docket. EPA’s policy is that copyrighted 

material, including copyrighted material 

contained in a public comment, will not 

be placed in EPA’s electronic public 

docket but will be available only in 

printed, paper form in the official public 

docket. Although not all docket 

materials may be available 

electronically, you may still access any 

of the publicly available docket 

materials through the EPA Docket 

Center. 

B. How and to Whom Do I Submit 

Comments? 

You may submit comments as 

provided in the ADDRESSES section. 

Please ensure that your comments are 

submitted within the specified comment 

period. Comments received after the 

close of the comment period will be 

marked ‘‘late.’’ EPA is not required to 

consider these late comments. 

If you submit an electronic comment, 

EPA recommends that you include your 

name, mailing address, and an e-mail 

address or other contact information in 

the body of your comment and with any 

disk or CD–ROM you submit. This 

ensures that you can be identified as the 

submitter of the comment and allows 

EPA to contact you in case EPA cannot 

read your comment due to technical 

difficulties or needs further information 

on the substance of your comment. Any 

identifying or contact information 

provided in the body of a comment will 

be included as part of the comment that 

is placed in the official public docket, 

and made available in EPA’s electronic 

public docket. If EPA cannot read your 

comment due to technical difficulties 

and cannot contact you for clarification, 

EPA may not be able to consider your 

comment. 

Use of the www.regulations.gov Web 

site to submit comments to EPA 

electronically is EPA’s preferred method 

for receiving comments. The electronic 

public docket system is an ‘‘anonymous 

access’’ system, which means EPA will 

not know your identity, e-mail address, 

or other contact information unless you 

provide it in the body of your comment. 

In contrast to EPA’s electronic public 

docket, EPA’s electronic mail (e-mail) 

system is not an ‘‘anonymous access’’

system. If you send an e-mail comment 

directly to the Docket without going 

through www.regulations.gov, your email address is automatically captured 

and included as part of the comment 

that is placed in the official public 

docket, and made available in EPA’s 

electronic public docket.

the EPA SAB can be found on the EPA 

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

Information concerning EPA technical 

contacts appears below in this Federal 

Register notice. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: The CASAC, which is 

comprised of seven members appointed 

by the EPA Administrator, was 

established under section 109(d)(2) of 

the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act) (42 

U.S.C. 7409) as an independent 

scientific advisory committee. The 

CASAC provides advice, information 

and recommendations on the scientific 

and technical aspects of issues related to 

air quality criteria and NAAQS under 

sections 108 and 109 of the Act. The 

CASAC is chartered under the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act (FACA), as 

amended, 5 U.S.C., App. The CASAC 

Lead Review Panel consists of the seven 

CASAC members supplemented by 

subject-matter-experts. The CASAC 

Lead Review Panel provides advice and 

recommendations to EPA concerning 

lead in ambient air. The Panel complies 

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 national ambient air 

quality standards (NAAQS) for the six 

‘‘criteria’’ air pollutants, including Lead. 

On September 30, 2006, EPA’s National 

Center for Environmental Assessment 

National, Research Triangle Park 

(NCEA–RTP), within the Agency’s 

Office of Research and Development 

(ORD), made available a document, Air 

Quality Criteria for Lead (EPA/600/R–

05/144aC–bC). This final Lead air 

quality criteria document (AQCD) 

represented a revision to the previous 

EPA document, Air Quality Criteria for 

Lead, EPA–600/8–83/028aF–dF 

(published in June 1986) and an 

associated supplement (EPA–600/8–89/ 

049F) published in 1990. The CASAC’s 

most-recent letter to the Administrator 

concerning the draft Lead AQCD (EPA–

CASAC–06–010, dated September 6, 

2006) is posted on the SAB Web site at 

http://www.epa.gov/sab/pdf/casac-06–

010.pdf. Detailed summary information 

on the Final AQCD for Lead is 

contained in a previous EPA Federal 

Register notice (71 FR 57508, September 

29, 2006). 

In December 2006, EPA’s Office of Air 

Quality Planning and Standards 

(OAQPS), within the Office of Air and 

Radiation (OAR), released the 1st Draft 

Lead Staff Paper and the Draft Lead 

Exposure and Risk Assessments 

document as part of its review of the 

Lead NAAQS. The purpose of the 1st 

Draft Lead Staff Paper is to evaluate the 

policy implications of the key scientific 

mstockstill on PROD1PC61 with NOTICES

1988 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 10 / Wednesday, January 17, 2007 / Notices 

and technical information contained in 

the Agency’s Final AQCD for Lead and 

to identify critical elements that EPA 

staff believes should be considered in its 

review of the Lead NAAQS. The Lead 

Staff Paper is intended to ‘‘bridge the 

gap’’ between the scientific review 

contained in the Lead AQCD and the 

public health and welfare policy 

judgments required of the EPA 

Administrator in reviewing the Lead 

NAAQS. The Draft Lead Exposure and 

Risk Assessments technical support 

document describes the methodology 

and presents the results of the pilot 

phase human exposure and health risk 

assessments and ecological risk 

assessments for a number of case 

studies. 

Technical Contacts: Any questions 

concerning the Agency’s 1st Draft Lead 

Staff Paper should be directed to Dr. 

Deirdre Murphy, OAQPS, at phone: 

919–541–0729, or e-mail: 

murphy.deirdre@epa.gov. Any

and health risk analyses in the Draft 

Lead Exposure and Risk Assessments 

technical support document can be 

directed to Dr. Zachary Pekar, OAQPS, 

at phone: 919–541–3704, or e-mail: 

pekar.zachary@epa.gov; while questions 

about the environmental assessment can 

be directed to Ms. Ginger Tennant, 

OAQPS, at phone: 919–541–4072, or email: tennant.ginger@epa.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The CASAC, which is comprised of 

seven members appointed by the EPA 

Administrator, was established under 

section 109(d)(2) of the Clean Air Act 

(CAA or Act) (42 U.S.C. 7409) as an 

independent scientific advisory 

committee. The CASAC is chartered 

under the Federal Advisory Committee 

Act (FACA), as amended, 5 U.S.C., App. 

The CASAC Panel consists of the seven 

CASAC members supplemented by 

subject-matter-experts. The CASAC 

Panel provides advice and 

recommendations to EPA concerning 

lead in ambient air. The Panel complies 

with the provisions of FACA and all 

appropriate SAB Staff Office procedural 

policies. 

EPA has proposed new requirements 

to reduce exposure to lead hazards 

created by renovation, repair, and 

painting activities that disturb leadbased paint. The Federal Register notice 

for the LRRP proposed rule is available 

at: http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2006/ 

06-71.htm. This action supports the 

attainment of the Federal government’s 

goal of eliminating childhood lead 

poisoning by 2010. The proposed rule 

would establish requirements for 

training renovators and dust sampling 

technicians; certifying renovators, dust 

sampling technicians, and renovation 

firms; accrediting providers of 

renovation and dust sampling 

technician training; and for renovation 

work practices. In support of this rulemaking activity, EPA’s Office of 

Pollution Prevention and Toxics 

(OPPT), within the Agency’s Office of 

Prevention, Pesticides and Toxic 

Substances (OPPTS), has requested that 

the CASAC conduct a consultation and 

a subsequent peer review on the Draft 

LRRP Assessment, and has made 

available for public review and 

comment a draft document, Draft 

Assessment to Support the Lead
