Public
comments
will
be
accepted
for
21
calendar
days
on
the
Short
List.
During
this
comment
period,
the
public
will
be
requested
to
provide
information,
analysis
or
other
documentation
on
nominees
that
the
SAB
Staff
should
consider
in
evaluating
candidates
for
Panel.
For
the
EPA
SAB,
a
balanced
review
panel
(
i.
e.,
committee,
subcommittee,
or
panel)
is
characterized
by
inclusion
of
candidates
who
possess
the
necessary
domains
of
knowledge,
the
relevant
scientific
perspectives
(
which,
among
other
factors,
can
be
influenced
by
work
history
and
affiliation),
and
the
collective
breadth
of
experience
to
adequately
address
the
charge.
Public
responses
to
the
Short
List
candidates
will
be
considered
in
the
selection
of
the
panel,
along
with
information
provided
by
candidates
and
information
gathered
by
EPA
SAB
Staff
independently
on
the
background
of
each
candidate
(
e.
g.,
financial
disclosure
information
and
computer
searches
to
evaluate
a
nominee's
prior
involvement
with
the
topic
under
review).
Specific
criteria
to
be
used
in
evaluating
an
individual
subcommittee
member
include:
(
a)
Scientific
and/
or
technical
expertise,
knowledge,
and
experience
(
primary
factors);
(
b)
absence
of
financial
conflicts
of
interest;
(
c)
scientific
credibility
and
impartiality;
(
d)
availability
and
willingness
to
serve;
and
(
e)
ability
to
work
constructively
and
effectively
in
committees.

will
also
be

out
the
