SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: The Clean Air Scientific 

Advisory Committee (CASAC) was 

established under section 109(d)(2) of 

the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act) (42 

U.S.C. 7409) as an independent 

scientific advisory committee. CASAC 

provides advice, information and 

recommendations on the scientific and 

technical aspects of air quality criteria 

and national ambient air quality 

standards (NAAQS) under sections 108 

and 109 of the Act. The CASAC is a 

Federal advisory committee chartered 

under the Federal Advisory Committee 

Act (FACA), as amended, 5 U.S.C., App. 

The Panel 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 

sulfur oxides (SOX). EPA is in the 

process of reviewing the primary 

NAAQS for sulfur dioxide (SO2), an 

indicator for SOX. Primary standards set 

limits to protect public health, 

including the health of ‘‘sensitive’’ 

populations such as asthmatics, 

children, and the elderly. 

CASAC has previously provided 

consultative advice on EPA’s Integrated 

Plans for Review of the Primary NAAQS 

for NO2 and SO2 and conducted peer 

review of the first and second drafts of 

EPA’s Integrated Science Assessment for 

Sulfur Oxides—Health Criteria. CASAC 

also provided consultative advice on 

EPA’s Sulfur Dioxide Health 

Assessment Plan: Scope and Methods 

for Exposure and Risk Assessment and 

conducted peer review of EPA’s Risk 

and Exposure Assessment to Support 

the Review of the SO2 Primary National 

Ambient Air Quality Standards: First 

Draft. The CASAC advisory reports are 

available on the EPA Web site at 

http://www.epa.gov/casac. The purpose 

of this meeting is for CASAC to conduct 

a peer review of the Risk and Exposure 

Assessment to Support the Review of the 

SO2 Primary National Ambient Air 

Quality Standards: Second Draft. 

Technical Contact: Any questions 

concerning EPA’s Risk and Exposure

are critical and affecting all areas of the 

country. As this resilient pest has 

become a nationwide problem affecting 

hotels, universities, and homes in the

the EPA assist in exploring means of 

effectively identifying challenges and 

ways to remedy this pest concern. 

Potential participants for this forum 

include Federal, State, and local 

government agencies responsible for 

public health and public housing; 

researchers and academicians; health, 

housing and environmental advocacy 

organizations; the pest management 

industry; pesticide manufacturers; and 

other interested parties. All interested 

parties are encouraged to participate 

and share in the development of 

strategies to address the national bed 

bug dilemma. However, due to space 

limitations, registration is limited to 135 

participants.
