SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

CASAC and the AAMM Subcommittee 

The CASAC, which comprises seven 

members appointed by the EPA 

Administrator, was established under 

section 109(d)(2) of the Clean Air Act 

(CAA or Act) (42 U.S.C. 7409) as an 

independent scientific advisory 

committee, in part to provide advice, 

information and recommendations on 

the scientific and technical aspects of 

issues related to air quality criteria and 

national ambient air quality standards 

(NAAQS) under sections 108 and 109 of 

the Act. The CASAC, which is 

administratively located under the SAB 

Staff Office, is a Federal advisory 

committee chartered under the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act (FACA), as 

amended, 5 U.S.C., App. 

The SAB Staff Office established the 

CASAC AAMM Subcommittee in early 

2004 as a standing subcommittee to 

provide the EPA Administrator, through 

the CASAC, with advice and 

recommendations, as necessary, on 

topical areas related to ambient air 

monitoring, methods and networks. The 

Committee and the Subcommittee 

comply with the provisions of FACA 

and all appropriate SAB Staff Office 

procedural policies. 

Background 

In response to a request from EPA’s 

Office of Air and Radiation (OAR), 

Office of Air Quality Planning and 

Standards (OAQPS), the CASAC AAMM 

Subcommittee conducted a peer review 

on the FRM for PM10–2.5 and a 

consultation on various particulate 

matter (PM) monitoring-related issues at 

a public meeting held September 21–22, 

2005 in Durham, NC. Subsequent to that 

meeting, the Subcommittee drafted an 

advisory report for the CASAC’s 

consideration. Detailed summary 

information on EPA’s proposed FRM for 

thoracic coarse particulate matter is 

contained in a previous Federal 

Register notice (70 FR 51353, August 

30, 2005).
