II. Information About the Documents
Two sections of the Clean Air Act
(CAA or the Act) govern the
establishment and revision of the
NAAQS. Section 108 directs the
Administrator to identify and list
certain air pollutants and then issue ‘‘air
quality criteria’’ for those pollutants.
The air quality criteria are 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 such
pollutant in the ambient air . . .’’ (CAA
section 108(a)(2)). Under section 109 of
the Act, the EPA is then to establish
primary (health-based) and secondary
(welfare-based) NAAQS for each
pollutant for which the EPA has issued
air quality criteria. Section 109(d)(1) of
the Act requires periodic review and, if
appropriate, revision of existing air
quality criteria. Revised air quality
criteria are to reflect advances in
scientific knowledge on the effects of
the pollutant on public health and
welfare. Under the same provision, the
EPA is also to periodically review and,
if appropriate, revise the NAAQS, based
on the revised air quality criteria.
The Act additionally requires
appointment of an independent
scientific review committee that is to
periodically review the existing air
quality criteria and NAAQS and to
recommend any new standards and
revisions of existing criteria and
standards as may be appropriate (CAA
section 109(d)(2)(A)–(B)). Since the
early 1980s, the requirement for an
independent scientific review
committee has been fulfilled by the
Clean Air Scientific Advisory
Committee (CASAC).

Presently the EPA is reviewing the air
quality criteria and NAAQS for Pb.1 The
document announced in this notice has
been developed as a follow-up to
Volume 3 of the IRP. Like the IRP, this
Update has been prepared by the EPA’s
Office of Air Quality Planning and
Standards, within the Office of Air and
Radiation. This document will be
available on the EPA’s website at
https://www.epa.gov/naaqs/lead-pb-airquality-standards, accessible under
‘‘Planning Documents’’ for the current
Pb NAAQS review.
The IRP for the current review of the
lead NAAQS is comprised of three
volumes. Volume 3 is the planning
document for quantitative analyses to be
considered in the policy assessment
(PA), including exposure and risk
analyses. Volume 3 was the subject of a
consultation with the CASAC Lead
Panel on June 14, 2023, and is available
on the EPA’s website.2 The Update
provides additional updated detail on
two aspects of the approach planned for
quantitative human exposure and health
risk analyses being performed in this
NAAQS review. Comments on the
Update should be submitted to the
docket, as described above, by
December 9, 2024. A separate Federal
Register notice provided details about
the CASAC Lead Panel consultation
meeting and the process for
participation in the consultation
meeting on this document (89 FR 86801,
October 31, 2024). The EPA will
consider the consultation comments
from the CASAC Lead Panel and public
comments on this Update in its
preparation of quantitative exposure
and risk analyses for the PA. This
document does not represent and
should not be construed to represent
any final EPA policy, viewpoint, or
determination.
