Consistent with recent modifications the Agency has made to its process for reviewing NAAQS, we are seeking broad public comment at this time to help inform the Agency's future proposed decisions on the adequacy of the current Pb NAAQS and on any revisions of the Pb NAAQS that may be appropriate. EPA is also soliciting comment on retaining Pb on the list of criteria pollutants and on maintaining NAAQS for Pb. As part of this review, the Agency has released several key documents that will inform the Agency's rulemaking. These documents include the Air Quality Criteria for Lead, released in 2006, which critically assesses and integrates relevant scientific information; risk assessment reports including the most recent report, Lead: Human Exposure and Health Risk Assessment for Selected Case Studies, which documents quantitative exposure analyses and risk assessments conducted for this review; and a recently released Staff Paper, Review of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for Lead: Policy Assessment of Scientific and Technical Information, which presents an evaluation by staff in EPA's Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards (OAQPS) of the policy implications of the scientific information and quantitative assessments and OAQPS staff conclusions and recommendations on a range of policy options for the Agency's consideration. Under the terms of a court order, the Administrator will sign by September 1, 2008 a Notice of Final Rulemaking for publication in the Federal Register. To meet this schedule, we anticipate the Administrator will sign a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in March 2008 for publication in the Federal Register, at which time further opportunity for public comment will be provided. 72 FR 71488 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2007-12-17/E7-23884 E7-23884 fr17de07-32 RIN 2060-AN83 6560-50-C EPA-HQ-OAR-2006-0735 FRL-8503-8 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2007-12-17/E7-23884 https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2007-12-17/html/E7-23884.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2007-12-17/pdf/E7-23884.pdf Environmental Protection Air Pollution Control Carbon Monoxide Lead Nitrogen Dioxide Ozone Particulate Matter Sulfur Oxides 57 p. 71488 71544 72 FR 71488 Title 40 Part 50 40 CFR Part 50 RIN 2060-AN83 National Ambient Air Quality Standards for Lead; Federal Register Vol. 72, Issue PRORULE E7-23884 II ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY 2008-01-16 EPA-HQ-OAR-2006-0735 FRL-8503-8 6560-50-C E7-23884 Advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPR).
