The SAB is a Federal Advisory Committee chartered under FACA. The SAB will comply with the provisions of FACA and all appropriate SAB Staff Office procedural policies. Background: Human exposure to lead may cause a variety of adverse health effects, particularly in children. EPA’s Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics (OPPT) regulates toxic substances, such as lead, through the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). In 2001, EPA established standards for lead-based paint hazards, which include lead in residential dust. OPPT is considering possible revision of the residential lead-based paint dust hazard standards and the development of leadbased paint dust hazard standards for public and commercial buildings. As part of this effort, OPPT has developed two draft documents, Approach for Developing Lead Dust Hazard Standards for Residences (November 2010 Draft) and Approach for Developing Lead Dust Hazard Standards for Public and Commercial Buildings (November 2010 Draft). OPPT sought consultative advice from the SAB Lead Review Panel on early drafts of the documents on July 6–7, 2010 [Federal Register Notice dated June 3, 2010 (75 FR 31433–31434)]. EPA has considered the advice provided by individual members of the SAB Lead Review Panel in developing the two documents and sought SAB peer review on December 6–7, 2010 [see Federal Register Notice dated November 10, 2010 (75 FR 69069)].

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 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 Ozone. From 2005 to 2008, the CASAC Ozone Review Panel conducted scientific reviews of EPA’s scientific assessments of the health and welfare effects of Ozone and other Photochemical Oxidants. On April 7, 2008 letter, the Panel provided comments on EPA’s Final Rule for the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for Ozone (73 FR 16436). The April 7, 2008 letter (EPA–CASAC–08– 009) is one of several CASAC advisory reports provided to EPA to support the 2005–2008 Ozone review). The CASAC reports are available on the CASAC Web site at https://yosemite.epa.gov/sab/ sabproduct.nsf/WebReportsbyTopic CASAC!OpenView. On September 16, 2009, EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson announced her decision to reconsider the March 12, 2008 primary and secondary Ozone NAAQS to ensure they are scientifically sound and protective of public health and the environment. Pursuant to this decision, EPA proposed on January 6, 2009 to set different primary and secondary standards than those set in 2008 to provide requisite protection of public health and welfare, respectively (75 FR 2938–3052; January 19, 2010). Since the proposed standards are based on the scientific record from the 2008 rulemaking, including public comments and CASAC advice, EPA’s Office of Air and Radiation requested the Ozone Review Panel that conducted the 2005– 2008 review to provide comments on EPA’s 2010 proposed Ozone standards. Accordingly, the SAB Staff Office reconvened the Ozone Review Panel to provide advice on the proposed reconsideration of the 2008 Ozone NAAQS. As discussed in 75 FR 1381– 1382, this Panel (renamed ‘‘Ozone Review Panel for the Reconsideration of the 2008 NAAQS’’) held a public teleconference on January 25, 2010.
