Release of the Draft Integrated Review 

Plan for the National Ambient Air 

Quality Standards for Particulate 

Matter 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of availability and public 

comment period. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is announcing the 

availability for public review of the draft 

document titled Draft Integrated Review 

Plan for the National Ambient Air 

Quality Standards for Particulate Matter 

(draft IRP). The draft IRP contains the 

current plans for the review of the air 

quality criteria for particulate matter 

(PM) and the primary and secondary 

national ambient air quality standards 

(NAAQS) for PM. The primary PM 

NAAQS are set to protect the public 

health and the secondary PM NAAQS 

are set to protect the public welfare from 

exposures to PM in ambient air. 

DATES: Comments should be received on 

or before June 23, 2016. 

ADDRESSES: The draft IRP will be 

available primarily via the Internet at 

https://www3.epa.gov/ttn/naaqs/

standards/pm/s_pm_index.html.

I. General Information 

A. What should I consider as I prepare 

my comments for the EPA? 

1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this 

information to EPA through http://

www.regulations.gov or email. 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 reference a 

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 

or section number. 

• Explain why you agree or disagree; 

suggest alternative and substitute 

language for your requested changes. 

• Describe any assumption 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. 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 his or 

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), the EPA establishes 

primary (health-based) and secondary 

(welfare-based) 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. 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, if appropriate, revise the 

NAAQS 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 the 

existing criteria and standards as may be 

appropriate. . . .’’ Since the early

1The EPA’s call for information for this review 

was issued on December 3, 2014 (79 FR 71764). 

2The EPA held a workshop titled ‘‘Workshop to 

Discuss Policy-Relevant Science to Inform EPA’s 

Review of the Primary and Secondary NAAQS for 

PM’’ on February 9–11, 2015 (79 FR 71764). 

3 81 FR 13362, March 14, 2016. 

1980s, this independent review function 

has been performed by the Clean Air 

Scientific Advisory Committee 

(CASAC). 

Presently, the EPA is reviewing the 

criteria and the primary and secondary 

NAAQS for PM.1 The draft IRP being 

announced today has been 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.2 Drawing 

from the workshop discussions, the 

draft IRP was prepared jointly by the 

EPA’s National Center for 

Environmental Assessment, within the 

Office of Research and Development, 

and the EPA’s Office of Air Quality 

Planning and Standards, within the 

Office of Air and Radiation. The draft 

IRP presents the current plan and 

specifies the anticipated schedule for 

the entire review, the process for 

conducting the review, and the key 

policy-relevant science issues that will 

guide the review. The draft IRP will be 

reviewed by CASAC at a teleconference 

on May 23, 2016.3 The final IRP will 

include consideration of CASAC advice 

and public comments received on the 

draft IRP.
