A. What should I consider as I prepare 

my comments for the EPA?

information to EPA through http://

www.regulations.gov or email. 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

will not be disclosed except in

Register date and page number). 

• Follow directions. The agency may 

ask you to respond to specific questions 

or organize comments by reference a 

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 

or section number. 

• Explain why you agree or disagree; 

suggest alternative and substitute 

language for your requested changes. 

• Describe any assumption and 

provide any technical information and/ 

or data that you used. 

• If you estimate potential costs or 

burdens, explain how you arrived at 

your estimate in sufficient detail to 

allow for it to be reproduced. 

• Provide specific examples to 

illustrate your concerns and suggest 

alternatives. 

• Explain your views as clearly as 

possible, avoiding the use of profanity 

or personal threats. 

• Make sure to submit your 

comments by the comment period 

deadline identified. 

II. Information Specific to This 

Document 

Two sections of the Clean Air Act 

(CAA) govern the establishment and 

revision of the NAAQS. Section 108 (42 

U.S.C. 7408) directs the Administrator 

to identify and list certain air pollutants 

and then to issue air quality criteria for 

those pollutants. The Administrator is 

to list those air pollutants that in his or 

her ‘‘judgment, cause or contribute to air 

pollution which may reasonably be 

anticipated to endanger public health or 

welfare;’’ ‘‘the presence of which in the 

ambient air results from numerous or 

diverse mobile or stationary sources;’’ 

and ‘‘for which . . . [the Administrator] 

plans to issue air quality criteria. . . .’’ 

Air quality criteria are intended 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. . . .’’ (42 

U.S.C. 7408(b)). Under section 109 (42 

U.S.C. 7409), the EPA establishes 

primary (health-based) and secondary 

(welfare-based) NAAQS for pollutants 

for which air quality criteria are issued. 

Section 109(d) requires periodic review 

and, if appropriate, revision of existing 

air quality criteria. Revised air quality 

criteria reflect advances in scientific 

knowledge on the effects of the 

pollutant on public health or welfare. 

The EPA is also required to periodically 

review and, if appropriate, revise the 

NAAQS based on the revised criteria. 

Section 109(d)(2) requires that an 

independent scientific review 

committee ‘‘shall complete a review of 

the criteria . . . and the national 

primary and secondary ambient air 

quality standards . . . and shall 

recommend to the Administrator any 

new . . . standards and revisions of the 

existing criteria and standards as may be 

appropriate. . . .’’ Since the early
