SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Information About the Workshop 

The Agency’s last review of the 

particulate matter (PM) national 

ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) 

was completed in September 2006 with 

the promulgation of revisions to some 

aspects of the PM standards to provide 

requisite protection of public health and 

welfare (71 FR 61144). Initiating the 

next review of these standards at this 

time is consistent with the Clean Air 

Act’s requirement that the Agency 

periodically review the latest scientific 

information and the standards. It is also 

consistent with the Agency’s new 

NAAQS review process.1 This 

workshop will provide an opportunity 

for external experts as well as EPA staff 

to highlight significant new and 

emerging PM research, and to make 

individual recommendations to the 

Agency regarding the design and scope 

of the review for the primary (healthbased) PM standards 2 to ensure that it 

addresses key policy-relevant issues and 

considers the new science relevant to 

informing our understanding of these 

issues. 

We intend that workshop discussions 

will build upon three prior publications 

or events: 3

1. Provisional Assessment of Recent 

Studies on Health Effects of Particulate 

Matter Exposure. This assessment, 

which was completed by EPA’s NCEA 

in July 2006, evaluated studies 

published too late for inclusion in the 

final PM criteria document in the last 

review. 

2. National Ambient Air Quality 

Standards for Particulate Matter: Final 

Rule (71 FR 61144, October 17, 2006). 

The preamble to the final rule included 

detailed discussions of policy-relevant 

issues central to the last review. 

3. Materials from the December 2006 

workshop entitled, ‘‘Interpretation of 

Epidemiologic Studies of Multipollutant Exposure and Health Effects.’’

The workshop dealt with important 

issues relevant to this review, such as 

the interpretation and understanding of 

criteria air pollutant health effects 

analyses in population-level 

epidemiologic studies, with a focus on 

multi-pollutant exposures (71 FR 67566, 

November 22, 2006). 

Workshop participants are 

encouraged to review each of these 

documents and/or supporting materials 

thoroughly before the meeting begins, as 

they provide important insights into 

new scientific advances and key policyrelevant questions. 

Based in large part on the input 

received during this workshop, EPA 

intends to develop a draft integrated PM 

NAAQS review plan that will outline 

the schedule, process, and approaches 

for evaluating the relevant scientific 

information and addressing the key 

policy-relevant issues to be considered 

in this review. The Clean Air Scientific 

Advisory Committee (CASAC) will be 

asked to conduct a consultation with the 

Agency on the draft integrated plan later 

this year, and the public will have the 

opportunity to comment on it as well. 

The final integrated plan will be used to 

frame each of the major elements of the 

PM review under the new NAAQS 

process: an integrated science 

assessment document, a risk/exposure 

assessment report, and a policy 

assessment to be published as an 

advance notice of proposed rulemaking 

(ANPR).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Summary of Information About the 

Workshops 

The U.S. Clean Air Act requires that 

EPA carry out periodic reviews of the 

national ambient air quality standards 

(NAAQS) for major ‘‘criteria’’ air 

pollutants and to revise the NAAQS for 

a given pollutant, as appropriate. The 

Agency is in the process of reviewing 

the secondary (welfare-based) NAAQS 

for Oxides of Nitrogen (NOX) and Sulfur 

Oxides (SOX). EPA has recognized the 

merit of integrating the science 

assessment for these two pollutants, 

particularly for ecological and welfare 

effects, based on the important 

interrelationships for NOX and SOX in 

both their atmospheric chemistry and 

their effects on the environment. 

Therefore, EPA is conducting a joint
