EPA’s Policy Assessment for the Review
of Particulate Matter National Ambient
Air Quality Standards—First External
Review Draft (March 2010).
DATES: The teleconference will be held
on May 7, 2010 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.,
(Eastern Time).

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
2. The 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 National Ambient Air
Quality Standard (NAAQS) for the six
‘‘criteria’’ air pollutants, including
particulate matter (PM). EPA conducts
scientific and policy assessments related
to both primary (health-based) and
secondary (welfare-based) standards for
each of these pollutants. As part of that
process, the CASAC Particulate Matter
Review Panel reviews a series of EPA’s
assessments that provide the basis for
EPA rulemaking.
The purpose of the May 7, 2010
teleconference is to discuss a draft
CASAC letter on EPA’s Policy
Assessment for the Review of the
Particulate Matter National Ambient Air
Quality Standards (March 2010). EPA’s
Office of Air and Radiation’s Office of
Air Quality Planning and Standards
requested CASAC’s review of the draft
Policy Assessment for the Review of the
Particulate Matter National Ambient Air
Quality Standards (Policy Assessment,
March 2010) as part of its review of the
National Ambient Air Quality Standard
(NAAQS) for particulate matter. The
Policy Assessment serves to ‘‘bridge the
gap’’ between the scientific information
and the judgments required of the
Administrator in determining whether it
is appropriate to retain or revise the
standards. The first draft Policy
Assessment builds upon the key
scientific and technical information
contained in the Agency’s Integrated
Science Assessment for Particulate
Matter (Final Report) (ISA, December
2009) as well as the two draft

assessment documents titled Particulate
Matter Urban-Focused Visibility
Assessment: Second External Review
Draft (January 2010) and Quantitative
Health Risk Assessment for Particulate
Matter: Second External Review Draft
(March 2010).
Background information about the
formation of the CASAC Particulate
Matter Review Panel was published in
the Federal Register on March 8, 2007
(72 FR 10527–10528). The Panel
previously held a public teleconference
on November 30, 2007 (announced in 72
FR 63177–63178) to provide
consultative advice on EPA’s draft
Integrated Review Plan for the National
Ambient Air Quality Standards for
Particulate Matter (October 2007), the
first document in this review of the PM
NAAQS. On April 1–2, 2009, CASAC
reviewed the Integrated Science
Assessment for Particulate Matter—First
External Review Draft (December 2008),
and provided consultative advice on
Particulate Matter National Ambient Air
Quality Standards: Scope and Methods
Plan for Health Risk and Exposure
Assessment (February 2009) and
Particulate Matter National Ambient Air
Quality Standards: Scope and Methods
Plan for Urban Visibility Impact
Assessment (February 2009). The April
1–2, 2009 meeting was announced
February 19, 2009 in 74 FR 7688–7689.
As announced in 74 FR 46586–46587,
on October 5–6, 2009, CASAC reviewed
the Integrated Science Assessment for
Particulate Matter—Second External
Review Draft (July 2009) and Particulate
Matter Urban Focused Visibility
Assessment-External Review Draft
(September 2009) and Risk Assessment
to Support the Review of the PM
Primary National Ambient Air Quality
Standards-External Review Draft
(September 2009). As announced in 75
FR 8062–8063, the Panel reviewed
second drafts of these two documents
on March 10–11, 2010. The Panel also
held teleconferences (announced in 75
FR 8062–8063) on April 8, 2010 and
April 9, 2010 to discuss preliminary
responses to charge questions on the
Policy Assessment.
Technical Contacts: Any questions
concerning Policy Assessment for the
Review of Particulate Matter National
Ambient Air Quality Standards—First
External Review Draft (February 2010)
should be directed to Ms. Beth HassettSipple, OAR, at hassettsipple.beth@epa.gov or 919–541–4605.
