memorandum and for additional information on the 

NAAQS review process.

documents will be available on or about 

September 4, 2009, through the 

Agency’s Technology Transfer Network 

(TTN) Web site at http://www.epa.gov/ 

ttn/naaqs/standards/pm/ 

s_pm_index.html. These documents 

may be accessed in the ‘‘Documents 

from Current Review’’ section under 

‘‘Risk and Exposure Assessments.’’ The 

EPA is soliciting advice and 

recommendations from the CASAC by 

means of a review of the draft 

documents at an upcoming public 

meeting of the CASAC scheduled in 

Chapel Hill, NC. Information about this 

public meeting, including the date and 

location, will be published as a separate 

notice in the Federal Register. 

Following the CASAC meeting, EPA 

will consider comments received from 

the CASAC and the public in preparing 

revisions to these assessment 

documents. 

In addition, on or about September 

15, 2009, EPA will make available a 

third draft document: Policy Assessment 

for the Review of the National Ambient 

Air Quality Standards: Preliminary 

Draft. The development of this 

document is a result of recent changes 

to the NAAQS review process. On May 

21, 2009, Administrator Jackson called 

for key changes to the NAAQS review 

process including reinstating a policy 

assessment document that contains staff 

analyses of the scientific bases for 

alternative policy options for 

consideration by senior Agency 

management prior to rulemaking. This 

document, which builds upon the 

historical ‘‘Staff Paper,’’ will serve to 

‘‘bridge the gap’’ between the scientific 

information and the judgments required 

of the Administrator in determining 

whether it is appropriate to retain or 

revise the standards. In conjunction 

with this change, EPA will no longer 

issue a policy assessment in the form of 

an Advance Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking (ANPR).4

The preliminary draft Policy 

Assessment (PA) builds upon 

information presented in the Integrated 

Science Assessment for Particulate 

Matter (Second External Review Draft) 5

and the two draft assessment documents 

described above. This preliminary draft 

PA will include several chapters but is 

not intended to be a complete draft PA 

document in that it will not include 

staff conclusions on a range of policy 

options that could be appropriate for the 

Administrator to consider concerning 

whether, and if so how, to revise the 

primary and secondary PM NAAQS. It 

is instead being released for 

informational purposes to facilitate a 

discussion with CASAC on the overall 

structure, areas of focus, and level of 

detail to be included in an external 

review draft of the document, which 

EPA plans to release for CASAC review 

and public comment later this year. 

The preliminary draft PA may be 

accessed online through EPA’s TTN 

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

naaqs/standards/pm/s_pm_index.html. 

This document may be accessed in the 

‘‘Documents from Current Review’’ 

section under ‘‘Policy Assessments.’’ 

The discussion with CASAC on this 

preliminary draft PA will be held at the 

same meeting that CASAC will review 

of the second draft ISA and the two 

draft assessment documents described 

above. 

The draft documents briefly described 

above do not represent and should not 

be construed to represent any final EPA 

policy, viewpoint, or determination. 

The EPA will consider any public 

comments submitted in response to this 

notice when revising the documents.
