38318 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 123 / Wednesday, June 26, 2013 / Notices 

acknowledges that further refinements 

to the listed species assessment will be 

completed in future revisions and 

requests public comment on specific 

areas that will reduce the uncertainties 

associated with the characterization of 

risk to listed species identified in the 

current assessment. The human health 

risk assessment includes all uses of 

sulfur, including gas cartridges. The 

most recent ecological risk assessment 

includes all uses except gas cartridges. 

A separate ecological risk assessment for 

gas cartridge uses was conducted in 

2010 and can be found in the sulfur 

registration review docket. 

• Triflumizole. The registration 

review docket for triflumizole (EPA– 

HQ–OPP–2006–0115) opened in the 

Federal Register issue of March 28, 

2007 (72 FR 14548) (FRL–8118–3). 

Triflumizole is a broad spectrum, 

imidazole fungicide (group 3) that 

inhibits ergosterol biosynthesis in fungi. 

It is registered for use on a variety of 

agricultural crops, ornamentals in 

greenhouses/shade houses, interior 

scapes, and Christmas trees/conifers on 

nurseries and plantations. It is also 

registered for use as a pre-plant 

pineapple seed treatment. The Agency 

has conducted a human health risk 

assessment for dietary (food and 

drinking water), residential and 

occupational exposure pathways. The 

Agency has also conducted a 

quantitative ecological risk assessment, 

which includes a screening-level listed 

species assessment. EPA acknowledges 

that further refinements to the listed 

species assessment will be completed in 

future revisions and requests public 

comment on specific areas that will 

reduce the uncertainties associated with 

the characterization of risk to listed 

species identified in the current 

assessment.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Section 108 (a) of the Clean Air Act 

directs the Administrator to identify 

certain pollutants, which among other 

things, ‘‘cause or contribute to air 

pollution which may reasonably be 

anticipated to endanger public health or 

welfare’’ and to issue air quality criteria 

for them. These air quality criteria are 

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. . . .’’ 

Under section 109 of the Act, EPA is 

then to establish NAAQS for each 

pollutant for which EPA has issued 

criteria. Section 109 (d) of the Act 

subsequently requires periodic review 

and, if appropriate, revision of existing 

air quality criteria to reflect advances in 

scientific knowledge on the effects of 

the pollutant on public health or 

welfare. EPA is also to periodically 

review and, if appropriate, revise the 

NAAQS, based on the revised air quality 

criteria. 

Pb is one of six ‘‘criteria’’ pollutants 

for which EPA has established NAAQS. 

Periodically, EPA reviews the scientific 

basis for these standards by preparing 

an Integrated Science Assessment (ISA) 

(formerly called an Air Quality Criteria 

Document). The ISA provides a concise 

review, synthesis, and evaluation of the 

most policy-relevant science to serve as 

a scientific foundation for the review of 

the NAAQS. The Clean Air Scientific 

Advisory Committee (CASAC), an 

independent science advisory 

committee whose review and advisory 

functions are mandated by Section 109 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 123 / Wednesday, June 26, 2013 / Notices 38319 

(d) (2) of the Clean Air Act, is charged 

(among other things) with independent 

scientific review of EPA’s air quality 

criteria. 

On February 26, 2010 (75 FR 8934), 

EPA formally initiated its current 

review of the air quality criteria for Pb, 

requesting the submission of recent 

scientific information on specified 

topics. Soon after, a science policy 

workshop was held to identify key 

policy issues and questions to frame the 

review of the Pb NAAQS (75 FR 20843). 

Drawing from the workshop 

discussions, a draft of EPA’s ‘‘Integrated 

Review Plan for the National Ambient 

Air Quality Standards for Lead’’ (EPA/ 

452/D–11/001) was developed and 

made available in March 2011 for public 

comment and was discussed by the 

CASAC Pb Review Panel (CASAC 

panel) via a publicly accessible 

teleconference consultation on May 5, 

2011 (76 FR 20347, 76 FR 21346). The 

final Integrated Review Plan was 

released in December 2011 (76 FR 

76972) and is available at http://www.

epa.gov/ttn/naaqs/standards/pb/s_pb_

2010_pd.html. 

As part of the science assessment 

phase of the review, EPA held a 

workshop in December 2010 to discuss, 

with invited scientific experts, initial 

draft materials prepared in the 

development of the ISA (75 FR 69078). 

The first external review draft ISA for 

Pb was released on May 6, 2011 

(http://cfpub.epa.gov/ncea/isa/

recordisplay.cfm?deid=226323). The 

CASAC panel met at a public meeting 

on July 20, 2011, to review the draft ISA 

(76 FR 36120). Subsequently, on 

December 9, 2011, the CASAC provided 

a consensus letter for their review to the 

Administrator of the EPA (http://

yosemite.epa.gov/sab/sabproduct.nsf/

fedrgstr_activites/D3E2E8488025344

D852579610068A8A1/$File/EPACASAC-12-002-unsigned.pdf). The 

second external review draft ISA for Pb 

was released on February 2, 2012 

(http://cfpub.epa.gov/ncea/isa/

recordisplay.cfm?deid=235331). The 

CASAC panel met at a public meeting 

on April 10, 2012, to review the draft 

ISA (77 FR 14783). Subsequently, on 

July 20, 2012, the CASAC provided a 

consensus letter for their review to the 

Administrator of the EPA (http://

yosemite.epa.gov/sab/sabproduct.nsf/

13B1FD83815FA11885257A410

064E0DC/$File/EPA-CASAC-12-005- 

unsigned.pdf). The third external review 

draft ISA for Pb was released on 

November 27, 2012 (http:// 

cfpub.epa.gov/ncea/isa/ 

recordisplay.cfm?deid=242655). The 

CASAC panel met at a public meeting 

on February 5, 2013, to review the draft 

ISA (78 FR 938). Subsequently, on June 

4, 2013, the CASAC provided a 

consensus letter for their review to the 

Administrator of the EPA (http://

yosemite.epa.gov/sab/sabproduct.nsf/0/

39A3C8177D869EA085257B800

06C7684/$File/EPA-CASAC-13-004+

unsigned.pdf). The letters from CASAC, 

as well as public comments received on 

the ISA drafts can be found in Docket 

ID No. EPA–HQ–ORD–2011–0051. 

EPA has considered comments by the 

CASAC panel and by the public in 

preparing this final ISA.
