issuance * * * and would have 

justified the application of different 

permit conditions at the time of 

issuance.’’ Pursuant to EPA regulations, 

‘‘[w]hen a permit is modified, only the 

conditions subject to the modification 

are reopened.’’ 40 CFR 122.62. 

In the case of the 2008 CGP, a permit 

modification is justified based on the 

new information EPA has received since 

issuance of the 2008 CGP in July 2008, 

described above in Section II.C, EPA is 

undertaking or planning to undertake 

actions that are putting new demands 

on the Agency’s resources in the NPDES 

stormwater program. The contents and 

the resulting resource demands of the 

NRC Report and the Chesapeake Bay 

E.O. were not available at the time of 

issuance of the 2008 CGP. Meeting these 

new demands while implementing new 

effluent guidelines and new source 

performance standards is not practical 

in a seven-month time period. If this 

information was available at the time of 

permit issuance, it would have justified 

EPA establishing an expiration date for 

the 2008 CGP later than midnight June 

30, 2010. As a result, cause exists under 

EPA regulations to justify modification 

of the 2008 CGP to extend the expiration 

date of the permit from midnight June 

30, 2010 to midnight June 30, 2011.

Review of the National Ambient Air 

Quality Standards for Ozone 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Availability of draft document 

for public review and comment. 

SUMMARY: On or about October 1, 2009, 

the National Center for Environmental 

Assessment (NCEA) and the Office of 

Air Quality Planning and Standards 

(OAQPS) of EPA is making available for 

public review and comment a draft 

document titled Integrated Review Plan 

for the Ozone National Ambient Air 

Quality Standards Review—External 

Review Draft. 

This document contains the plans for 

the new periodic review of the air 

quality criteria for ozone (O3)-related 

effects on public health and public 

welfare and the current O3 standards or 

any revised standards that may result 

from the reconsideration of the 2008 O3 

standards. This draft Integrated Review 

Plan (IRP) is being released for the 

purpose of consulting with the Clean 

Air Scientific Advisory Committee 

(CASAC) of EPA’s Science Advisory 

Board 1 and obtaining public comment 

on the Agency’s plans. The final IRP 

will be informed by comments received 

from the CASAC and the public. The 

draft IRP will be posted on the Agency’s 

Technology Transfer Network (TTN) 

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

naaqs/standards/ozone/ 

s_o3_index.html. The draft IRP may be 

accessed in the ‘‘Documents from 

Current Review’’ section under 

‘‘Planning Documents.’’ 

1For purposes of this review, the 7- 

member CASAC has been supplemented by 

additional scientific experts collectively 

referred to as the CASAC O3 NAAQS Review 

Panel.

General Information 

A. What Should I Consider as I Prepare 

My Comments for EPA? 

1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this 

information to EPA through 

www.regulations.gov or e-mail. 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: 

b Identify the rulemaking by docket 

number and other identifying 

information (subject heading, Federal 

Register date and page number). 

b Follow directions—The Agency 

may ask you to respond to specific 

questions or organize comments by 

referencing a Code of Federal 

Regulations (CFR) part or section 

number. Explain why you agree or 

disagree; suggest alternatives and 

substitute language for your requested 

changes. 

b Describe any assumptions and 

provide any technical information and/ 

or data that you used. 

b If you estimate potential costs or 

burdens, explain how you arrived at 

your estimate in sufficient detail to 

allow for it to be reproduced. 

b Provide specific examples to 

illustrate your concerns, and suggest 

alternatives. 

b Make sure to submit your 

comments by the comment period 

deadline identified. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under 

section 108(a) of the Clean Air Act 

(CAA), the Administrator identifies and 

lists certain pollutants which ‘‘cause or 

contribute to air pollution which may 

reasonably be anticipated to endanger 

public health or welfare.’’ The EPA then 

issues air quality criteria for listed 

pollutants, which are commonly 

referred to as ‘‘criteria pollutants.’’ The 

air quality criteria are 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, in varying 

quantities.’’ Under section 109 of the 

CAA, EPA establishes National Ambient 

Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for 

each listed pollutant, with the NAAQS 

based on the air quality criteria, Section 

109(d) of the CAA requires periodic 

review and, if appropriate, revision of 

existing air quality criteria. The revised 

air quality criteria reflect advances in 

scientific knowledge about the effects of 

the pollutant on public health or 

welfare. The EPA is also required to 

periodically review and revise the 

NAAQS, if appropriate, based on the 

revised criteria. 

Air quality criteria have been 

established for O3, and primary and 

secondary O3 NAAQS have been set to 

provide protection against adverse 

health and welfare effects, respectively. 

EPA is currently reviewing the air 

quality criteria and NAAQS for O3, and 

the overall plan and schedule for this 

review is presented in the Integrated 

Review Plan for the Ozone National 

Ambient Air Quality Standards— 

External Review Draft.2 This draft of the 

integrated review plan is available for 

public review and comment until 

November 6, 2009, and will be the 

subject of a consultation with the 

CASAC on November 13, 2009. 

Comments received from that 

consultation with CASAC and from the 

public will be considered in finalizing 

the plan and in beginning the review of 

the air quality criteria.
