General information about the SAB, as well as any updates concerning the meeting announced in this notice, may be found on the SAB Web site at: *http://www.epa.gov/sab.* SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The SAB was established by 42 U.S.C. 4365 to provide independent scientific and technical advice, consultation, and recommendations to the EPA Administrator on the technical basis for Agency positions and regulations. The SAB is a Federal advisory committee chartered under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), as amended, 5 U.S.C., App. The SAB will comply with the provisions of FACA and all appropriate SAB Staff Office procedural policies. *Background:*

(a)SAB Quality Review of the Draft Committee Report *Factors Influencing Hypoxia in the Gulf of Mexico.* The Chartered Science Advisory Board will conduct a quality review of the draft report of its Hypoxia Advisory Panel at its meeting on October 3-5, 2007. Specific times will be provided in the meeting agenda that will be placed on the SAB Web site prior to the meeting ( *http://www.epa.gov/sab* ). EPA's Office of Water requested that the SAB develop a report that evaluates the state-of-the-science regarding the causes and extent of hypoxia in the Gulf of Mexico, as well as the scientific basis of possible management options in the Mississippi River Basin. In response to EPA's request, the SAB Staff Office formed the SAB Hypoxia Advisory Panel. That Panel held several meetings to discuss the issue and has now completed its draft report to the EPA Administrator. **Federal Register** notices were published announcing each of the Hypoxia Advisory Panel meetings (see 71 FR 8578-8580; 71 FR 45543-45544; 71 FR 66329-66330; 71 FR 55786-55787; 71 FR 59107 and 71 FR 77743-77744). Background on the Panel and this review is available on the SAB Web site at: *http://www.epa.gov/sab/panels/hypoxia_adv_panel.htm.*

(b)*EPA Strategic Research Directions:* The Agency has asked the Science Advisory Board for advice on the strategic directions for its research program for the next five to fifteen years. This activity complements the annual SAB review of EPA's research budget, and permits a more critical evaluation of research programs than is possible during the research budget review. It will also give EPA additional time to incorporate SAB advice into the longer term research planning process that informs each year's budget preparation activity. The Agency charge asks for advice on the alignment of EPA research and development program directions with the strategic priorities identified by EPA's operating programs and Regional Offices; coordination of research planning within ORD and across EPA; coordination of research planning with environmental science programs of other government agencies; and whether EPA research is positioned to provide critical scientific support to EPA and the nation on emerging issues. The SAB will discuss EPA research program directions with EPA representatives on October 4 and 5, 2007. Specific information on the structure and schedule for these discussions will be provided by the meeting agenda that will be available on the SAB Web site prior to the meeting ( *http://www.epa.gov/sab* ).

(c)*Science in Emergency Response.* The SAB is exploring the use of science in preparing for and responding to environmental disasters. The SAB held a meeting on this topic on December 12-14, 2006 during which non-EPA experts discussed their experiences with disaster preparedness and response (71 FR 67566). The SAB continued its discussions of science in emergency response during its June 19-20, 2007 meeting (see 72 FR 27308). The SAB is currently drafting advisory comments to the Administrator as a result of these discussions. Final discussions of those comments will be held during the SAB meeting on October 3-5, 2007. Specific times will be provided in the meeting agenda that will be placed on the SAB Web site prior to the meeting ( *http://www.epa.gov/sab* ). Additional information is available on the SAB Web Site for the December 2006 meeting at: *http://www.epa.gov/sab/agendas.htm* , and for the June 19-20, 2007 SAB meeting at: *http://www.epa.gov/sab/07agendas/sab_06_19-20_07_agenda.pdf.*

(d)*SAB Quality Review of Review of EPA's Draft Evaluation of the Carcinogenicity of Ethylene Oxide: A Report of the U.S. EPA Science Advisory Board.* The Chartered Science Advisory Board will conduct a quality review of the draft report of its Ethylene Oxide Review Panel on October 3-5, 2007. Specific times will be provided in the meeting agenda that will be placed on the SAB Web Site prior to the meeting ( *http://www.epa.gov/sab* ). EPA's Office of Research and Development

(ORD)requested that the SAB review its draft document entitled *Evaluation of the Carcinogenicity of Ethylene Oxide* that was prepared by the National Center for Environmental Assessment (NCEA). In response to EPA's request, the SAB Staff Office formed the SAB Ethylene Oxide Review Panel. That Panel held several meetings to discuss the issue and has now completed its draft report to the EPA Administrator. **Federal Register** notices were published announcing each of the Ethylene Oxide Review Panel's meetings (see 71 FR 10500, 71 FR 66328, 72 FR 20538). Background on the Panel and this review is available on the SAB Web Site at: *http://www.epa.gov/sab/panels/ethylene_oxide_rev_panel.htm.* *Availability of Meeting Materials:* Materials in support of this meeting will be placed on the SAB Web Site at *http://www.epa.gov/sab* in advance of this meeting. *Procedures for Providing Public Input:* Interested members of the public may submit relevant written or oral information for the SAB to consider during the advisory process. *Oral Statements:* In general, individuals or groups requesting an oral presentation at a public meeting will be limited to five minutes per speaker, with no more than one hour for all speakers.

