[EPA–HQ–OAR–2007–1145; FRL–9139–6] 

Review of the Secondary National 

Ambient Air Quality Standards for 

Oxides of Nitrogen and Oxides of 

Sulfur 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of extension of comment 

period. 

SUMMARY: The EPA is announcing an 

extension of the public comment period 

for a draft assessment document titled, 

Policy Assessment for the Review of the 

Secondary National Ambient Air 

Quality Standards for Oxides of 

Nitrogen and Oxides of Sulfur: First 

External Review Draft (75 FR 11877; 

March 12, 2010). The comment period 

was originally scheduled to end on 

April 29, 2010. The extended comment 

period will close on May 13, 2010. The 

Agency is extending the comment 

period by two weeks to provide the 

public with adequate time to conduct 

appropriate analysis and prepare 

meaningful comments. 

Although EPA is extending the 

comment period for the first draft policy 

assessment by two weeks, EPA is 

committed to issuing a proposal 

addressing the nitrogen oxides (NOX) 

and sulfur oxides (SOX) secondary 

National Ambient Air Quality Standards 

(NAAQS) by July 12, 2011. The 

extension also will not alter EPA’s 

internal schedule for providing a second 

draft policy assessment for review by 

the Clean Air Scientific Advisory 

Committee (CASAC) by the end of July 

2010. 

The public is encouraged to submit 

comments by the end of the original 

comment period to ensure that EPA has 

adequate time to evaluate and respond 

to those comments. However, all 

comments received by May 13, 2010, 

will be considered in developing the 

second draft policy assessment. 

DATES: Comments should be submitted 

on or before May 13, 2010.

General Information 

A. What Should I Consider as I Prepare 

My Comments for EPA? 

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 

contain the information claimed as CBI 

must be submitted for inclusion in the 

public docket. Information so marked 

will not be disclosed except in 

accordance with procedures set forth in 

40 CFR part 2. 

2. Tips for Preparing Your Comments. 

When submitting comments, remember 

to: 

• 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.

• Make sure to submit your 

comments by the comment period 

deadline identified. 

Under section 108(a) of the Clean Air 

Act (CAA), the Administrator identifies 

and lists certain pollutants which ‘‘cause 

or contribute to air pollution which may 

reasonably be anticipated to endanger 

public health or welfare.’’ The EPA then 

issues air quality criteria for these listed 

pollutants, which are commonly 

referred to as ‘‘criteria 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 [a] 

pollutant in the ambient air, in varying 

quantities.’’ Under section 109 of the 

CAA, EPA establishes NAAQS for each 

listed pollutant, based on the air quality 

criteria. Section 109(d) of the CAA 

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. 

Section 109 (d) also requires EPA to 

periodically review and revise the 

NAAQS, if appropriate, based on the 

revised criteria. 

The EPA is currently conducting a 

joint review of the existing secondary 

(welfare-based) NAAQS for NOX and 

SOX. Because NOX, SOX, and their 

associated transformation products are 

linked from an atmospheric chemistry 

perspective as well as from an 

environmental effects perspective, and 

because of the National Research 

Council’s 2004 recommendations to 

consider multiple pollutants in forming 

the scientific basis for the NAAQS, EPA 

has decided to jointly assess the science, 

risks, and policies relevant to protecting 

the public welfare associated with NOX

and SOX. This is the first time since 

NAAQS were established in 1971 that a 

joint review of these two pollutants has 

been conducted. 

As part of this review of the current 

secondary (welfare-based) NAAQS for 

NOX and SOX, EPA’s Office of Air 

Quality Planning and Standards staff 

have prepared a first draft Policy 

Assessment. The objective of this 

assessment is to evaluate the policy 

implications of the key scientific 

information contained in the document 

Integrated Science Assessment for 

Oxides of Nitrogen and SulfurEcological Criteria (http:// 

cfpub.epa.gov/ncea/cfm/ 

recordisplay.cfm?deid=201485), 

prepared by EPA’s National Center for 

Environmental Assessment (NCEA) and 

the results from the analyses contained 

in the Risk and Exposure Assessment 

for Review of the Secondary National 

Ambient Air Quality Standards for 

Oxides of Nitrogen and Oxides of Sulfur 

(http://www.epa.gov/ttn/naaqs/ 

standards/no2so2sec/cr_rea.html). The 

first draft Policy Assessment is available 

online at: http://www.epa.gov/ttn/ 

naaqs/standards/no2so2sec/index.html. 

The first draft Policy Assessment was 

reviewed by the CASAC during a public 

meeting held on April 1 and 2, 2010. 

Information about this public meeting is 

available at http://yosemite.epa.gov/sab/ 

sabpeople.nsf/WebCommittees/CASAC. 

At the April 1 and 2, 2010, CASAC 

meeting, the Committee reviewed the 

first draft Policy Assessment, heard 

public comments, and prepared a draft 

letter to the Agency with their advice 

regarding the first draft Policy 

Assessment. 

The original comment period for the 

first draft Policy Assessment was 60 

days, from March 1, 2010, through April 

29, 2010. In a letter dated April 8, 2010, 

the Utility Air Regulatory Group 

requested an extension of the comment 

period through May 13, 2010. As of 

April 12, 2010, EPA has received 

comments from one public commenter 

presented at the CASAC meeting on 

April 1, 2010. Based on our 

consideration of the request from the 

Utility Air Regulatory Group, EPA is 

granting the extension of the public 

comment period through May 13, 2010. 

Dated: April 13, 2010.
