1. EC/NATA Review Panel Conference

Call—May 14, 2001

The NATA Review Panel will conduct

a public conference call on Monday,

May 14, 2001 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

(Eastern Standard Time). The call will

be hosted out of the EPA Science

Advisory Board Conference Room

(Room 6013), Ariel Rios Federal

Building, 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue,

NW., Washington, DC 20004. Interested

members of the public may attend in

person or connect to the conference by

opportunity to reach closure on their

draft report. See below for details of the

review, to request any supplemental

materials from the Agency or ask

questions on materials already received

from the Agency

The NATA Review Panel is planning

to have a closure discussion on its draft

report in review of the EPA Document

entitled ‘‘National-Scale Air Toxics

Assessment for 1996,’’ EPA–453/R–01–

003, dated January, 2001 and supporting

appendices. This document represents

an initial national-scale assessment of

the potential health risks associated

with inhalation exposures to 32 air

toxics identified as priority pollutants

by the Agency’s Integrated Urban Air

Toxics Strategy, plus diesel emissions.

More information about the previous

meetings can be found in 66 FR 9846,

report, namely: (1) Has the NATA

Review Panel adequately responded to

the questions posed in the charge?; (2)

Are any statements or responses made

in the draft unclear?; and, (3) Are there

any technical errors? Oral and written

public comments were previously

accepted at the March 20–21, 2001
