Integrated Science Assessment for
Oxides of Nitrogen and Sulfur—
Environmental Criteria
AGENCY: Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of Availability.
SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency is announcing the
availability of a final document entitled,
‘‘Integrated Science Assessment for
Oxides of Nitrogen and Sulfur—
Ecological Criteria,’’ and the
supplementary annexes (EPA/600/R–08/
082F). The document was prepared by
the National Center for Environmental
Assessment (NCEA) within EPA’s Office
of Research and Development as part of
the review of the secondary National
Ambient Air Quality Standards
(NAAQS) for oxides of nitrogen and
sulfur. EPA’s secondary NAAQS are
based on ecological and welfare effects.

Sfmt 4703
DATES: The document will be available
on or about December 12, 2008.
ADDRESSES: The ‘‘Integrated Science
Assessment for Oxides of Nitrogen and
Sulfur—Environmental Criteria’’ will be
available primarily via the Internet on
the National Center for Environmental
Assessment’s home page under the
Recent Additions and Publications
menus at https://www.epa.gov/ncea. A
limited number of CD–ROM or paper
copies will be available. Contact Ms.
Ellen Lorang by phone (919–541–2771),
fax (919–541–5078), or e-mail
(lorang.ellen@epa.gov) to request either
of these, and please provide your name,
your mailing address, and the document
title, ‘‘Integrated Science Assessment for
Oxides of Nitrogen and Sulfur—
Environmental Criteria’’ (EPA/600/R–
08/082F), to facilitate processing of your
request.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For
technical information, contact Tara
Greaver, Ph.D., NCEA [telephone: 919–
541–2435; facsimile: 919–541–5078; or
e-mail: greaver.tara@epa.gov].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
108(a) of the Clean Air Act directs the
Administrator to identify certain
pollutants that ‘‘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 NAAQS for
each pollutant for which EPA has issued
criteria. Section 109(d) of the Act
requires subsequent 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.
Oxides of nitrogen and sulfur are two
of six principal (or ‘‘criteria’’) pollutants
for which EPA has established air
quality criteria and NAAQS. EPA
periodically reviews the scientific basis
for these standards by preparing an
Integrated Science Assessment (ISA)
(formerly called an Air Quality Criteria
Document). 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
