Environmental Criteria; Second 

External Review Draft 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

ACTION: Notice of Public Comment

Assessment for Oxides of Nitrogen and 

Sulfur—Environmental Criteria. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) is announcing 

the availability of the second external 

review draft of a document titled, 

‘‘Integrated Science Assessment for 

Oxides of Nitrogen and Sulfur—

Environmental Criteria; Second External 

Review Draft’’ (EPA/600/R–08/082). 

EPA is releasing this draft document 

solely for the purpose of seeking public 

comment and for review by the Clean 

Air Scientific Advisory Committee 

(CASAC) (meeting date and location to 

be specified in a separate Federal 

Register notice). It does not represent 

and should not be construed to 

represent any Agency policy, viewpoint, 

or determination. EPA will consider any 

public comments submitted in 

accordance with this notice when 

revising the document. 

DATES: The public comment period 

begins on or about August 11, 2008. 

Comments must be received on or 

before October 1, 2008. 

ADDRESSES: The ‘‘Integrated Science 

Assessment for Oxides of Nitrogen and 

Sulfur—Environmental Criteria; Second 

External Review Draft’’ will be available 

primarily via the Internet on the 

National Center for Environmental 

Assessment’s home page under the 

Recent Additions and Publications 

menus at http://www.epa.gov/ncea. A 

limited number of CD–ROM or paper 

copies will be available. Contact Ms. 

Ellen Lorang by phone (919–541–2771), 

fax (919–541–5078), or e-mail

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Information About the Document 

Section 108 (a) of the Clean Air Act 

directs the Administrator to identify 

certain pollutants which ‘‘cause or 

contribute to air pollution 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 Act, 

EPA is then to establish national 

ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) 

for each pollutant for which EPA has 

issued criteria. Section 109(d) 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 and 

welfare. EPA is also to revise the 

NAAQS, if appropriate, based on the 

revised air quality criteria. 

Oxides of nitrogen and sulfur are two 

of six principal (or ‘‘criteria’’) pollutants 

for which EPA has established air 

quality criteria and NAAQS. EPA 

periodically reviews the scientific basis 

for these standards by preparing an 

Integrated Science Assessment (ISA) 

(formerly called an Air Quality Criteria 

Document). The ISA and supplementary 

annexes, in conjunction with additional 

technical and policy assessments, 

provide the scientific basis for EPA 

decisions on the adequacy of a current 

NAAQS and the appropriateness of new 

or revised standards. The Clean Air 

Scientific Advisory Committee 

(CASAC), an independent science 

advisory committee established 

pursuant to section 109 of the Clean Air 

Act and part of the EPA’s Science 

Advisory Board (SAB), provides 

independent scientific advice on 

NAAQS matters, including advice on 

EPA’s draft ISAs. 

EPA formally initiated its current 

review of the criteria for oxides of 

nitrogen and sulfur in December 2005 

(70 FR 73236) and May 2006 (71 FR 

28023) respectively, requesting the 

submission of recent scientific 

information on specified topics. In the 

initial stages of the criteria reviews, EPA 

recognized the merit of integrating the 

science assessment for these two 

pollutants due to their combined effects 

on atmospheric chemistry, deposition 

processes, and environment-related 

public welfare effects. In July 2007 (72 

FR 34004), a workshop was held to 

discuss, with invited scientific experts, 

initial draft materials prepared in the 

development of the ISA and 

supplementary annexes for oxides of 

nitrogen and sulfur. EPA’s ‘‘Draft Plan 

for Review of the Secondary National 

Ambient Air Quality Standards for 

Nitrogen Dioxide and Sulfur Dioxide’’

was made available in September 2007 

for public comment and was discussed 

by the Clean Air Scientific Advisory 

Committee (CASAC) via a publicly 

accessible teleconference consultation 

on October 30, 2007 (72 FR 57568). The 

Plan was made available on EPA’s Web 

site http://www.epa.gov/ttn/naaqs/ 

standards/no2so2sec/cr_pd.html. The 

draft ‘‘Integrated Science Assessment for 

Oxides of Nitrogen and Sulfur—

Environmental Criteria; First External 

Review Draft’’ was released for review 

on December 21, 2007 (72 FR 72719). 

The CASAC reviewed the draft 

document at a public peer review 

meeting on April 2–3, 2008; comments 

from the CASAC and the public have 

been addressed in this second external 

review draft document. The draft 

‘‘Integrated Science Assessment for 

Oxides of Nitrogen and Sulfur—

Environmental Criteria; Second External 

Review Draft’’ will be discussed by 

CASAC at a future public meeting; 

public comments that have been 

received prior to the public meeting will 

be provided to the CASAC review panel. 

A future Federal Register notice will 

inform the public of the exact date and 

time of that CASAC meeting.
