II. Information About the Document
Two sections of the Clean Air Act
(CAA) govern the establishment and
revision of the NAAQS. Section 108 (42
U.S.C. 7408) directs the Administrator
to identify and list certain air pollutants
and then to issue air quality criteria for
those pollutants. The Administrator is
to list those air pollutants that in her
‘‘judgment, cause or contribute to air
pollution which may reasonably be
anticipated to endanger public health or
welfare;’’ ‘‘the presence of which in the
ambient air results from numerous or
diverse mobile or stationary sources;’’
and ‘‘for which * * * [the
Administrator] plans to issue air quality
criteria * * *.’’ Air quality criteria are
intended 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 * * * ’’ (42 U.S.C. 7408(b)). Under
section 109 (42 U.S.C. 7409), the EPA
establishes primary (health-based) and
secondary (welfare-based) NAAQS for
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:58 Sep 21, 2016
Jkt 238001
pollutants for which air quality criteria
are issued. Section 109(d) requires
periodic review and, if appropriate,
revision of existing air quality criteria.
The revised air quality criteria reflect
advances in scientific knowledge on the
effects of the pollutant on public health
or welfare. The EPA is also required to
periodically review and revise the
NAAQS, if appropriate, based on the
revised criteria. Section 109(d)(2)
requires that an independent scientific
review committee ‘‘shall complete a
review of the criteria * * * and the
national primary and secondary ambient
air quality standards * * * and shall
recommend to the Administrator any
new * * * standards and revisions of
the existing criteria and standards as
may be appropriate * * *.’’ Since the
early 1980s, this independent review
function has been performed by the
CASAC.
Presently, the EPA is reviewing the
primary NAAQS for NO2. The first draft
Integrated Science Assessment for
Oxides of Nitrogen (Health Criteria)
(ISA) was released on November 22,
2013 (78 FR 70040), and the draft
Integrated Review Plan for the Primary
NAAQS for Nitrogen Dioxide (IRP) was
released on February 6, 2014 (79 FR
7184). Both documents were reviewed
by the CASAC at a public meeting in
March 2014, announced in a separate
notice (79 FR 8701, February 13, 2014).
The final IRP was released in June 2014
(79 FR 36801, June 30, 2014) and is
available at https://www.epa.gov/ttn/
naaqs/standards/nox/s_nox_2012_
pd.html. The second draft ISA was
made available to both the CASAC and
the public (80 FR 5110, January 30,
2015), and was reviewed in addition to
the Risk and Exposure Assessment
Planning Document (REA Planning
Document) (80 FR 27304, May 13, 2015)
at a public meeting in June 2015 (80 FR
22993, April 24, 2015). The final ISA
was then released in January 2016 (81
FR 4910, January 28, 2016) after taking
into consideration the CASAC’s advice
and public comments.
The PA, when final, will serve to
‘‘bridge the gap’’ between the scientific
information and the judgments required
of the Administrator in determining
whether to retain or revise the existing
primary NAAQS for NO2, and, if
revision is considered, what revisions
may be appropriate. The draft PA
announced today builds upon
information presented in the final ISA
and the REA Planning Document. The
draft PA will be available on or about
September 16, 2016, through the
agency’s Technology Transfer Network
(TTN) Web site at https://

The EPA is soliciting advice and
recommendations from the CASAC by
means of a review of this draft
document at an upcoming public
meeting of the CASAC, scheduled for
November 9–10, 2016. Information

3. Environmental justice. EPA seeks to
achieve environmental justice, the fair
treatment and meaningful involvement
of any group, including minority and/or
low income populations, in the
development, implementation, and
enforcement of environmental laws,
regulations, and policies. To help
address potential environmental justice
issues, the Agency seeks information on
any groups or segments of the
population who, as a result of their
location, cultural practices, or other
factors, may have atypical or
disproportionately high and adverse
human health impacts or environmental
effects from exposure to the pesticide
discussed in this document, compared
to the general population.
II. Authority
EPA is conducting its registration
review of malathion pursuant to section
3(g) of the Federal Insecticide,
Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA)
(7 U.S.C. 136a(g)) and the Procedural
Regulations for Registration Review at
40 CFR part 155, subpart C. FIFRA
section 3(g) provides, among other
things, that the registrations of
pesticides are to be reviewed every 15
years. Under FIFRA, a pesticide product
may be registered or remain registered
only if it meets the statutory standard
for registration given in FIFRA section
3(c)(5) (7 U.S.C. 136a(c)(5)). When used
in accordance with widespread and
commonly recognized practice, the
pesticide product must perform its
PO 00000
Frm 00021
Fmt 4703

65355
intended function without unreasonable
adverse effects on the environment; that
is, without any unreasonable risk to
man or the environment, or a human
dietary risk from residues that result
from the use of a pesticide in or on food.
III. Registration Review
As directed by FIFRA section 3(g),
EPA is reviewing the pesticide
registrations for malathion to ensure
that they continue to satisfy the FIFRA
standard for registration—that is, that
malathion can still be used without
unreasonable adverse effects on human
health or the environment. Information
concerning the registration review of
malathion (case 0248) is in the docket,
under Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–OPP–
2009–0317.
Pursuant to 40 CFR 155.53(c), EPA is
providing an opportunity, through this
notice of availability, for interested
parties to provide comments and input
concerning the Agency’s draft human
health risk assessment for malathion.
Such comments and input could
address, among other things, the
Agency’s risk assessment methodologies
and assumptions, as applied to this draft
human health risk assessment. The
Agency will consider all comments
received during the public comment
period and make changes, as
appropriate, to the draft human health
risk assessment. EPA will then issue a
revised risk assessment, explain any
changes to the draft risk assessment, and
respond to comments. In the Federal
Register notice announcing the
availability of the revised risk
assessment, if the revised risk
assessment indicates risks of concern,
the Agency may provide a comment
period for the public to submit
suggestions for mitigating the risk
identified in the revised risk assessment
before developing a proposed
registration review decision for
malathion.
