1The EPA’s call for information for the NOX/SOX

secondary review was issued on August 29, 2013 

(78 FR 53452), and the call for information on the 

PM review (both secondary and primary) was 

issued on December 3, 2014 (79 FR 71764).

1980’s, this independent review 

function has been performed by CASAC. 

Presently, the EPA is reviewing the 

secondary NAAQS for oxides of 

nitrogen, oxides of sulfur, and PM.1 PM 

was added to this review after the draft 

Integrated Review Plan (80 FR 69220, 

November 9, 2015) was released to the 

public and reviewed by CASAC in 

recognition of linkages between these 

pollutants (oxides of nitrogen, oxides of 

sulfur, and PM) with respect to 

deposition and atmospheric chemistry, 

as well as from an environmental effects 

perspective. Additional welfare effects 

associated with PM, such as visibility, 

climate and materials effects, and the 

health effects of PM (including 

particulate transformation products of 

oxides of nitrogen and oxides of sulfur) 

are considered as part of the review of 

the NAAQS for PM (81 FR 87933, 

December 6, 2016). The health effects of 

oxides of nitrogen were considered in a 

separate assessment that was completed 

recently as part of the review of the 

primary (health-based) NAAQS for 

oxides of nitrogen (83 FR 17226, April 

18, 2018). Similarly, the health effects of 

oxides of sulfur are currently being 

considered in a separate assessment as 

part of the review of the primary 

NAAQS for oxides of sulfur (83 FR 

26752, June 8, 2018). 

The EPA’s overall plan for this review 

is presented in the Integrated Review 

Plan for the Secondary NAAQS for 

Oxides of Nitrogen, Oxides of Sulfur 

and Particulate Matter.2 The REA 

Planning Document considers the 

degree to which important uncertainties 

identified in quantitative analyses from 

previous reviews have been addressed 

by newly available scientific evidence, 

tools, or information, including those in 

the second external review draft of the 

Integrated Science Assessment for 

Oxides of Nitrogen, Oxides of Sulfur 

and Particulate Matter-Ecological 

Criteria (83 FR 29786, June 26, 2018). 

Based on these considerations, the 

document reaches preliminary 

conclusions on the extent to which 

updated quantitative analyses of 

exposures or public welfare risks are 

warranted in the current review. For 

updated analyses that are supported, 

this planning document presents 

anticipated approaches to conducting 

such analyses. This document will be 

available on or about August 6, 2018, on 

the EPA’s Technology Transfer Network 

website at https://www.epa.gov/naaqs/ 

nitrogen-dioxide-no2-and-sulfurdioxide-so2-secondary-standardsplanning-documents-current. 

The REA Planning Document will be 

discussed at a public meeting for review 

by CASAC and the public. A separate 

Federal Register notice provides details 

about this meeting and the process for 

participation (83 FR 31755, July 9, 

2018). The EPA will also consider 

public comments on the REA Planning 

Document that are submitted to the 

docket, as described above.

Confidential Business Information 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of intended transfer of 

confidential business information to 

contractor and its subcontractors and 

consultants. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) intends to transfer 

confidential business information (CBI), 

collected from numerous industries, to 

ICF International (ICF) and its 

subcontractors and consultants, under 

an EPA contract newly awarded to ICF. 

Transfer of this information is necessary 

for ICF to assist the Office of Water in 

the preparation of economic analyses 

and environmental assessment activities 

conducted in support of Clean Water 

Act regulations and programs, such as 

effluent guidelines and associated 

planning and review activities, and 

water quality standards. Much of the 

information being transferred was or 

will be collected under the authority of 

section 308 of the Clean Water Act 

(CWA) to support effluent guidelines 

development in particular. Interested 

persons may submit comments on this 

intended transfer of information to the 

address noted below. 

DATES: Comments on the transfer of data 

are due August 27, 2018. 

ADDRESSES: Comments may be sent to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA has 

transferred CBI to its contractors and 

subcontractors as part of the effluent 

guidelines program under 40 CFR 

2.302(h). EPA determined that this 

transfer was necessary to enable the 

contractors, subcontractors, and 

consultants to perform their work in 

supporting EPA in planning, 

developing, and reviewing effluent 

guidelines and standards for certain 

industries. 

Pursuant to 40 CFR 2.302(h)(2), EPA 

is giving notice that it has entered into 

a new contract with ICF, contract 

number 68HE0C18D0001, located in 

Fairfax, Virginia. The purpose of this 

contract is to secure economic and 

environmental assessment support for 

EPA in its development, review, 

implementation, and defense of waterrelated initiatives for a variety of 

industries or states. To obtain assistance 

in responding to this contract, ICF has 

entered into contracts with the 

following subcontractors and 

consultants: The Cadmus Group, LLC 

(located in Waltham, Massachusetts), 

CognistX (located in Pittsburgh, 

Pennsylvania), Great Lakes 

Environmental Center, Inc. (located in 

Traverse City, Michigan), Horizon 

Systems Corporation (located in White 

Stone, Virginia), Innovate! Inc. (located 

in Alexandria, Virginia), LimnoTech 

Inc. (located in Ann Arbor, Michigan), 

Resources for the Future (located in 

Washington, DC), RTI International
