Workshop To Obtain Input on Draft 

Materials for the Integrated Science 

Assessment (ISA) for Sulfur Oxides 

(SOX): Health Criteria 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of Workshop. 

SUMMARY: As part of the review of the 

air quality criteria for sulfur oxides 

(SOX) and primary (health-based) 

National Ambient Air Quality Standards 

(NAAQS) for sulfur dioxide (SO2), the 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 

is announcing a teleconference 

workshop to evaluate preliminary draft 

materials that will inform the 

development of the SOX Integrated 

Science Assessment (ISA) for health 

effects. The workshop is being 

organized by EPA’s National Center for 

Environmental Assessment (NCEA) 

within the Office of Research and 

Development and will be held on June 

23–24, 2014. Participation in the 

workshop will be by webinar or 

teleconference only. 

DATES: The workshop will be held on 

June 23–24, 2014, beginning at 1:00 p.m. 

and ending at 4:00 p.m. each day.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Summary of Information About the 

Workshop 

Section 109(d) of the Clean Air Act 

(CAA) requires the U.S. EPA to conduct 

periodic reviews of the air quality 

criteria for each air pollutant listed 

under section 108 of the Act. Based on 

such reviews, EPA is to retain or revise 

the NAAQS for a given pollutant as 

appropriate. As part of these reviews, 

NCEA assesses newly available 

scientific information and develops ISA 

documents (formerly known as Air 

Quality Criteria Documents) that 

provide the scientific basis for the 

reviews of the NAAQS. 

NCEA is holding this teleconference 

workshop to inform the Agency’s 

evaluation of the scientific evidence for 

the review of the primary NAAQS for 

SO2. Section 109(b)(1) of the CAA 

defines primary NAAQS as standards, 

‘‘the attainment and maintenance of 

which in the judgment of the 

Administrator, based on such criteria 

and allowing an adequate margin of 

safety, are requisite to protect the public 

health.’’ EPA intends to develop a 

separate ISA, and NAAQS review, for 

the secondary (welfare-based) NAAQS 

for SOX, in conjunction with a review of 

the secondary NAAQS for oxides of 

nitrogen. The purpose of the workshop 

is to obtain peer input on the scientific 

content of preliminary draft materials 

that will inform the development of the 

draft health effects ISA. Workshop 

participants will review and discuss 

preliminary draft materials on the 

atmospheric chemistry of and human 

exposure to SOX as well as health effects 

evidence from in vivo and in vitro 

animal toxicology, controlled human 

exposure, and epidemiology studies. In 

addition, panel discussions will help 

identify key studies or concepts within 

each discipline to assist EPA in 

integrating relevant literature within 

and across disciplines. These 

preliminary materials are not being 

released to the general public before the 

workshop but will be used during the 

teleconference to guide workshop 

discussions and inform the 

development of the draft health effects 

ISA. This workshop is planned to help 

ensure that the ISA, once developed, is 

up-to-date and focuses on the key 

evidence to inform the scientific 

understanding for the review of the 

primary NAAQS for SO2. EPA is 

planning to release the first external 

review draft health effects ISA for SOX

for review by the Clean Air Scientific 

Advisory Committee and the public in 

December 2014. 

II. Workshop Information 

Members of the public may attend the 

teleconference as observers. Space in 

the teleconference or webinar may be 

limited, and reservations will be 

accepted on a first-come, first-served 

basis. Registration for the workshop is 

available online at https://

sites.google.com/site/

soxpeerinputwebinar/. The workshop 

agenda and additional information will 

be available through the NCEA Web site 

at http://www.epa.gov/ncea or by

in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
