startup costs, and $136,000 in operation
and maintenance (O&M) costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is no
change in the number of affected
facilities as compared to the previous
ICR. There is a change in the number of
responses which is due to a more
accurate accounting.
However, there is a small decrease in
the estimated labor burden hours, as
currently identified in the OMB
Inventory of approved Burdens. The
decrease is not due to any program
changes. The change in the labor burden
hours occurred because the previous
ICR rounded their calculations, and this
renewal did not. There is an increase in
the cost estimates as compared to the
previous ICR. The change in the cost
estimates was caused by the updated
labor rates, which resulted in an
increase in the labor costs.

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 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 NOX
and SOX. EPA is in the process of
reviewing welfare effects for NOX and
SOX as defined in the CAA include, but
are not limited to, effects on soils, water,
wildlife, vegetation, visibility, weather,
and climate, as well as effects on
materials, economic values, and
personal comfort and well-being.
The CASAC NOX & SOX Secondary
NAAQS Review Panel has provided
advice and review of EPA’s review of
the secondary NAAQS for NOX and SOX
since 2008. Information about these
activities can be found on the CASAC
Web site at https://yosemite.epa.gov/sab/

Secondary NAAQS Review Panel held a
meeting on April 1 and 2, 2010, at the
request of EPA’s Office of Air and
Radiation to review EPA’s draft
document entitled Policy Assessment
for the Review of the Secondary
National Ambient Air Quality
Standards for NOX and SOX: First

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 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: To be placed on the public
speaker list for the October 6 and 7,
2010 meeting, interested parties should
notify Dr. Angela Nugent, DFO, by
e-mail no later than October 1, 2010.
Written Statements: Written statements
should be received in the SAB Staff
Office by October 1, 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 appropriate
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. Nugent at
the phone number or e-mail address
noted above, preferably at least ten days
prior to the meeting, to give EPA as
much time as possible to process your
request.

Drinking Water Strategy Contaminants
as Group(s)—Notice of Public
Stakeholder Meeting
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
On March 22, 2010, the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
Administrator Lisa P. Jackson
announced the Drinking Water Strategy,
a new vision to expand public health
protection for drinking water by going
beyond the traditional framework. The
Drinking Water Strategy includes the
following four principles: Addressing
some contaminants as group(s) rather
than one at a time so that enhancement
of drinking water protection can be
achieved cost-effectively; fostering
development of new drinking water
technologies to address health risks
posed by a broad array of contaminants;
using the authority of multiple statutes
to help protect drinking water; and
partnering with States to share more
complete data from monitoring at public
water systems.
The purpose of this notice is to
announce that EPA will be holding a
public meeting on September 21, 2010,
to engage stakeholders on the first of the
four principles, addressing
contaminants as group(s). EPA plans to
discuss approaches to regulate
contaminants as groups and potential
contaminant groups, share advantages
and disadvantages of various groups,
identify issues needing further
attention, and discuss potential
solutions. EPA invites the public and
stakeholders to participate in this
information exchange on addressing
contaminants as group(s).
DATE AND LOCATION: The public meeting
will be held on Tuesday, September 21,
2010 (8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Eastern
Daylight Savings Time), at the EPA East
Building, Room 1153, 1201 Constitution
Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20460.
