Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 135 / Thursday, July 16, 2009 / Notices
Background: Pursuant to the Federal
Advisory Committee Act, Public Law
92–463 5 U.S.C., App. 2 (FACA), notice
is hereby given that the CASAC Oxides
of Nitrogen Primary National Ambient
Air Quality Standards (NAAQ) Review
Panel will hold a public teleconference
to provide comments concerning EPA’s
announced plans to propose revisions to
National Ambient Air Quality Standards
for nitrogen dioxide. 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 Panel
will comply with the 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 NAAQS for the six
‘‘criteria’’ air pollutants, including
oxides of nitrogen. The CASAC Oxides
of Nitrogen Primary NAAQS Review
Panel has provided advice and review of
key technical documents associated
with EPA’s reassessment of the NAAQS
for oxides of nitrogen, including the
Agency’s Integrated Science Assessment
for Oxides of Nitrogen—Health Criteria
and Risk and Exposure Assessment to
Support the Review of the NO2 Primary
National Ambient Air Quality Standard.
The public may access completed
CASAC advisory reports related to the
primary NAAQS review of oxides of
nitrogen at the CASAC site at https://
yosemite.epa.gov/sab/sabproduct.nsf/
WebReportsbyTopicCASAC!OpenView.
On June 29, 2009, EPA announced
proposed revisions to the NAAQS for
nitrogen dioxide (NO2), the indicator
chosen for oxides of nitrogen. The
proposed revisions for NO2 can be
found on the EPA Web site at https://
www.epa.gov/ttn/naaqs/standards/nox/
s_nox_cr_fr.html. Primary standards set
limits to protect public health,
including the health of ‘‘sensitive’’
populations such as asthmatics,
children, and the elderly.
The purpose of the public
teleconference meeting on August 10,
2009 is for the CASAC Panel to provide
comments concerning the proposed
revisions of the primary NAAQS for
NO2.
Technical Contact: Any questions
concerning the Agency’s proposed rule
for the revision of the NAAQS for lead
should be directed to Dr. Scott Jenkins,
