From: smara@ARB.ca.gov Dear Standards List Serve participant: The Air Resources Board (ARB) has released the Staff Report/ Initial Statement of Reasons for the proposed amendments to the ambient air quality standard for ozone. The Staff Report entitled "REVIEW OF THE AMBIENT AIR QUALITY STANDARD FOR OZONE," can be downloaded at the ARB website listed below. The Staff Report, prepared by the staff of the Air Resources Board and Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment, contains findings and recommendations for revising the California standard for ozone. This release begins the official 45 day public comment period prior to the proposed recommendations being considered by the ARB at a public hearing on April 28, 2005 in El Monte, CA. The proposed recommendations are the outcome of a multi-year effort by ARB and OEHHA staff that included a review of the scientific literature on public exposure, atmospheric chemistry, and health effects of exposure to ozone. This health-based standards evaluation was a requirement of The Children's Environmental Health Protection Act (Senate Bill 25, Escutia, 1999). In developing the Staff Report and recommendations, staff considered and responded to comments by the public and by an independent scientific peer review committee, the Air Quality Advisory Committee. All regulatory documents regarding the proposed recommendations to amend the ambient air quality standard for ozone can be accessed at the ARB website at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/regact/ozone05/ozone05.htm Details of the ozone standard review process, including findings, presentations, and transcripts of the January 2005 Air Quality Advisory Committee meeting, are available on the Ozone Standards review website at http://www.arb.ca.gov/research/aaqs/ozone-rs/ozone-rs.htm.

At its April 28, 2005, public hearing, the Air Resources Board (the Board) approved amendments to sections 70100, 70100.1, and 70200, title 17, California Code of Regulations (CCR), which established a new 8-hour-average standard for ozone at 0.070 parts per million (ppm) and retained the existing 1-hour-average standard for ozone of 0.09 ppm. At the hearing, the Board directed staff to prepare revisions to the Staff Report in order to incorporate the health benefits analysis modifications presented at the April Board hearing, and to make the revisions available for a supplemental public comment period. Corrections of typographical errors in the titles to several references as identified in the Staff Report are also being made available. The modifications are shown in underline/strikeout type so they can be readily identified.

The purpose of this action is to update the Staff Report to reflect staff’s current methodology for calculating health impacts of ozone exposure, and to present the modified health benefits results. The public notice and underline/strikeout revisions to the staff report are available at: http://arb.ca.gov/regact/ozone05/ozone05.htm The Revised Staff Report is available for downloading at the ARB website at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/research/aaqs/ozone-rs/rev-staff/rev-staff.htm Printed copies are available from Deborah Drechsler, Ph.D., Research Division, at 916-323-1526.
