The Technical Conference will be held on Tuesday, October 25, 2011, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. (EST) in the Commission Meeting Room at the Commission’s headquarters at 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426. The Technical Conference will be open for the public to attend and advance registration is not required. The Technical Conference will explore the risks of leaving dial-up intelligent electronic devices that are part of the Bulk-Power System and that use non-routable protocols physically unprotected. The Commission is interested in: (1) Information on the number of Bulk-Power System assets that are networked using non-routable protocols; (2) the proportion of those assets that are currently physically unprotected; (3) the risks associated with leaving such assets physically unprotected; and (4) methods for mitigating such risks. The Technical Conference will also explore monitoring physical access not only when authorized personnel enter a controlled access area, such as the physical security perimeter to critical cyber assets, but also when authorized personnel leave the controlled access area. The Commission is interested in the level of security attained by monitoring both physical ingress and egress into controlled access areas. Those interested in speaking at the conference should notify the Commission by close of business October 7, 2011 by completing an online form describing the topics that they wish to address: https://www.ferc.gov/ whats-new/registration/naerc-10-25speaker-form.asp.

With this document, EPA is opening the public comment period for these registration reviews. Registration review is EPA’s periodic review of pesticide registrations to ensure that each pesticide continues to satisfy the statutory standard for registration, that is, the pesticide can perform its intended function without unreasonable adverse effects on human health or the environment. Registration review dockets contain information that will assist the public in understanding the types of information and issues that the Agency may consider during the course of registration reviews. Through this program, EPA is ensuring that each pesticide’s registration is based on current scientific and other knowledge, including its effects on human health and the environment. EPA is also announcing that the docket for methyl nonyl ketone (MNK), which was planned for September 2011, has been delayed to FY 2012 (Q3). This document also announces the Agency’s intent not to open a registration review docket for puccinia thlaspeos (case number 6013).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Information About the Document

    Section 108 (a) of the Clean Air Act directs the Administrator to 
identify certain pollutants which, among other things, ``cause or 
contribute to air pollution which may reasonably be anticipated to 
endanger public health or welfare'' and to issue air quality criteria 
for them. These air quality criteria are to ``accurately reflect the 
latest scientific knowledge useful in indicating the kind and extent of 
all identifiable effects on public health or welfare which may be 
expected from the presence of [a] pollutant in the ambient air * * *.'' 
Under section 109 of the Act, EPA is then to establish national ambient 
air quality standards (NAAQS) for each pollutant for which EPA has 
issued criteria. Section 109 (d) of the Act subsequently requires 
periodic review and, if appropriate, revision of existing air quality 
criteria to reflect advances in scientific knowledge on the effects of 
the pollutant on public health or welfare. EPA is also to revise the 
NAAQS, if appropriate, based on the revised air quality criteria.
    Ozone (O3) is one of six principal (or ``criteria '') 
pollutants for which EPA has established NAAQS. Periodically, EPA 
reviews the scientific basis for these standards by preparing an 
Integrated Science Assessment (ISA) (formerly called an Air Quality 
Criteria Document). The ISA, in conjunction with additional technical 
and policy assessments, provides the scientific basis for EPA decisions 
on the adequacy of the current NAAQS and the appropriateness of 
possible alternative standards. The Clean Air Scientific Advisory 
Committee (CASAC), an independent science advisory committee whose 
existence and whose review and advisory functions are mandated by 
Section 109 (d) (2) of the Clean Air Act, is charged with the 
independent scientific review of EPA's air quality criteria.
    On September 29, 2008 (73 FR 56581), EPA formally initiated its 
current review of the air quality criteria for ozone, requesting the 
submission of recent scientific information on specified topics. A 
draft of EPA's ``Integrated Review Plan for the Ozone National Ambient 
Air Quality Standards Review'' (EPA/452/P-09/001) was made available in 
September 2009 for public comment and was discussed by the CASAC via a 
publicly accessible teleconference on November 13, 2009 (74 FR 54562). 
In August 2010, EPA held a workshop with invited scientific experts to 
discuss initial draft materials prepared in the development of the ISA 
(75 FR 42085). The first external review draft ISA for Ozone and 
Related Photochemical Oxidants was released on March 4, 2011 (https://cfpub.epa.gov/ncea/isa/recordisplay.cfm?deid=217463). The CASAC panel 
held a public meeting on May 19, 2011 to review the draft ISA (76 FR 
23809). Subsequently, on August 10, 2011, the CASAC panel provided a 
consensus review to the Administrator of the EPA (https://

    The second external review draft ``Integrated Science Assessment 
for Ozone and Related Photochemical Oxidants'' will be discussed at a 
public meeting for review by the CASAC, and public comments received 
will be provided to the CASAC review panel. A future Federal Register 
notice will inform the public of the exact date and time of that CASAC 
meeting.
