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 to
establish NAAQS for each pollutant for
which EPA has issued criteria. Section
109(d) of the Act 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 required to
periodically review and revises the
NAAQS, if appropriate, based on the
revised air quality criteria.
Pb 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 and its
supplementary materials provide a
comprehensive assessment of the
current scientific literature pertaining to
known and anticipated effects on public
health and welfare associated with the
presence of the pollutant in the ambient
air, emphasizing information that has
become available since the last air
quality criteria review in order to reflect
the current state of knowledge. As such,
the ISA forms the scientific foundation
for each NAAQS review and is intended
to provide information useful in forming
EPA judgments about the different
elements of the NAAQS. The CASAC,
an independent scientific advisory
committee whose review and advisory
functions are mandated by Section
109(d)(2) of the Clean Air Act, is
charged (among other things) with
independent scientific review of EPA’s
air quality criteria.
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 226001
On February 26, 2010 (75 FR 8934),
EPA formally initiated its current
review of the air quality criteria for Pb,
requesting the submission of recent
scientific information on specified
topics. Soon after, a science policy
workshop was held to identify key
policy issues and questions to frame the
review of the Pb NAAQS (75 FR 20843).
Drawing from the workshop
discussions, a draft ‘‘Integrated Review
Plan for the National Ambient Air
Quality Standards for Lead’’ (EPA–452/
D–11–001) (IRP) was developed and
made available in late March 2011 for
public comment and consultation with
CASAC and was discussed by the
CASAC via a publicly accessible
teleconference consultation on May 5,
2011 (76 FR 20347, 76 FR 21346). The
final IRP was released in December 2011
(76 FR 76972) and is available at https://
www.epa.gov/ttn/naaqs/standards/pb/
s_pb_2010_pd.html.
As part of the science assessment
phase of the review, EPA held a
workshop in December 2010 (75 FR
69078) to discuss, with invited scientific
experts, preliminary draft materials
prepared during the ongoing
development of the Pb ISA. The first
external review draft ISA for Pb was
released on May 6, 2011, and is
available at https://cfpub.epa.gov/ncea/
isa/recordisplay.cfm?deid=226323. The
CASAC Pb Review Panel met at a public
meeting on July 20, 2011, to review the
draft ISA (76 FR 36120). Subsequently,
on December 9, 2011, the CASAC panel
provided a consensus letter for their
review to the Administrator of the EPA
https://yosemite.epa.gov/sab/
sabproduct.nsf/WebCASAC/
D3E2E8488025344D85257
9610068A8A1/$File/EPA-CASAC-12002-unsigned.pdf). The second external
review draft ISA for Pb will be
discussed at a public meeting of the
CASAC Pb Review Panel, and public
comments received will be provided to
the CASAC panel. A future Federal
Register notice will inform the public of
the exact date and time of that CASAC
meeting.

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 to establish NAAQS for each
pollutant for which EPA has issued criteria. Section 109(d) of the Act
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
required to periodically review and revises the NAAQS, if appropriate,
based on the revised air quality criteria.
Pb 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 and
its supplementary materials provide a comprehensive assessment of the
current scientific literature pertaining to known and anticipated
effects on public health and welfare associated with the presence of
the pollutant in the ambient air, emphasizing information that has
become available since the last air quality criteria review in order to
reflect the current state of knowledge. As such, the ISA forms the
scientific foundation for each NAAQS review and is intended to provide
information useful in forming EPA judgments about the different
elements of the NAAQS. The CASAC, an independent scientific advisory
committee whose review and advisory functions are mandated by Section
109(d)(2) of the Clean Air Act, is charged (among other things) with
independent scientific review of EPA's air quality criteria.
On February 26, 2010 (75 FR 8934), EPA formally initiated its
current review of the air quality criteria for Pb, requesting the
submission of recent scientific information on specified topics. Soon
after, a science policy workshop was held to identify key policy issues
and questions to frame the review of the Pb NAAQS (75 FR 20843).
Drawing from the workshop discussions, a draft ``Integrated Review Plan
for the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for Lead'' (EPA-452/D-
11-001) (IRP) was developed and made available in late March 2011 for
public comment and consultation with CASAC and was discussed by the
CASAC via a publicly accessible teleconference consultation on May 5,
2011 (76 FR 20347, 76 FR 21346). The final IRP was released in December
2011 (76 FR 76972) and is available at https://www.epa.gov/ttn/naaqs/standards/pb/s_pb_2010_pd.html.
As part of the science assessment phase of the review, EPA held a
workshop in December 2010 (75 FR 69078) to discuss, with invited
scientific experts, preliminary draft materials prepared during the
ongoing development of the Pb ISA. The first external review draft ISA
for Pb was released on May 6, 2011, and is available at https://cfpub.epa.gov/ncea/isa/recordisplay.cfm?deid=226323. The CASAC Pb
Review Panel met at a public meeting on July 20, 2011, to review the
draft ISA (76 FR 36120). Subsequently, on December 9, 2011, the CASAC
panel provided a consensus letter for their review to the Administrator
of the EPA https://yosemite.epa.gov/sab/sabproduct.nsf/WebCASAC/
D3E2E8488025344D852579610068A8A1/$File/EPA-CASAC-12-002-unsigned.pdf).
The second external review draft ISA for Pb will be discussed at a
public meeting of the CASAC Pb Review Panel, and public comments
received will be provided to the CASAC panel. A future Federal Register
notice will inform the public of the exact date and time of that CASAC
meeting.

Instructions: Direct your comments to Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-ORD-
2011-0051. Please ensure that your comments are submitted within the
specified comment period. Comments received after the closing date will
be marked ``late,'' and may only be considered if time permits. It is
EPA's policy to include all comments it receives in the public docket
without change and to make the comments available online at
www.regulations.gov, including any personal information provided,
unless a comment includes information claimed to be Confidential
Business Information (CBI) or other information whose disclosure is
restricted by statute. Do not submit information through
www.regulations.gov or email that you consider to be CBI or otherwise
protected. The www.regulations.gov Web site is an ``anonymous access''
system, which means EPA will not know your identity or contact
information unless you provide it in the body of your comment. If you
send an email comment directly to EPA without going through
www.regulations.gov, your email address will be automatically captured
and included as part of the comment that is placed in the public docket
and made available on the Internet. If you submit an electronic
comment, EPA recommends that you include your name and other contact
information in the body of your comment and with any disk or CD-ROM you
submit. If EPA cannot read your comment due to technical difficulties
and cannot contact you for clarification, EPA may not be able to
consider your comment. Electronic files should avoid the use of special
characters, any form of encryption, and be free of any defects or
viruses. For additional information
