General information concerning the CASAC can be found on the EPA Web site at https://www.epa.gov/casac. 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 CASAC Panel on the Ozone NAAQS Reconsideration 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 National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for the six ‘‘criteria’’ air pollutants, including ozone. From 2005 to 2008, the CASAC Ozone Review Panel conducted scientific reviews of EPA’s scientific assessments of the health and welfare effects of Ozone and other Photochemical Oxidants. This panel last met on March 28, 2008 to provide comments on EPA’s Final Rule for the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for ozone (73 FR 16436). CASAC advisory reports on this subject are available on the CASAC Web site at https:// yosemite.epa.gov/sab/sabproduct.nsf/ WebProjectsbyTopicCASAC!OpenView under completed topics, specifically Ozone 2005–2008. On September 16, 2009, EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson announced her decision to reconsider the March 12, 2008 primary and secondary Ozone NAAQS to ensure they are scientifically sound and protective of public health and the environment. Pursuant to this decision, EPA has proposed on January 6, 2009 to set different primary and secondary standards than those set in 2008 to provide requisite protection of public health and welfare, respectively (see https://www.epa.gov/ttn/naaqs/ standards/ozone/s_o3_cr_fr.html). Since the proposed standards are based on the scientific record from the 2008 rulemaking, including public comments PO 00000 Frm 00049 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 1381 and CASAC advice, EPA’s Office of Air and Radiation requested the former Ozone Review Panel to provide comments and advice on the proposed Ozone standards. Accordingly, the SAB Staff Office is reconvening the former Ozone Review Panel to provide advice on the proposed Ozone NAAQS. This panel is renamed ‘‘Ozone Review Panel for the Reconsideration of the 2008 NAAQS.’’ The roster for this panel can be viewed at https://yosemite.epa.gov/ sab/sabproduct.nsf/WebCASAC/ CommitteesandMembership?

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 CASAC 
Panel on the Ozone NAAQS Reconsideration 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 
National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for the six ``criteria'' 
air pollutants, including ozone.
    From 2005 to 2008, the CASAC Ozone Review Panel conducted 
scientific reviews of EPA's scientific assessments of the health and 
welfare effects of Ozone and other Photochemical Oxidants. This panel 
last met on March 28, 2008 to provide comments on EPA's Final Rule for 
the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for ozone (73 FR 
16436). CASAC advisory reports on this subject are available on the 
CASAC Web site at https://yosemite.epa.gov/sab/sabproduct.nsf/WebProjectsbyTopicCASAC!OpenView under completed topics, specifically 
Ozone 2005-2008.
    On September 16, 2009, EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson announced her 
decision to reconsider the March 12, 2008 primary and secondary Ozone 
NAAQS to ensure they are scientifically sound and protective of public 
health and the environment. Pursuant to this decision, EPA has proposed 
on January 6, 2009 to set different primary and secondary standards 
than those set in 2008 to provide requisite protection of public health 
and welfare, respectively (see https://www.epa.gov/ttn/naaqs/standards/ozone/s_o3_cr_fr.html). Since the proposed standards are based on 
the scientific record from the 2008 rulemaking, including public 
comments and CASAC advice, EPA's Office of Air and Radiation requested 
the former Ozone Review Panel to provide comments and advice on the 
proposed Ozone standards. Accordingly, the SAB Staff Office is 
reconvening the former Ozone Review Panel to provide advice on the 
proposed Ozone NAAQS. This panel is renamed ``Ozone Review Panel for 
the Reconsideration of the 2008 NAAQS.'' The roster for this panel can 
be viewed at https://yosemite.epa.gov/sab/sabproduct.nsf/WebCASAC/CommitteesandMembership?OpenDocument. The purpose of the January 25, 
2010 teleconference is for this Panel for the Reconsideration of the 
2008 NAAQS to review EPA's proposed rule.
    Technical Contacts: Any questions concerning EPA's proposed rule 
for the NAAQS for Ozone should be directed to Ms. Susan Stone, Office 
of Air and Radiation (OAR) or by e-mail at (919) 541-1146 or
