Current Review’’ section under 

‘‘Planning Documents.’’ 

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. 

section 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 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, the EPA is reviewing the 

NAAQS for Pb.1 The document 

announced today has been developed as 

part of the planning phase for the 

review. This phase began with a science 

policy workshop to identify issues and 

questions to frame the review. Drawing 

from the workshop discussions, a draft 

integrated review plan (IRP) was 

prepared jointly by the EPA’s National 

Center for Environmental Assessment, 

within the Office of Research and 

Development, and the EPA’s Office of 

Air Quality Planning and Standards, 

within the Office of Air and Radiation. 

The draft IRP was the subject of a 

consultation with CASAC on May 5, 

2011, and was available for public 

comment (76 FR 20347). The final IRP 

announced today has been prepared 

after consideration of CASAC and 

public comments. This document 

presents the EPA’s current plans for the 

schedule for the entire review, the 

process for conducting the review, and 

the key policy-relevant science issues 

that will guide the review. This 

document does not represent and 

should not be construed to represent 

any final EPA policy, viewpoint, or 

determination.

Good Neighbor Environmental Board 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of meeting. 

SUMMARY: Under the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act, Public Law 92463, EPA 

gives notice of a meeting of the Good 

Neighbor Environmental Board (Board). 

The Board usually meets three times 

each calendar year, twice at different 

locations along the U.S. border with 

Mexico, and once in Washington, DC. It 

was created in 1992 by the Enterprise 

for the Americas Initiative Act, Public 

Law 102–532, 7 USC Section 5404. 

Implementing authority was delegated 

to the Administrator of EPA under 

Executive Order 12916. The Board is 

responsible for providing advice to the 

President and the Congress on 

environmental and infrastructure issues 

and needs within the States contiguous 

to Mexico in order to improve the 

quality of life of persons residing on the 

United States side of the border. The 

statute calls for the Board to have 

representatives from U.S. Government 

agencies; the states of Arizona, 

California, New Mexico and Texas; and 

tribal and private organizations with 

experience in environmental and 

infrastructure issues along the U.S.- 

Mexico border. 

The purpose of the meeting is to begin 

discussion on the Board’s 15th report, 

which will focus on the need for 

implementation of environmental and 

infrastructure projects within the States 

of the United States contiguous to 

Mexico. A copy of the meeting agenda 

will be posted at http://www.epa.gov/ 

ocem/gneb. 

DATES: The Good Neighbor 

Environmental Board will hold an open 

meeting on Wednesday, December 14, 

from 9 a.m. (registration at 8:30 a.m.) to 

12:15 p.m. and resume again from 5 

p.m. to 6 p.m. The following day, 

December 15, the Board will meet from 

8:30 a.m. until 2 p.m. Due to an 

unanticipated change of venue, EPA is 

announcing the meeting with less than 

15 days public notice. 

ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held at

Notice of Receipt of, and Opportunity 

To Comment on, a Plan by Fiberight of 

Blairstown LLC for Separation of 

Recyclable Material From Municipal 

Solid Waste Intended for Use as a 

Feedstock for Renewable Fuel 

Production at a Blairstown, IA 

Biorefinery 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: EPA is issuing notice of 

receipt of, and opportunity to comment 

on, a plan by Fiberight of Blairstown 

LLC to remove recyclables from 

municipal solid waste (MSW) prior to 

its use as a feedstock for renewable fuel 

production at their biorefinery in 

Blairstown, Iowa. Submission of a 

separation plan is a registration 

requirement under the Renewable Fuel 

Standard Program regulations 

established under Clean Air Act section 

211(o) for producers seeking to make 

qualifying renewable fuel from MSWderived feedstock. The separation plan 

must demonstrate ongoing verification 

that there is separation of recyclable 

paper, cardboard, plastics, rubber, 

textiles, metals, and glass wastes to the 

extent reasonably practicable. MSWderived feedstock collected according to 

a separation plan approved by EPA may 

qualify as ‘‘separated MSW’’ in biofuel 

production pathways authorized for 

generation of Renewable Identification 

Numbers (RINs) under the Renewable 

Fuel Standard Program. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before January 9, 2012.
