Abstract: The affected entities are 

subject to the general provisions of the 

New Service Performance Standards 

(NSPS) at 40 CFR part 60, subpart A, 

and any changes, or additions to the 

general provisions specified at 40 CFR 

part 60, subpart BB. Owners or 

operators of the affected facilities must 

submit initial notification, performance 

tests, and periodic reports and results. 

Owners or operators are also required to 

maintain records of the occurrence and 

duration of any startup, shutdown, or 

malfunction in the operation of an 

affected facility, or any period during 

which the monitoring system is 

inoperative. Reports are required, at a 

minimum, semiannually. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Owners and operators of kraft pulp 

mills. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subpart BB). 

Estimated number of respondents: 

112 (total). 

Frequency of response: Initially, 

occasionally and semiannually. 

Total estimated burden: 16,700 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.3(b). 

Total estimated cost: $6,001,000 (per 

year), includes $4,327,000 annualized 

capital or operation & maintenance 

costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

increase of 618 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by 

OMB. The increase is due to an industry 

growth since the last ICR renewal, 

resulting in an increased number of 

respondents subject to the standard.

Acting Director, Collection Strategies 

Division.

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 NAAQS 

and recommend any new NAAQS and 

revisions of existing criteria and 

NAAQS as may be appropriate. The 

CASAC shall also provide advice, 

information, and recommendations to 

the Administrator on the scientific and 

technical aspects of issues related to the 

criteria for air quality standards, 

research related to air quality, sources of 

air pollution, and of adverse effects 

which may result from various strategies 

to attain and maintain air quality 

standards. 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. 

EPA is currently reviewing the primary 

(health-based) NAAQS for nitrogen 

dioxide (NO2) as an indicator for health 

effects caused by the presence of oxides 

of nitrogen in the ambient air. 

Pursuant to FACA and EPA policy, 

notice is hereby given that the CASAC 

Oxides of Nitrogen Primary NAAQS 

Review Panel will hold a public meeting 

to peer review EPA’s Integrated Science 

Assessment (ISA) for Oxides of 

Nitrogen—Health Criteria (Second 

External Review Draft—January 2015) 

and Review of the National Ambient Air 

Quality Standards for Nitrogen Dioxide: 

Risk and Exposure Assessment Planning 

Document. The CASAC Oxides of 

Nitrogen Primary NAAQS Review Panel 

and the CASAC will comply with the 

provisions of FACA and all appropriate 

SAB Staff Office procedural policies. 

The CASAC Oxides of Nitrogen 

Primary NAAQS Review Panel 

previously peer reviewed EPA’s 

Integrated Science Assessment for 

Oxides of Nitrogen—Health Criteria 

(External Review Draft—November 

2013) as reported in a letter to the EPA 

Administrator, dated June 10, 2014 

(EPA–CASAC–14–002).

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 comments for a federal 

advisory committee to consider as it 

develops advice for EPA. Interested 

members of the public may submit 

relevant written or oral information on 

the topic of this advisory activity, and/ 

or the group conducting the activity, for 

the CASAC to consider during the 

advisory process. 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 contact the DFO directly. 

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 Mr. Aaron Yeow, DFO, 

in writing (preferably via email) at the 

contact information noted above by May 

26, 2015 to be placed on the list of 

public speakers. 

Written Statements: Written 

statements should be supplied to the 

DFO via email at the contact 

information noted above by May 26, 

2015 so that the information may be 

made available to the Panel members for 

their consideration. It is the SAB Staff 

Office general policy to post written 

comments on the Web page for the 

advisory meeting or teleconference. 

Submitters are requested to provide an 

unsigned version of each document 

because the SAB Staff Office does not 

publish documents with signatures on 

its Web sites. Members of the public 

should be aware that their personal 

contact information, if included in any 

written comments, may be posted to the 

CASAC Web site. 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 Mr. Aaron 

Yeow at (202) 564–2050 or yeow.aaron@

epa.gov. To request accommodation of a 

disability, please contact Mr. Yeow 

preferably at least ten days prior to each 

meeting to give EPA as much time as 

possible to process your request.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On February 6, 2006, the Agency 

published a final rule for the protection 

of human subjects in research (71 FR 24 

6138) that called for creating a new, 

independent human studies review 

board (i.e., HSRB). The HSRB is a 

federal advisory committee operating in 

accordance with the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act (FACA) 5 U.S.C. App. 2 

section 9 (Public Law 92–463). The 

HSRB provides advice, information, and 

recommendations to EPA on issues 

related to scientific and ethical aspects 

of human subjects research. The major 

objectives of the HSRB are to provide 

advice and recommendations on: (1) 

Research proposals and protocols that 

include human subjects; (2) reports of 

completed research with human 

subjects; and (3) how to strengthen 

EPA’s programs for protection of human 

subjects of research. Typically, the 

HSRB reviews protocols and completed 

studies involving pesticide studies, such 

as worker exposure studies with 

agricultural handlers applying 

pesticides in field conditions; janitorial 

maintenance personnel applying 

antimicrobial pesticides in commercial 

settings; and field efficacy studies for 

skin applied insect repellent products. 

The HSRB reports to the EPA 

Administrator through EPA’s Science 

Advisor. General information 

concerning the HSRB, including its 

charter, current membership, and 

activities can be found on the EPA Web 

site at http://www.epa.gov/osa/hsrb/. 

HSRB members serve as special 

government employees or regular 

government employees. Members are
