Acid Rain Program: Notice of Annual 

Adjustment Factors for Excess 

Emission Penalty 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of annual adjustment 

factors for excess emissions penalty. 

SUMMARY: Under the Acid Rain Program, 

affected units must hold enough 

allowances to cover their sulfur dioxide 

emissions and meet an emission limit 

for nitrogen oxides. Under 40 CFR 77.6, 

units that do not meet these 

requirements must pay a penalty 

without demand to the Administrator 

based on the number of excess tons 

emitted times $2000 as adjusted by an 

annual adjustment factor that must be 

published in the Federal Register. 

The annual adjustment factor for 

adjusting the penalty for excess 

emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen 

oxides under 40 CFR part 77 for 

compliance year 2005 is 1.5209. This 

value is derived using the Consumer 

Price Index (‘‘CPI’’) for 1990 and 2005 

(as defined at 40 CFR part 72, the 2005 

CPI is based on the August 2004 CPI for 

all urban consumers), and corresponds 

to a penalty of $3042 per excess ton of 

sulfur dioxide or nitrogen oxides 

emitted. 

The annual adjustment factor for 

adjusting the penalty for excess 

emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen 

oxides under 40 CFR part 77 for 

compliance year 2006 is 1.5762. This 

value is derived using the Consumer 

Price Index (‘‘CPI’’) for 1990 and 2006 

(as defined at 40 CFR part 72, the 2006 

CPI is based on the August 2005 CPI for 

all urban consumers), and corresponds 

to a penalty of $3152 per excess ton of 

sulfur dioxide or nitrogen oxides 

emitted.

Public comments on the external review 

56448 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 186 / Tuesday, September 27, 2005 / Notices 

draft of the AALM may be submitted 

electronically, by mail, by facsimile, or 

by hand delivery/courier. Please follow 

the detailed instructions as provided in 

the section of this notice entitled 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

details on the period for submission of 

comments from the public, contact the 

Office of Environmental Information 

Docket; telephone: 202–566–1752; 

facsimile: 202–566–1753; or e-mail: 

ORD.Docket@epa.gov. 

For technical information, contact 

Robert Elias, Ph.D., NCEA, facsimile:

elias.robert@epa.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

AALM represents EPA’s latest efforts to 

develop tools to model human lead 

exposure, and it builds on EPA’s prior 

experience in lead modeling. EPA’s 

Uptake Biokinetic (UBK) Model for Lead 

underwent peer review by the Science 

Advisory Board’s (SAB) Indoor Air 

Quality and Total Human Exposure 

Committee in November 1991 (56 FR 

55127, October 24, 1991). Subsequently, 

the Integrated Exposure Uptake 

Biokinetic (IEUBK) Model for Lead in 

Children Version 0.99d was released in 

March 1994 (U.S. EPA, Office of Solid 

Waste and Emergency Response; 

available from NTIS, PB94–501517). 

The purpose of the IEUBK model is to 

provide risk assessors and risk managers 

with a tool for rapidly evaluating the 

impact of possible sources of lead in a 

specific human setting where there is a 

concern for human exposure to lead. 

The IEUBK model has been widely 

accepted in the risk assessment 

community as a tool for implementing 

the site specific risk assessment process 

when the issue is childhood lead 

exposure. Version 1.0 of IEUBK is 

currently available at the following 

URL, http://www.epa.gov/superfund/ 

programs/lead/ieubk.htm. 

Recognizing the need to expand the 

IEUBK model to include older 

childhood and adult lead exposure and 

to add several features not available 

with the model, EPA initiated work on 

the AALM in 1998, when the exposure 

module was expanded to a full age 

range (0–90 years) and revised to 

incorporate several new model features 

and user options. In 1999, additional 

AALM development was accomplished 

with the expansion of the uptake and 

biokinetic modules. Since then, further 

refinement and preliminary testing of 

the AALM software has been carried 

out. The goal is to reduce uncertainty in 

lead exposure assessments for adults 

and children. 

After the end of the comment period 

on the external review draft of the AllAges Lead Model (AALM) Version 1.05, 

EPA will present the draft at a public 

meeting, tentatively scheduled for 

October 27 and 28, 2005, for review by 

EPA’s Science Advisory Board (SAB) 

Ad Hoc All-Ages Lead Model (AALM) 

Review Panel. Public comments 

received during the external review 

comment period will be provided to the 

SAB review panel. There will be a 

subsequent Federal Register notice 

informing the public of the exact date 

and time of that SAB review panel 

meeting. 

