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 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 has been reviewing a
series of EPA’s assessments that provide
the basis for EPA rulemaking on
particulate matter.
At the July 26–27, 2010 meeting, the
CASAC Particulate Matter Review Panel
will review EPA’s forthcoming Policy
Assessment for the Review of the
Particulate Matter National Ambient Air
Quality Standards—Second External
Review Draft (June 2010). EPA’s Office
of Air and Radiation’s Office of Air
Quality Planning and Standards
PO 00000
Frm 00029
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
(OAQPS) requested CASAC’s review of
this draft document as part of its review
of the PM NAAQS. The second draft
Policy Assessment includes
consideration of CASAC and public
comments on the first draft Policy
Assessment (March 2010) as well as
additional analyses conducted by
OAQPS. This draft document builds
upon the key scientific and technical
information contained in the Agency’s
Integrated Science Assessment (ISA) for
Particulate Matter: Final Report
(December 2009) as well as the two
forthcoming final assessment
documents titled Particulate Matter
Urban-Focused Visibility Assessment:
Final Report (June 2010) and
Quantitative Health Risk Assessment for
Particulate Matter: Final Report (June
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
November 8, 2007 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.

CASAC reviewed the Integrated Science
Assessment for Particulate Matter—
Second External Review Draft (July

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).
In addition, this meeting included a
discussion with CASAC of an EPA/
OAQPS document titled Policy
Assessment for the Review of the
Particulate Matter National Ambient Air
Quality Standards: Preliminary Draft
(September 2009) on the nature of the
policy assessment document including
the overall structure, areas of focus, and
level of detail. As announced February
23, 2010 in 75 FR 8062–8063, the
CASAC Particulate Matter Review Panel
reviewed second drafts of the health risk
and visibility assessment documents on
March 10–11, 2010. The Panel also held
teleconferences (announced February
23, 2010 and April 16, 2010 in 75 FR
8062–8063 and 75 FR 19971) on April
8–9, 2010 and May 7, 2010,
respectively, to review the first external
review draft Policy Assessment.
Technical Contacts: Any questions
concerning Policy Assessment for the
Review of Particulate Matter National
Ambient Air Quality Standards—
Second External Review Draft (June
2010) should be directed to Ms. Beth
Hassett-Sipple, OAR, at hassettsipple.beth@epa.gov or (919) 541–4605.
Availability of Meeting Materials: All
meeting materials (agenda, charge
questions, preliminary comments and
other materials) for the July 26–27, 2010
meeting will be placed on the CASAC
Web site on the Web pages for those
public meetings, accessible through the

Procedures for Providing Public Input:
Public comment for consideration by
EPA’s federal advisory committees and
panels has a different purpose from
public comment provided to EPA
program offices. Therefore, the process
for submitting comments to a federal
advisory committee is different from the
process used to submit comments to an
EPA program office.
Federal advisory committees and
panels, including scientific advisory
committees, provide independent
advice to EPA. Members of the public
VerDate Mar<15>2010

can submit comments for a federal
advisory committee to consider as it
develops advice for EPA. They should
send their comments directly to the
Designated Federal Officer for the
relevant advisory committee. Oral
Statements: In general, individuals or
groups requesting an oral presentation
at a public meeting will be limited to
five minutes per speaker. To be placed
on the public speaker list for the July
26–27, 2010 meeting, interested parties
should notify Dr. Holly Stallworth,
DFO, by e-mail no later than July 20,
2010. Individuals making oral
statements will be limited to five
minutes per speaker. Written
Statements: Written statements for the
July 26–27, 2010 meeting should be
received in the SAB Staff Office by July
20, 2010, so that the information may be
made available to the CASAC Panel for
its consideration prior to this meeting.
Written statements should be supplied
to the DFO in the following formats:
One hard copy with original signature
and one electronic copy via e-mail
(acceptable file format: Adobe Acrobat
PDF, MS Word, WordPerfect, MS
PowerPoint, or Rich Text files in IBM–
PC/Windows 98/2000/XP format).
Submitters are asked to provide versions
of each document submitted with and
without signatures, because the SAB
Staff Office does not publish documents
with signatures on its Web sites.
Accessibility: For information on
access or services for individuals with
disabilities, please contact Dr.
Stallworth at the phone number or email address noted above, preferably at
least ten days prior to the meeting to
give EPA as much time as possible to
process your request.
