Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 240 / Friday, December 12, 2008 / Notices
jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
(CASAC), an independent science
advisory committee established
pursuant to section 109 of the Clean Air
Act and part of the EPA’s Science
Advisory Board (SAB), provides
independent scientific advice on
NAAQS matters, including advice on
EPA’s draft ISAs.
EPA formally initiated its current
review of the criteria for oxides of
nitrogen and sulfur in December 2005
(70 FR 73236) and May 2006 (71 FR
28023) respectively, requesting the
submission of recent scientific
information on specified topics. In the
initial stages of the criteria reviews, EPA
recognized the merit of integrating the
science assessment for these two
pollutants due to their combined effects
on atmospheric chemistry, deposition
processes, and environment-related
public welfare effects. In July 2007 (72
FR 34004), EPA held a workshop to
discuss, with invited scientific experts,
initial draft materials prepared in the
development of the ISA and
supplementary annexes for oxides of
nitrogen and sulfur. EPA’s ‘‘Draft Plan
for Review of the Secondary National
Ambient Air Quality Standards for
Nitrogen Dioxide and Sulfur Dioxide’’
was made available in September 2007
for public comment and was discussed
by the Clean Air Scientific Advisory
Committee (CASAC) via a publicly
accessible teleconference consultation
on October 30, 2007 (72 FR 57568). EPA
made its Draft Plan available on EPA’s
Web site: https://www.epa.gov/ttn/
naaqs/standards/no2so2sec/cr_pd.html.
The draft ‘‘Integrated Science
Assessment for Oxides of Nitrogen and
Sulfur—Environmental Criteria; First
External Review Draft’’ was released for
review on December 21, 2007 (72 FR
72719). The CASAC reviewed the first
draft document at a public peer review
meeting on April 2–3, 2008. EPA
addressed comments from the CASAC
and the public in the second external
review draft document, ‘‘Integrated
Science Assessment for Oxides of
Nitrogen and Sulfur—Environmental
Criteria; Second External Review Draft,’’
which was released for public comment
on August 12, 2008 (72 FR 46908). The
second draft was reviewed by the
CASAC at a public meeting on October
2–3, 2008. EPA has considered
comments by CASAC and by the public
in preparing this final ISA.
Dated: December 4, 2008.
