SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The CASAC was established pursuant to the Clean Air Act (CAA) Amendments of 1977, codified at 42 U.S.C. 7409D(d)(2), to provide advice, information, and recommendations to the Administrator on the scientific and technical aspects of issues related to the criteria for air quality standards, research related to air quality, sources of air pollution, and the strategies to attain and maintain air wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with NOTICES_PART 1 SUMMARY: VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:25 Jun 20, 2011 Jkt 223001 quality standards and to prevent significant deterioration of air quality. The CASAC is a Federal Advisory Committee chartered under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5 U.S.C., App. 2. Pursuant to FACA and EPA policy, notice is hereby given that the CASAC Lead Review Panel will hold a public meeting to peer review EPA’s Integrated Science Assessment for Lead (First External Review Draft). The Panel will also provide consultative advice on EPA’s Review of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for Lead: Risk and Exposure Assessment Planning Document. These are being prepared as part of the review of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for Lead. The CASAC Lead Review Panel and the CASAC 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 lead. EPA is currently reviewing the primary (health-based) and secondary (welfarebased) NAAQS for lead. The CASAC Lead Review Panel previously provided consultative advice on EPA’s Integrated Review Plan for the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for Lead (External Review Draft) in a teleconference on May 5, 2011 (76 FR 21346–21347) as reported in a letter to the EPA Administrator, dated May 25, 2011 (EPA–CASAC–11–007). The Integrated Science Assessment (ISA) provides a concise review, synthesis and evaluation of the most policy-relevant science, including key science judgments that are important to the design and scope of exposure and risk assessments, as well as other aspects of the NAAQS review. The risk/ exposure assessment planning document considers the extent to which information and conclusions presented in the ISA provide support for the development of quantitative assessments of risk and exposure for health and/or welfare effects. Availability of Meeting Materials: Agendas and materials in support of the meeting will be placed on the CASAC Web site at https://www.epa.gov/casac in advance of the meeting. For technical questions and information concerning EPA’s Integrated Science Assessment for Lead (First External Review Draft), please contact Dr. Ellen Kirrane of EPA’s Office of Research and Development at (919) 541–1340, or kirrane.ellen@epa.gov.

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 wishing to provide comment should contact the Designated Federal Officer directly. Oral Statements: In general, individuals or groups requesting an oral presentation at a public meeting will be limited to five minutes. Interested parties should contact Mr. Aaron Yeow, DFO, in writing (preferably via e-mail) at the contact information noted above by July 13, 2011, to be placed on the list of public speakers for the meeting. Written Statements: Written statements should be supplied to the DFO via e-mail at the contact information noted above by July 13, 2011 for the meeting so that the information may be made available to the Panel members for their consideration. Written statements should be supplied in one of the following electronic formats: Adobe Acrobat PDF, MS Word, MS PowerPoint, or Rich Text files in IBM– PC/Windows 98/2000/XP format. It is the SAB Staff Office general policy to post written comments on the Web page for the advisory meeting or teleconference. Submitters are requested to provide an unsigned version of each document because the SAB Staff Office does not publish documents with signatures on its Web sites. Members of the public should be aware that their personal contact information, if included in any written comments, may be posted to the CASAC Web site. Copyrighted material will not be posted without explicit permission of the copyright holder.

