Notification of a Public Meeting of the
Clean Air Scientific Advisory
Committee (CASAC) Carbon Monoxide
Review Panel
AGENCY: Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) Science Advisory Board
(SAB) Staff Office announces a public
meeting of the Clean Air Scientific
Advisory Committee Carbon Monoxide
Review Panel to peer review EPA’s
Integrated Science Assessment for
Carbon Monoxide: First External Review
Draft and conduct a consultation on
EPA’s planning document entitled
Carbon Monoxide National Ambient Air
Quality Standards: Scope and Methods
Plan for Risk and Exposure Assessment.
DATES: The public meeting will be held
on Tuesday, May 12, 2009 from 9 a.m.
to 5 p.m. (Eastern Time) and
Wednesday, May 13, 2009 from 8 a.m.

information concerning the CASAC
public meeting may contact Dr. Ellen
Rubin, Designated Federal Officer
(DFO), EPA Science Advisory Board
(1400F), U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue,
NW., Washington, DC 20460; via
telephone/voice mail (202) 343–9975;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background: The Clean Air Scientific
Advisory Committee (CASAC) 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. CASAC
provides advice, information and
recommendations on the scientific and
technical aspects of air quality criteria
and National Ambient Air Quality
Standards (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 Panel will comply with the
PO 00000
Frm 00026
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
15265
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
carbon monoxide (CO). EPA is
conducting scientific assessments to
review the primary (health-based)
NAAQS of CO. As part of this review,
EPA’s Office of Research and
Development (ORD) has completed a
draft document, Integrated Science
Assessment for Carbon Monoxide (First
External Review Draft, March 2009) and
requested that CASAC peer review the
document. EPA’s Office of Air and
Radiation (OAR) will also release a
planning document entitled Carbon
Monoxide National Ambient Air Quality
Standards: Scope and Methods Plan for
Risk and Exposure Assessment (April
2009). OAR has requested that the
CASAC provide consultative advice on
this plan.
The purpose of the May 12–13, 2009
meeting is to review these two
documents. Background information
about the formation of the CASAC
Carbon Monoxide Review Panel was
published in the Federal Register on
October 12, 2007 (72 FR 58078–58080).
The CASAC Panel previously held a
public teleconference on April 8, 2008
(announced in 73 FR 12998) to provide
consultative advice on EPA’s Plan for
Review of the National Ambient Air
Quality Standards for Carbon
Monoxide, the first document in this
review of the CO NAAQS. The CASAC
panel report was made available at

Technical Contacts: Any questions
concerning EPA’s Integrated Science
Assessment for Carbon Monoxide
should be directed to Dr. Tom Long at
long.tom@epa.gov at (919) 541–1880.
Any questions concerning EPA’s Carbon
Monoxide National Ambient Air Quality
Standard: Scope and Methods Plan for
Risk and Exposure Assessment should
be directed to Dr. Dave McKee at

the EPA assist in exploring means of
effectively identifying challenges and
ways to remedy this pest concern.
Potential participants for this forum
include Federal, State, and local
government agencies responsible for
public health and public housing;
researchers and academicians; health,
