Book Description
This Policy Assessment (PA) has been prepared by staff in the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards (OAQPS) as part of the Agency's ongoing review of the primary (health-based) national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) for oxides of nitrogen (referred to herein as the N02 NAAQS). It presents analyses and staff conclusions regarding the policy implications of the key scientific and technical information that informs this review. The PA is intended to "bridge the gap" between the relevant scientific evidence and technical information and the judgments required of the EPA Administrator in determining whether to retain or revise the current standards. Development of the PA is also intended to facilitate advice and recommendations on the standards to the Administrator from an independent scientific review committee, the Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC), as provided for in the Clean Air Act (CAA). Staff's conclusions in this PA are informed by consideration of the scientific evidence summarized and assessed in the Integrated Science Assessment for Oxides of Nitrogen-Health Criteria (ISA) and updated analyses comparing ambient nitrogen dioxide (N02) concentrations to health-based benchmarks, included herein. Emphasis is given to considering the extent to which the evidence newly available since the last review alters conclusions drawn in the last review with regard to health effects related to N02 exposures, the exposure concentrations at which those effects occur, and populations that may be at increased risk for effects.

Book Description
This Policy Assessment has been prepared by staff in the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards (OAQPS) in conjunction with the Agency's ongoing joint review of the secondary (welfare-based) national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) for oxides of nitrogen and sulfur. This Policy Assessment evaluates the policy implications of key scientific information contained in the Integrated Science Assessment (ISA) for Oxides of Nitrogen and Sulfur-Ecological Criteria, prepared by EPA's National Center for Environmental Assessment (NCEA), results from the analysis contained in the Risk and Exposure Assessment (REA) for Review of the Secondary National Ambient Air Quality Standards for Oxides of Nitrogen and Oxides of Sulfur, as well as additoinal staff analyses conducted for and presented in this document. It presents staff conlcusions regarding the adequacy of the current NO2 and SO2 secondary standards as well as alternative standards for consideration in this review. This Policy Assessment is intended to help "bridge the gap" between the relevent scientific and technical information and the judgements required of the EPA Administrator in determining whether, and if so, how, it is approprate to revise the secondary NAAQS for oxides of nitrogen and sulfur. This Policy Assessment considers the available scientifc evidence and quantitative risk-based analyses, together with related limitations and uncertainties, and focuses on the basic elements of air quality standards: indicator, averaging time, form, and level. These elements, which serve to define each standard, must be considered collectively in evaluating the public welfare protection afforded by the standards

Book Description
"The Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC) NOX & SOX Secondary NAAQS Review Panel met on July 22-23, 2009 to review EPA's Risk and Exposure Assessment (REA) to Support the Review of the Secondary National Ambient Air Quality Standard for Oxides of Nitrogen and Sulfur: Second Draft. This letter has been reviewed and approved by the chartered CASAC at a public conference call on August 20, 2009. In this letter, CASAC offers general comments and recommendations for finalizing the REA. We also address the Agency's framework for developing the forthcoming Policy Assessment. During the meeting, EPA's Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards (OAQPS) informed the Panel of the final schedule for the current primary and secondary NOX and SOX NAAQS reviews and rule making. CASAC is very concerned about the schedule's implications on the policy options under consideration by the Agency for the secondary standards."--Page 1
