pathways, including those involving 

deposition, are also of interest to the 

Agency. EPA also seeks recent 

information in other areas of Pb research 

such as toxicokinetic modeling, 

exposure assessment and exposure 

assessment methodologies, sources and 

emissions, chemistry and physics, 

analytical methodology, fate and 

transport in the environment, ambient 

concentrations, including concentration 

changes in response to changes in Pb 

deposition, and effects on public 

welfare or the environment. This and 

other selected literature relevant to a 

review of the NAAQS for Pb will be 

assessed in the forthcoming Pb ISA. 

As part of this review of the Pb 

NAAQS, EPA intends to sponsor a 

workshop in May 2010, which will be 

announced in the Federal Register, to 

highlight significant new and emerging 

Pb research, and to make 

recommendations to the Agency 

regarding the design and scope of the 

review of the air quality criteria and the 

primary (health-based) and secondary 

(welfare-based) Pb standards to ensure 

that it addresses key policy-relevant 

issues and considers the new science 

that is relevant to informing our 

understanding of these issues. In 

addition, other opportunities for 

submission of new peer-reviewed, 

published (or in-press) papers will be 

possible as part of public comment on 

the draft ISAs that will be reviewed by 

CASAC.

Environmental Impact Statements and 

Regulations; Availability of EPA 

Comments 

Availability of EPA comments 

prepared pursuant to the Environmental 

Review Process (ERP), under section 

309 of the Clean Air Act and Section 

102(2)(c) of the National Environmental 

Policy Act as amended. Requests for 

copies of EPA comments can be directed 

to the Office of Federal Activities at 

202–564–7146 or http://www.epa.gov/

An explanation of the ratings assigned 

to draft environmental impact 

statements (EISs) was published in FR 

dated July 17, 2009 (74 FR 34754). 

Notice: In accordance with Section 

309(a) of the Clean Air Act, EPA is 

required to make its comments on EISs 

issued by other Federal agencies public. 

Historically, EPA has met this mandate 

by publishing weekly notices of 

availability of EPA comments, which 

includes a brief summary of EPA’s 

comment letters, in the Federal 

Register. Since February 2008, EPA has 

been including its comment letters on 

EISs on its Web site at: http:// 

www.epa.gov/compliance/nepa/ 

eisdata.html. Including the entire EIS 

comment letters on the Web site 

satisfies the Section 309(a) requirement 

to make EPA’s comments on EISs 

available to the public. Accordingly, 

after March 31, 2010, EPA will 

discontinue the publication of this 

notice of availability of EPA comments 

in the Federal Register.
