The IRP, in addition to summarizing the schedule and process for the review, will present general approaches for evaluating the relevant scientific information, assessing leadrelated risks to public health and the environment, and addressing the key policy-relevant issues. The Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC) will be asked to consult with the Agency on the draft IRP in the late summer of 2010, and the public will have the opportunity to comment on it as well. The final IRP will be used as the framework to guide the review. 1 The Federal Register notice issuing EPA’s call for information for the recently initiated review is available at: https://www.epa.gov/ttn/naaqs/ standards/pb/s_pb_index.html. 2 More information on the NAAQS review process is provided at: https://www.epa.gov/ttn/naaqs/.
