Release of Final Documents Related to 

the Review of the National Ambient Air 

Quality Standards for Ozone 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is announcing the 

availability of three final documents 

titled Policy Assessment for the Review 

of the Ozone National Ambient Air 

Quality Standards (PA); Health Risk 

and Exposure Assessment for Ozone 

(HREA); and Welfare Risk and Exposure 

Assessment for Ozone (WREA). The PA, 

HREA, and WREA have been prepared 

by staff in the EPA’s Office of Air 

Quality Planning and Standards 

(OAQPS) as part of the Agency’s 

ongoing review of the primary (healthbased) and secondary (welfare-based) 

national ambient air quality standards 

(NAAQS) for ozone (O3). The PA 

presents analyses and staff conclusions 

regarding the policy implications of the 

key scientific and technical information 

that informs this review of the O3

NAAQS. The HREA and WREA present 

analyses of O3 exposures and risks. 

DATES: The PA, HREA, and WREA will 

be made available on or about August 

29, 2014. 

ADDRESSES: These documents will be 

available primarily via the Internet at 

the following Web site: http://

www.epa.gov/ttn/naaqs/standards/

ozone/s_o3_index.html. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Susan Stone, Office of Air Quality 

Planning and Standards (mail code 

C504–06), U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency, Research Triangle 

Park, NC 27711; telephone number: 

919–541–1146; fax number: 919–541– 

0237; email address: stone.susan@

epa.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Two 

sections of the Clean Air Act (CAA) 

govern the establishment and revision of 

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

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 EPA is also 

required to periodically review and, if 

appropriate, revise the NAAQS 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 O3. The PA, HREA, and 

WREA build upon information 

presented in the Integrated Science 

Assessment for Ozone 1 prepared for this 

review by the EPA’s Office of Research 

and Development (ORD). Drafts of the 

PA, HREA, and WREA were reviewed 

by CASAC, and were commented upon 

by members of the public, at public 

meetings held on September 11–13, 

2012, and March 25–27, 2014. The 

CASAC issued final reports on the 

second drafts of these documents on 

June 18, 2014 (WREA), June 26, 2014 

(PA), and July 1, 2014 (HREA). The final 

versions of the PA, HREA, and WREA 

reflect staff’s consideration of the 

comments and recommendations made 

by CASAC, as well as comments made 

by members of the public, in its review 

of the draft versions of these documents. 

The final PA, HREA, and WREA are 

available through the Agency’s 

Technology Transfer Network (TTN) 

Web site at http://www.epa.gov/ttn/