ACTION: Notice of Availability. AGENCY: This notice announces applicability determinations, alternative monitoring decisions, and regulatory interpretations that EPA has made under the New Source Performance Standards (NSPS); the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP); and the Stratospheric Ozone Protection Program. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: An electronic copy of each complete document posted on the Applicability Determination Index (ADI) database system is available on the Internet through the Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance (OECA) Web site at: https://www.epa.gov/compliance/ monitoring/programs/caa/adi.html. The document may be located by control number, date, author, subpart, or subject search. For questions about the ADI or this notice, contact Maria Malave at EPA wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with NOTICES_PART 1 SUMMARY: The General Provisions to the NSPS in 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 60 and the General Provisions to the NESHAP in 40 CFR part 61 provide that a source owner or operator may request a determination of whether certain intended actions constitute the commencement of construction, reconstruction, or modification. EPA’s written responses to these inquiries are commonly referred to as applicability determinations. See 40 CFR 60.5 and 61.06. Although the part 63 NESHAP [which includes Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) standards] and section 111(d) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) regulations contain no specific regulatory provision that sources may request applicability determinations, EPA responds to written inquiries regarding applicability for the part 63 and section 111(d) programs as well. The NSPS and NESHAP also allow sources to seek permission to use monitoring or recordkeeping that are different from the promulgated requirements. See 40 CFR 60.13(i), 61.14(g), 63.8(b)(1), 63.8(f), and 63.10(f). EPA’s written responses to these inquiries are commonly referred to as alternative monitoring decisions. Furthermore, EPA responds to written inquiries about the broad range of NSPS and NESHAP regulatory requirements as they pertain to a whole source category. These inquiries may pertain, for example, to the type of sources to which the regulation applies, or to the testing, monitoring, recordkeeping, or reporting requirements contained in the regulation. EPA’s written responses to these inquiries are commonly referred to as regulatory interpretations. EPA currently compiles EPA-issued NSPS and NESHAP applicability determinations, alternative monitoring decisions, and regulatory interpretations, and posts them on the ADI on a quarterly basis. In addition, the ADI contains EPA-issued responses to requests pursuant to the stratospheric ozone regulations, contained in 40 CFR part 82. The ADI is an electronic index on the Internet with over one thousand EPA letters and memoranda pertaining to the applicability, monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements of the NSPS, NESHAP, and stratospheric ozone regulations. The letters and memoranda may be searched by date, office of issuance, subpart, citation, control number, or by string word searches. Today’s notice comprises a summary of 47 such documents added to the ADI on May 25, 2011. The subject and header of each letter and memorandum are listed in this notice, as well as a brief abstract of the letter or memorandum. Complete copies of these documents may be obtained from the ADI through the OECA Web site at: https:// www.epa.gov/compliance/monitoring/ programs/caa/adi.html Summary of Headers and Abstracts The following table identifies the database control number for each document posted on the ADI database system on May 25, 2011; the applicable category; the subpart(s) of 40 CFR part 60, 61, or 63 (as applicable) covered by the document; and the title of the document, which provides a brief description of the subject matter. We have also included an abstract of each document identified with its control number after the table. These abstracts are provided solely to alert the public to possible items of interest and are not intended as substitutes for the full text of the documents. This notice does not change the status of any document with respect to whether it is ‘‘of nationwide scope or effect’’ for purposes of section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act. For example, this notice does not make an applicability determination for a particular source into a nationwide rule. Neither does it purport to make any document that was previously nonbinding into a binding document.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The CASAC was established pursuant to the 
Clean Air Act (CAA) Amendments of 1977, codified at 42 U.S.C. 
7409D(d)(2), to provide advice, information, and recommendations to the 
Administrator on the scientific and technical aspects of issues related 
to the criteria for air quality standards, research related to air 
quality, sources of air pollution, and the strategies to attain and 
maintain air quality standards and to prevent significant deterioration 
of air quality. The CASAC is a Federal Advisory Committee chartered 
under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5 U.S.C., App. 2. 
Pursuant to FACA and EPA policy, notice is hereby given that the CASAC 
Lead Review Panel will hold a public meeting to peer review EPA's 
Integrated Science Assessment for Lead (First External Review Draft). 
The Panel will also provide consultative advice on EPA's Review of the 
National Ambient Air Quality Standards for Lead: Risk and Exposure 
Assessment Planning Document. These are being prepared as part of the 
review of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for Lead. The 
CASAC Lead Review Panel and the CASAC 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 lead. EPA is 
currently reviewing the primary (health-based) and secondary (welfare-
based) NAAQS for lead. The CASAC Lead Review Panel previously provided 
consultative advice on EPA's Integrated Review Plan for the National 
Ambient Air Quality Standards for Lead (External Review Draft) in a 
teleconference on May 5, 2011 (76 FR 21346-21347) as reported in a 
letter to the EPA Administrator, dated May 25, 2011 (EPA-CASAC-11-007).
    The Integrated Science Assessment (ISA) provides a concise review, 
synthesis and evaluation of the most policy-relevant science, including 
key science judgments that are important to the design and scope of 
exposure and risk assessments, as well as other aspects of the NAAQS 
review. The risk/exposure assessment planning document considers the 
extent to which information and conclusions presented in the ISA 
provide support for the development of quantitative assessments of risk 
and exposure for health and/or welfare effects.
    Availability of Meeting Materials: Agendas and materials in support 
of the meeting will be placed on the CASAC Web site at https://www.epa.gov/casac in advance of the meeting. For technical questions 
and information concerning EPA's Integrated Science Assessment for Lead 
(First External Review Draft), please contact Dr. Ellen Kirrane of 
EPA's Office of Research and Development at (919) 541-1340, or 
kirrane.ellen@epa.gov. For technical questions and information 
concerning EPA's Review of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards 
for Lead: Risk and Exposure Assessment Planning Document, please

(919) 541-0729, or murphy.deirdre@epa.gov.
    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 wishing to provide comment should contact the Designated Federal 
Officer directly.
    Oral Statements: In general, individuals or groups requesting an 
oral presentation at a public meeting will be limited to five minutes. 
Interested parties should contact Mr. Aaron Yeow, DFO, in writing 
(preferably via e-mail) at the contact information noted above by July 
13, 2011, to be placed on the list of public speakers for the meeting.
    Written Statements: Written statements should be supplied to the 
DFO via e-mail at the contact information noted above by July 13, 2011 
for the meeting so that the information may be made available to the 
Panel members for their consideration. Written statements should be 
supplied in one of the following electronic formats: Adobe Acrobat PDF, 
MS Word, MS PowerPoint, or Rich Text files in IBM-PC/Windows 98/2000/XP 
format. It is the SAB Staff Office general policy to post written 
comments on the Web page for the advisory meeting or teleconference. 
Submitters are requested to provide an unsigned version of each 
document because the SAB Staff Office does not publish documents with 
signatures on its Web sites. Members of the public should be aware that 
their personal contact information, if included in any written 
comments, may be posted to the CASAC Web site. Copyrighted material 
will not be posted without explicit permission of the copyright holder.
