Designated Federal Officer (DFO), EPA

(1400R), U.S. Environmental Protection 

Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue 

NW., Washington, DC 20460; by 

telephone at (202) 564–2050 or via

information about the CASAC, as well 

as any updates concerning the meeting 

announced in this notice, may be found 

on the CASAC Web site at http://

www.epa.gov/casac. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

CASAC was established pursuant to the 

Clean Air Act (CAA) Amendments of 

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

review air quality criteria and NAAQS 

and recommend any new NAAQS and 

revisions of existing criteria and 

NAAQS as may be appropriate. The 

CASAC shall also 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 of adverse effects 

which may result from various strategies 

to attain and maintain air quality 

standards. The CASAC is a Federal 

Advisory Committee chartered under 

the Federal Advisory Committee Act 

(FACA), 5 U.S.C., App. 2. 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 oxides of nitrogen. 

EPA is currently reviewing the primary 

(health-based) NAAQS for nitrogen 

dioxide (NO2) as an indicator for health 

effects caused by the presence of oxides 

of nitrogen in the ambient air. 

Pursuant to FACA and EPA policy, 

notice is hereby given that the CASAC 

Oxides of Nitrogen Primary NAAQS 

Review Panel will hold a public meeting 

to peer review EPA’s Policy Assessment 

for the Review of the Primary National 

Ambient Air Quality Standards for 

Nitrogen Dioxide (External Review 

Draft—September 2016). The CASAC 

Oxides of Nitrogen Primary NAAQS 

Review Panel and the CASAC will 

comply with the provisions of FACA 

and all appropriate SAB Staff Office 

procedural policies. 

Technical Contacts: Any technical 

questions concerning the Policy 

Assessment for the Review of the 

Primary National Ambient Air Quality 

Standards for Nitrogen Dioxide 

(External Review Draft—September 

2016) should be directed to Dr. Jennifer 

Nichols (nichols.jennifer@epa.gov), EPA 

Office of Air and Radiation. 

Availability of Meeting Materials: 

Prior to the meeting, the review 

documents, agenda and other materials 

will be accessible on the CASAC Web 

site at http://www.epa.gov/casac/. 

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 on the 

topic of this advisory activity, including 

the charge to the panel and the EPA 

review documents, and/or the group 

conducting the activity, for the CASAC 

to consider during the advisory process. 

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 meeting will be 

limited to five minutes. Each person 

making an oral statement should 

consider providing written comments as 

well as their oral statement so that the 

points presented orally can be expanded 

upon in writing. Interested parties 

should contact Mr. Aaron Yeow, DFO, 

in writing (preferably via email) at the 

contact information noted above by 

November 2, 2016, to be placed on the 

list of public speakers. Written 

Statements: Written statements will be 

accepted throughout the advisory 

process; however, for timely 

consideration by Panel members, 

statements should be supplied to the 

DFO (preferably via email) at the contact 

information noted above by November 

2, 2016. 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 copyright holder. 

Accessibility: For information on 

access or services for individuals with 

disabilities, please contact Mr. Aaron 

Yeow at the contact information 

provided above. To request 

accommodation of a disability, please 

contact Mr. Yeow preferably at least ten 

days prior to each meeting to give EPA 

as much time as possible to process 

your request.
