SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00065 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 32199 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. The Ozone Review Panel developed its draft report after holding a face-toface meeting on May 19–20, 2011 (as noticed in 76 FR 23809–23810) to review EPA’s draft Integrated Science Assessment. Information about this review activity may be found on the CASAC Web site at https://www.epa.gov/ casac/. Technical Contacts: Any technical questions concerning the Integrated Science Assessment for Ozone and Related Photochemical Oxidants (March 2011) may be directed to Dr. James Brown (brown.james@epa.gov). Availability of Meeting Materials: Prior to the meeting, the draft letter, agenda, public comments and other materials will be accessible through the calendar link on the blue navigation bar at https://www.epa.gov/casac/. 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. Input from the public to the CASAC will have the most impact if it provides specific scientific or technical information or analysis for CASAC panels to consider or if it relates to the clarity or accuracy of the technical information. Members of the public 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 teleconference, interested parties should E:\FR\FM\03JNN1.SGM 03JNN1
