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), in part 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 PM Panel and the CASAC will comply with the provisions of FACA and all appropriate SAB Staff Office procedural policies. 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 PM. EPA is currently reviewing the NAAQS for PM. Accordingly, the SAB Staff Office solicited nominations for the CASAC PM Panel on February 4, 2015 (80 FR 6086–6089). Membership of the Panel is listed at https:// yosemite.epa.gov/sab/sabpeople.nsf/ WebExternalSubCommitteeRosters? OpenView&committee= CASAC&subcommittee=CASAC Particulate Matter Review Panel (2015– 2018). EPA will develop several documents in support of its review of the NAAQS for PM, drafts of which will be subject to review or consultation by the CASAC panel.

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. 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 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 Mr. Aaron Yeow, DFO, in writing (preferably via email) at the contact information noted above by May 16, 2016, 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 May 16, 2016, so that the information may be made available to the Panel members for their consideration. 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.

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), in part 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 is a Federal Advisory Committee chartered 
under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5 U.S.C., App. 2. 
Pursuant to FACA and EPA policy, notice is hereby given that the CASAC 
PM Panel will hold a public meeting to peer review EPA's Draft 
Integrated Review Plan for the National Ambient Air Quality Standards 
for Particulate Matter. The CASAC PM Panel and the CASAC will comply 
with the provisions of FACA and all appropriate SAB Staff Office 
procedural policies.
    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 PM. EPA is 
currently reviewing the NAAQS for PM. Accordingly, the SAB Staff Office 
solicited nominations for the CASAC PM Panel on February 4, 2015 (80 FR 
6086-6089). Membership of the Panel is listed at https://yosemite.epa.gov/sab/sabpeople.nsf/WebExternalSubCommitteeRosters?OpenView&committee=CASAC&subcommittee=CASAC Particulate Matter Review Panel (2015-2018).
    EPA will develop several documents in support of its review of the 
NAAQS for PM, drafts of which will be subject to review or consultation 
by the CASAC panel. These documents include the Draft Integrated Review 
Plan for the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for Particulate 
Matter; an Integrated Science Assessment (ISA); Health and Welfare Risk 
and Exposure Assessment (REA) Planning Documents; Health and/or Welfare 
REAs, as warranted; and a Policy Assessment (PA). The purpose of the 
teleconference announced in this notice is for the CASAC PM Panel to 
peer review the Draft Integrated Review Plan for the National Ambient 
Air Quality Standards for Particulate Matter.
    Availability of Meeting Materials: Agendas and materials in support 
of this meeting will be placed on the EPA Web site at https://www.epa.gov/casac in advance of the meeting. For technical questions 
and information concerning the Draft PM Integrated Review Plan, please

541-1167 or jenkins.scott@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 comments for a federal advisory committee to consider 
as it develops advice for EPA. 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 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 Mr. Aaron Yeow, DFO, in writing (preferably via email) at the 
contact information noted above by May 16, 2016, 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 May 16, 2016, 
so that the information may be made available to the Panel members for 
their consideration. 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 without explicit permission of the 
copyright holder.
    Accessibility: For information on access or services for 
individuals with disabilities, please contact Mr. Aaron Yeow at (202) 
564-2050 or yeow.aaron@epa.gov. To request accommodation of a 
disability, please contact Mr. Yeow
