SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. General Information 

A. What should I consider as I prepare 

my comments for the EPA? 

1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this 

information to the EPA through 

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 the 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: 

• Identify the rulemaking by docket 

number and other identifying 

information (subject heading, Federal 

Register date and page number). 

• 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. 

• Describe any assumptions 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 

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 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. 

The 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 

air quality 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 

existing criteria and standards as may be 

appropriate * * *.’’ Since the early 

1980’s, this independent review 

function has been performed by the 

Clean Air Scientific Advisory 

Committee (CASAC). 

Presently, EPA is reviewing the air 

quality criteria and NAAQS for Pb. The 

EPA’s overall plan and schedule for this 

review is presented in the Integrated 

Review Plan for the Lead National 

Ambient Air Quality Standards.1 The 

draft PA document announced today, 

when final, will serve to ‘‘bridge the 

gap’’ between the scientific information 

and the judgments required of the 

Administrator in determining whether 

to retain or revise the existing NAAQS 

for Pb, and, if revision is considered, 

what revisions may be appropriate. The 

draft PA builds upon information 

presented in the third draft Integrated 

Science Assessment for Lead 2 and 

health and ecological risk assessments 

developed in the last review.3 The draft 

PA will be available on or about January 

8, 2013, through the agency’s 

Technology Transfer Network (TTN) 

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

naaqs/standards/pb/s_pb_index.html. 

The EPA is soliciting advice and 

recommendations from the CASAC by 

means of a review of this draft 

document at an upcoming public 

meeting of the CASAC. Information 

about this public meeting, including the 

dates and location, will be published as 

a separate notice in the Federal 

Register. Following the CASAC 

meeting, the EPA will consider 

comments received from the CASAC 

and the public in preparing revisions to 

this document. The EPA will consider 

public comments submitted in response 

to this notice when revising the 

documents. Comments should be 

submitted to the docket, as described 

above. The document that is the subject 

of today’s notice does not represent and 

should not be construed to represent 

any final EPA policy, viewpoint, or 

determination.
