ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION 

AGENCY 

[EPA–HQ–OAR–2008–0015; FRL–9219–1] 

Release of Final Document Related to 

the Review of the National Ambient Air 

Quality Standards for Carbon 

Monoxide 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of Availability. 

SUMMARY: The Office of Air Quality 

Planning and Standards (OAQPS) of 

EPA is announcing the availability of a 

final document titled Policy Assessment 

for the Review of the Carbon Monoxide 

National Ambient Air Quality 

Standards (PA). The PA contains staff 

analyses of the scientific bases for 

alternative policy options for 

consideration by the Agency prior to 

rulemaking. 

DATES: The PA is now available. 

ADDRESSES: The document will be 

available primarily via the Internet at 

the following Web site: http:// 

www.epa.gov/ttn/naaqs/standards/co/ 

s_co_index.html. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

questions related to this document, 

please contact Dr. Deirdre Murphy, 

Office of Air Quality Planning and 

Standards (Mail code C504–06), U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency, 

Research Triangle Park, NC 27711; email: murphy.deirdre@epa.gov; 

telephone: 919–541–0729; fax: 919– 

541–0237. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under 

section 108(a) of the Clean Air Act 

(CAA), the Administrator identifies and 

lists certain pollutants which ‘‘cause or 

contribute to air pollution which may 

reasonably be anticipated to endanger 

public health or welfare.’’ The EPA then 

issues air quality criteria for these listed 

pollutants, which are commonly 

referred to as ‘‘criteria pollutants.’’ The 

air quality criteria are to ‘‘accurately 

reflect the latest scientific knowledge 

useful in indicating the kind and extent 

of all identifiable effects on public 

health or welfare which may be 

expected from the presence of [a] 

pollutant in the ambient air, in varying 

quantities.’’ Under section 109 of the 

CAA, EPA establishes primary (healthbased) and secondary (welfare-based) 

national ambient air quality standards 

(NAAQS) for pollutants for which air 

quality criteria are issued. Section 

109(d) of the CAA requires periodic 

review and, if appropriate, revision of 

existing air quality criteria. The revised 

air quality criteria reflect advances in 

scientific knowledge on the effects of 

the pollutant on public health or 

welfare. The EPA is also required to 

periodically review and revise the 

NAAQS, if appropriate, based on the 

revised criteria. 

Presently, EPA is reviewing the 

NAAQS for carbon monoxide (CO).1

The document announced today, Policy 

Assessment for the Review of the Carbon 

Monoxide National Ambient Air Quality 

Standards, contains staff analyses of the 

scientific bases for alternative policy 

options for consideration by the Agency 

prior to rulemaking. This document, 

which builds upon the historical ‘‘Staff 

Paper,’’ will serve to ‘‘bridge the gap’’ 

between the available scientific 

information and the judgments required 

of the Administrator in determining 

whether it is appropriate to retain or 

revise the standards.2 The PA builds 

upon information presented in the 

Integrated Science Assessment for 

Carbon Monoxide and the Quantitative 

Risk and Exposure Assessment for 

Carbon Monoxide—Amended. An 

earlier draft of the PA document was 

released for the Clean Air Scientific 

Advisory Committee (CASAC) review 

and public comment in March 2010 (75 

FR 10252), and was the subject of a 

CASAC review meeting on March 22– 

23, 2010 (74 FR 54042). In preparing the 

final PA, EPA has considered comments 

received from CASAC and the public on 

the earlier draft document. This final PA 

document is available through the 

Agency’s Technology Transfer Network 

(TTN) Web site at http://www.epa.gov/ 

ttn/naaqs/standards/co/ 

s_co_index.html. This document may be 

accessed in the ‘‘Documents from 

Current Review’’ section under ‘‘Policy 

Assessments.’’

SUMMARY: The Federal Communications 

Commission, as part of its continuing 

effort to reduce paperwork burden 

invites the general public and other 

Federal agencies to take this 

opportunity to comment on the 

following information collection(s), as 

required by the Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501–3520. 

Comments are requested concerning: (a) 

Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper

collection burden for small business 

concerns with fewer than 25 employees. 

The FCC may not conduct or sponsor 

a collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number. No person shall be subject to 

any penalty for failing to comply with 

a collection of information subject to the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that 

does not display a valid OMB control
