SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Information About the Document 

Section 108(a) of the Clean Air Act 

directs the Administrator to identify 

certain air pollutants which, among 

other things, ‘‘cause or contribute to air 

pollution which may reasonably be 

anticipated to endanger public health or 

welfare’’; and to issue air quality criteria 

for them. 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 . . . .’’. 

Under section 109 of the Act, EPA is 

then to establish NAAQS for each 

pollutant for which EPA has issued 

criteria. Section 109(d)(1) of the Act 

subsequently requires periodic review 

and, if appropriate, revision of existing 

air quality criteria to reflect advances in 

scientific knowledge on the effects of 

the pollutant on public health or 

welfare. EPA is also required to review 

and, if appropriate, revise the NAAQS, 

based on the revised air quality criteria 

(for more information on the NAAQS 

review process, see https://

www.epa.gov/naaqs). 

EPA has established NAAQS for six 

criteria pollutants. In conducting 

periodic reviews of the air quality 

criteria and NAAQS, EPA reviews the 

scientific basis for these standards by 

preparing an Integrated Science 

Assessment (ISA; formerly called an Air 

Quality Criteria Document). The ISA 

provides the scientific basis for EPA’s 

decisions, in conjunction with 

additional technical and policy 

assessments, on the adequacy of the 

current NAAQS and the appropriateness 

of possible alternative standards. The 

Clean Air Scientific Advisory 

Committee (CASAC), an independent 

science advisory committee whose 

review and advisory functions are 

mandated by Section 109(d)(2) of the 

Clean Air Act, is charged (among other 

things) with independent scientific 

review of the EPA’s air quality criteria. 

On June 10, 2021, the EPA announced 

its decision to reconsider the 2020 p.m. 

NAAQS final action, available at: 

https://www.epa.gov/newsreleases/epareexamine-health-standards-harmfulsoot-previous-administration-leftunchanged. The EPA also announced 

that, as a part of the reconsideration, a 

supplement to the Integrated Science 

Assessment (ISA) for Particulate Matter 

(PM), which was finalized in December 

2019, would be developed. The 

‘‘Supplement to the 2019 Integrated 

Science Assessment for Particulate 

Matter (External Review Draft)’’ was 

released for public comment and review 

by the CASAC on September 30, 2021 

(https://cfpub.epa.gov/ncea/isa/ 

recordisplay.cfm?deid=352823). 

The CASAC PM panel met at a virtual 

public meeting on November 17–19, 

2021, to review the draft Supplement to 

the 2019 p.m. ISA (86 FR 52673, 

September 22, 2021). A virtual public 

meeting was then held on February 25, 

2022–March 4, 2022, and during this 

meeting on February 28, 2022, the 

chartered CASAC considered the 

CASAC PM Panel’s draft letter to the 

Administrator on the draft Supplement 

to the 2019 p.m. ISA. This meeting was 

announced in the Federal Register on 

January 7, 2022 (87 FR 958). 

Subsequently, on March 18, 2022, the 

chartered CASAC provided a consensus 

letter of their review to the 

Administrator of the EPA (https://casac.

epa.gov/ords/sab/f?p=113:0:

9895873668768:APPLICATION_

PROCESS=REPORT_DOC:::REPORT_

ID:1093). The EPA has considered 

comments by the chartered CASAC and 

by the public in preparing this final 

Supplement to the 2019 p.m. ISA.

The draft document was prepared by the 

Center for Public Health and 

Environmental Assessment (CPHEA) 

within EPA’s Office of Research and 

Development (ORD). EPA is releasing 

this draft IRIS assessment for public 

comment in advance of an external peer 

review conducted by the National 

Academy of Sciences, Engineering, and 

Medicine (NASEM). Public comments 

received will be provided to the external 

peer reviewers. NASEM, a contractor to

during Step 4 of the IRIS Process. The 

external peer reviewers will consider 

public comments submitted in response 

to this notice and provided at the public 

meeting when reviewing this document. 

EPA will consider all comments 

received when revising the document 

post-peer review. This draft assessment 

is not final as described in EPA’s 

information quality guidelines, and it 

does not represent, and should not be 

construed to represent Agency policy or