ACTION: Notice of public comment period on draft Integrated Science Assessment for Oxides of Nitrogen—Health Criteria. SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency

(EPA)is announcing the public comment period for the draft document titled, “Integrated Science Assessment for Oxides of Nitrogen—Health Criteria; First External Review Draft” (EPA/600/R-07/099). The draft document was prepared by the National Center for Environmental Assessment within EPA's Office of Research and Development as part of the Agency's review of the air quality criteria for oxides of nitrogen and the primary (health-based) national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) for nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ). EPA is releasing this draft document solely for the purpose of seeking comment from the public and the Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC). It does not represent and should not be construed to represent any Agency policy, viewpoint, or determination. EPA will consider any public comments submitted in accordance with this notice when revising the document. DATES: The public comment period begins on or about August 31, 2007. Comments must be received on or before October 31, 2007. ADDRESSES: The draft “Integrated Science Assessment for Oxides of Nitrogen; First External Review Draft” will be available primarily via the Internet on the National Center for Environmental Assessment's home page under the Recent Additions and Publications menus at *http://www.epa.gov/ncea* . A limited number of CD-ROM or paper copies will be available. Contact Ms. Emily Lee by phone 919-541-4169, fax 919-541-1818, or e-mail ( *lee.emily@epa.gov* ) to request either of these, and please provide your name, your mailing address, and the draft document title, “Integrated Science Assessment for Oxides of Nitrogen; First External Review Draft” (EPA/600/R-07/099) to facilitate processing of your request. Comments may be submitted electronically via *www.regulations.gov* , by mail, by facsimile, or by hand delivery/courier. Please follow the detailed instructions provided in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section of this notice. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For further information, contact Ms. Emily Lee, NCEA; telephone: 919-541-4169, facsimile: 919-541-1818, or e-mail: *lee.emily@epa.gov* . For technical information, contact Dennis Kotchmar, Ph.D., NCEA; telephone: 919-541-4158; facsimile: 919-541-1818; or e-mail: *kotchmar.dennis@epa.gov* . SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Information About the Document Section 108(a) of the Clean Air Act directs the Administrator to identify certain pollutants which “may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health and welfare” and to issue air quality criteria for them. These air quality criteria are to “accurately reflect the latest scientific knowledge useful in indicating the kind and extent of all identifiable effects on public health or welfare which may be expected from the presence of [a] pollutant in the ambient air, * * *.” Under section 109 of the Act, EPA is then to establish national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) for each pollutant for which EPA has issued criteria. Section 109(d) of the Act subsequently requires periodic review and, if appropriate, revision of existing air quality criteria to reflect advances in scientific knowledge on the effects of the pollutant on public health and welfare. EPA is also to revise the NAAQS, if appropriate, based on the revised air quality criteria. Oxides of nitrogen are one of six principal (or “criteria”) pollutants for which EPA has established air quality criteria and NAAQS. EPA periodically reviews the scientific basis for these standards by preparing an Integrated Science Assessment

(ISA)(formerly called an Air Quality Criteria Document). The ISA and supplementary annexes, in conjunction with additional technical and policy assessments, provide the scientific basis for EPA decisions on the adequacy of a current NAAQS and the appropriateness of new or revised standards. The Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC), an independent science advisory committee established pursuant to section 109 of the Clean Air Act and part of the EPA's Science Advisory Board (SAB), provides independent scientific advice on NAAQS matters, including advice on EPA's draft ISAs. On December 9, 2005 (70 FR 236), EPA formally initiated its current review of the criteria for oxides of nitrogen, requesting the submission of recent scientific information on specified topics. A draft of EPA's “Integrated Plan for Review of the Primary National Ambient Air Quality Standard” was made available in February 2007 for public comment and was discussed by the Clean Air Science Advisory Committee (CASAC) via a publicly accessible teleconference consultation on May 11, 2007 (72 FR 20336). The Plan is being finalized and will be made available on EPA's Web site ( *http://www.epa.gov/ttn/naags/standards/nox/s_nox_cr_pd.html* ). In February 2007 (72 FR 6238), a workshop was held to discuss, with invited scientific experts, initial draft materials prepared in the development of the ISA and supplementary annexes for oxides of nitrogen. The draft “Integrated Science Assessment for Oxides of Nitrogen; First External Review Draft” will be discussed by CASAC at a future public meeting; public comments that have been received prior to the public meeting will be provided to the CASAC review panel. A future **Federal Register** notice will inform the public of the exact date and time of that CASAC meeting. II.

