SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: The Clean Air Scientific 

Advisory Committee (CASAC) 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. CASAC 

provides advice, information and 

recommendations on the scientific and 

technical aspects of air quality criteria 

and national ambient air quality 

standards (NAAQS) under sections 108 

and 109 of the Act. The CASAC is a 

Federal advisory committee chartered 

under the Federal Advisory Committee 

Act (FACA), as amended, 5 U.S.C. App. 

The Panel will comply with the 

provisions of FACA and all appropriate 

SAB Staff Office procedural policies. 

Section 109(d)(1) of the CAA requires 

that the Agency periodically review and 

revise, as appropriate, the air quality 

criteria and the NAAQS for the six 

‘‘criteria’’ air pollutants, including NOX

and SOX. EPA is in the process of 

reviewing the secondary NAAQS for 

NOX and SOX. Welfare effects as defined 

in the CAA includes, but is not limited 

to, effects on soils, water, wildlife, 

vegetation, visibility, weather, and 

climate, as well as effects on materials, 

economic values, and personal comfort 

and well-being. As part of that process, 

EPA’s Office of Research and 

Development (ORD) issued the Draft 

Integrated Science Assessment fox 

Oxides of Nitrogen and Sulfur— 

Environmental Criteria (ISA) in 

December 2007 and recently issued the 

second draft ISA in August 2008. EPA’s 

Office of Air and Radiation (OAR) 

released its Scope and Methods Plan for 

Risk/Exposure Assessment (REA) in 

March 2008. OAR completed the first 

draft REA in August 2008. The CASAC 

reviewed the first draft ISA and 

provided consultative advice on the 

Scope and Methods plan on April 1–2, 

2008. The CASAC’s reports to the 

Administrator can be found on the SAB 

Web site at http://www.epa.gov/casac 

(see EPA–CASAC–08–011 and EPA– 

CASAC–08–012 both dated May 19, 

2008). 

The purpose of the October 1–2, 2008 

meeting is for the CASAC Panel to 

conduct a peer review of the second 

draft ISA and the first draft REA. The 

chartered CASAC will review and 

approve the Panel’s draft reports on the 

ISA and REA by public conference call 

on October 30, 2008.
