§ 3.1000(b) through (e) of 40 CFR part 3, 

subpart D provides special procedures 

for program revisions and modifications 

to allow electronic reporting, to be used 

at the option of the state, tribe or local 

government in place of procedures 

available under existing programspecific authorization regulations. An 

application submitted under the 

Subpart D procedures must show that 

the state, tribe or local government has 

sufficient legal authority to implement 

the electronic reporting components of 

the programs covered by the application 

and will use electronic document 

receiving systems that meet the 

applicable Subpart D requirements. 

On July 20, 2011, the Indiana 

Department of the Environmental 

Management (IDEM) submitted an 

application for its Network Discharge 

Monitoring Report (NetDMR) electronic 

document receiving system for revision 

of its EPA-authorized programs under 

title 40 CFR. EPA reviewed IDEM’s 

request to revise its EPA-authorized 

programs and, based on this review, 

EPA determined that the application 

met the standards for approval of 

authorized program revisions set out in 

40 CFR part 3, subpart D. In accordance 

with 40 CFR 3.1000(d), this notice of 

EPA’s decision to approve Indiana’s 

request for revision to its 40 CFR Part 

123—National Pollutant Discharge 

Elimination System (NPDES) State 

Program Requirements and Part 403— 

General Pretreatment Regulations for 

Existing and New Sources of Pollution 

EPA-authorized programs for electronic 

reporting of information submitted 

under 40 CFR parts 122 and 403 is being 

published in the Federal Register. 

IDEM was notified of EPA’s 

determination to approve its application 

with respect to the authorized programs 

listed above.

Release of Final Integrated Review 

Plan for the National Ambient Air 

Quality Standards for Lead 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of Availability. 

SUMMARY: On or about November 18, 

2011, the EPA will make available to the 

public the final document, Integrated 

Review Plan for the National Ambient 

Air Quality Standards for Lead. This 

document contains the plans for the 

review of the air quality criteria and 

national ambient air quality standards 

(NAAQS) for lead (Pb). The Pb NAAQS 

provide for the protection of public 

health and the environment from Pb 

emitted to ambient air.

and related information will be

Current Review’’ section under 

‘‘Planning Documents.’’ 

II. Information Specific to This 

Document 

Two sections of the Clean Air Act 

govern the establishment and revision of 

the NAAQS. Section 108 (42 U.S.C. 

section 7408) directs the Administrator 

to identify and list certain air pollutants 

and then to issue air quality criteria for 

those pollutants. The Administrator is 

to list those air pollutants that in her 

‘‘judgment, cause or contribute to air 

pollution which may reasonably be 

anticipated to endanger public health or 

welfare;’’ ‘‘the presence of which in the 

ambient air results from numerous or 

diverse mobile or stationary sources;’’ 

and ‘‘for which * * * [the 

Administrator] plans to issue air quality 

criteria * * *’’ Air quality criteria are 

intended 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 * * *.’’ 42 U.S.C. 7408(b). Under 

section 109 (42 U.S.C. 7409), the EPA 

establishes primary (health-based) and 

secondary (welfare-based) NAAQS for 

pollutants for which air quality criteria 

are issued. Section 109(d) 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. Section 109(d)(2) 

requires that an independent scientific 

review committee ‘‘shall complete a 

review of the criteria * * * and the 

national primary and secondary ambient 

air quality standards * * * and shall 

recommend to the Administrator any 

new * * * standards and revisions of 

existing criteria and standards as may be 

appropriate * * *.’’ Since the early 

1980’s, this independent review 

function has been performed by the 

Clean Air Scientific Advisory 

Committee (CASAC). 

Presently, the EPA is reviewing the 

NAAQS for Pb.1 The document 

announced today has been developed as 

part of the planning phase for the 

review. This phase began with a science 

policy workshop to identify issues and 

questions to frame the review. Drawing 

from the workshop discussions, a draft 

integrated review plan (IRP) was 

prepared jointly by the EPA’s National 

Center for Environmental Assessment, 

within the Office of Research and 

Development, and the EPA’s Office of 

Air Quality Planning and Standards, 

within the Office of Air and Radiation. 

The draft IRP was the subject of a 

consultation with CASAC on May 5, 

2011, and was available for public 

comment (76 FR 20347). The final IRP 

announced today has been prepared 

after consideration of CASAC and 

public comments. This document 

presents the EPA’s current plans for the 

schedule for the entire review, the 

process for conducting the review, and 

the key policy-relevant science issues 

that will guide the review. This 

document does not represent and 

should not be construed to represent 

any final EPA policy, viewpoint, or 

determination.

Good Neighbor Environmental Board 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of meeting. 

SUMMARY: Under the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act, Public Law 92463, EPA 

gives notice of a meeting of the Good 

Neighbor Environmental Board (Board). 

The Board usually meets three times 

each calendar year, twice at different 

locations along the U.S. border with 

Mexico, and once in Washington, DC. It 

was created in 1992 by the Enterprise 

for the Americas Initiative Act, Public 

Law 102–532, 7 USC Section 5404. 

Implementing authority was delegated 

to the Administrator of EPA under 

Executive Order 12916. The Board is 

responsible for providing advice to the 

President and the Congress on 

environmental and infrastructure issues 

and needs within the States contiguous 

to Mexico in order to improve the 

quality of life of persons residing on the 

United States side of the border. The 

statute calls for the Board to have 

representatives from U.S. Government 

agencies; the states of Arizona, 

California, New Mexico and Texas; and 

tribal and private organizations with 

experience in environmental and 

infrastructure issues along the U.S.- 

Mexico border. 

The purpose of the meeting is to begin 

discussion on the Board’s 15th report, 

which will focus on the need for 

implementation of environmental and 

infrastructure projects within the States 

of the United States contiguous to 

Mexico. A copy of the meeting agenda 

will be posted at http://www.epa.gov/ 

ocem/gneb. 

DATES: The Good Neighbor 

Environmental Board will hold an open 

meeting on Wednesday, December 14, 

from 9 a.m. (registration at 8:30 a.m.) to 

12:15 p.m. and resume again from 5 

p.m. to 6 p.m. The following day, 

December 15, the Board will meet from 

8:30 a.m. until 2 p.m. Due to an 

unanticipated change of venue, EPA is 

announcing the meeting with less than 

15 days public notice. 

ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held at 

the J.W. Marriott Hotel located at 1331