How To Submit Comments to EPA’s EDocket 

EPA has established an official public 

docket for information pertaining to the 

external review draft of the AALM, 

Docket ID No. ORD–2005–0026. The 

official public docket is the collection of 

materials, excluding Confidential 

Business Information (CBI) or other 

information whose disclosure is 

restricted by statute that is available for 

public viewing at the Office of 

Environmental Information (OEI) Docket 

in the Headquarters EPA Docket Center, 

EPA West Building, Room B102, 1301 

Constitution Ave., NW., Washington, 

DC. The EPA Docket Center Public 

Reading Room is open from 8:30 a.m. to 

4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, 

excluding legal holidays. The telephone 

number for the Public Reading Room is 

202–566–1744, and the telephone 

number for the OEI Docket is 202–566–

1752; facsimile: 202–566–1753; or email: ORD.Docket@epa.gov. 

An electronic version of the official 

public docket is available through EPA’s 

electronic public docket and comment 

system, E-Docket. You may use EDocket at http://www.epa.gov/edocket/ 

to submit or view public comments, to 

access the index listing of the contents 

of the official public docket, and to view 

those documents in the public docket 

that are available electronically. Once in 

the system, select search, then key in 

the appropriate docket identification 

number. 

Certain types of information will not 

be placed in E-Docket. Information 

claimed as CBI and other information 

with disclosure restricted by statute, 

also not included in the official public 

docket, will not be available for public 

viewing in E-Docket. Copyrighted 

material also will not be placed in EDocket but will be referenced there and 

available as printed material in the 

official public docket. 

Persons submitting public comments 

should note that EPA’s policy makes the 

information available as received and at 

no charge for public viewing at the EPA 

Docket Center or in E-Docket. This 

policy applies to information submitted 

electronically or in paper form, except 

where restricted by copyright, CBI, or 

statute. 

Unless restricted as above, public 

comments submitted on computer disks 

that are mailed or delivered to the 

docket will be transferred to E-Docket. 

Physical objects will be photographed, 

where practical, and the photograph 

will be placed in E-Docket along with a 

brief description written by the docket 

staff. 

You may submit public comments 

electronically, by mail, by facsimile, or 

by hand delivery/courier. To ensure 

proper receipt by EPA, include the 

appropriate docket identification 

number with your submission. Please 

adhere to the specified submitting 

period. Public comments received or 

submitted past the closing date will be 

marked ‘‘late’’ and may only be 

considered if time permits. 

If you submit public comments 

electronically, EPA recommends that 

you include your name, mailing 

address, and an e-mail address or other 

details for contacting you. Also include 

these contact details on the outside of 

any disk or CD ROM you submit, and 

in any cover letter accompanying the 

disk or CD ROM. This ensures that you 

can be identified as the person 

submitting the public comments and 

allows EPA to contact you in case the 

Agency cannot read what you submit 

due to technical difficulties or needs to 

clarify issues raised by what you 

submit. If EPA cannot read what you 

submit due to technical difficulties and 

cannot contact you for clarification, it 

may delay or prohibit the Agency’s 

consideration of the public comments.

Endocrine Disruptor Screening 

Program; Chemical Selection 

Approach for Initial Round of 

Screening 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice describes the 

approach EPA plans to use for selecting 

the first group of chemicals to be 

screened in the Agency’s Endocrine 

Disruptor Screening Program (EDSP). 

The Food Quality Protection Act of 1996 

(FQPA) amended the Federal Food, 

Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) to 

direct EPA to develop a chemical 

screening program using appropriate 

validated test systems and other 

scientifically relevant information to 

determine whether certain substances 

may have hormonal effects. In December 

2002, EPA sought comment on its 

approach for selecting the initial list of 

chemicals for which testing will be 

required under the EDSP. Following 

review and revision based on the public 

comments, EPA is now describing the 

approach that it intends to use for 

selecting the chemicals for the initial 

list. For this initial approach, as 

recommended by scientific advisory 

committees, EPA will select 50 to 100 

chemicals. The chemicals will be 

selected based on their relatively high 

potential for human exposure rather 

than using a combination of exposureand effects-related factors. The scope of 

this first group of chemicals to be tested 

includes pesticide active ingredients 

and High Production Volume (HPV) 

chemicals used as pesticide inerts. This 

will allow EPA to focus its initial 

screening efforts on a smaller and more 

manageable universe of chemicals that 

emphasizes the early attention to the 

pesticide chemicals that Congress 

specifically mandated EPA to test for 

possible endocrine effects. This notice 

does not identify the initial list of 

chemicals, nor does it describe other 

aspects of the EDSP such as the 

administrative procedures EPA will use 

to require testing, the validated tests and 

battery that will be included in the 

EDSP, or the timeframe for requiring the 

testing or receiving the data. The initial 

chemical list and the details of the EDSP 

process that will apply to the initial 

chemical list will be addressed in 

subsequent notices published in the 

Federal Register.
