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 criteria. Ozone is one of six ‘‘criteria’’ pollutants for which EPA has established air quality criteria and NAAQS. On September 26, 2000 (65 FR 57810), EPA formally initiated its current review of the criteria and NAAQS for ozone, requesting the submission of recent scientific information on specified topics. A draft Project Work Plan for a revised Ozone AQCD, with preliminary outlines for the proposed chapters, was released for public comment (66 FR 67524, December 31, 2001) and reviewed by the Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC) of EPA’s Science Advisory Board (68 FR 3527, January 24, 2003).

ACTION: Notice of data availability & request for comment. AGENCY: SUMMARY: Notice of availability for a 45 day review and comment period is hereby given for the Draft Well Information Data Standard. The Draft Well Information Data Standard describes data elements and data groupings that are used to exchange information about wells and is a supplement to the ESAR: Monitoring Location [EX000003.1] Data Standard when well information is being exchanged. It includes information about well ownership, location, use, construction, and where samples or measurements are made. The user may find that the information here can be very detailed, however, it should be noted that it provides structure for those data that are available and there is need to exchange.

EPA’s policy is that all comments received will be included in the public docket without change and may be made available online at www.regulations.gov, including any personal information provided, unless the comment includes information claimed to be Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Do not submit information that you consider to be CBI or otherwise protected through www.regulations.gov or e-mail. The www.regulations.gov Web site is an ‘‘anonymous access’’ system, which means EPA will not know your identity or contact information unless you provide it in the body of your comment. If you send an e-mail comment directly to EPA without going through www.regulations.gov your email address will be automatically captured and included as part of the comment that is placed in the public docket and made available on the Internet. If you submit an electronic comment, EPA recommends that you include your name and other contact information in the body of your comment and with any disk or CD–ROM you submit. If EPA cannot read your comment due to technical difficulties and cannot contact you for clarification, EPA may not be able to consider your comment. Electronic files should avoid the use of special characters, any form of encryption, and be free of any defects or viruses.

The decision to put the Draft Well Information Data Standard out for review was made jointly by U.S. EPA, States, and Tribes (through the Exchange Network Leadership Council (ENLC)), an organization that represents the USE EPA, States and Tribal entities. The ENLC took over responsibility for Data Standards development, administration and management from the Environmental Data Standards Council (EDSC) in January 2006).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. General Information

A. Background

    Section 108 (a) of the Clean Air Act directs the EPA 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 criteria.
    Ozone is one of six ``criteria'' pollutants for which EPA has 
established air quality criteria and NAAQS. On September 26, 2000 (65 
FR 57810), EPA formally initiated its current review of the criteria 
and NAAQS for ozone, requesting the submission of recent scientific 
information on specified topics. A draft Project Work Plan for a 
revised Ozone AQCD, with preliminary outlines for the proposed 
chapters, was released for public comment (66 FR 67524, December 31, 
2001) and reviewed by the Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee 
(CASAC) of EPA's Science Advisory Board (68 FR 3527, January 24, 2003). 
EPA later convened a series of workshops to discuss draft sections and 
chapters that had been developed

[[Page 10031]]

for revising the existing Ozone AQCD (68 FR 17365, April 9, 2003, and 
68 FR 60369, October 22, 2003).
    In January 2005, EPA announced the availability of the First 
External Review Draft of the revised Ozone AQCD for public review and 
comments (70 FR 4850, January 31, 2005) and presented the draft to the 
CASAC Ozone Review Panel on May 4-5, 2005. Taking into account public 
and CASAC comments, EPA prepared and announced a Second External Review 
Draft for public review and comment (70 FR 51810, August 31, 2005).
    At a public meeting in December 2005, EPA presented the Second 
External Review Draft to the Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee 
(CASAC) for their review. Public comments and comments from the CASAC 
Review Panel were considered in preparing the final Ozone AQCD 
announced in this Federal Register notice.
