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 VerDate Nov<24>2008 14:55 Apr 19, 2010 Jkt 220001 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. Jennifer Noonan Edmonds, Acting Director, Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards.
