or have previously submitted a small 

refinery exemption petition to the EPA 

under the Renewable Fuel Standard 

(RFS) program as described in 40 CFR 

part 80, subpart M. If you have further 

questions regarding the applicability of 

this action to a particular party, please 

contact the person listed in FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT.

III. Description of Program and 

Potential Disclosure of Information 

Claimed as CBI to Contractors 

The RFS program as established by 

the Energy Policy Act of 2005 and 

amended by the Energy Independence 

and Security Act of 2007 exempted 

small refineries from the renewable fuel 

standards through December 31, 2010. 

After this initial period, the statute 

allows that small refineries may, on a 

case-by-case basis, petition the EPA for 

an extension of their exemption. The 

EPA may approve such petitions if it 

finds that disproportionate economic 

hardship exists. The EPA continues to 

implement these provisions. In 

evaluating such petitions, the EPA must 

consult with the Department of Energy 

(DOE), and must consider the findings 

of the DOE study required under CAA 

211(o)(9)(A)(ii)(I) and other economic 

factors. Historically, companies seeking 

a small refinery exemption have 

claimed their petitions to be CBI. 

Information submitted under such a 

claim is handled in accordance with the 

EPA’s regulations at 40 CFR part 2, 

subpart B and in accordance with EPA 

procedures, including comprehensive 

system security plans (SSPs) that are 

consistent with those regulations. When 

the EPA has determined that disclosure 

of information claimed as CBI to 

contractors is necessary, the 

corresponding contract must address the 

appropriate use and handling of the 

information by the contractor and the 

contractor must require its personnel 

who require access to information 

claimed as CBI to sign written nondisclosure agreements before they are 

granted access to data. 

In accordance with 40 CFR 2.301(h), 

we have determined that the contractor 

listed below requires access to CBI 

submitted to the EPA under the Clean 

Air Act and in connection with the RFS 

program (40 CFR part 80, subpart M). 

We are issuing this Federal Register 

notice to inform all affected submitters 

of information that we plan to grant 

access to material that may be claimed 

as CBI to the contractors identified 

below on a need-to-know basis. 

Under DOE Contract Number 5F– 

32501, Stillwater Associates, 3 Rainstar, 

Irvine, California 92614, has provided 

and will continue to provide technical 

support that involves access to 

information claimed as CBI related to 40 

CFR part 80, subpart M. Access to data, 

including information claimed as CBI, 

will commence immediately upon 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register and will continue indefinitely 

as the Agency expects to receive 

additional petitions for small refinery 

exemptions for future annual program 

compliance periods. If the contract is 

extended, this access will continue for 

the remainder of the contract without 

further notice. 

Parties who wish further information 

about this Federal Register notice or 

about OTAQ’s disclosure of information 

claimed as CBI to contactors may 

contact the person listed under FOR

CASAC, as well as any updates 

concerning the teleconference 

announced in this notice, may be found 

on the EPA Web site at http://

www.epa.gov/casac. 

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), 

in part 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 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 

and oxides of sulfur. EPA is currently 

reviewing the secondary (welfare-based) 

ambient air quality standards for oxides 

of nitrogen and sulfur and has requested 

CASAC advice. 

Pursuant to FACA and EPA policy, 

notice is hereby given that the 

Secondary National Ambient Air 

Quality Standards Review Panel for 

Oxides of Nitrogen and Sulfur will hold 

a public teleconference to discuss its 

draft peer review report and the 

Chartered CASAC will discuss the 

disposition of the panel’s report at the 

end of the teleconference. The Chartered 

CASAC and CASAC Secondary NAAQS 

Review Panel will comply with the 

provisions of FACA and all appropriate 

SAB Staff Office procedural policies. 

Technical Contacts: Any technical 

questions concerning the Integrated 

Review Plan (IRP) for the Secondary 

(welfare-based) National Ambient Air 

Quality Standards for Oxides of 

Nitrogen and Oxides of Sulfur should be 

directed to Ms. Ginger Tennant 

(tennant.ginger@epa.gov), EPA Office 

Air Quality Planning and Standards. 

Availability of Meeting Materials: 

Prior to the teleconference, the review 

documents, agenda and other materials 

will be accessible through the 

‘‘Upcoming and Recent Meetings’’ link 

located at http://www.epa.gov/casac/. 

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 teleconference 

will be limited to three 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 Dr. Sue Shallal, DFO, or 

Mr. Aaron Yeow, DFO, in writing 

(preferably via email) at the contact 

information noted above by February 

25, 2016 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 February 

25, 2016 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 Dr. Sue 

Shallal at the contact information 

provided above. To request 

accommodation of a disability, please 

contact Dr. Shallal or Mr. Yeow 

preferably at least ten days prior to the 

teleconference to give EPA as much 

time as possible to process your request. 

Dated: February 2, 2016.

Deputy Director, EPA Science Advisory Staff 

Office.
