triennial review process defined in
section 303(c)(1) of the CWA, the states
and authorized tribes are responsible for
maintaining and revising WQS.
Standards consist of designated uses,
water quality criteria to protect those
uses, a policy for antidegradation, and
may include general policies for
application and implementation.
Section 303(c)(1) requires states and
authorized tribes to review and modify,
if appropriate, their WQS at least once
every three years. States and authorized
tribes must adopt water quality criteria
that protect designated uses. Consistent
with EPA’s regulations at 40 CFR
131.11(a), protective criteria must be
based on a sound scientific rationale
and contain sufficient parameters or
constituents to protect the designated
uses. Criteria may be expressed in either
narrative or numeric form. States and
authorized tribes have four options
when adopting water quality criteria for
which EPA has published section 304(a)
criteria. They may: (1) Establish
numerical values based on
recommended section 304(a) criteria; (2)
Adopt section 304(a) criteria modified
to reflect site-specific conditions; (3)
Adopt criteria derived using other
scientifically defensible methods; or (4)
Establish narrative criteria where
numeric criteria cannot be established
or to supplement numeric criteria (40
CFR 131.11(b)).
V. Solicitation of Scientific Views
EPA is soliciting additional scientific
views, data, and information regarding
the science and technical approach used
in the derivation of the draft criteria.
Dated: July 17, 2017.
Michael H. Shapiro,
Acting Assistant Administrator.

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. 7409(d)(2), to
review air quality criteria and National
Ambient Air Quality Standards
(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. 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. EPA is currently reviewing
the secondary (welfare-based) ambient
air quality standards for oxides of
nitrogen, oxides of sulfur, and
particulate matter.
Pursuant to FACA and EPA policy,
notice is hereby given that the Chartered
CASAC and the CASAC Secondary
National Ambient Air Quality Standards
Review Panel for Oxides of Nitrogen
and Sulfur will hold a public
teleconference to discuss the draft
CASAC review of the EPA’s Integrated
Science Assessment for Oxides of
Nitrogen, Oxides of Sulfur, and
Particulate Matter—Ecological Criteria
(First External Review Draft—February
2017). The CASAC Secondary National
Ambient Air Quality Standards Review
Panel for Oxides of Nitrogen and Sulfur
and the CASAC will comply with the
provisions of FACA and all appropriate
SAB Staff Office procedural policies.
Technical Contacts: Any technical
questions concerning the Integrated
Science Assessment for Oxides of
Nitrogen, Oxides of Sulfur, and
Particulate Matter—Ecological Criteria
(First External Review Draft—February
2017) should be directed to Dr. Tara
Greaver (greaver.tara@epa.gov), EPA
Office of Research and Development.
Availability of Meeting Materials:
Prior to the teleconference, the
teleconference agenda, draft panel
report, and other materials will be
available on the CASAC Web page at
https://www.epa.gov/casac/.
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 on the
topic of this advisory activity for the
CASAC 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 follow the instructions below to
submit comments.
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. Thomas Armitage,
DFO, in writing (preferably via email) at
the contact information noted above by
August 24, 2017, to be placed on the list
of public speakers.
Written Statements: Written
statements will be accepted throughout
the advisory process; however, for
timely consideration by CASAC
members, statements should be
supplied to the DFO (preferably via
email) at the contact information noted
above by August 24, 2017. 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 Dr. Thomas
Armitage at (202) 564–2155 or
armitage.thomas@epa.gov. To request
accommodation of a disability, please
contact Dr. Armitage preferably at least
ten days prior to the teleconference to
give EPA as much time as possible to
process your request.
