General information concerning the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

CASAC was established pursuant to the 

Clean Air Act (CAA) Amendments of 

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

to provide advice, information, and 

recommendations to the Administrator 

on the scientific and technical aspects of 

issues related to the criteria for air 

quality standards, research related to air 

quality, sources of air pollution, and the 

strategies to attain and maintain air 

quality standards and to prevent 

significant deterioration of air quality. 

The CASAC is a Federal Advisory 

Committee chartered under the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5 

U.S.C., App. 2. Pursuant to FACA and 

EPA policy, notice is hereby given that 

the CASAC Lead Review Panel will 

hold a face-to-face public meeting to 

peer review EPA’s second external 

review draft of the Integrated Science 

Assessment for Lead (February 2012). 

The CASAC Lead Review Panel will 

hold a follow-up public teleconference 

to discuss its draft review and the 

Chartered CASAC will hold a public 

teleconference to discuss the Panel’s 

draft review. This is being prepared as 

part of the review of the National 

Ambient Air Quality Standards 

(NAAQS) for lead. The CASAC Lead 

Review Panel and the CASAC will 

comply with the provisions of FACA 

and all appropriate SAB Staff Office 

procedural policies. 

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 lead. 

EPA is currently reviewing the primary 

(health-based) and secondary (welfarebased) NAAQS for lead. The CASAC 

Lead Review Panel previously reviewed 

EPA’s first external review draft of the 

Integrated Science Assessment for Lead 

(May 2011) as reported in a CASAC 

letter to the EPA Administrator, dated 

December 9, 2011 (EPA–CASAC–12– 

002). 

Technical Contacts: Any technical 

questions concerning the Integrated 

Science Assessment for Lead (Second 

External Review Draft—February 2012) 

should be directed to Dr. Ellen Kirrane 

(kirrane.ellen@epa.gov). 

Availability of Meeting Materials: 

Prior to the meeting, 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 relevant comments for a 

federal advisory committee to consider 

pertaining to EPA’s charge to the panel 

or meeting materials. 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 will be limited to five 

minutes for the public face-to-face 

meeting and will be limited to three 

minutes for the public teleconferences. 

Interested parties should contact Mr. 

Aaron Yeow, DFO, in writing 

(preferably via email) at the contact 

information noted above by April 3, 

2012, to be placed on the list of public 

speakers for the CASAC Lead Review 

Panel’s face-to-face public meeting and 

by May 23, 2012, for the CASAC Lead 

Review Panel’s follow-up public 

teleconference. Interested parties should 

contact Dr. Holly Stallworth, DFO, in 

writing (preferably via email) at the 

contact information noted above by July 

9, 2012, to be placed on the list of 

public speakers for the Chartered 

CASAC quality review public 

teleconference. Written Statements: 

Written statements should be supplied 

to the Mr. Yeow, DFO, via email at the 

contact information noted above by 

April 3, 2012, for the CASAC Lead 

Review Panel’s face-to-face public 

meeting, and by May 23, 2012, for the 

CASAC Lead Review Panel’s follow-up 

public teleconference so that the 

information may be made available to 

the Panel members for their 

consideration. Written statements 

should be supplied to Dr. Stallworth, 

DFO, via email at the contact 

information noted above by July 9, 2012, 

for the Chartered CASAC’s quality 

review public teleconference. Written

the following electronic formats: Adobe 

Acrobat PDF, MS Word, MS
