academic achievement among English 

learners. This exploratory study will 

describe LIEP characteristics that may 

influence the quality of programs 

delivered to English Learners (EL) in 

grades K through 12. The major purpose 

of this project is to gather data from the 

field that yields an initial portrait of 

well-designed and implemented LIEPs, 

and to provide practical guidance to 

local educators on selecting, designing, 

implementing and evaluating LIEPs. 

This is important because before this, 

there have been no systematic attempts 

to determine the characteristics of LIEPs 

for ELs in kindergarten through grade 12 

and to describe contextual factors that 

contribute to their effectiveness.

1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this 

information to EPA through http:// 

www.regulations.gov or e-mail. Clearly 

mark the part or all of the information 

that you claim to be CBI. For CBI 

information in a disk or CD ROM that 

you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the 

disk or CD ROM as CBI and then 

identify electronically within the disk or 

CD ROM, the specific information that 

is claimed as CBI. In addition to one 

complete version of the comment that 

includes information claimed as CBI, a 

copy of the comment that does not

• Identify the rulemaking by docket 

number and other identifying 

information (subject heading, Federal 

Register date and page number). 

• Follow directions—The agency may 

ask you to respond to specific questions 

or organize comments by referencing a 

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 

or section number. 

• Explain why you agree or disagree; 

suggest alternatives and substitute 

language for your requested changes. 

• Describe any assumptions and 

provide any technical information and/ 

or data that you used. 

• If you estimate potential costs or 

burdens, explain how you arrived at 

your estimate in sufficient detail to 

allow for it to be reproduced. 

• Provide specific examples to 

illustrate your concerns, and suggest 

alternatives. 

• Explain your views as clearly as 

possible, avoiding the use of profanity 

or personal threats. 

• Make sure to submit your 

comments by the comment period 

deadline identified. 

II. Information Specific to This 

Document 

Two sections of the Clean Air Act 

(CAA) govern the establishment and 

revision of the NAAQS. Section 108 (42 

U.S.C. section 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), EPA establishes primary 

(health-based) and secondary (welfarebased) NAAQS for 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 

existing criteria and standards as may be 

appropriate * * * .’’ Since the early 

1980’s, this independent review 

function has been performed by the 

Clean Air Scientific Advisory 

Committee (CASAC). 

Presently, EPA is reviewing the 

NAAQS for Pb.1 The draft document 

announced today is being developed as 

part of the planning phase for the 

review. This phase began with a science 

policy workshop to identify issues and 

questions to frame the review. Drawing 

from the workshop discussions, a draft 

integrated review plan (IRP) has been 

prepared jointly by EPA’s National 

Center for Environmental Assessment, 

within the Office of Research and 

Development, and 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 

Technology Transfer Network (TTN) 

Web site at http://www.epa.gov/ttn/ 

naaqs/standards/pb/s_pb_index.html. 

The document will be accessible in the

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 70 / Tuesday, April 12, 2011 / Notices 20349 

‘‘Documents from Current Review’’ 

section under ‘‘Planning Documents.’’ 

The draft IRP is being made available 

for consultation with CASAC and for 

public comment. Comments should be 

submitted to the docket, as described 

above, by April 28, 2011. The CASAC 

consultation on this planning document 

is scheduled for May 5, 2011. A separate 

Federal Register notice will provide 

details about this meeting and the 

process for participation. The final IRP 

will be prepared in consideration of 

CASAC and public comments. The draft 

document announced today presents the 

current plan and specifies the schedule 

for the entire review, the process for 

conducting the review, and the key 

policy-relevant science issues that will 

guide the review. This draft document 

does not represent and should not be 

construed to represent any final EPA 

policy, viewpoint, or determination.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Information About IRIS 

EPA’s IRIS is a human health 

assessment program that evaluates 

quantitative and qualitative risk 

information on effects that may result 

from exposure to chemical substances 

found in the environment. Through the 

IRIS Program, EPA provides the highest 

quality science-based human health 

assessments to support the Agency’s 

regulatory activities. The IRIS database 

contains information for more than 540 

chemical substances that can be used to 

support the first two steps (hazard 

identification and dose-response 

evaluation) of the risk assessment 

process. When supported by available 

data, IRIS provides oral reference doses 

(RfDs) and inhalation reference 

concentrations (RfCs) for chronic 

noncancer health effects and cancer 

assessments. Combined with specific 

exposure information, government and 

private entities use IRIS to help 

characterize public health risks of 

chemical substances in a site-specific 

situation and thereby support risk
