Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 141 / Monday, July 24, 2006 / Notices
EPA with a better understanding about
how people relate to their personal
impacts on the environment, and will
lead to improved communication
between members of the general public,
environmental regulators, and resource
managers. The end result will be more
effective and appropriately targeted
environmental regulation.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 0.33 hours per
response. Burden means the total time,
effort, or financial resources expended
by persons to generate, maintain, retain,
or disclose or provide information to or
for a Federal agency. This includes the
time needed to review instructions;
develop, acquire, install, and utilize
technology and systems for the purposes
of collecting, validating, and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; adjust the
existing ways to comply with any
previously applicable instructions and
requirements which have subsequently
changed; train personnel to be able to
respond to a collection of information;
search data sources; complete and
review the collection of information;
and transmit or otherwise disclose the
information.
What Is the Next Step in the Process for
This ICR?
EPA will consider the comments
received and amend the ICR as
appropriate. The final ICR package will
then be submitted to OMB for review
and approval pursuant to 5 CFR
1320.12. At that time, EPA will issue
another Federal Register notice
pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to
announce the submission of the ICR to
OMB and the opportunity to submit
additional comments to OMB. If you
have any questions about this ICR or the
approval process, please contact the
technical person listed under FOR

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background: The CASAC, which is
comprised of seven members appointed
PO 00000
Frm 00049
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
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 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). This consultation took
place in a public meeting on December

Review Panel’s advisory activities in
this current review cycle for the ozone
NAAQS.
Technical Contact: Any questions
concerning the second draft Ozone Staff
Paper and the second draft Ozone
Health Risk Assessment, the second
draft Ozone Exposure Assessment, and
