deadline identified.
Under section 108(a) of the Clean Air
Act (CAA), the Administrator identifies
and lists certain pollutants which ‘‘cause
or contribute to air pollution which may
reasonably be anticipated to endanger
public health or welfare.’’ The EPA then
issues air quality criteria for these listed
pollutants, which are commonly
referred to as ‘‘criteria pollutants.’’ The
air quality criteria are to ‘‘accurately
reflect the latest scientific knowledge
useful in indicating the kind and extent
of all identifiable effects on public
health or welfare which may be
expected from the presence of [a]
pollutant in the ambient air, in varying
quantities.’’ Under section 109 of the
CAA, EPA establishes NAAQS for each
listed pollutant, based on the air quality
criteria. Section 109(d) of the CAA
requires periodic review and, if
appropriate, revision of existing air
quality criteria. The revised air quality
criteria reflect advances in scientific
knowledge on the effects of the
pollutant on public health or welfare.
Section 109 (d) also requires EPA to
periodically review and revise the
NAAQS, if appropriate, based on the
revised criteria.
The EPA is currently conducting a
joint review of the existing secondary
(welfare-based) NAAQS for NOX and
SOX. Because NOX, SOX, and their
associated transformation products are
linked from an atmospheric chemistry
perspective as well as from an
environmental effects perspective, and
because of the National Research
Council’s 2004 recommendations to
consider multiple pollutants in forming
the scientific basis for the NAAQS, EPA
has decided to jointly assess the science,
risks, and policies relevant to protecting
the public welfare associated with NOX
and SOX. This is the first time since
NAAQS were established in 1971 that a
joint review of these two pollutants has
been conducted.
As part of this review of the current
secondary (welfare-based) NAAQS for
NOX and SOX, EPA’s Office of Air
Quality Planning and Standards staff
have prepared a first draft Policy
Assessment. The objective of this
assessment is to evaluate the policy
implications of the key scientific
information contained in the document
Integrated Science Assessment for
Oxides of Nitrogen and SulfurEcological Criteria (https://
cfpub.epa.gov/ncea/cfm/
recordisplay.cfm?deid=201485),
prepared by EPA’s National Center for
Environmental Assessment (NCEA) and
the results from the analyses contained

in the Risk and Exposure Assessment
for Review of the Secondary National
Ambient Air Quality Standards for
Oxides of Nitrogen and Oxides of Sulfur
(https://www.epa.gov/ttn/naaqs/
standards/no2so2sec/cr_rea.html). The
first draft Policy Assessment is available
online at: https://www.epa.gov/ttn/
naaqs/standards/no2so2sec/.
The first draft Policy Assessment was
reviewed by the CASAC during a public
meeting held on April 1 and 2, 2010.
Information about this public meeting is
available at https://yosemite.epa.gov/sab/
sabpeople.nsf/WebCommittees/CASAC.
At the April 1 and 2, 2010, CASAC
meeting, the Committee reviewed the
first draft Policy Assessment, heard
public comments, and prepared a draft
letter to the Agency with their advice
regarding the first draft Policy
Assessment.
The original comment period for the
first draft Policy Assessment was 60
days, from March 1, 2010, through April
29, 2010. In a letter dated April 8, 2010,
the Utility Air Regulatory Group
requested an extension of the comment
period through May 13, 2010. As of
April 12, 2010, EPA has received
comments from one public commenter
presented at the CASAC meeting on
April 1, 2010. Based on our
consideration of the request from the
Utility Air Regulatory Group, EPA is
granting the extension of the public
comment period through May 13, 2010.
Dated: April 13, 2010.
