pollutant for which EPA has issued 

criteria. Section 109(d) of the Act 

subsequently requires periodic review 

and, if appropriate, revision of existing 

air quality criteria to reflect advances in 

scientific knowledge on the effects of 

the pollutant on public health or 

welfare. EPA is also to revise the 

NAAQS, if appropriate, based on the 

revised air quality criteria. 

Ozone (O3) is one of six principal (or 

‘‘criteria’’) pollutants for which EPA has 

established NAAQS. Periodically, EPA 

reviews the scientific basis for these 

standards by preparing an Integrated 

Science Assessment (ISA) (formerly 

called an Air Quality Criteria 

Document). The ISA, in conjunction 

with additional technical and policy 

assessments, provide the scientific basis 

for EPA decisions on the adequacy of 

the current NAAQS and the 

appropriateness of possible alternative 

standards. The Clean Air Scientific 

Advisory Committee (CASAC), an 

independent science advisory 

committee whose existence and whose 

review and advisory functions are 

mandated by Section 109(d)(2) of the 

Clean Air Act, is charged (among other 

things) with independent scientific 

review of EPA’s air quality criteria. 

On Sep 29, 2008 (73 FR 56581), EPA 

formally initiated its current review of 

the air quality criteria for ozone, 

requesting the submission of recent 

scientific information on specified 

topics. A draft of EPA’s ‘‘Integrated 

Review Plan for the Ozone National 

Ambient Air Quality Standards Review’’ 

(EPA/452/P–09/001) was made available 

in September 2009 for public comment 

and was discussed by the CASAC via a 

publicly accessible teleconference 

consultation on November 13, 2009 

(74 FR 54562). In August 2010, EPA 

held a workshop to discuss, with 

invited scientific experts, initial draft 

materials prepared in the development 

of the ISA (75 FR 42085). 

The first external review draft ISA for 

Ozone and Related Photochemical 

Oxidants will be discussed at a public 

meeting for review by CASAC, and 

public comments received will be 

provided to the CASAC review panel. A 

future Federal Register notice will 

inform the public of the exact date and 

time of that CASAC meeting.

Notice of Issuance of Prevention of 

Significant Deterioration and Federal 

Operating Permits to Grand Casino 

Hinckley 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces that, 

on December 30, 2010, pursuant to title 

V of the Clean Air Act, EPA issued a 

title V Permit to Operate (title V permit) 

to the Mille Lacs Band Corporate 

Commission doing business as Grand 

Casino Hinckley. This permit authorizes 

Grand Casino Hinckley to operate three 

diesel-burning generator sets for peak 

load management and backup power at 

its facility in Hinckley, Minnesota. On 

December 30, 2010, pursuant to title I of 

the Clean Air Act, EPA also issued a 

modification of the facility’s existing 

Prevention of Significant Deterioration 

(PSD) permit, also known as an Air 

Quality Construction Permit. The 

modification changes the permit’s 

emissions testing frequency from every 

three years to every five years. The 

facility is located on the Mille Lacs 

Band of Ojibwe Indian Reservation.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

supplemental information is organized 

as follows: 

A. What is the background information? 

B. What is the purpose of this Notice? 

A. What is the background 

information? 

The three engines are Caterpillar 

Model 3516B turbocharged engines, 

each having 16 cylinders. Each engine 

operates at a rated speed of 1,800 

revolutions per minute, produces shaft 

power of 2,593 brake horsepower, and 

drives a 1,825 kilowatt generator to 

produce electricity. When operating at 

capacity, each engine burns 

approximately 130.2 gallons per hour of 

diesel fuel with maximum sulfur 

content of 0.05%. The engines and 

facility are owned by Mille Lacs Band 

Corporate Commission doing business 

as Grand Casino Hinckley. 

EPA received an application for a 

Federal title V Permit on December 8, 

2005. On February 25, 2010, EPA made 

available for public comment a draft 

title V Permit (permit no. V–ML– 

2711500031–2010–01) and a draft 

modification of the PSD permit (permit 

no. PSD–ML–2711500031–2010–02). 

The title V permit incorporated all 

applicable air quality requirements for 

the engines, including the monitoring 

necessary to ensure compliance with 

these requirements. The draft 

modification of the PSD permit was 

issued because the facility, during the 

title V permit application process, 

requested a change to the PSD permit’s 

emissions testing frequency from every 

three years to every five years. EPA 

provided the public with 30 days to 

comment on the draft permits. EPA 

received comments on the title V permit 

from the permit applicant requesting 

minor, clarifying revisions to the permit 

and requesting removal of the initial 

performance testing requirement in light 

of the more stringent testing required by 

the National Emissions Standards for 

Hazardous Air Pollutants, subpart 

ZZZZ. EPA made the minor, clarifying 

revisions and changed the initial 

performance testing requirement’s 

deadline from ‘‘within 180 days of 

issuance of this permit’’ to ‘‘upon 

request of the EPA,’’ which makes this 

term consistent with the PSD permit. 

EPA did not receive comments on the 

modification to the PSD permit. EPA 

finalized the permits and provided 

copies to the applicant pursuant to 40 

CFR 71.11(i). The final permits and 

EPA’s responses to public comments 

can be viewed online at http:// 

yosemite.epa.gov/r5/r5ard.nsf/ 

Tribal+Permits!OpenView. 

B. What is the purpose of this Notice? 

EPA is notifying the public of the 

issuance of the title V and PSD permits 

to Grand Casino Hinckley on December 

30, 2010. The permits became effective 

on January 29, 2011.

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA or Agency) Science 

Advisory Board (SAB) Staff Office 

announces a public teleconference of 

the Clean Air Scientific Advisory 

Committee (CASAC) Ozone Review 

Panel for the Reconsideration of the 

2008 National Ambient Air Quality 

Standard (NAAQS) to continue the 

discussion of their advice regarding 

EPA’s reconsideration of the 2008 

Ozone NAAQS. 

DATES: The CASAC teleconference will 

be held on March 23, 2011 from 9:30 

a.m. to 1:30 p.m. (Eastern Time). 

ADDRESSES: The teleconference will take 

place by telephone only. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Any 

member of the public who wants further 

information concerning the 

teleconferences may contact Dr. Holly 

Stallworth, Designated Federal Officer 

(DFO), EPA Science Advisory Board

information concerning the CASAC may 

be found on the EPA Web site at 

http://www.epa.gov/casac. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: The CASAC was 

established pursuant to the under the 

Clean Air Act (CAA) Amendments of 

1977, codified at 42 U.S.C. 7409D(d)(2), 

to 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 the 

strategies to attain and maintain air 

quality standards and to prevent 

significant deterioration of air quality. 

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 Ozone. As 

described in 75 FR 1381–1382, the 

CASAC Ozone Review Panel conducted 

scientific reviews of EPA’s scientific 

assessments of the health and welfare 

effects of Ozone and other 

Photochemical Oxidants from 2005 

through 2008. On September 16, 2009, 

EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson 

announced her decision to reconsider 

the March 12, 2008 primary and 

secondary Ozone NAAQS to ensure they 

are scientifically sound and protective 

of public health and the environment. 

EPA’s Office of Air and Radiation 

requested the Ozone Review Panel that 

conducted the 2005–2008 review to 

provide comments on EPA’s 2010 

proposed Ozone standards. 

This Panel (renamed ‘‘CASAC Ozone 

Review Panel for the Reconsideration of 

the 2008 NAAQS’’) held a public 

teleconference on January 25, 2010. A 

letter dated February 29, 2010 (EPA–
