Download as PDF 11630 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 45 / Wednesday, March 9, 2005 / Notices SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background: The CASAC, which comprises seven members appointed by the EPA Administrator, was established under section 109(d)(2) of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7409) as an independent scientific advisory committee, in part to provide advice, information and recommendations on the scientific and technical aspects of issues related to air quality criteria and national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) under sections 108 and 109 of the Act. The CASAC, which is administratively located under the SAB Staff Office, is a Federal advisory committee chartered under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), as amended, 5 U.S.C., App. The CASAC complies with the provisions of FACA and all appropriate SAB Staff Office procedural policies. The Clean Air Act requires periodic update of the Air Quality Criteria Document (AQCD) for Lead. Air quality criteria documents for the ‘‘criteria’’ air pollutants for which national ambient air quality standards are established provide the scientific bases for these NAAQS and are to reflect the latest scientific information useful in indicating the kind and extent of all identifiable effects on public health or welfare that may be expected from the presence of such a criteria air pollutant. The previous version of the AQCD for Lead was completed in 1986, with a Supplement completed in 1990. EPA’s National Center for Environmental Assessment, Research Triangle Park, NC (NCEA–RTP), completed the Project Work Plan for the current revision of the Lead AQCD and released it for public comment in January 2005. EPA has prepared this Project Work Plan for Revised Air Quality Criteria for Lead to communicate the process and timeline for development of a revised AQCD for Lead. Technical Contact: Any questions concerning EPA’s Project Work Plan for Revised Air Quality Criteria for Lead should be directed to Dr. Robert Elias, NCEA–RTP, at phone: (919) 541–4167; or e-mail: elias.robert@epa.gov. Availability of Meeting Materials: NCEA–RTP has posted the draft Project Work Plan for Revised Air Quality Criteria for Lead on the National Center for Environmental Assessment Web site at URL: https://cfpub.epa.gov/ncea/cfm/ recordisplay.cfm?deid=113963. In addition, the SAB Staff Office will post a copy of the final agenda for this teleconference consultative meeting on the SAB Web site at: https:// www.epa.gov/sab (under ‘‘Meeting Agendas’’) in advance of the CASAC teleconference.
