The CASAC is a Federal advisory committee chartered under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), as amended, 5 U.S.C., App. The CASAC Ozone Review Panel complies with the provisions of FACA and all appropriate SAB Staff Office procedural policies. Section 109(d)(1) of the CAA requires that the Agency periodically review and revise, as appropriate, the air quality criteria and the national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) for the six ‘‘criteria’’ air pollutants, including ambient ozone. Pursuant to sections 108 and 109 of the Act, EPA is in the process of reviewing the ozone NAAQS, which the Agency most recently revised in July 1997. EPA’s Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards (OAQPS), within the Office of Air and Radiation (OAR), has developed a second draft Ozone Staff Paper as part of its review of the ozone NAAQS. This second draft Ozone Staff Paper evaluates the policy implications of the key scientific and technical information contained in the Agency’s final Air Quality Criteria for Ozone and Related Photochemical Oxidants, Volumes I, II, and III, (EPA/ 600/R–05/004aF–cF, February 2006), and identifies critical elements that EPA believes should be considered in its review of the ozone NAAQS. The Ozone Staff Paper is intended to ‘‘bridge the gap’’ between the scientific review contained in the Ozone Air Quality Criteria Document (AQCD) and the public health and welfare policy judgments required of the EPA Administrator in reviewing the ozone NAAQS. The Agency solicited early advice and recommendations from the CASAC Panel by means of a consultation on the Review of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for Ozone: Policy Assessment of Scientific and Technical Information (first draft Ozone Staff Paper, November 2005) and two related draft technical support documents, Ozone Health Risk Assessment for Selected Urban Areas: Draft Report (first draft Ozone Risk Assessment, November 2005) and Ozone Population Exposure Analysis for Selected Urban Areas: Draft Report (first draft Ozone Exposure Assessment, October 2005).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Background: 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 CASAC Ozone Review Panel complies with the provisions of FACA 
and all appropriate SAB Staff Office procedural policies.
    Section 109(d)(1) of the CAA requires that the Agency periodically 
review and revise, as appropriate, the air quality criteria and the 
national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) for the six ``criteria'' 
air pollutants, including ambient ozone. Pursuant to sections 108 and 
109 of the Act, EPA is in the process of reviewing the ozone NAAQS, 
which the Agency most recently revised in July 1997. EPA's Office of 
Air Quality Planning and Standards (OAQPS), within the Office of Air 
and Radiation (OAR), has developed a second draft Ozone Staff Paper as

Paper evaluates the policy implications of the key scientific and 
technical information contained in the Agency's final Air Quality 
Criteria for Ozone and Related Photochemical Oxidants, Volumes I, II,
