ACTION: Notice of Workshop.
AGENCY:
As part of the review of the
air quality criteria for nitrogen oxides
(NOX) and primary (health-based)
National Ambient Air Quality Standards
(NAAQS) for nitrogen dioxide (NO2),
EPA is announcing a workshop to
evaluate preliminary draft materials that
will inform the development of the NOX
Integrated Science Assessment (ISA) for
health effects. The workshop is being
organized by EPA’s National Center for
Environmental Assessment (NCEA)
within the Office of Research and
Development and will be held on June
11, 2013, in Research Triangle Park,
North Carolina and will be open to
attendance by interested public
observers on a first-come, first-served
basis up to the limits of available space.
DATES: The workshop will be held on
June 11, 2013, beginning at 9:30 a.m.
and ending at 5:00 p.m.
ADDRESSES: The workshop will be held
in the auditorium of EPA’s main
campus, 109 T.W. Alexander Drive,
Research Triangle Park, North Carolina.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Questions regarding information,
registration, and logistics for the
workshop should be directed to Ms.
Brianna Young, telephone: 919–541–
9765; facsimile: 919–541–1818; email:
young.brianna@epa.gov. Questions
regarding the scientific and technical
aspects of the workshop should be
directed to Dr. Molini Patel, telephone:
919–541–1492; facsimile: 919–541–
1818; email: patel.molini@epa.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
such reviews, EPA is to retain or revise
the NAAQS for a given pollutant as
appropriate. As part of these reviews,
NCEA assesses newly available
scientific information and develops ISA
documents (formerly known as Air
Quality Criteria Documents) that
provide the scientific basis for the
reviews of the NAAQS.
NCEA-Research Triangle Park is
holding this workshop to inform the
Agency’s evaluation of the scientific
evidence for the review of the primary
NAAQS for NO2. Section 109(b)(1) of
the CAA defines primary NAAQS as
standards, ‘‘the attainment and
maintenance of which in the judgment
of the Administrator, based on such
criteria and allowing an adequate
margin of safety, are requisite to protect
the public health.’’ EPA intends to
develop a separate ISA, and NAAQS
review, for the secondary (welfarebased) NAAQS for NO2, in conjunction
with a review of the secondary NAAQS
for sulfur dioxide. The purpose of the
workshop is to obtain review of the
scientific content of preliminary draft
materials that will inform the
development of the draft health effects
ISA. Workshop sessions will include
review and discussion of preliminary
draft materials on the atmospheric
chemistry of and human exposure to
NOX as well as health effects evidence
from in vivo and in vitro animal
toxicology, human clinical, and
epidemiology studies. In addition,
roundtable discussions will help
identify key studies or concepts within
each discipline to assist EPA in
integrating relevant literature within
and across disciplines. These
preliminary materials are not being
released as an external draft but will be
used to guide workshop discussions and
inform the development of the draft
health effects ISA. This workshop is
planned to help ensure that the ISA,
once developed, is up-to-date and
focuses on the key evidence to inform
the scientific understanding for the
review of the primary NAAQS for NOX.
EPA is planning to release the first
external review draft health effects ISA
for NOX for review by the Clean Air
Scientific Advisory Committee and the
public in August 2013.
I. Summary of Information About the
Workshop
II. Workshop Information
Section 109(d) of the Clean Air Act
(CAA) requires the U.S. EPA to conduct
periodic reviews of the air quality
criteria for each air pollutant listed
under section 108 of the Act. Based on
Members of the public may attend the
workshop as observers. Space is limited,
and reservations will be accepted on a
first-come, first-served basis.
