SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
ebenthall on PRODPC60 with NOTICES
I. Information About the Document
Section 108(a) of the Clean Air Act
directs the Administrator to identify
certain pollutants that ‘‘cause or
contribute to air pollution 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 air quality criteria.
Sulfur oxides are one of six principal
(or ‘‘criteria’’) pollutants for which EPA
has established NAAQS. Periodically,
EPA reviews the scientific basis for
these standards by preparing an
Integrated Science Assessment (ISA),
formerly called an Air Quality Criteria
Document (AQCD). The ISA and
supplementary annexes, in conjunction
with additional technical and policy
assessments, provide the scientific basis
for EPA decisions on the adequacy of a
current NAAQS and the appropriateness
of new or revised standards. The Clean
Air Scientific Advisory Committee
(CASAC), an independent science
advisory committee mandated by the
Clean Air Act and part of the EPA’s
Science Advisory Board (SAB), is
charged with independent expert
scientific review of EPA’s draft ISAs.
On May 16, 2006 (71 FR 28023), EPA
formally initiated its current review of
the criteria for Sulfur Oxides, requesting
the submission of recent scientific
information on specified topics. A draft
of EPA’s ‘‘Integrated Plan for Review of
the Primary National Ambient Air
Quality Standard for Sulfur Oxides’’
was made available in February 2007 for
public comment and was discussed by
the CASAC via a publicly accessible
VerDate Aug<31>2005
15:14 Jul 23, 2008
Jkt 214001
teleconference consultation on May 11,
2007 (72 FR 20336). A review of the
secondary (welfare-based) NAAQS for
Sulfur Oxides is being conducted
separately, in conjunction with the
review of the secondary NAAQS for
Oxides of Nitrogen. The plan was
finalized and made available in October
2007 (https://www.epa.gov/ttn/naaqs/
standards/so2/s_so2_cr_pd.html). In
February 2007 (72 FR 6238), a workshop
was held to discuss, with invited
scientific experts, initial draft materials
prepared in the development of the ISA
and supplementary annexes for sulfur
oxides. The first external review draft of
this ISA was released for public
comment and review by the CASAC on
September 28, 2007 (72 FR 55207), and
was reviewed by CASAC at a public
meeting held on December 5–6, 2007
(72 FR 64216). The second draft
document was released for CASAC and
public review on May 30, 2008 (73 FR
31113); this draft document
incorporated revisions to address
comments raised by CASAC and the
public. The Annexes to the draft ISA
were made available for review on June
17, 2008. In response to requests from
the public, EPA is extending the
deadline for public comments from July
25 to August 11, 2008.
The second external review draft ISA
for Sulfur Oxides will be discussed at a
public meeting for review by CASAC,
and public comments received will be
provided to the CASAC review panel. A
future Federal Register notice will
inform the public of the exact date and
time of that CASAC meeting.

tariff services to itself or to any affiliate
that is neither a section 272 nor a rule
64.1903 separate affiliate for use in the
provision of any in-region, long distance
services that it provides service
pursuant to that contract tariff to an
unaffiliated customer. The certification
requirement will ensure, as a result of
the relief granted in FCC 07–159,
equivalent protection in the event the
BOCs provide in-region, long distance
services directly and will be less
burdensome and less costly for these
providers.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Information About the Document
Section 108(a) of the Clean Air Act directs the Administrator to
identify certain pollutants that ``cause or contribute to air pollution
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 air quality criteria.
Sulfur oxides are one of six principal (or ``criteria'') pollutants
for which EPA has established NAAQS. Periodically, EPA reviews the
scientific basis for these standards by preparing an Integrated Science
Assessment (ISA), formerly called an Air Quality Criteria Document
(AQCD). The ISA and supplementary annexes, in conjunction with
additional technical and policy assessments, provide the scientific
basis for EPA decisions on the adequacy of a current NAAQS and the
appropriateness of new or revised standards. The Clean Air Scientific
Advisory Committee (CASAC), an independent science advisory committee
mandated by the Clean Air Act and part of the EPA's Science Advisory
Board (SAB), is charged with independent expert scientific review of
EPA's draft ISAs.
On May 16, 2006 (71 FR 28023), EPA formally initiated its current
review of the criteria for Sulfur Oxides, requesting the submission of
recent scientific information on specified topics. A draft of EPA's
``Integrated Plan for Review of the Primary National Ambient Air
Quality Standard for Sulfur Oxides'' was made available in February
2007 for public comment and was discussed by the CASAC via a publicly
accessible teleconference consultation on May 11, 2007 (72 FR 20336). A
review of the secondary (welfare-based) NAAQS for Sulfur Oxides is
being conducted separately, in conjunction with the review of the
secondary NAAQS for Oxides of Nitrogen. The plan was finalized and made
available in October 2007 (https://www.epa.gov/ttn/naaqs/standards/so2/
s_so2_cr_pd.html). In February 2007 (72 FR 6238), a workshop was
held to discuss, with invited scientific experts, initial draft
materials prepared in the development of the ISA and supplementary
annexes for sulfur oxides. The first external review draft of this ISA
was released for public comment and review by the CASAC on September
28, 2007 (72 FR 55207), and was reviewed by CASAC at a public meeting
held on December 5-6, 2007 (72 FR 64216). The second draft document was
released for CASAC and public review on May 30, 2008 (73 FR 31113);
this draft document incorporated revisions to address comments raised
by CASAC and the public. The Annexes to the draft ISA were made
available for review on June 17, 2008. In response to requests from the
public, EPA is extending the deadline for public comments from July 25
to August 11, 2008.
The second external review draft ISA for Sulfur Oxides will be
discussed at a public meeting for review by CASAC, and public comments
received will be provided to the CASAC review panel. A future Federal
Register notice will inform the public of the exact date and time of
that CASAC meeting.
