General Information 

A. What Should I Consider as I Prepare 

My Comments for EPA? 

1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this 

information to EPA through http:// 

www.regulations.gov or e-mail. Clearly 

mark the part or all of the information 

that you claim to be CBI. For CBI 

information in a disk or CD–ROM that 

you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the 

disk or CD–ROM as CBI and then 

identify electronically within the disk or 

CD–ROM the specific information that 

is claimed as CBI. In addition to one 

complete version of the comment that 


dwashington3 on PROD1PC60 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 97 / Thursday, May 21, 2009 / Notices 23859 

includes information claimed as CBI, a 

copy of the comment that does not 

contain the information claimed as CBI 

must be submitted for inclusion in the 

public docket. Information so marked 

will not be disclosed except in 

accordance with procedures set forth in 

40 CFR part 2. 

2. Tips for Preparing Your Comments. 

When submitting comments, remember 

to: 

• Identify the rulemaking by docket 

number and other identifying 

information (subject heading, Federal 

Register date and page number). 

• Follow directions—The agency may 

ask you to respond to specific questions 

or organize comments by referencing a 

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 

or section number. 

• Explain why you agree or disagree; 

suggest alternatives and substitute 

language for your requested changes. 

• Describe any assumptions and 

provide any technical information and/ 

or data that you used. 

• If you estimate potential costs or 

burdens, explain how you arrived at 

your estimate in sufficient detail to 

allow for it to be reproduced. 

• Provide specific examples to 

illustrate your concerns, and suggest 

alternatives. 

• Explain your views as clearly as 

possible, avoiding the use of profanity 

or personal threats. 

• Make sure to submit your 

comments by the comment period 

deadline identified. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under 

section 108(a) of the Clean Air Act 

(CAA), the Administrator identifies and 

lists certain pollutants which ‘‘cause or 

contribute to air pollution which may 

reasonably be anticipated to endanger 

public health or welfare.’’ The EPA then 

issues air quality criteria for listed 

pollutants, which are commonly 

referred to as ‘‘criteria pollutants.’’ The 

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, in varying 

quantities.’’ Under section 109 of the 

CAA, EPA establishes National Ambient 

Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for 

each listed pollutant, with the NAAQS 

based on the air quality criteria. Section 

109(d) of the CAA 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 revise the 

NAAQS, if appropriate, based on the 

revised criteria. 

Air quality criteria have been 

established for the sulfur oxides (SOX) 

and NAAQS have been established for 

sulfur dioxide (SO2), an indicator for 

SOX. Presently, EPA is reviewing the air 

quality criteria for SOX and the NAAQS 

for SO2. As part of its review of the 

NAAQS, EPA has prepared an 

assessment of exposures and 

characterization of health risks 

associated with ambient SO2. Planned 

approaches to assessing exposures and 

characterizing risks were described in 

the document, Sulfur Dioxide Health 

Assessment Plan: Scope and Methods 

for Exposure and Risk Assessment. This 

planning document was released for 

public review and comment in 

November 2007 and was the subject of 

a consultation with the Clean Air 

Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC) 

on December 5 and 6, 2007. Comments 

received from that consultation were 

considered in developing the ‘‘Risk and 

Exposure Assessment to Support the 

Review of the SO2 Primary National 

Ambient Air Quality Standards: First 

Draft,’’ which was released in July 2008. 

The second draft of this document 

was released in March 2009 and 

conveys the approach taken to assess 

exposures to ambient SO2 and to 

characterize associated health risks, as 

well as to present the results of those 

assessments. In addition, this document 

also contains a staff policy assessment 

that considers the evidence presented in 

the final Integrated Science Assessment 

and the exposure and risk 

characterization results presented in 

this second draft document, as they 

relate to the adequacy of the current SO2

NAAQS and any potential alternative 

primary SO2 standards. This draft 

document is available online at: http:// 

www.epa.gov/ttn/naaqs/standards/so2/

s_so2_cr_rea.html.
