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
E:\FR\FM\28FEN1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 39 / Tuesday, February 28, 2006 / Notices
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.

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. States and U.S. EPA
completed a technical review of this
standard in the Fall of 2005.
DATES: Comments must be submitted on
or before April 13, 2006.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments,
identified by Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–
OEI–2006–0157 by one of the following
methods:
• https://www.regulations.gov: Follow
the on-line instructions for submitting
comments.

0157. 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. For additional information
about EPA’s public docket visit the EPA
Docket Center homepage at https://

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
standard was developed by a group of
professionals and submitted as a
comment on the ESAR Suite of Data
Standards published in an earlier
Federal Register. 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).
The standards are intended for use in
environmental data exchanges among
