Carbon monoxide (CO) is one of six ‘‘criteria’’ pollutants for which EPA has established NAAQS. Periodically, EPA 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 the current NAAQS and the appropriateness of possible alternative standards. The Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC), an independent science advisory committee whose review and advisory functions are mandated by Section 109(d)(2) of the Clean Air Act, is charged (among other things) with independent scientific review of EPA’s air quality criteria. On September 13, 2007 (72 FR 52369), EPA formally initiated its current review of the air quality criteria for CO, requesting the submission of recent scientific information on specified topics. A workshop was held on January 28–29, 2008 (73 FR 2490) to discuss policy-relevant science to inform EPA’s planning for the CO NAAQS review. In March 2008, a draft of EPA’s ‘‘Plan for Review of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for Carbon Monoxide’’ (EPA–452/D–08–001) was made available for public comment and was discussed by the CASAC via a publicly accessible teleconference consultation on April 8, 2008 (73 FR 12998). EPA finalized the plan and made it available in August 2008 (EPA/ 452/R–08/005; https://www.epa.gov/ttn/ naaqs/standards/co/s_co_cr_pd.html). In November 2008, EPA held an authors’ teleconference to discuss, with invited scientific experts, preliminary draft materials prepared during the ongoing development of the CO ISA and its supplementary annexes. The First External Review Draft ISA for CO (EPA/600/R–09/019; https:// cfpub.epa.gov/ncea/cfm/ recordisplay.cfm?deid=203935) was released for public comment and CASAC review on March 12, 2009 (74 FR 10734). This document was reviewed by the CASAC review panel and discussed at a public meeting held May 12–13, 2009 (74 FR 15265). The CASAC held a follow-up public teleconference on June 17, 2009 (74 FR 25530) to review and approve the CASAC CO Review Panel’s draft letter providing comments to EPA on the First External Review Draft ISA for CO. Following the teleconference, CASAC sent a final letter report to EPA on June VerDate Nov<24>2008 16:49 Jan 28, 2010 Jkt 220001 24, 2009 (https://yosemite.epa.gov/sab/ sabproduct.nsf/4620a620d0120f 93852572410080d786/ 6E648129288BF930852575D F0070A528/$File/EPA-CASAC-09-011unsigned.pdf). The Second External Review Draft ISA for CO (EPA/600/R–09/019B; https://cfpub.epa.gov/ncea/cfm/ recordisplay.cfm?deid=213229), which took into consideration comments by CASAC and the public on the First External Review Draft, was released for public comment and CASAC review on September 23, 2009 (74 FR 48536). This document was reviewed by the CASAC review panel and discussed at a public meeting held November 16–17, 2009 (74 FR 54042). The CASAC held a followup public teleconference on December 22, 2009 to review and approve the CASAC CO Review Panel’s draft letter providing comments to EPA on the Second External Review Draft ISA for CO. The final letter report can be obtained from the CASAC Web site (https://yosemite.epa.gov/sab/ sabpeople.nsf/WebCommittees/CASAC). EPA has considered comments by CASAC and by the public in preparing this final ISA. Dated: January 13, 2010. Rebecca Clark, Acting Director, National Center for Environmental Assessment.
