(EPA) approval of the City of Grand
Rapids’ request to revise its General
Pretreatment Regulations for Existing

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
October 13, 2005, the final Cross-Media
Electronic Reporting Rule (CROMERR)
was published in the Federal Register
(70 FR 59848) and codified as part 3 of
title 40 of the CFR. CROMERR
establishes electronic reporting as an
acceptable regulatory alternative to
paper reporting and establishes
requirements to assure that electronic
documents are as legally dependable as
their paper counterparts. Subpart D of
CROMERR requires that state, tribal or
local government agencies that receive,
or wish to begin receiving electronic
reports under their EPA-authorized
programs must apply to EPA for a
revision or modification of those
programs and obtain EPA approval.
Subpart D provides standards for such
approvals based on consideration of the
electronic document receiving systems
that the state, tribe, or local government
will use to implement the electronic
reporting. Additionally, § 3.1000(b)
through (e) of 40 CFR part 3, subpart D
provides special procedures for program
revisions and modifications to allow
electronic reporting to be used at the
option of the state, tribe or local
government in place of procedures
available under existing programspecific authorization regulations. An
application submitted under the subpart
D procedures must show that the state,
tribe or local government has sufficient
legal authority to implement the
electronic reporting components of the
programs covered by the application
and will use electronic document
receiving systems that meet the
applicable subpart D requirements.
On October 23, 2012, the City of
Grand Rapids Environmental Services
Department (Grand Rapids ESD)
submitted an application titled
‘‘LinkoExchange System’’ for revision of
its EPA-authorized authorized part 403
program under title 40 CFR. EPA
reviewed Grand Rapids ESD’s request to
revise its EPA-authorized part 403—
General Pretreatment Regulations for
Existing and New Sources of Pollution
program and, based on this review, EPA
determined that the application met the
standards for approval of authorized
program revision set out in 40 CFR part
3, subpart D. In accordance with 40 CFR
3.1000(d), this notice of EPA’s decision
to approve Grand Rapids ESD’s request
to revise its Part 403—General
Pretreatment Regulations for Existing
and New Sources of Pollution program
to allow electronic reporting under 40
CFR part 403 is being published in the
Federal Register.
Grand Rapids ESD was notified of
EPA’s determination to approve its
application with respect to the
authorized program listed above.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
CASAC was established pursuant to the
Clean Air Act (CAA) Amendments of
1977, codified at 42 U.S.C. 7409(d)(2), to
review air quality criteria and NAAQS
and recommend any new NAAQS and
revisions of existing criteria and
NAAQS as may be appropriate. The
CASAC shall also 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 of adverse effects
which may result from various strategies
to attain and maintain air quality
standards. The CASAC is a Federal
Advisory Committee chartered under
the Federal Advisory Committee Act
(FACA), 5 U.S.C., App. 2. 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 oxides of nitrogen.
EPA is currently reviewing the primary
(health-based) NAAQS for nitrogen
dioxide (NO2), as an indicator for health

effects caused by the presence of oxides
of nitrogen in the ambient air.
For purposes of the review of the
oxides of nitrogen air quality criteria for
health and the primary NAAQS for
nitrogen dioxide, the CASAC Oxides of
Nitrogen Primary National Ambient Air
Quality Standards Review Panel was
formed following a request for public
nominations of experts (77 FR 63827,
October 17, 2012). Pursuant to FACA
and EPA policy, notice is hereby given
that the CASAC Oxides of Nitrogen
Primary NAAQS Review Panel will hold
a public meeting to peer review EPA’s
Integrated Science Assessment (ISA) for
Oxides of Nitrogen—Health Criteria
(External Review Draft—November
2013) and Integrated Review Plan for the
Primary National Ambient Air Quality
Standards for Nitrogen Dioxide
(External Review Draft). The CASAC
Oxides of Nitrogen Primary NAAQS
Review Panel and the CASAC will
comply with the provisions of FACA
and all appropriate SAB Staff Office
procedural policies.
The CASAC Oxides of Nitrogen
Primary NAAQS Review Panel
previously provided individual
consultative comments on EPA’s Draft
Plan for the Development of the
Integrated Science Assessment for
Nitrogen Oxides—Health Criteria (May
2013) as reported in a letter to the EPA
Administrator, dated June 18, 2013
(EPA–CASAC–13–006).
Technical Contacts: Any technical
questions concerning the Integrated
Science Assessment for Oxides of
Nitrogen—Health Criteria (External
Review Draft—November 2013) should
be directed to Dr. Molini Patel
(patel.molini@epa.gov) and technical
questions concerning the Integrated
Review Plan for the Primary National
Ambient Air Quality Standards for
Nitrogen Dioxide (External Review
Draft) should be directed to Ms. Beth
Hassett-Sipple (hassett-sipple.beth@

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. Interested
members of the public may submit
relevant written or oral information on
the topic of this advisory activity, and/
or the group conducting the activity, for
the CASAC to consider during the
advisory process. 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 DFO directly. Oral
Statements: In general, individuals or
groups requesting an oral presentation
at a public meeting will be limited to
five minutes. Each person making an
oral statement should consider
providing written comments as well as
their oral statement so that the points
presented orally can be expanded upon
in writing. Interested parties should
contact Mr. Aaron Yeow, DFO, in
writing (preferably via email) at the
contact information noted above by
March 5, 2014 to be placed on the list
of public speakers. Written Statements:
Written statements should be supplied
to the DFO via email at the contact
information noted above by March 5,
2014 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
