86802 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 211 / Thursday, October 31, 2024 / Notices 

Federal Officer (DFO), SAB Staff Office, 

by telephone at (202) 564–2050 or via 

email at yeow.aaron@epa.gov. General 

information concerning the CASAC, as 

well as any updates concerning the 

meetings announced in this notice can 

be found on the CASAC website: 

https://casac.epa.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: The CASAC was 

established pursuant to the Clean Air 

Act (CAA) Amendments of 1977, 

codified at 42 U.S.C. 7409(d)(2), to 

review air quality criteria and NAAQS 

and recommend to the EPA 

Administrator any new NAAQS and 

revisions of existing criteria and 

NAAQS as may be appropriate. The 

CASAC shall also: advise the EPA 

Administrator of areas in which 

additional knowledge is required to 

appraise the adequacy and basis of 

existing, new, or revised NAAQS; 

describe the research efforts necessary 

to provide the required information; 

advise the EPA Administrator on the 

relative contribution to air pollution 

concentrations of natural as well as 

anthropogenic activity; and advise the 

EPA Administrator of any adverse 

public health, welfare, social, economic, 

or energy effects which may result from 

various strategies for attainment and 

maintenance of such NAAQS. As 

amended, 5 U.S.C., App. section 

109(d)(1) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) 

requires that EPA carry out a periodic 

review and revision, as appropriate, of 

the air quality criteria and the NAAQS 

for the six ‘‘criteria’’ air pollutants, 

including lead. 

The CASAC is a Federal Advisory 

Committee chartered under the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5 

U.S.C., App. 2, and conducts business 

in accordance with FACA and related 

regulations. The CASAC and the 

CASAC Lead Panel will comply with 

the provisions of FACA and all 

appropriate SAB Staff Office procedural 

policies. Pursuant to FACA and EPA 

policy, notice is hereby given that the 

CASAC Lead Panel will hold a public 

meeting to provide additional 

consultative advice on aspects of the 

approach for quantitative exposure and 

risk analyses as a follow-up to prior 

CASAC Lead Panel advice on the 

Integrated Review Plan (IRP) for Review 

of the National Ambient Air Quality 

Standards for Lead, Volume 3: Planning 

for Quantitative Exposure/Risk Analyses 

(External Review Draft). 

Technical Contacts: Any technical 

questions concerning the quantitative 

exposure and risk analyses should be 

directed to Dr. Zachary Pekar 

(pekar.zachary@epa.gov) or Dr. Deirdre 

Murphy (murphy.deirdre@epa.gov). 

Availability of Meeting Materials: 

Prior to the meeting, the review 

documents, agenda and other materials 

will be accessible on the CASAC 

website: https://casac.epa.gov. 

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 relevant 

comments on the topic of this advisory 

activity, including the charge to the 

CASAC and the EPA review documents, 

and/or the group conducting the 

activity, for the CASAC to consider as 

it develops advice for EPA. Input from 

the public to the CASAC will have the 

most impact if it provides specific 

scientific or technical information or 

analysis for CASAC to consider or if it 

relates to the clarity or accuracy of the 

technical information. Members of the 

public wishing to provide comment 

should follow the instructions below to 

submit comments. 

Oral Statements: Individuals or 

groups requesting an oral presentation 

during the public meeting will be 

limited to five 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 Mr. Aaron Yeow, DFO, 

in writing (preferably via email) at the 

contact information noted above by 

November 15, 2024, to be placed on the 

list of public speakers. 

Written Statements: Written 

statements will be accepted throughout 

the advisory process; however, for 

timely consideration by CASAC 

members, statements should be 

supplied to the DFO (preferably via 

email) at the contact information noted 

above by November 15, 2024. 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 websites. Members of the public 

should be aware that their personal 

contact information, if included in any 

written comments, may be posted to the 

CASAC website. 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 Mr. Aaron 

Yeow at (202) 564–2050 or yeow.aaron@

epa.gov. To request accommodation of a 

disability, please contact the DFO, at the 

contact information noted above, 

preferably at least ten days prior to each 

meeting, to give EPA as much time as 

possible to process your request.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION 

AGENCY 

[EPA–R01–OW–2024–0492; FRL–12374–01– 

R1] 

Notice of Preliminary Designation of 

Certain Stormwater Discharges in the 

Commonwealth of Massachusetts and 

Notice of Availability of Draft Permit 

Under the National Pollutant Discharge 

Elimination System of the Clean Water 

Act 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Regional Administrator 

of the Environmental Protection Agency 

Region 1 (‘‘EPA’’) is providing notice of 

two proposed actions today. The first 

action is the Preliminary Designation of 

certain stormwater discharges from 

commercial, industrial, and institutional 

properties with one acre or more of 

impervious surface in the Charles, 

Neponset, and Mystic River watersheds 

in Massachusetts for regulation under 

the Clean Water Act’s (‘‘CWA’’) National 

Pollutant Discharge Elimination System 

(‘‘NPDES’’) permitting program. Second, 

the Regional Administrator of the EPA 

Region 1 is concurrently providing 

notice of availability of a draft NPDES 

General Permit (‘‘GP’’) for Private 

Commercial Industrial, and Institutional 

(‘‘CII’’) Stormwater Discharges in the 

Charles, Mystic, and Neponset River 

Watersheds in Massachusetts (‘‘Draft CII 

GP’’). The Draft CII GP would regulate 

the identified stormwater discharges, as 

it is authorized to do under section 402 

of the CWA, by requiring the 

implementation of Best Management 

Practices (‘‘BMPs’’) and meeting other 

limitations to meet water quality 

standards.
