SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background: The CASAC, which is
comprised of seven members appointed
by the EPA Administrator, 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. The
CASAC provides advice, information
and recommendations on the scientific
and technical aspects of issues related to
air quality criteria and NAAQS under

CASAC is chartered under the Federal

Lead Review Panel consists of the seven
CASAC members supplemented by
subject-matter-experts. The CASAC
Lead Review Panel provides advice and
recommendations to EPA concerning
lead in ambient air. The Panel complies
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 Lead.
In December 2006, EPA’s Office of Air
Quality Planning and Standards
(OAQPS), within the Office of Air and
Radiation (OAR), released the 1st Draft
Lead Staff Paper and the Draft Lead
Exposure and Risk Assessments
technical support document as part of
its review of the Lead NAAQS. The
purpose of the 1st Draft Lead Staff Paper
was to evaluate the policy implications
sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES
of the key scientific and technical
information contained in the Agency’s
Final AQCD for Lead and to identify
critical elements that EPA staff believes
should be considered in its review of
VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:09 Jul 20, 2007 Jkt 211001
the Lead NAAQS. The Draft Lead
Exposure and Risk Assessments
technical support document described
the methodology and presents the
results of the pilot phase human
exposure and health risk assessments
and ecological risk assessments for a
number of case studies. In February
2007, the CASAC Panel held a public
advisory meeting to review the 1st Draft
Lead Staff Paper and the Draft Lead
Exposure and Risk Assessments
technical support document. The
CASAC’s letter/report to the
Administrator concerning this review
(EPA–CASAC–07–003, dated March 27,
2007) is posted on the SAB Web site at
