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. Dated: December 5, 2011. Mary E. Henigin, Acting Director, Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards.

**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.

**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 makequalifying 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 theextent 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.
