General information concerning the CASAC or the EPA Science Advisory Board can be found on the EPA Web Site at: https:// www.epa.gov/sab. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background: EPA is in the process of updating, and revising where appropriate, the air quality criteria document (AQCD) for lead. Section 109(d)(1) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) requires that EPA carry out a periodic review and revision, as appropriate, of the air quality criteria and the national PO 00000 Frm 00026 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) for the six ‘‘criteria’’ air pollutants including lead. On December 1, 2005, EPA’s National Center for Environmental Assessment National, Research Triangle Park (NCEA–RTP), within the Agency’s Office of Research and Development (ORD), made available for public review and comment a revised draft document, Air Quality Criteria for Lead (First External Review Draft), Volumes I and II (EPA/600/R–05/ 144aA–bA). This first draft Lead air quality criteria document (AQCD) represents a revision to the previous EPA document, Air Quality Criteria for Lead, EPA–600/8–83/028aF–dF (published in June 1986) and an associated supplement (EPA–600/8–89/ 049F) published in 1990. Under CAA sections 108 and 109, the purpose of the revised AQCD is to provide an assessment of the latest scientific information on the effects of ambient lead on the public health and welfare, for use in EPA’s current review of the NAAQS for lead. Detailed summary information on the revised draft AQCD for lead is contained in a recent EPA Federal Register notice (70 FR 72300, December 2, 2005). EPA is soliciting advice and recommendations from the CASAC by means of a peer review of the first draft Lead AQCD. The CASAC, which is comprised of seven members appointed by the EPA Administrator, was established under section 109(d)(2) of the Clean Air Act (CAA or 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 NAAQS under sections 108 and 109 of the Act. The CASAC is a Federal advisory committee chartered under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), as amended, 5 U.S.C., App. The SAB Staff Office has established a CASAC Lead Review Panel to provide EPA with advice and recommendations concerning lead in ambient air. On September 6, 2005 the SAB Staff Office announced the formation of the CASAC Lead Review Panel in the Federal Register (70 FR 53001) and solicited nominations for experts to supplement the statutory CASAC. The Panel will comply with the provisions of FACA and all appropriate SAB Staff Office procedural policies. This meeting is the CASAC Lead Review Panel’s initial peer review of the first draft Lead AQCD. Technical Contact: Any questions concerning the first draft Lead AQCD should be directed to Dr. Lori White, E:\FR\FM\09FEN1.SGM 09FEN1
