Workshop on Assessment of Health
Science for the Review of the NAAQS
for Nitrogen (NOx) and Sulfur Oxides
(SOx)
Environmental Protection
Agency.
ACTION: Notice of workshop.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is announcing that a
workshop on Assessment of Health
Science for the Review of the National
Ambient Air Quality Standards
(NAAQS) for Nitrogen (NOX) and Sulfur
Oxides (SOX) is being organized by
EPA’s National Center for
Environmental Assessment (NCEA), in
conjunction with the Office of Air
Quality Standards (OAQPS), and will be
held on February 26–28, 2007. The
workshop will be open to attendance by
interested public observers. Space is
limited, and reservations will be
accepted on a first-come, first-served
basis.
DATES: The workshop will be held on
February 26–28, 2007.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For
information regarding registration and
logistics for the workshop please contact

technical aspects of the workshop
please contact Dr. Anu Mudipalli at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Summary of Information About the
Workshop/Document
The U.S. Clean Air Act requires EPA
to carry out periodic reviews of the
NAAQS for major ‘‘criteria’’ air
pollutants and to retain or revise the
NAAQS for a given pollutant, as
appropriate. EPA recently instituted a
number of changes to the NAAQS
review process to help improve the EPA
the efficiency of the process while
ensuring that EPA’s decisions on the
NAAQS are informed by the best
science available. As part of the NAAQS
reviews NCEA, within EPA’s Office of
Research and Development (ORD), will
assess newly available scientific
information in Integrated Science
PO 00000
Frm 00045
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Assessment (ISA) documents (formerly
known as Criteria Documents). The ISA
will be supported by a more detailed
and comprehensive Science Assessment
Support Document (SASD). The
assessments in these documents will
provide the scientific basis for the
reviews of the NAAQS. EPA’s OAQPS
will prepare risk and exposure
assessment analyses, as appropriate,
drawing upon the scientific evidence
summarized in the ISA. Subsequently,
the EPA will prepare a policy
assessment that discusses, in part, the
findings of the science and risk/
exposure assessments related to the
adequacy of the standards and describes
a range of options for revising or
retaining the NAAQS.
NCEA is holding this workshop to
inform the Agency’s assessment process
of the existing scientific evidence for the
review of the NAAQS for the criteria
pollutants NOX and SOX. The workshop
will address various issues involved in
the preparation of the draft material for
the ISA and SASD and issues involved
in the integration of health evidence
from both animal and human toxicology
and epidemiology studies, along with
key information from atmospheric
science and exposure studies. This
workshop is planned to help ensure that
the SASD provides an up-to-date, state
of the art scientific basis for the review
of the NAAQS for these criteria
pollutants. Workshop discussions will
be focused on identifying and
integrating policy relevant health
findings in the ISA and for future risk
and exposure analyses.
A second workshop will be
announced in the next several months
to discuss environmental effects related
to the review of the NAAQS for NOX
and SOX and the preparation of the draft
ISA.
