SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Introduction 

The United States Department of the 

Interior (DOI), the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service, and the National Park 

Service, in coordination with the U.S. 

Department of Agriculture (USDA), the 

Forest Service (the agencies) publish 

this notice to announce the availability 

of a draft addendum to the Federal Land 

Managers’ Air Quality Related Values 

Work Group’s Phase 1 Report, which the 

agencies last revised in 2010 (FLAG 

2010 report). We are proposing an 

addendum to add a contextual 

consideration provision to the FLAG 

2010 report concerning the FLM’s 

analysis of temporary emissions for 

overall low-emitting facilities. We invite 

comments and information from the 

public and local, State, Tribal, and 

Federal agencies. 

Background 

FLAG was formed by the Department 

of the Interior’s National Park Service 

and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and 

the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s 

Forest Service, (1) to develop a more 

consistent and objective approach for 

these agencies’ Federal land managers 

(FLMs) to evaluate air pollution effects 

on their air quality related values 

(AQRVs) in Federal class I areas, as 

defined by the Clean Air Act, and (2) to 

provide State permitting authorities and 

potential permit applicants consistency 

on how to assess the impacts of new and 

existing sources on AQRVs. 

The FLAG effort focuses on the effects 

of the air pollutants that could affect the 

health and status of resources in areas 

managed by the agencies, primarily 

such pollutants as ozone, particulate 

matter, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, 

nitrates, and sulfates. 

The initial FLAG Phase 1 Report was 

published in 2000. On October 27, 2010, 

the National Park Service, in 

cooperation with the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service and the Forest Service, 

published a revised FLAG report (75 FR 

66125). This notice announces the 

availability of a draft addendum to the 

FLAG 2010 revision to add a contextual 

consideration to FLAG 2010 report 

concerning the FLM’s analysis of 

temporary emissions for overall lowemitting facilities. The draft addendum 

would not change the FLM’s role or 

affirmative responsibilities under the 

Clean Air Act. The draft addendum 

seeks to assist FLAG 2010 report users 

by describing how the FLMs will 

consider temporary emission for overall 

low-emitting facilities as it analyzes 

effects to AQRVs in Federal class I areas 

as part of the FLMs responsibilities 

under the Clean Air Act. 

Authority: Clean Air Act of 1970, as 

amended (42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq.).

Assistant Secretary for Fish and Wildlife and 

Parks.
