ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) Science Advisory Board
(SAB) Staff Office announces a public
teleconference of the Clean Air
Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC)
Augmented Sulfur Oxides Primary
National Ambient Air Quality Standards
(NAAQS) Review Panel to discuss its
draft review of EPA’s Integrated Review
Plan for the Primary National Ambient
Air Quality Standard for Sulfur Dioxide
(External Review Draft).
DATES: The CASAC will hold a
teleconference on Wednesday, June 11,
2014, from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
(Eastern Time).
ADDRESSES: The CASAC public
teleconference will take place via

or email at wong.diana-M@epa.gov.
General information concerning the
CASAC can be found on the EPA Web
site at https://www.epa.gov/casac.
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 review air quality criteria and
NAAQS and recommend any new
sroberts on DSK5SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

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 sulfur.
EPA is currently reviewing the primary
(health-based) NAAQS for sulfur
dioxide (SO2), as an indicator for health
effects caused by the presence of oxides
of sulfur in the ambient air and has
requested CASAC advice.
For purposes of the review of the
sulfur oxides air quality criteria for
health and the primary NAAQS for
sulfur dioxide, the CASAC Augmented
Sulfur Oxides Review Panel was formed
following a request for public
nominations of experts (78 FR 43880—
43881, July 22, 2013), and held a public
teleconference on April 22, 2014 (as
noticed in 79 FR 16325–16326) to peer
review EPA’s Integrated Review Plan for
the Primary National Ambient Air
Quality Standard for Sulfur Dioxide
(External Review Draft- March 2014).

Pursuant to FACA and EPA policy,
notice is hereby given that the CASAC
Augmented Sulfur Oxides Primary
NAAQS Review Panel will hold a
public teleconference to discuss
CASAC’s draft review of this EPA
document. The CASAC Augmented
Sulfur Oxides Review Panel will
comply with the provisions of FACA
and all appropriate SAB Staff Office
procedural policies.
Technical Contacts: Any technical
questions concerning the Integrated
Review Plan for the Primary National
Ambient Air Quality Standard for Sulfur
Dioxide (External Review Draft—March
2014) should be directed to Dr. Michael
Stewart (stewart.michael@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 relevant 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
on a public teleconference will be
limited to three 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 Dr. Diana Wong, DFO, in
writing (preferably via email) at the
contact information noted above by June
4, 2014 to be placed on the list of public
speakers. Written Statements: Written
statements should be supplied to Dr.
Diana Wong, DFO, via email at the
contact information noted above by June
4, 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 advisory meetings or
teleconferences. 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

disabilities, please contact Dr. Diana
Wong at (202) 564–2049 or wong.dianaM@epa.gov. To request accommodation
of a disability, please contact Dr. Diana
Wong preferably at least ten days prior
to the teleconference to give EPA as
much time as possible to process your
request.
