Welfare Risk and Exposure Assessment 

for Ozone—First External Review Draft 

(July 20, and Policy Assessment for the 

Review of the Ozone National Ambient 

Air Quality Standards—First External 

Review Draft (August 2012). These EPA 

draft documents are prepared as part of 

the agency’s review of the National 

Ambient Air Quality Standards 

(NAAQS) for ozone. 

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. EPA is currently reviewing the 

primary (health-based) and secondary 

(welfare-based) NAAQS for ozone. The 

CASAC previously reviewed EPA’s first 

external review draft of the Integrated 

Science Assessment for Ozone and 

Related Photochemical Oxidants (March 

2011) as reported in a letter to the EPA 

Administrator, dated August 10, 2011 

(EPA–CASAC–11–009). The CASAC 

also reviewed the second external 

review draft of the Integrated Science 

Assessment for Ozone and Related 

Photochemical Oxidants (September 

2011) as reported in a letter to the EPA 

Administrator, dated March 13, 2012 

(EPA–CASAC–12–004). The CASAC 

Ozone Review Panel 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 Ozone and 

Related Photochemical Oxidants (Third 

External Review Draft) (June 2012) 

should be directed to Dr. James Brown 

(brown.james@epa.gov). Any technical 

questions concerning the Health Risk 

and Exposure Assessment for Ozone— 

First External Review Draft (July 2012) 

or the Welfare Risk and Exposure 

Assessment for Ozone—First External 

Review Draft (July 2012) should be 

directed to Dr. Bryan Hubbell (hubbell.

bryan@epa.gov). Any technical 

questions concerning the Policy 

Assessment for the Review of the Ozone 

National Ambient Air Quality 

Standards—First External Review Draft 

(August 2012) should be directed to Ms.

Availability of Meeting Materials: 

Prior to the meeting, the review 

documents, agenda and other materials 

will be accessible through the calendar 

link on the blue navigation bar at http:// 

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 for a federal advisory 

committee to consider pertaining to 

EPA’s charge to the committee or review 

materials. Input from the public to the 

CASAC will have the most impact if it 

provides specific scientific, technical 

information or analysis or if it relates to 

the clarity or accuracy of the technical 

information for the CASAC’s 

consideration. Members of the public 

wishing to provide comment should 

contact the Designated Federal Officer 

directly. 

Oral Statements: In general, 

individuals or groups requesting an oral 

presentation at a public meeting will be 

limited to five minutes. Interested 

parties should contact Dr. Stallworth, 

DFO, in writing (preferably via email) at 

the contact information noted above by 

August 31, 2012, to be placed on the list 

of public speakers for the meeting. 

Written Statements: Written 

statements should be submitted to the 

DFO via email at the contact 

information noted above by August 31, 

2012 for the meeting so that the 

information may be made available to 

the CASAC Panel for their 

consideration. Written statements 

should be supplied in one of the 

following electronic formats: Adobe 

Acrobat PDF, MS Word, MS 

PowerPoint, or Rich Text files in IBM– 

PC/Windows 98/2000/XP format. It is 

the SAB Staff Office general policy to 

post public 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. Holly 

Stallworth at (202) 564–2073 or 

stallworth.holly@epa.gov. To request 

accommodation of a disability, please 

contact Dr. Stallworth preferably at least 

ten days prior to the meeting to give 

EPA as much time as possible to process 

your request.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Additional Information About the 

Proposed Consent Decree 

The proposed consent decree would 

resolve a lawsuit seeking to compel 

action by the Administrator to take final 

action under section 110(k) of the CAA 

on the Utah SIP submission. The 

proposed consent decree requires EPA 

to sign for publication in the Federal 

Register no later than February 14, 

2013, a final action in which it either 

approves in whole, approves in part and 

disapproves in part, or disapproves in 

whole, the State of Utah’s proposed SIP 

revision for maintenance of the 1997 

eight-hour National Ambient Air 

Quality Standard for ozone in Salt Lake 

and Davis Counties, which Utah 

submitted to EPA on March 22, 2007. 

The proposed consent decree requires 

that, following signature, EPA shall 

promptly deliver the notice to the Office 

of the Federal Register for review and 

publication in the Federal Register. 

