General information concerning the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

CASAC was established pursuant to the 

Clean Air Act (CAA) Amendments of 

1977, codified at 42 U.S.C. 7409D(d)(2), 

to provide advice, information, and 

recommendations to the Administrator 

on the scientific and technical aspects of 

issues related to the criteria for air 

quality standards, research related to air 

quality, sources of air pollution, and the 

strategies to attain and maintain air 

quality standards and to prevent 

significant deterioration of air quality. 

The CASAC is a Federal Advisory 

Committee chartered under the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5 

U.S.C., App. 2. The CASAC Ozone 

Review Panel and the CASAC will 

comply with the provisions of FACA 

and all appropriate SAB Staff Office 

procedural policies. 

Section 109(d)(1) of the CAA requires 

that the Agency periodically review and 

revise, as appropriate, the air quality 

criteria and the NAAQS for the six 

‘‘criteria’’ air pollutants, including 

ozone. EPA is currently reviewing the 

primary (health-based) and secondary 

(welfare-based) NAAQS for ozone. The 

CASAC Ozone Review Panel held a 

face-to-face meeting on September 11– 

13, 2012 (as noticed in 77 FR 46755– 

46756) to review four EPA documents: 

Integrated Science Assessment for 

Ozone and Related Photochemical 

Oxidants (Third External Review 

Draft—June 2012), Health Risk and 

Exposure Assessment for Ozone (First 

External Review Draft—Updated August 

2012), Welfare Risk and Exposure 

Assessment for Ozone (First External 

Review Draft—Updated August 2012), 

and Policy Assessment for the Review of 

the Ozone National Ambient Air Quality 

Standards (First External Review 

Draft—August 2012). Information about 

these review activities may be found on 

the CASAC Web site at http://www.epa.

gov/casac. Pursuant to FACA and EPA 

policy, notice is hereby given that the 

CASAC Ozone Review Panel will hold 

a follow-up public teleconference to 

discuss its draft reviews of these four 

EPA documents. 

Availability of Meeting Materials: 

Prior to the meeting, the review 

documents, agenda and other materials 

will be accessible through the calendar

Procedures for Providing Public Input: 

Public comment for consideration by 

EPA’s federal advisory committees and 

panels has a different purpose from 

public comment provided to EPA 

program offices. Therefore, the process 

for submitting comments to a federal 

advisory committee is different from the 

process used to submit comments to an 

EPA program office. 

Federal advisory committees and 

panels, including scientific advisory 

committees, provide independent 

advice to EPA. Members of the public 

can submit relevant comments for a 

federal advisory committee to consider 

pertaining to EPA’s charge to the panel 

or meeting materials. Input from the 

public to the CASAC will have the most 

impact if it provides specific scientific 

or technical information or analysis for 

CASAC panels to consider or if it relates 

to the clarity or accuracy of the 

technical information. Members of the 

public wishing to provide comment 

should contact the DFO directly. 

Oral Statements: In general, 

individuals or groups requesting an oral 

presentation at a public teleconference 

will be limited to three minutes. 

Interested parties should contact Dr. 

Holly Stallworth, DFO, in writing 

(preferably via email) at the contact 

information noted above by October 29, 

2012, to be placed on the list of public 

speakers for the teleconference. 

Written Statements: Written 

statements should be supplied to the 

DFO via email at the contact 

information noted above by October 29, 

2012 for the teleconference so that the 

information may be made available to 

the Panel members for their 

consideration. Written statements 

should be supplied in one of the 

following electronic formats: Adobe 

Acrobat PDF, MS Word, MS 

PowerPoint, or Rich Text files in IBM– 

PC/Windows 98/2000/XP format. It is 

the SAB Staff Office general policy to 

post written comments on the Web page 

for the advisory meeting or 

teleconference. Submitters are requested 

to provide an unsigned version of each 

document because the SAB Staff Office 

does not publish documents with 

signatures on its Web sites. Members of 

the public should be aware that their 

personal contact information, if 

included in any written comments, may 

be posted to the CASAC Web site. 

Copyrighted material will not be posted 

without explicit permission of the

Accessibility: For information on 

access or services for individuals with 

disabilities, please contact Dr. Holly 

Stallworth at (202) 564–2073 or

accommodation of a disability, please

Public Water System Supervision 

Program Revision for the State of 

Florida 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of tentative approval. 

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that 

the State of Florida is revising its Public 

Water System Supervision Program by 

adopting the Lead and Copper Rule 

Short Term Revisions. EPA has 

determined that Florida’s rule is no less 

stringent than the corresponding federal 

regulations. Therefore, the EPA is 

tentatively approving this revision to 

the State of Florida’s Public Water 

System Supervision Program. 

DATES: Any interested person may 

request a public hearing. A request for 

a public hearing must be submitted by 

November 19, 2012, to the Regional 

Administrator at the EPA, Region 4 

address shown below. The Regional 

Administrator may deny frivolous or 

insubstantial requests for a hearing. 

However, if a substantial request for a 

public hearing is made by November 19, 

2012, a public hearing will be held. If 

the EPA, Region 4 does not receive a 

timely and appropriate request for a 

hearing and the Regional Administrator 

does not elect to hold a hearing on her 

own motion, this tentative approval 

shall become final and effective on 

November 19, 2012. Any request for a 

public hearing shall include the 

following information: The name, 

address, and telephone number of the 

individual, organization, or other entity 

requesting a hearing; a brief statement of 

the requesting person’s interest in the 

Regional Administrator’s determination; 

a brief statement of the information that 

the requesting person intends to submit 

at such hearing; and the signature of the 

individual making the request, or, if the 

request is made on behalf of an 

organization or other entity, the 

signature of a responsible official of the 

organization or other entity. 

ADDRESSES: All documents relating to 

this determination are available for 

inspection between the hours of 8:30 

a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through 

Friday, at the following offices: Florida 

Department of Environmental 

Protection, Drinking Water Program,

EPA Analysis 

On October 12, 2010, the State of 

Florida submitted a request that the 

Region approve revisions to the State’s 

Safe Drinking Water Act PWSS Program 

to include the authority to implement 

and enforce the Lead and Copper Rule 

Short Term Revisions. EPA reviewed 

the application using the federal 

statutory provisions (Section 1413 of the 

Safe Drinking Water Act), federal 

regulations (at 40 CFR part 142), state