E7-17119 Filed 8-29-07; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6712-01-P FEDERAL MARITIME COMMISSION [Docket No. 07-09] Jamteck International Shipping Inc., and Angella Barnett-Walker—Possible Violations of the Commission's Regulations at 46 CFR Part 515; Order of Investigation and Hearing Jamteck International Shipping Inc. (“Jamteck”) was incorporated in the State of New York on June 24, 2005, and is presently located at 4633 Richardson Avenue in Bronx, New York 10470. Since February 26, 2007, Jamteck has operated as an ocean transportation intermediary (“OTI”) pursuant to FMC License No. 020155N. According to a review of records maintained by the Commission's Bureau of Certification and Licensing (“BCL”), the principals of the firm are identified as Angella Barnett-Walker, its President and Qualifying Individual, and Donald Barnett, its Vice President. Jamteck filed its Form FMC-18 with the Commission on March 27, 2006. In response to questions on the application regarding her employment history as Qualifying Individual, Ms. Barnett-Walker claimed to have worked for two employers over a period of four

(4)years from 2000 through 2004. It has come to the attention of the Commission that Ms. Barnett-Walker appears to have misrepresented her OTI experience on Jamteck's license application. Information provided by representatives of both employers indicates that Ms. Barnett-Walker does not have three

(3)years of OTI experience as required by the Commission's regulations at 46 CFR 515.11(a). In addition to a lack of the requisite OTI experience of three

(3)years, it appears that, in applying for its OTI license, Jamteck and Ms. Barnett-Walker made materially false or misleading statements to the Commission with regard to Ms. Barnett-Walker's previous OTI experience and subsequently failed to correct such omissions. Section 19 of the Shipping Act of 1984 (“1984 Act”), 46 U.S.C. 40901(a), provides that any person in the United States acting as an OTI 1 must hold a license issued by the Commission. The Commission's regulations at 46 CFR 515.11(a) state that, to be eligible for a license, an applicant must demonstrate that “[i]t possesses the necessary experience, that is, its qualifying individual has a minimum of three

(3)years experience in ocean transportation intermediary activities in the United States, and the necessary character to render ocean transportation intermediary services.” 1 According to section 3(17) of the 1984 Act, 46 U.S.C. 40102, an ocean transportation intermediary is defined as either a freight forwarder or a non-vessel-operating common carrier. Section 19(c) of the 1984 Act, 46 U.S.C. 40903, further provides that the Commission: shall, after notice and hearing, suspend or revoke a license if it finds that the ocean transportation intermediary is not qualified to render intermediary services or that it willfully failed to comply with a provision of this Act or with a lawful order, rule, or regulation of the Commission. The Commission's implementing regulations at 46 CFR Part 515 provide that a license may be revoked or suspended for any of the following reasons:

(1)Violation of any provision of the Act, or any other statute or Commission order or regulation related to carrying on the business of an ocean transportation intermediary;

(2)Failure to respond to any lawful order or inquiry by the Commission;

(3)Making a materially false or misleading statement to the Commission in connection with an application for a license or an amendment to an existing licensed;

(4)Where the Commission determines that the licensee is not qualified to render intermediary services; or

(5)Failure to honor the licensee's financial obligations to the Commission. 46 CFR 515.16(a). These latter regulatory provisions largely iterate the obligation imposed by the statute that each applicant for a license must initially be qualified by “experience and character” in order to act as an ocean transportation intermediary, and must continuously maintain such qualifications of integrity, good character, technical OTI expertise and financial responsibility thereafter as a condition of license retention. *Now therefore, it is ordered* , that pursuant to sections 11 and 19 of the 1984 Act, 46 U.S.C. 41301(a)-41307 and 40901(a), an investigation is instituted to determine:

