General Information
A. What should I consider as I prepare
my comments for EPA?
1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this
information to EPA through https://
www.regulations.gov or e-mail. Clearly
mark the part or all of the information
that you claim to be CBI. For CBI
information in a disk or CD ROM that
you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the
disk or CD ROM as CBI and then
identify electronically within the disk or
CD ROM the specific information that is
claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that
includes information claimed as CBI, a
copy of the comment that does not
contain the information claimed as CBI
must be submitted for inclusion in the
public docket. Information so marked
will not be disclosed except in
accordance with procedures set forth in
40 CFR part 2.
2. Tips for Preparing Your Comments.
When submitting comments, remember
to:
• Identify the rulemaking by docket
number and other identifying
information (subject heading, Federal
Register date and page number).
• Follow directions—The Agency
may ask you to respond to specific
questions or organize comments by
referencing a Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) part or section
number.
• Explain why you agree or disagree;
suggest alternatives and substitute
language for your requested changes.
• Describe any assumptions and
provide any technical information and/
or data that you used.
• If you estimate potential costs or
burdens, explain how you arrived at
your estimate in sufficient detail to
allow for it to be reproduced.
• Provide specific examples to
illustrate your concerns, and suggest
alternatives.
• Make sure to submit your
comments by the comment period
deadline identified.
Under section 108(a) of the Clean Air
Act (CAA), the Administrator identifies

and lists certain pollutants which ‘‘cause
or contribute to air pollution which may
reasonably be anticipated to endanger
public health or welfare.’’ The EPA then
issues air quality criteria for listed
pollutants, which are commonly
referred to as ‘‘criteria pollutants.’’ The
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, in varying
quantities.’’ Under section 109 of the
CAA, EPA establishes national ambient
air quality standards (NAAQS) for each
listed pollutant, with the NAAQS based
on the air quality criteria. Section 109(d)
of the CAA requires periodic review
and, if appropriate, revision of existing
air quality criteria. The revised air
quality criteria reflect advances in
scientific knowledge on the effects of
the pollutant on public health or
welfare. The EPA is also required to
periodically review and revise the
NAAQS, if appropriate, based on the
revised criteria.
The EPA is currently conducting a
joint review of the existing secondary
(welfare-based) NAAQS for NOX and
SOX. Because NOX, SOX, and their
associated transformation products are
linked from an atmospheric chemistry
perspective as well as from an
environmental effects perspective, and
because of the National Research
Council’s 2004 recommendations to
consider multiple pollutants in forming
the scientific basis for the NAAQS, EPA
has decided to jointly assess the science,
risks, and policies relevant to protecting
the public welfare associated with NOX
and SOX. This is the first time since
NAAQS were established in 1971 that a
joint review of these two pollutants has
been conducted. Since both the CASAC
and EPA have recognized these
interactions historically, and the science
related to these interactions has
continued to evolve and grow to the
present day, there is a strong basis for
considering them together.
As part of this review of the current
secondary (welfare-based) NAAQS for
NOX and SOX, EPA’s OAQPS staff
prepared a second draft Policy
Assessment. The objective of this
assessment is to evaluate the policy
implications of the key scientific
information contained in the document
Integrated Science Assessment for
Oxides of Nitrogen and SulfurEcological Criteria (https://
cfpub.epa.gov/ncea/cfm/
recordisplay.cfm?deid=201485),
prepared by EPA’s National Center for
Environmental Assessment (NCEA) and

the results from the analyses contained
in the Risk and Exposure Assessment
for Review of the Secondary National
Ambient Air Quality Standards for
Oxides of Nitrogen and Oxides of Sulfur
(https://www.epa.gov/ttn/naaqs/
standards/no2so2sec/cr_rea.html). The
second draft Policy Assessment plus the
supplementary materials are available
online at: https://www.epa.gov/ttn/

This second draft Policy Assessment
was reviewed by the CASAC during a
public meeting which was held on
October 6 and 7, 2010.
