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/

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 stone.susan@epa.gov.
Availability of Meeting Materials: A
meeting agenda and other materials for
the meeting will be placed on the
CASAC Web site on the page reserved
