal Register and other sources. In selecting members, 
EPA will consider candidates representing a broad range of interests 
relating to children's health, including but not limited to, specific 
organizations, associations, or classes of individuals, Federal, State, 
local and Tribal governments, the regulated community, public interest 
groups, health care organizations and academic institutions. In 
selecting members, EPA will consider the differing perspectives and 
breadth of collective experience needed to address EPA's charge.

    Dated: September 13, 2019.

Director, Office of Children's Health Protection.
