Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 217 / Friday, November 8, 2024 / Notices 88765 

1The EPA’s call for information for this review 

was issued on July 7, 2020 (85 FR 40641) and the 

Integrated Science Assessment for Lead was 

released on January 31, 2024 (89 FR 8425, February 

7, 2024). 

2 Volume 3 of the IRP is already available on the 

EPA website, along volumes 1 and 2. Volume 1 of 

the IRP provides background or contextual and 

historical material for this NAAQS review. All three 

volumes are available at https://www.epa.gov/ 

naaqs/lead-pb-air-quality-standards, accessible 

under ‘‘Planning Documents’’ for the current 

review. 

information you consider to be 

Confidential Business Information (CBI), 

Proprietary Business Information (PBI), 

or other information whose disclosure is 

restricted by statute. Multimedia 

submissions (audio, video, etc.) must be

The written comment is considered the 

official comment and should include 

discussion of all points you wish to 

make. The EPA will generally not 

consider comments or comment 

contents located outside of the primary 

submission (i.e., on the web, cloud, or 

other file sharing system). Please visit

submissions; and general guidance on 

making effective comments. 

II. Information About the Documents 

Two sections of the Clean Air Act 

(CAA or the Act) govern the 

establishment and revision of the 

NAAQS. Section 108 directs the 

Administrator to identify and list 

certain air pollutants and then issue ‘‘air 

quality criteria’’ for those pollutants. 

The 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 such 

pollutant in the ambient air . . .’’ (CAA 

section 108(a)(2)). Under section 109 of 

the Act, the EPA is then to establish 

primary (health-based) and secondary 

(welfare-based) NAAQS for each 

pollutant for which the EPA has issued 

air quality criteria. Section 109(d)(1) of 

the Act requires periodic review and, if 

appropriate, revision of existing air 

quality criteria. Revised air quality 

criteria are to reflect advances in 

scientific knowledge on the effects of 

the pollutant on public health and 

welfare. Under the same provision, the 

EPA is also to periodically review and, 

if appropriate, revise the NAAQS, based 

on the revised air quality criteria. 

The Act additionally requires 

appointment of an independent 

scientific review committee that is to 

periodically review the existing air 

quality criteria and NAAQS and to 

recommend any new standards and 

revisions of existing criteria and 

standards as may be appropriate (CAA 

section 109(d)(2)(A)–(B)). Since the 

early 1980s, the requirement for an 

independent scientific review 

committee has been fulfilled by the 

Clean Air Scientific Advisory 

Committee (CASAC). 

Presently the EPA is reviewing the air 

quality criteria and NAAQS for Pb.1 The 

document announced in this notice has 

been developed as a follow-up to 

Volume 3 of the IRP. Like the IRP, this 

Update has been prepared by the EPA’s 

Office of Air Quality Planning and 

Standards, within the Office of Air and 

Radiation. This document will be 

available on the EPA’s website at 

https://www.epa.gov/naaqs/lead-pb-airquality-standards, accessible under 

‘‘Planning Documents’’ for the current 

Pb NAAQS review. 

The IRP for the current review of the 

lead NAAQS is comprised of three 

volumes. Volume 3 is the planning 

document for quantitative analyses to be 

considered in the policy assessment 

(PA), including exposure and risk 

analyses. Volume 3 was the subject of a 

consultation with the CASAC Lead 

Panel on June 14, 2023, and is available 

on the EPA’s website.2 The Update 

provides additional updated detail on 

two aspects of the approach planned for 

quantitative human exposure and health 

risk analyses being performed in this 

NAAQS review. Comments on the 

Update should be submitted to the 

docket, as described above, by 

December 9, 2024. A separate Federal 

Register notice provided details about 

the CASAC Lead Panel consultation 

meeting and the process for 

participation in the consultation 

meeting on this document (89 FR 86801, 

October 31, 2024). The EPA will 

consider the consultation comments 

from the CASAC Lead Panel and public 

comments on this Update in its 

preparation of quantitative exposure 

and risk analyses for the PA. This 

document does not represent and 

should not be construed to represent 

any final EPA policy, viewpoint, or 

determination.