(1)Whether Jamteck International Shipping Inc. and Angella Barnett-Walker violated the Commission's regulations at 46 CFR Part 515 by submitting materially false or misleading information to the Commission on the OTI license application of Jamteck International Shipping Inc., and whether such licensee is qualified to render licensed OTI services;

(2)whether the Ocean Transportation Intermediary license, No. 020155N, of Jamteck International Shipping Inc. should be suspended or revoked pursuant to section 19 of the 1984 Act; and

(3)whether, in the event violations are found, appropriate cease and desist orders should be issued against Jamteck International Shipping Inc. and Angella Barnett-Walker. *It is further ordered* , that a public hearing be held in this proceeding and that this matter be assigned for hearing before an Administrative Law Judge of the Commission's Office of Administrative Law Judges at a date and place to be hereafter determined by the Administrative Law Judge in compliance with Rule 61 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, 46 CFR 502.61. The hearing shall include oral testimony and cross-examination in the discretion of the presiding Administrative Law Judge only after consideration has been given by the parties and the presiding Administrative Law Judge to the use of alternative forms of dispute resolution, and upon a proper showing that there are genuine issues of material fact that cannot be resolved on the basis of sworn statements, affidavits, depositions, or other documents or that the nature of the matters in issue is such that an oral hearing and cross-examination are necessary for the development of an adequate record; *It is further ordered* , that Jamteck International Shipping Inc. and Angella Barnett-Walker are designated as Respondents in this proceeding; *It is further ordered* , that the Commission's Bureau of Enforcement is designated a party to this proceeding; *It is further ordered* , that notice of this Order be published in the **Federal Register** , and a copy be served on the parties of record; *It is further ordered* , that other persons having an interest in participating in this proceeding may file petitions for leave to intervene in accordance with Rule 72 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, 46 CFR 502.72; *It is further ordered* , that all further notices, orders, and/or decisions issued by or on behalf of the Commission in this proceeding, including notice of the time and place of hearing or prehearing conference, shall be served on parties of record; *It is further ordered* , that all documents submitted by any party of record in this proceeding shall be directed to the Secretary, Federal Maritime Commission, Washington, DC 20573, in accordance with Rule 118 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, 46 CFR 502.118, and shall be served on parties of record; and *It is further ordered* , that in accordance with Rule 61 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, the initial decision of the Administrative Law Judge shall be issued by August 25, 2008, and the final decision of the Commission shall be issued by December 22, 2008.

E7-17192 Filed 8-29-07; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6210-01-S GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION Office of Small Business Utilization; Small Business Advisory Committee Renewal of the Small Business Advisory Committee AGENCY: Office of Small Business Utilization, GSA. ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: Under the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act of 1972, (5 U.S.C. Appendix, as amended), the Sunshine in the Government Act of 1976 (5 U.S.C. 552b, as amended), and 41 CFR 102-3.65, the U.S. General Services Administration gives notice that it intends to renew the Small Business Advisory Committee (SBAC), as a discretionary Federal advisory committee. The Office of Small Business Utilization

(OSBU)has responsibility for overseeing the General Services Administration’s

(GSA)best efforts to achieve the small business procurement goals set by the Small Business Administration (SBA). Several procurement preference program goals (HUBZone, Service-Disabled Veteran, Women-Owned) have proven to be difficult for GSA and the Federal government as a whole to reach. Other procurement issues such as subcontracting, size standards, and availability of small manufacturers, impact the government beyond procurement goals. As the Federal government’s primary contracting agency, GSA’s procurement practices and policies to a large extent affect all other Federal agencies. The GSA Small Business Advisory Committee

(SBAC)was established by the OSBU to solicit the ideas and experience of association executives and small business owners in the hopes that their recommendations would serve to make the GSA small business program more effective in the future, and in turn, the entire Federal government’s program. Committee members will represent a cross-section of various socio-economic groups and chambers of commerce. One member will be appointed from a chamber of commerce from each of the following socio-economic groups: African American, Asian American / Pacific Islander, Hispanic, Native American / Alaska Native, Veteran / Service-Disabled Veteran, and Women-owned businesses. Additional members may be selected based on their expertise in government contracting, doing business with the Federal government, and small business knowledge in general. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Aaron Collmann, Room 6029, GSA Building, 1800 F Street, NW., Washington, DC 20405

(202)501-1021 or email at *sbac@gsa.gov* . SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice is published in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act

(FACA)(Pub. L. 92-463). Dated: August 27, 2007 Michael J. Rigas Deputy Associate Administrator,Office of Small Business Utilization,General Services Administration. [FR Doc. 07-4282 Filed 8-28-07; 12:35 pm]
