SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. General Information 

A. What should I consider as I prepare 

my comments for EPA? 

1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this 

information to EPA through http:// 

www.regulations.gov or e-mail. Clearly 

mark the part or all of the information 

that you claim to be CBI. For CBI 

information in a disk or CD–ROM that 

you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the 

disk or CD–ROM as CBI and then 

identify electronically within the disk or 

CD–ROM the specific information that 

is claimed as CBI. In addition to one 

complete version of the comment that 

includes information claimed as CBI, a 

copy of the comment that does not 

contain the information claimed as CBI 

must be submitted for inclusion in the 

public docket. Information so marked 

will not be disclosed except in 

accordance with procedures set forth in 

40 CFR part 2. 

2. Tips for Preparing Your Comments. 

When submitting comments, remember 

to: 

• Identify the rulemaking by docket 

number and other identifying 

information (subject heading, Federal 

Register date and page number). 

• Follow directions—The agency may 

ask you to respond to specific questions 

or organize comments by referencing a 

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 

or section number. 

• Explain why you agree or disagree; 

suggest alternatives and substitute 

language for your requested changes. 

• Describe any assumptions and 

provide any technical information and/ 

or data that you used. 

• If you estimate potential costs or 

burdens, explain how you arrived at 

your estimate in sufficient detail to 

allow for it to be reproduced. 

• Provide specific examples to 

illustrate your concerns, and suggest 

alternatives.

possible, avoiding the use of profanity 

or personal threats. 

• Make sure to submit your 

comments by the comment period 

deadline identified. 

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. 

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), 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, EPA is reviewing the 

NAAQS for Pb.1 The First Draft ISA was 

released in early May (76 FR 26284) and 

reviewed by CASAC at a public meeting 

announced in a separate notice (76 FR 

36120). The document that is the subject 

of today’s notice considers the extent to 

which information and conclusions 

presented in the First Draft ISA provide 

support for the development of 

quantitative assessments of risk and 

exposure for health and/or welfare 

effects. This document is available on 

the EPA’s Technology Transfer Network 

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

naaqs/standards/pb/s_pb_index.html. 

The document is accessible in the 

‘‘Documents from Current Review’’ 

section under ‘‘Planning Documents.’’ 

The REA Planning Document has 

been made available for consultation 

with CASAC and for public comment. 

Comments should be submitted to the 

docket, as described above. The CASAC 

consultation on this planning document 

occurred on July 21, 2011. A separate 

Federal Register notice published on 

June 21, 2011 (76 FR 36120) provided 

additional details about this meeting 

and the process for participation. The 

document that is the subject of today’s 

notice does not represent and should 

not be construed to represent any final 

EPA policy, viewpoint, or 

determination.
