65224 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 206 / Monday, October 26, 2015 / Notices 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Any 

member of the public wishing to obtain 

information concerning the public 

meeting may contact Dr. Sue Shallal, 

Designated Federal Officer (DFO), EPA 

Science Advisory Board Staff Office 

(1400R), U.S. Environmental Protection 

Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue 

NW., Washington, DC 20460; by 

telephone/voice mail at (202) 564–2057 

or at shallal.suhair@epa.gov. General 

information about the CASAC, as well 

as any updates concerning the 

teleconference announced in this notice, 

may be found on the EPA Web site at 

http://www.epa.gov/casac. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

CASAC was established pursuant to the 

Clean Air Act (CAA) Amendments of 

1977, codified at 42 U.S.C. 7409(d)(2), 

in part to review air quality criteria and 

NAAQS and recommend any new 

NAAQS and revisions of existing 

criteria and NAAQS as may be 

appropriate. The CASAC is a Federal 

Advisory Committee chartered under 

the Federal Advisory Committee Act 

(FACA), 5 U.S.C., App. 2. 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 oxides of nitrogen 

and oxides of sulfur. EPA is currently 

reviewing the secondary (welfare-based) 

ambient air quality standards for oxides 

of nitrogen and sulfur and has requested 

CASAC advice. Accordingly, the SAB 

Staff Office solicited nominations for 

the CASAC Secondary NAAQS Review 

Panel for Oxides of Nitrogen and Sulfur 

on March 27, 2014 (79 FR 17147– 

17149). Membership of the Panel is 

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

sabpeople.nsf/WebCommitteesSub

committees/Secondary%20NA

AQS%20Review%20Panel%20for%20O

xides%20of%20Nitrogen%20and%20

Sulfur. EPA will develop several 

documents in support of its review of 

the secondary (welfare-based) NAAQS 

for oxides of nitrogen and sulfur, drafts 

of which will be subject to review by the 

CASAC panel. These documents 

include the Integrated Review Plan (IRP) 

for the secondary NAAQS for oxides of 

nitrogen and sulfur, the Integrated 

Science Assessment (ISA) for Oxides of 

Nitrogen and Sulfur—Ecological 

Criteria; a Risk and Exposure 

Assessment (REA), as warranted; and 

the Policy Assessment (PA). 

Pursuant to FACA and EPA policy, 

notice is hereby given that the CASAC 

Secondary National Ambient Air 

Quality Standards Review Panel for 

Oxides of Nitrogen and Sulfur will hold 

a public teleconference to peer review 

EPA’s Integrated Review Plan (IRP) for 

the Secondary (welfare-based) National 

Ambient Air Quality Standards for 

Oxides of Nitrogen and Oxides of 

Sulfur. The CASAC Panel will comply 

with the provisions of FACA and all 

appropriate SAB Staff Office procedural 

policies. 

Technical Contacts: Any technical 

questions concerning the Integrated 

Review Plan (IRP) for the Secondary 

(welfare-based) National Ambient Air 

Quality Standards for Oxides of 

Nitrogen and Oxides of Sulfur should be 

directed to Ms. Ginger Tennant 

(tennant.ginger@epa.gov), EPA Office 

Air Quality Planning and Standards. 

Availability of Meeting Materials: 

Prior to the teleconference, 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 comments for a federal 

advisory committee to consider as it 

develops advice for EPA. Interested 

members of the public may submit 

relevant written or oral information on 

the topic of this advisory activity, and/ 

or the group conducting the activity, for 

the CASAC to consider during the 

advisory process. Input from the public 

to the CASAC will have the most impact 

if it provides specific scientific or 

technical information or analysis for 

CASAC panels to consider or if it relates 

to the clarity or accuracy of the 

technical information. Members of the 

public wishing to provide comment 

should contact the DFO directly. 

Oral Statements: In general, 

individuals or groups requesting an oral 

presentation at a public teleconference 

will be limited to three minutes. Each 

person making an oral statement should 

consider providing written comments as 

well as their oral statement so that the 

points presented orally can be expanded 

upon in writing. Interested parties 

should contact Dr. Sue Shallal, DFO, in 

writing (preferably via email) at the 

contact information noted above by 

November 17, 2015 to be placed on the 

list of public speakers. 

Written Statements: Written 

statements should be supplied to the 

DFO via email at the contact 

information noted above by November 

17, 2015 so that the information may be 

made available to the Panel members for 

their consideration. It is the SAB Staff 

Office general policy to post written 

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. Sue 

Shallal at the contact information 

provided above. To request 

accommodation of a disability, please 

contact Dr. Shallal preferably at least ten 

days prior to the teleconference to give 

EPA as much time as possible to process 

your request.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Omnibus Consolidated Rescissions and 

Appropriations Act of 1996 (Pub. L.

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 206 / Monday, October 26, 2015 / Notices 65225 

104–134) and the Department of 

Veterans Affairs and Housing and Urban 

Development, and Independent 

Agencies Appropriations Act of 1998 

(Pub. L. 105–65) authorize EPA to 

combine categorical grant funds 

appropriated in EPA’s State and Tribal 

Assistance Grant (STAG) account and 

award the funds as PPGs. Public Law 

104–134 states, in relevant part, that: 

‘‘the Administrator is authorized to 

make grants annually from funds 

appropriated under this heading, subject 

to such terms and conditions as the 

Administrator shall establish, to any 

State or federally recognized Indian 

tribe for multimedia or single media 

pollution prevention, control and 

abatement and related environmental 

activities at the request of the Governor 

or other appropriate State official or the 

tribe.’’ 

Public Law 105–65 amended the PPG 

authority by authorizing ‘‘interstate 

agencies, tribal consortia, and air 

pollution control agencies’’ to receive 

PPGs. Pursuant to the authority granted 

in Public Law 104–134 and Public Law 

105–65, EPA promulgated PPG 

regulations in January of 2001 as part of 

the Agency’s revision of 40 CFR part 35, 

the rules governing categorical 

environmental program grants. The 

regulation at 40 CFR 35.133(b) states 

that: ‘‘The Administrator may, in 

guidance or regulation, describe 

subsequent additions, deletions, or 

changes to the list of environmental 

programs eligible for inclusion in 

Performance Partnership Grants.’’ 

EPA is authorized under Section 406 

of the Clean Water Act (CWA), as 

amended by the Beaches Environmental 

Assessment and Coastal Health 

(BEACH) Act (Pub. L. 106–284), to 

award program development and 

implementation grants to eligible states, 

territories, tribes, and local governments 

to support microbiological monitoring 

and public notification of the potential 

for exposure to disease-causing 

microorganisms in coastal recreation 

waters, including the Great Lakes. The 

BEACH Act grant program is funded in 

the same line item that funds categorical 

grants for ‘‘multimedia or single media 

pollution prevention, control and 

abatement and related environmental 

activities’’ and, therefore, this grant 

program is eligible for inclusion in 

PPGs. This notice is made pursuant to 

40 CFR 35.133(b), to inform entities 

eligible to receive PPGs that the program 

listed above may be included in a PPG 

subject to any limitations herein 

defined. Hereafter, BEACH Act grants 

are eligible for inclusion in PPGs and 

may be included in a PPG at the request 

of the appropriate official of an eligible 

entity, subject to EPA’s regulations at 2 

CFR part 200 and 2 CFR part 1500 and 

40 CFR 35.001–35.138 and 35.500– 

35.538. The authority to issue this 

Federal Register notice has been 

delegated to the Deputy Associate 

Administrator for Intergovernmental 

Relations.
