SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

108(a) of the CAA directs the 

Administrator to identify certain 

pollutants which ‘‘may reasonably be 

anticipated to endanger public health 

and welfare’’ and to issue air quality 

criteria for them. These 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 

CAA, EPA is then to establish NAAQS 

for each pollutant for which EPA has 

issued criteria. Section 109(d) of the 

CAA 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 

and welfare. Also, EPA is to revise the 

NAAQS, if appropriate, based on the 

revised criteria. 

Ozone is one of six ‘‘criteria’’

pollutants for which EPA has 

established air quality criteria and 

NAAQS. Presently, EPA is reviewing 

the criteria and NAAQS for ozone. This 

review includes preparation of two key 

documents, the Air Quality Criteria for 

Ozone and Related Photochemical 

Oxidants (‘‘Criteria Document’’) and a 

related ‘‘Staff Paper.’’ The EPA 

completed its second external review 

draft Criteria Document for Ozone and 

Related Photochemical Oxidants in 

August 2005 (70 FR 51810, August 31, 

2005). 

The purpose of the draft Staff Paper 

is to evaluate the policy implications of 

the key scientific and technical 

information contained in the second 

external review draft Air Quality 

Criteria Document and identify critical 

elements that EPA staff believe should 

be considered in reviewing the NAAQS. 

The Staff Paper is intended to ‘‘bridge 

the gap’’ between the scientific review 

contained in the Air Quality Criteria 

Document and the public health and 

welfare policy judgments required of the 

Administrator in reviewing the NAAQS. 

In January 2005, a first external 

review draft of the Air Quality Criteria 

Document was released by EPA for 

public review and comment and for 

review by the Clean Air Scientific 

Advisory Committee (CASAC) of EPA’s 

Science Advisory Board (70 FR 4850, 

January 31, 2005) at a public meeting 

held in May 2005. Comments received 

from review of the first draft document 

have been considered in preparing the 

second draft Air Quality Criteria 

Document. Based on the information 

contained in the Air Quality Criteria 

Document, the draft Staff Paper includes 

assessments and analyses related to: (1) 

Air quality characterization; (2) 

integration and evaluation of health 

information; (3) exposure analysis; (4) 

health risk assessment; and (5) 

evaluation of information on vegetation 

damage and other welfare effects. The 

draft Staff Paper contains no staff 

conclusions and recommendations with 

respect to possible revisions to the 

current standards but recommends 

alternative standards for purposes of 

conducting exposure and risk analyses. 

A second draft of the Staff Paper will 

include staff conclusions and 

recommendations on potential revision 

or retention of the primary (healthbased) and secondary (welfare-based) 

ozone NAAQS. 

The draft Exposure Analysis and Risk 

Assessment technical support 

documents describe and present the 

results from an ozone exposure analysis 

and health risk assessment in several 

urban areas. A draft plan, Ozone Health 

Assessment Plan: Scope and Methods 

for Exposure Analysis and Risk 

Assessment, was previously reviewed 

by CASAC and the public. Comments 

received on that plan have been 

considered in developing the draft 

Exposure Analysis and Risk Assessment 

technical support documents being 

released at this time. The Exposure 

Analysis and Risk Assessment 

methodologies and results are also 

discussed in the draft Staff Paper. 

The EPA is soliciting early advice and 

recommendations from the CASAC by 

means of a consultation on the first draft 

Staff Paper, first draft Exposure 

Analysis, and first draft Risk 

Assessment at an upcoming public 

meeting of the CASAC. A Federal 

Register notice will inform the public of 

the date and location of that meeting. 

Following the CASAC meeting, EPA 

will consider comments received from 

CASAC and the public in preparing a 

second draft of the Staff Paper and the 

Exposure Analysis and Risk Assessment 

technical support documents.
