approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9 

and displayed either by publication in 

the Federal Register or by other 

appropriate means, such as on the 

related collection instrument or form, if 

applicable. The display of OMB control 

numbers in certain EPA regulations is 

consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. 

Abstract: EPA has promulgated a 

Consolidated Emissions Reporting Rule 

(CERR) (40 CFR part 51, subpart A) to 

coordinate new emissions inventory 

reporting requirements with existing 

requirements of the Clean Air Act (CAA) 

and the 1990 Amendments. Under the 

CERR, 55 state and territorial air quality 

agencies, including the District of 

Columbia (DC), as well as an estimated 

49 local air quality agencies, must 

annually submit emissions data for 

point sources emitting specified levels 

of volatile organic compounds, oxides of 

nitrogen, carbon monoxide, sulfur 

dioxide, particulate matter less than or 

equal to 10 micrometers in diameter, 

particulate matter less than or equal to 

2.5 micrometers in diameter (PM2.5), and 

ammonia (NH3). 

Every 3 years, states are required to 

submit a point source inventory, as well 

as a statewide stationary nonpoint, 

nonroad mobile, onroad mobile, and 

biogenic source inventory for all criteria 

pollutants (including lead and lead 

compounds) and their precursors. The 

emissions data submitted for the annual 

and 3-year cycle inventories for 

stationary point, nonpoint, nonroad 

mobile, and onroad mobile sources are 

used by EPA’s Office of Air Quality 

Planning and Standards to assist in 

developing ambient air quality emission 

standards, performing regional 

modeling, and preparing national trends 

assessments and special analyses and 

reports. Any data submitted to EPA 

under the CERR is in the public domain 

and cannot be treated as confidential. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 31 hours per 

response. The total number of 

respondents is assumed to be 1,863. 

This total number of respondents 

includes 104 State agencies that are 

subject to the CERR data reporting 

requirements and 1,759 sources that are 

not subject, but are assumed to incur the 

burden for reporting estimates of PM2.5

and NH3 to State agencies. Burden 

means the total time, effort, or financial 

resources expended by persons to 

generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or 

provide information to or for a Federal 

agency. This includes the time needed 

to review instructions; develop, acquire, 

install, and utilize technology and 

systems for the purposes of collecting, 

validating, and verifying information, 

processing and maintaining 

information, and disclosing and 

providing information; adjust the 

existing ways to comply with any 

previously applicable instructions and 

requirements which have subsequently 

changed; train personnel to be able to 

respond to a collection of information; 

search data sources; complete and 

review the collection of information; 

and transmit or otherwise disclose the 

information. 

Respondents/Affected Entities: 55 

State and territorial air pollution control 

agencies, 49 local air agencies, and 

1,759 industry sources. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

1,863. 

Frequency of Response: Annual. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

57,698. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$230,880, includes $230,880 annualized 

capital or operational and maintenance 

costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is a 

decrease of 474 hours in the total 

estimated burden currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens. This decrease is due to use of 

updated point source reporting data 

from the 2005 National Emissions 

Inventory indicating fewer Type A 

sources will be reported annually to 

EPA.

Final Risk and Exposure Assessment 

Report for Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of availability of final 

report. 

SUMMARY: On or about July 31, 2009, the 

Office of Air Quality Planning and 

Standards (OAQPS) of EPA is making 

available a final report, Risk and 

Exposure Assessment to Support the 

Review of the SO2 Primary National 

Ambient Air Quality Standard: Final 

Report. This document presents the 

approaches taken to assess exposures to 

ambient SO2 and to characterize 

associated health risks, and presents the 

results of those assessments. This 

document also contains a staff policy 

assessment regarding the adequacy of 

the current SO2 NAAQS and potential 

alternative primary SO2 standards.

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 

mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES

37706 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 144 / Wednesday, July 29, 2009 / Notices 

periodically review and, if appropriate, 

revise the NAAQS based on the revised 

criteria. 

Air quality criteria have been 

established for sulfur oxides (SOX) and 

NAAQS have been established for sulfur 

dioxide (SO2), an indicator for gaseous 

SOX. Presently, EPA is in the process of 

reviewing the NAAQS for SO2. As part 

of its review of the NAAQS, EPA 

prepared an assessment of exposures 

and health risks associated with 

ambient SO2. A plan describing the 

proposed approaches to assessing 

exposures and risks was described in 

Sulfur Dioxide Health Assessment Plan: 

Scope and Methods for Exposure and 

Risk Assessment. This 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 5–6, 2007. Comments 

received from that consultation were 

considered in developing a draft 

document, Risk and Exposure 

Assessment to Support the Review of the 

SO2 Primary National Ambient Air 

Quality Standard: First Draft, which 

was released for public review and 

comment in July 2008 and was the 

subject of a CASAC review on July 30– 

31, 2008. Comments received from that 

review were considered in developing a 

second draft document, Risk and 

Exposure Assessment to Support the 

Review of the SO2 Primary National 

Ambient Air Quality Standard: Second 

Draft, which was released for public 

review and comment in March 2009 and 

was the subject of a CASAC review on 

April 16–17, 2009. In preparing the final 

risk and exposure assessment report, 

EPA considered comments received 

from CASAC and the public at and 

subsequent to that meeting. 

The Risk and Exposure Assessment to 

Support the Review of the SO2 Primary 

National Ambient Air Quality Standard: 

Final Report being released at this time 

conveys the approaches taken to assess 

exposures to ambient SO2 and to 

characterize associated health risks, and 

presents the results of those 

assessments. This document also 

contains a staff policy assessment that 

considers the health evidence presented 

in an EPA document, Integrated Science 

Assessment for Oxides of Sulfur 

(available at: http://www.epa.gov/ttn/ 

naaqs/standards/so2/s_so2_cr_ 

isa.html), and the exposure and risk 

characterization results, as they relate to 

the adequacy of the current SO2 NAAQS 

and consideration of potential 

alternative primary SO2 standards. The 

Risk and Exposure Assessment to 

Support the Review of the SO2 Primary 

National Ambient Air Quality Standard: 

Final Report will be available online at: 

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

standards/so2/s_so2_cr_rea.html.
