At that time, EPA will issue another Federal Register notice to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB.

Abstract: RadNet is a national network of stations collecting sampling media that include air, precipitation, drinking water, and milk. Samples are sent to EPA’s National Air and Radiation Environmental Laboratory (NAREL) in Montgomery, Alabama, where they are analyzed for radioactivity. RadNet provides emergency response/homeland security and ambient monitoring information on levels of environmental radiation across the nation. All stations, usually operated by state and local personnel, participate in RadNet voluntarily. Station operators complete information forms that accompany the samples. The forms request descriptive information pertaining to sample location, e.g., sample type, sample location, length of sampling period, and volume represented.

Form Numbers: 5900–23, 5900–24, 5900–25, 5900–26, 5900–27, 5900–28, 5900–29, 5900–30, 5900–31.

Respondents/affected entities: Volunteer collectors of milk, air, precipitation, and drinking water samples to support EPA’s national environmental radiation monitoring network known as RadNet.

Respondent’s obligation to respond: voluntary.

Estimated number of respondents: 275 (total).

Frequency of response: Frequency varies according to medium being sampled: milk, quarterly; drinking water, quarterly; rain (precipitation), as events occur; and air, twice weekly.

Total estimated burden: 9,333 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).

T otal estimated cost: $480,073 in labor costs and no capital or O&M.

Changes in Estimates: There is an anticipated decrease in the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. This decrease will result from the installation of new air monitors, which require less time from the station operators. Specific estimates of decreased burden are in progress. The new equipment was installed as a result of EPA’s decision to upgrade existing air monitoring equipment.

Dated: February 5, 2013. John Griggs, Director, National Analytical Radiation Environmental Laboratory, EPA Office of Radiation and Indoor Air.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  Background

Section 108(a) of the Clean Air Act directs the Administrator to identify certain pollutants which, among other things, ‘‘cause or contribute to air pollution which may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare’’ and to issue air quality criteria for them. These 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 [a] pollutant in the ambient air * * *. ’’ Under section 109 of the Act, EPA is then to establish NAAQS for each pollutant for which EPA has issued criteria. Section 109(d) of the Act subsequently requires periodic review and, if appropriate, revision of existing air quality criteria to reflect advances in scientific knowledge on the effects of the pollutant on public health or welfare. EPA is also to periodically review and, if appropriate, revise the NAAQS, based on the revised air quality criteria.

Ozone (O 3 ) is one of six principal (or ‘‘criteria’’) pollutants for which EPA has established NAAQS. Periodically, EPA reviews the scientific basis for these standards by preparing an Integrated Science Assessment (ISA) (formerly called an Air Quality Criteria Document). The ISA provides a concise review, synthesis, and evaluation of the most policy-relevant science to serve as a scientific foundation for the review of the NAAQS. The Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC), an independent science advisory committee whose existence and whose review and advisory functions are mandated by Section 109(d)(2) of the Clean Air Act, is charged (among other things) with independent scientific review of EPA’s air quality criteria.

On September 29, 2008 (73 FR 56581), EPA formally initiated its current review of the air quality criteria for ozone, requesting the submission of recent scientific information on specified topics. A draft of EPA’s ’’Integrated Review Plan for the Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards Review’’ (EPA/452/P–09/001) was made available in September 2009 for public comment and was discussed by the CASAC Ozone Review Panel (CASAC panel) via a publicly accessible teleconference consultation on November 13, 2009 (74 FR 54562). In August 2010, EPA held a workshop to discuss, with invited scientific experts, initial draft materials prepared in the development of the ISA (75 FR 42085). The first external review draft ISA for Ozone and Related Photochemical Oxidants was released on March 4, 2011 (http://cfpub.epa.gov/ncea/isa/ recordisplay.cfm?deid=217463). The CASAC panel met at a public meeting on May 19, 2011, to review the draft ISA (76 FR 23809). Subsequently, on August 10, 2011, the CASAC panel provided a consensus letter for their review to the Administrator of the EPA (http:// yosemite.epa.gov/sab/sabproduct.nsf/ 4620a620d0120f93852572410080d786/ 45A59F1BC8912FEE852578E8006 6021C/$File/EPA-CASAC-11-009- unsigned.pdf ). The second external review draft ISA for Ozone and Related Photochemical Oxidants was released on September 30, 2011 (http:// cfpub.epa.gov/ncea/isa/ recordisplay.cfm?deid=226363 ). The CASAC panel met at a public meeting on January 9, 2012, to review the draft ISA (76 FR 76725). Subsequently, on March 13, 2012, the CASAC panel provided a consensus letter for their review to the Administrator of the EPA (http://yosemite.epa.gov/sab/ sabproduct.nsf/4620a620d0120f938525 72410080d786/1336B2B88034AEB6852579C0007070CA/$File/EPA-CASAC12-004-unsigned.pdf ). The third external review draft ISA for Ozone and Related Photochemical Oxidants was released on June 19, 2012 (http://cfpub.epa.gov/ncea/isa/ recordisplay.cfm?deid=242490). The CASAC panel met at a public meeting
