Subject: Notification of a Consultation on the Development Schedule for the
Carbon Monoxide Staff Paper
Dear Ms. Browner:
The Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee (CAS AC) of the Science Advisory Board
(SAB), met on November 16, 1998 to conduct a consultation with staff from the Office of Air and
Radiation (OAR), Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards (OAQPS) on the Development
Schedule for the Staff Paper for the national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) for Carbon
Monoxide. The SAB has developed the consultation as a mechanism to advise the Agency on
technical issues that should be considered in the development of regulations, guidelines, or
technical guidance before the Agency has taken a position. A consultation is conducted under the
normal requirements of the Federal Advisory Committee Act, which include advance notice of the
public meeting in the Federal Register.
As is our customary practice, there will be no formal report from the SAB as a result of
this consultation, nor do we expect any formal response from the Agency. However, since
CASAC finds the schedule appropriate, the Committee looks forward to conducting a formal
review of the draft Staff Paper in the future as outlined in the Development Schedule.
Sincerely,
v/