After EPA fulfills its obligations under 

the proposed consent decree, the 

consent decree shall be terminated and 

the case dismissed with prejudice. 

For a period of thirty (30) days 

following the date of publication of this 

notice, the Agency will accept written 

comments relating to the proposed 

consent decree from persons who were 

not named as parties or intervenors to 

the litigation in question. EPA or the 

Department of Justice may withdraw or 

withhold consent to the proposed 

consent decree if the comments disclose 

facts or considerations that indicate that 

such consent is inappropriate, 

improper, inadequate, or inconsistent 

with the requirements of the Act. Unless 

EPA or the Department of Justice 

determines that consent to this consent 

decree should be withdrawn, the terms 

of the decree will be affirmed. 

II. Additional Information About 

Commenting on the Proposed Consent 

Decree 

A. How can I get a copy of the consent 

decree? 

The official public docket for this 

action (identified by Docket ID No. 

EPA–HQ–OGC–2012–0569) contains a 

copy of the proposed consent decree. 

The official public docket is available 

for public viewing at the Office of 

Environmental Information (OEI) Docket 

in the EPA Docket Center, EPA West, 

Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave. 

NW., Washington, DC. The EPA Docket 

Center Public Reading Room is open 

from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday 

through Friday, excluding legal 

holidays. The telephone number for the 

Public Reading Room is (202) 566–1744, 

and the telephone number for the OEI 

Docket is (202) 566–1752. 

An electronic version of the public 

docket is available through www.

regulations.gov. You may use www.

regulations.gov to submit or view public 

comments, access the index listing of 

the contents of the official public 

docket, and to access those documents 

in the public docket that are available 

electronically. Once in the system, key 

in the appropriate docket identification 

number then select ‘‘search’’. 

It is important to note that EPA’s 

policy is that public comments, whether 

submitted electronically or in paper, 

will be made available for public 

viewing online at www.regulations.gov 

without change, unless the comment 

contains copyrighted material, CBI, or 

other information whose disclosure is 

restricted by statute. Information 

claimed as CBI and other information 

whose disclosure is restricted by statute 

is not included in the official public 

docket or in the electronic public 

docket. EPA’s policy is that copyrighted 

material, including copyrighted material 

contained in a public comment, will not 

be placed in EPA’s electronic public 

docket but will be available only in 

printed, paper form in the official public 

docket. Although not all docket 

materials may be available 

electronically, you may still access any 

of the publicly available docket 

materials through the EPA Docket 

Center. 

B. How and to whom do I submit 

comments? 

You may submit comments as 

provided in the ADDRESSES section. 

Please ensure that your comments are 

submitted within the specified comment 

period. Comments received after the 

close of the comment period will be 

marked ‘‘late.’’ EPA is not required to 

consider these late comments. 

If you submit an electronic comment, 

EPA recommends that you include your 

name, mailing address, and an email 

address or other contact information in 

the body of your comment and with any 

disk or CD ROM you submit. This 

ensures that you can be identified as the 

submitter of the comment and allows 

EPA to contact you in case EPA cannot 

read your comment due to technical 

difficulties or needs further information 

on the substance of your comment. Any 

identifying or contact information 

provided in the body of a comment will 

be included as part of the comment that 

is placed in the official public docket, 

and made available in EPA’s electronic 

public docket. If EPA cannot read your 

comment due to technical difficulties 

and cannot contact you for clarification, 

EPA may not be able to consider your 

comment. 

Use of the www.regulations.gov Web 

site to submit comments to EPA 

electronically is EPA’s preferred method 

for receiving comments. The electronic 

public docket system is an ‘‘anonymous 

access’’ system, which means EPA will 

not know your identity, email address, 

or other contact information unless you 

provide it in the body of your comment. 

In contrast to EPA’s electronic public 

docket, EPA’s electronic mail (email) 

system is not an ‘‘anonymous access’’ 

system. If you send an email comment 

directly to the Docket without going 

through www.regulations.gov, your 

email address is automatically captured 

and included as part of the comment 

that is placed in the official public 

docket, and made available in EPA’s 

electronic public docket.
