Release of Draft Documents Related to 

the Review of the Primary National 

Ambient Air Quality Standard for 

Sulfur Oxides 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: On or about August 25, 2017, 

the Environmental Protection Agency 

(EPA) will make available for public 

comment two draft documents titled, 

Risk and Exposure Assessment for the 

Review of the Primary National Ambient 

Air Quality Standard for Sulfur Oxides, 

External Review Draft (Draft REA) and 

Policy Assessment for the Review of the 

Primary National Ambient Air Quality 

Standard for Sulfur Oxides, External 

Review Draft (Draft PA). These draft 

documents were prepared as part of the 

current review of the primary National 

Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) 

for Sulfur Oxides (SOX). The Draft REA 

describes draft quantitative exposure 

and risk analyses for this NAAQS 

review. The PA, when final, serves to 

‘‘bridge the gap’’ between the currently 

available scientific information and the 

judgments required of the Administrator 

in determining whether to retain or 

revise the existing primary NAAQS for 

SOX.

DATES: Comments should be received on 

or before October 18, 2017. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

identified by Docket ID No. EPA–HQ– 

OAR–2013–0566, to the Federal 

eRulemaking Portal: http://

www.regulations.gov. Follow the online 

instructions for submitting comments. 

Once submitted, comments cannot be 

edited or withdrawn. The EPA may 

publish any comment received to its 

public docket. Do not submit 

electronically any information you 

consider to be Confidential Business 

Information (CBI) or other information 

whose disclosure is restricted by statute. 

Multimedia submissions (audio, video, 

etc.) must be accompanied by a written 

comment. The written comment is 

considered the official comment and 

should include discussion of all points

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. General Information 

A. What should I consider as I prepare 

my comments for the EPA? 

1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this 

information to EPA through http://

regulations.gov or email. 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 

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 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 

part 2. 

2. Tips for Preparing your Comments. 

When submitting comments, remember 

to: 

• Identify the notice 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 

CFR part or section number. 

• Explain why you agree or disagree; 

suggest alternative and substitute 

language for your requested changes. 

• Describe any assumption 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. 

II. Information About the Document 

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 his 

‘‘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 . . .’’ 

(42 U.S.C. 7408(a)(1)(A)–(C)). 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(a)(2)). 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 revise the 

NAAQS, if appropriate, 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 the 

existing criteria and standards as may be 

appropriate. . . .’’ Since the early 

1980s, this independent review function 

has been performed by the Clean Air

available at https://www.epa.gov/naaqs/sulfurdioxide-so2-primary-standards-planningdocuments-current-review. 

3The second draft ISA was made available to 

both the CASAC and the public in December 2016 

(81 FR 89097) and is available at: https://

www.epa.gov/naaqs/sulfur-dioxide-so2-primarystandards-integrated-science-assessments-currentreview. 

4The REA Planning Document was made 

available to both the CASAC and the public in 

February 2017 (82 FR 11356) and is available at:

Scientific Advisory Committee 

(CASAC). 

Presently, the EPA is reviewing the air 

quality criteria and primary NAAQS for 

SOX.1 The EPA’s overall plan for this 

review is presented in the Integrated 

Review Plan for the Primary NAAQS for 

Sulfur Dioxide (IRP).2 As described in 

the IRP, the EPA is preparing an 

Integrated Science Assessment for 

Sulfur Oxides—Health Criteria (ISA), 

the second draft 3 of which was 

reviewed by the CASAC, along with the 

Risk and Exposure Assessment Planning 

Document for the Review of the Primary 

National Ambient Air Quality 

Standards for Sulfur Oxides (REA 

Planning Document),4 at a public 

meeting in March 2017 (82 FR 11449). 

The draft REA announced today 

describes the approaches taken to assess 

SO2 exposures and associated health 

risks, as well as presents the initial key 

results, observations, and related 

uncertainties associated with the 

quantitative analyses performed. The 

PA, when final, serves to ‘‘bridge the 

gap’’ between the scientific and 

technical information in the final ISA 

and REA, and the judgments required of 

the Administrator in determining 

whether to retain or revise the existing 

primary NAAQS for SOX. The draft PA 

builds upon information presented in 

the second draft ISA and the draft REA. 

The draft REA and PA documents will 

be available on or about August 25, 

2017, on the EPA’s Technology Transfer 

Network Web site at https://

www.epa.gov/naaqs/sulfur-dioxide-so2- 

primary-air-quality-standards. 

The EPA is soliciting advice and 

recommendations from the CASAC by 

means of a review of these draft 

documents at an upcoming public 

meeting of the CASAC. Information 

about this public meeting, including the 

dates and location, will be published as 

a separate notice in the Federal 

Register. Following the CASAC 

meeting, the EPA will consider 

comments received from the CASAC 

and the public in preparing revisions to 

these documents. 

The draft documents briefly described 

above do not represent and should not 

be construed to represent any final EPA 

policy, viewpoint, or determination. 

The EPA will consider any public 

comments submitted in response to this 

notice when revising the documents.
