OAR] 

Release of Integrated Review Plan for 

the Primary National Ambient Air 

Quality Standards for Oxides of 

Nitrogen 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of Availability. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is announcing the 

availability of a final document titled 

Integrated Review Plan for the Primary 

National Ambient Air Quality 

Standards for Nitrogen Dioxide (IRP). 

This document contains the plans for 

the review of the air quality criteria for 

health for oxides of nitrogen and the 

primary national ambient air quality 

standards (NAAQS) for nitrogen dioxide 

(NO2). The primary NO2 NAAQS 

provide for the protection of public 

health from exposure to oxides of 

nitrogen in ambient air. 

DATES: The IRP will be available on or 

about June 30, 2014. 

ADDRESSES: This document will be 

available primarily via the Internet at 

the following Web site: http://

www.epa.gov/ttn/naaqs/standards/nox/

s_nox_2012_pd.html.

Protection Agency, Research Triangle

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Two 

sections of the Clean Air Act (CAA) 

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), 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, if appropriate, 

revise the NAAQS 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 

primary NAAQS for NO2.1 The final 

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.2 Drawing from the workshop 

discussions, a draft 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 (79 FR 7184, 

February 6, 2014).3 The draft IRP was 

reviewed by CASAC at a meeting on 

March 12, 2014 (79 FR 8701, February 

13, 2014). Comments from CASAC on 

the draft IRP were provided to the EPA 

in a June 10, 2014, letter (Frey, 2014).4

The final IRP includes consideration of 

CASAC and public comments received 

on the draft IRP. This document 

presents the current plan and specifies 

the schedule for the entire review, the 

process for conducting the review, and 

the key policy-relevant science issues 

that will guide the review.

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology, e.g., permitting 

electronic submission of responses. 

Overview of Information Collection 

Collection Title: Employer 

Information Report (EEO–1). 

OMB Number: 3046–0007. 

Frequency of Report: Annual. 

Type of Respondent: Private 

employers with 100 or more employees 

and certain federal government 

contractors and first-tier subcontractors 

with 50 or more employees. 

Description of Affected Public: Private 

employers with 100 or more employees 

and certain federal government 

contractors and first-tier subcontractors 

with 50 or more employees. 

Reporting Hours: 987,394. 

Respondent Cost: $11.4 million. 

Federal Cost: $2.1 million. 

Number of Forms: 1. 

Abstract: Section 709(c) of Title VII of 

the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as 

amended, 42 U.S.C. 2000e–8(c), requires 

employers to make and keep records 

relevant to a determination of whether 

unlawful employment practices have 

been or are being committed, to preserve 

such records, and to produce reports as 

the Commission prescribes by 

regulation or order. Accordingly, the 

EEOC issued regulations prescribing the 

EEO–1 reporting requirement. 

Employers in the private sector with 100 

or more employees and some federal 

contractors with 50 or more employees 

have been required to submit EEO–1 

reports annually since 1966. The 

individual reports are confidential. 

EEO–1 data is used by EEOC to 

investigate charges of employment 

discrimination against employers in 

private industry and to provide 

information about the employment 

status of minorities and women. The 

data is shared with the Office of Federal 

Contract Compliance Programs 

(OFCCP), U.S. Department of Labor, and 

several other federal agencies. Pursuant 

to § 709(d) of Title VII of the Civil Rights 

Act of 1964, as amended, EEO–1 data is 

also shared with state and local Fair 

Employment Practices Agencies 

(FEPAs). 

Burden Statement: The estimated 

number of respondents included in the 

annual EEO–1 survey is 70,000 private 

employers. The estimated number of 

establishment-based responses per 

reporting company is around four EEO– 

1 reports annually. The annual number 

of responses is approximately 290,410. 

The form is estimated to impose 987,394 

burden hours annually. In order to help 

reduce survey burden, respondents are 

encouraged to report data electronically 

whenever possible. 

Dated: June 24, 2014.
