General Information 

A. What Should I Consider as I Prepare 

My Comments for EPA? 

1. Submitting CBI 

Do not submit this information to EPA 

through http://www.regulations.gov or 

e-mail. Clearly mark the part or all of 

the information that you claim to be 

CBI. For CBI information in a disk or CD 

ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the 

outside of the disk or CD ROM as CBI 

and then identify electronically within 

the disk or CD ROM, the specific 

information that is claimed as CBI. In 

addition to one complete version of the 

comment that includes information 

claimed as CBI, a copy of the comment 

that does not contain the information 

claimed as CBI must be submitted for 

inclusion in the public docket. 

Information so marked will not be 

disclosed except in accordance with 

procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2. 

2. Tips for Preparing Your Comments 

When submitting comments, 

remember to: 

• Identify the rulemaking by docket 

number and other identifying 

information (subject heading, Federal 

Register date and page number). 

• Follow directions—The Agency 

may ask you to respond to specific 

questions or organize comments by 

referencing a Code of Federal 

Regulations (CFR) part or section 

number. 

• Explain why you agree or disagree; 

suggest alternatives and substitute 

language for your requested changes. 

• Describe any assumptions and 

provide any technical information and/ 

or data that you used. 

• If you estimate potential costs or 

burdens, explain how you arrived at 

your estimate in sufficient detail to 

allow for it to be reproduced. 

• Provide specific examples to 

illustrate your concerns, and suggest 

alternatives. 

• Explain your views as clearly as 

possible, avoiding the use of profanity 

or personal threats. 

• Make sure to submit your 

comments by the comment period 

deadline identified. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Under section 108(a) of the Clean Air 

Act (CAA), the Administrator identifies 

and lists certain pollutants which 

‘‘cause or contribute to air pollution 

which may reasonably be anticipated to 

endanger public health or welfare.’’ The 

EPA then issues air quality criteria for 

listed pollutants, which are commonly 

referred to as ‘‘criteria pollutants.’’ The 

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, in varying 

quantities.’’ Under section 109 of the 

CAA, EPA establishes NAAQS for each 

listed pollutant, with the NAAQS based 

on the air quality criteria. Section 109(d) 

of the CAA 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 revise the 

NAAQS, if appropriate, based on the 

revised criteria. 

Air quality criteria have been 

established for CO to provide protection 

from exposure to ambient 

concentrations of CO. Presently, EPA is 

reviewing the air quality criteria and 

NAAQS for CO. The EPA’s overall plan 

and schedule for this review is 

presented in the Integrated Review Plan 

for the National Ambient Air Quality 

Standards for Carbon Monoxide.1 A 

draft of the integrated review plan was 

released for public review and comment 

in March 2008 and was the subject of a 

publicly accessible teleconference 

consultation with the CASAC on April 

8, 2008 (73 FR 12998). Comments 

received from that consultation and 

from the public were considered in 

finalizing the plan and in beginning the 

review of the air quality criteria. 

As part of the review of the air quality 

criteria for CO, EPA’s Office of Research 

and Development (ORD) has completed 

a draft document, Integrated Science 

Assessment (ISA) for Carbon Monoxide 

(First External Review Draft, March, 

2009) and requested review by the 

CASAC and the public (74 FR 10734; 

March 12, 2009). In the future, EPA’s 

OAQPS will prepare a Risk and 

Exposure Assessment (REA) focusing on 

human exposure, and possibly, risk 

assessment. The planning document 

announced today describes the planned 

approaches for conducting the 

quantitative assessments that will be 

presented in the REA as part of the 

review of the primary (health-based) 

standards. This planning document is 

available on the Agency’s Technology 

Transfer Network (TTN) Web site at 

http://www.epa.gov/ttn/naaqs/ 

standards/co/s_co_cr_pd.html. This 

document may be accessed in the 

‘‘Documents from Current Review’’ 

section under ‘‘Planning Documents.’’ 

This planning document is intended to 

provide enough specificity to facilitate 

consultation with CASAC, as well as for 

public review, in order to obtain advice 

on the overall scope, approaches and 

key issues in advance of conducting 

quantitative analyses and presentation 

of results in the first draft REA. The 

CASAC consultation on this planning 

document coincides with its review of 

the first draft ISA. This CASAC meeting 

is scheduled for May 12 and 13, 2009. 

A separate Federal Register notice (74 

FR 15265; April 3, 2009) provides 

additional details about this meeting 

and the process for participation.
