Staff Office (1400R), U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania 

Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20460; by 

telephone at (202) 564–2155 or at

information about the CASAC, as well

announced in this notice, may be found

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

CASAC was established pursuant to the 

Clean Air Act (CAA) Amendments of 

1977, codified at 42 U.S.C. 7409(d)(2), to 

review air quality criteria and National 

Ambient Air Quality Standards 

(NAAQS) and recommend any new 

NAAQS and revisions of existing 

criteria and NAAQS as may be 

appropriate. The CASAC is a Federal 

Advisory Committee chartered under 

the Federal Advisory Committee Act 

(FACA), 5 U.S.C., App. 2. Section 

109(d)(1) of the CAA requires that the 

Agency periodically review and revise, 

as appropriate, the air quality criteria 

and the NAAQS for the six ‘‘criteria’’ air 

pollutants, including oxides of nitrogen, 

oxides of sulfur, and particulate matter 

(PM). EPA is currently reviewing the 

secondary (welfare-based) ambient air 

quality standards for oxides of nitrogen, 

oxides of sulfur, and PM. 

Pursuant to FACA and EPA policy, 

notice is hereby given that the CASAC 

Secondary National Ambient Air 

Quality Standards Review Panel for 

Oxides of Nitrogen and Sulfur will hold 

a public face-to-face meeting to review 

EPA’s Integrated Science Assessment for 

Oxides of Nitrogen, Oxides of Sulfur, 

and Particulate Matter—Ecological 

Criteria (Second External Review Draft), 

and Review of the Secondary National 

Ambient Air Quality Standards for 

Ecological Effects of Oxides of Nitrogen, 

Oxides of Sulfur and Particulate Matter: 

Risk and Exposure Assessment Planning 

Document. The CASAC Secondary 

National Ambient Air Quality Standards 

Review Panel for Oxides of Nitrogen 

and Sulfur will comply with the 

provisions of FACA and all appropriate 

SAB Staff Office procedural policies. 

The Panel will provide advice to the 

EPA Administrator through the 

chartered CASAC. 

Technical Contacts: Any technical 

questions concerning the Integrated 

Science Assessment for Oxides of 

Nitrogen, Oxides of Sulfur, and 

Particulate Matter—Ecological Criteria 

(Second External Review Draft) should 

be directed to Dr. Tara Greaver 

(greaver.tara@epa.gov), EPA Office of 

Research and Development. Any 

technical questions concerning the 

Review of the Secondary National 

Ambient Air Quality Standards for 

Ecological Effects of Oxides of Nitrogen, 

Oxides of Sulfur and Particulate Matter: 

Risk and Exposure Assessment Planning 

Document should be directed to Ms. 

Karen Wesson (wesson.karen@epa.gov), 

EPA Office of Air and Radiation. 

Availability of Meeting Materials: 

Prior to the meeting, the review 

documents, agenda and other materials 

will be available on the CASAC web 

page at http://www.epa.gov/casac/. 

Procedures for Providing Public Input: 

Public comment for consideration by 

EPA’s federal advisory committees and 

panels has a different purpose from 

public comment provided to EPA 

program offices. Therefore, the process 

for submitting comments to a federal 

advisory committee is different from the 

process used to submit comments to an 

EPA program office. 

Federal advisory committees and 

panels, including scientific advisory 

committees, provide independent 

advice to EPA. Members of the public 

can submit relevant comments on the 

topic of this advisory activity, including 

the charge to the panel and the EPA 

review documents, and/or the group 

conducting the activity, for the CASAC 

to consider as it develops advice for 

EPA. Input from the public to the 

CASAC will have the most impact if it 

provides specific scientific or technical 

information or analysis for CASAC 

panels to consider or if it relates to the 

clarity or accuracy of the technical 

information. Members of the public 

wishing to provide comment should 

follow the instructions below to submit 

comments. 

Oral Statements: In general, 

individuals or groups requesting an oral 

presentation at a public meeting will be 

limited to five minutes. Each person 

making an oral statement should 

consider providing written comments as 

well as their oral statement so that the 

points presented orally can be expanded 

upon in writing. Interested parties 

should contact Dr. Thomas Armitage, 

DFO, in writing (preferably via email) at 

the contact information noted above by 

August 29, 2018, to be placed on the list 

of public speakers. 

Written Statements: Written 

statements will be accepted throughout 

the advisory process; however, for 

timely consideration by CASAC 

members, statements should be 

supplied to the DFO (preferably via 

email) at the contact information noted 

above by August 29, 2018. It is the SAB 

Staff Office general policy to post 

written comments on the web page for 

the advisory meeting or teleconference. 

Members of the public should be aware 

that their personal contact information 

(including signatures), if included in 

any written comments, may be posted to 

the CASAC website. Copyrighted 

material will not be posted without 

explicit permission of the copyright 

holder. 

Accessibility: For information on 

access or services for individuals with 

disabilities, please contact Dr. Thomas 

Armitage at (202) 564–2155 or 

armitage.thomas@epa.gov. To request 

accommodation of a disability, please 

contact Dr. Armitage preferably at least 

ten days prior to the meeting to give 

EPA as much time as possible to process 

your request.
