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.

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 

mstockstill on PROD1PC61 with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 10 / Wednesday, January 17, 2007 / Notices 1989 

Renovation, Repair, and Painting Rule. 

This 1st Draft LRRP Assessment consists 

of three parts: A draft Assessment Plan, 

a draft Hazard Assessment; and a draft 

Exposure Assessment for Lead Dust 

Generated During Renovation, Repair, 

and Painting in Residences and ChildOccupied Facilities. In addition, the 

CASAC Panel will subsequently be 

asked to conduct a peer review of the 

2nd Draft LRRP Assessment. For the 

purposes of this consultation, the 

CASAC will be augmented with 

members of the CASAC Panel and 

Science Advisory Board (SAB) 

Committee, who have expertise in 

indoor air exposure assessment. 

Biosketches of these experts and the 

members of the CASAC Panel are 

available on the SAB Web site at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

All biologically active, 

photochemically reactive, and 

radiatively active nitrogen compounds 

in the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and 

biosphere are collectively referred to as 

reactive nitrogen. Over the past few 

decades, human activities leading to the 

production of reactive nitrogen exceed 

that of natural terrestrial ecosystem 

production at the global scale. Reactive 

nitrogen has both benefited (e.g., 

increased food production) and 

impacted health and welfare of people 

(e.g., respiratory effects) and ecosystems 

(e.g., biodiversity loss). Scientific 

information suggests that reactive 

nitrogen is accumulating in the 

environment, and that nitrogen cycling 

through biogeochemical pathways has a 

variety of consequences. Environmental 

research suggests that the management 

of reactive nitrogen should be viewed 

from a systems perspective and 

integrated across environmental media. 

As examples, urban air pollution from 

reactive nitrogen may contribute to 

water pollution; and extensive nitrogen 

loads in river basins may impact 

downstream coastal zones. Accordingly, 

linkages between reactive nitrogen 

induced environmental and human 

health effects need to be understood in 

order to optimize reactive nitrogen 

research and risk management 

strategies. 

The EPA Science Advisory Board 

(SAB) was established by 42 U.S.C. 4365 

to provide independent scientific and 

technical advice, consultation, and 

recommendations to the EPA 

Administrator on the technical bases for 

EPA policies and regulations. 

Understanding EPA’s various programs 

for reactive nitrogen is key to 

developing scientific and technical 

recommendations regarding the 

development of an integrated research 

and management strategies for reactive 

nitrogen. The SAB has formed the 

Integrated Nitrogen Research committee 

to develop information regarding EPA’s 

nitrogen research and risk management 

programs. The information will provide 

the basis for an SAB report that will 

provide advice and recommendations 

regarding how the Agency may better 

integrate reactive nitrogen research and 

risk management strategies across 

environmental media and programs.
