II. Information About the Documents

Two sections of the Clean Air Act

(CAA or the Act) govern the 

establishment and revision of the 

NAAQS. Section 108 directs the 

Administrator to identify and list 

certain air pollutants and then issue ‘‘air 

quality criteria’’ for those 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 such 

pollutant in the ambient air . . .’’ (CAA 

section 108(a)(2)). Under section 109 of 

the Act, the EPA is then to establish 

primary (health-based) and secondary 

(welfare-based) NAAQS for each 

pollutant for which the EPA has issued 

air quality criteria. Section 109(d)(1) of 

the Act requires periodic review and, if 

appropriate, revision of existing air 

quality criteria. Revised air quality 

criteria are to reflect advances in 

scientific knowledge on the effects of 

the pollutant on public health and 

welfare. Under the same provision, the 

EPA is also to periodically review and, 

if appropriate, revise the NAAQS, based 

on the revised air quality criteria. 

The Act additionally requires 

appointment of an independent 

scientific review committee that is to 

periodically review the existing air 

quality criteria and NAAQS and to 

recommend any new standards and 

revisions of existing criteria and 

standards as may be appropriate (CAA 

section 109(d)(2)(A)–(B)). Since the 

early 1980s, the requirement for an 

independent scientific review 

committee has been fulfilled by the 

Clean Air Scientific Advisory 

Committee (CASAC). 

In December 2020, the EPA 

announced its decision to retain the 

primary and secondary O3 standards, 

without revision (85 FR 87256, 

December 31, 2020). On October 29, 

2021, the Agency announced its 

decision to reconsider the 2020 O3

NAAQS final action.1 In its 

announcement of the reconsideration, 

the Agency explained that it would 

reconsider the 2020 decision to retain 

2015 standards based on the existing 

scientific record. In support of the 

reconsideration, the EPA is developing 

an updated PA. The PA, when final, 

serves to ‘‘bridge the gap’’ between the 

scientific and technical information in 

the 2020 ISA and any air quality, 

exposure and risk analyses available in 

the reconsideration, and the judgements 

required of the Administrator. The draft 

PA builds upon the information 

presented in the 2020 ISA, the 2020 PA 

and additional analyses that informed 

the 2020 decision. The draft PA 

document will be available on or about 

April 28, 2022, on the EPA’s website at 

https://www.epa.gov/naaqs/ozone-o3- 

air-quality-standards. The EPA is 

soliciting advice and recommendations 

from the CASAC by means of a review 

of this draft document in an upcoming 

public meeting of the CASAC. 

Information about this public meeting, 

including the dates and location, was 

published as a separate notice in the 

Federal Register on April 4, 2022 (87 FR 

19501). Following the CASAC meeting, 

the EPA will consider comments 

received from the CASAC and the 

public in preparing the final PA. 

The draft document briefly described 

above does not represent and should not 

be construed to represent any final EPA 

policy, viewpoint, or determination. 

The EPA will consider any public 

comments submitted in response to this 

notice when revising the document.
