SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Two 

sections of the Clean Air Act (CAA) 

govern the establishment and revision of 

the NAAQS. Section 108 (42 U.S.C. 

7408) directs the Administrator to 

identify and list certain air pollutants 

and then to issue air quality criteria for 

those pollutants. The Administrator is 

to list those air pollutants that in her 

‘‘judgment, cause or contribute to air 

pollution which may reasonably be 

anticipated to endanger public health or 

welfare;’’ ‘‘the presence of which in the 

ambient air results from numerous or 

diverse mobile or stationary sources;’’ 

and ‘‘for which . . . [the Administrator] 

plans to issue air quality criteria. . . .’’ 

Air quality criteria are intended 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 . . .’’ (42 

U.S.C. 7408(b)). Under section 109 (42 

U.S.C. 7409), the EPA establishes 

primary (health-based) and secondary 

(welfare-based) NAAQS for pollutants 

for which air quality criteria are issued. 

Section 109(d) requires periodic review 

and, if appropriate, revision of existing 

air quality criteria. The revised air 

quality criteria reflect advances in 

scientific knowledge on the effects of 

the pollutant on public health or 

welfare. The EPA is also required to 

periodically review and, if appropriate, 

revise the NAAQS based on the revised 

criteria. Section 109(d)(2) requires that 

an independent scientific review 

committee ‘‘shall complete a review of 

the criteria . . . and the national 

primary and secondary ambient air 

quality standards . . . and shall 

recommend to the Administrator any 

new . . . standards and revisions of 

existing criteria and standards as may be 

appropriate. . . .’’ Since the early 

1980’s, this independent review 

function has been performed by the 

Clean Air Scientific Advisory 

Committee (CASAC). 

Presently, the EPA is reviewing the 

primary NAAQS for SO2.1 The final 

document, announced today, has been 

developed as part of the planning phase 

for the review. This phase began with a 

science policy workshop to identify 

issues and questions to frame the 

review.2 Drawing from the workshop 

discussions, a draft IRP was prepared 

jointly by the EPA’s National Center for 

Environmental Assessment, within the 

Office of Research and Development, 

and EPA’s Office of Air Quality 

Planning and Standards, within the 

Office of Air and Radiation (79 FR 

14035). The draft IRP was reviewed by 

CASAC at a teleconference on April 22, 

2014 (79 FR 16325). Comments from the 

CASAC on the draft IRP were provided 

to us in a July 24, 2014, letter (Frey and 

Diez-Roux, 2014).3 The final IRP 

includes consideration of CASAC and 

public comments received on the draft 

IRP. This document presents the current 

plan and specifies the schedule for the 

entire review, the process for 

conducting the review, and the key 

policy-relevant science issues that will 

guide the review.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Secretary signed the initial 

charter for the Medicare Coverage 

Advisory Committee (MCAC) on 

November 24, 1998. A notice in the 

Federal Register (63 FR 68780) 

announcing establishment of the MCAC 

was published on December 14, 1998. 

The MCAC name was updated to more 

accurately reflect the purpose of the 

committee and on January 26, 2007, the 

Secretary published a notice in the 

Federal Register (72 FR 3853), 

announcing that the Committee’s name 

changed to the Medicare Evidence 

Development & Coverage Advisory 

Committee (MEDCAC). The charter for 

the committee can be accessed at http:// 

www.cms.gov/Regulations-andGuidance/Guidance/FACA/

MEDCAC.html. 

The MEDCAC is governed by 

provisions of the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act, Public Law 92–463, as 

amended (5 U.S.C. App. 2), which sets 

forth standards for the formulation and 

use of advisory committees, and is 

authorized by section 222 of the Public 

Health Service Act as amended (42 

U.S.C. 217A). 

We are requesting nominations for 

candidates to serve on the MEDCAC. 

Nominees are selected based upon their 

individual qualifications and not solely 

as representatives of professional 

associations or societies. We wish to 

ensure adequate representation of the 

interests of both women and men, 

members of all ethnic groups, and 

physically challenged individuals. 

Therefore, we encourage nominations of 

qualified candidates who can represent 

these interests. 

The MEDCAC consists of a pool of 

100 appointed members including: 94 

at-large standing members (6 of whom 

are patient advocates), and 6 

representatives of industry interests. 

Members generally are recognized 

authorities in clinical medicine 

including subspecialties, administrative
