Office of Research and Development;
Ambient Air Monitoring Reference and
Equivalent Methods: Designation of a
New Reference Method
Environmental Protection
Agency.
ACTION: Notice of the designation of a
new reference method for monitoring
ambient air quality.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that
the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) has designated, in accordance
with 40 CFR part 53, a new reference
method for measuring concentrations of
carbon monoxide (CO) in the ambient
air.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Surender Kaushik, Human Exposure
and Atmospheric Sciences Division
(MD-D205–03), National Exposure
Research Laboratory, U.S. EPA,
Research Triangle Park, North Carolina
27711. Phone: (919) 541–5691, e-mail:
Kaushik.Surender@epa.gov.
In
accordance with regulations at 40 CFR
part 53, the EPA evaluates various
methods for monitoring the
concentrations of those ambient air
pollutants for which EPA has
established National Ambient Air
Quality Standards (NAAQSs) as set
mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 214001
forth in 40 CFR part 50. Monitoring
methods that are determined to meet
specific requirements for adequacy are
designated by the EPA as either
reference methods or equivalent
methods (as applicable), thereby
permitting their use under 40 CFR part
58 by States and other agencies for
determining attainment of the NAAQSs.
The EPA hereby announces the
designation of a new reference method
for measuring concentrations of CO in
the ambient air. This designation is
made under the provisions of 40 CFR
part 53, as amended on December 18,
2006 (71 FR 61271).
The new reference method for CO is
an automated method that utilizes the
measurement principle based on nondispersive infrared adsorption
photometry (combined with gas filter
correlation) and the calibration
procedure specified in Appendix C of
40 CFR part 50. The newly designated
reference method is identified as
follows:
RFCA–0708–172, ‘‘SIR, S.A. Model S–5006
Ambient CO Analyzer,’’ operated with full
scale fixed measurement ranges 0–50 ppm at
any environment temperature in the range of
20 °C to 30 °C.
An application for a reference method
determination for the candidate method
was received by the EPA on April 29,
2008. The sampler is commercially
available from the applicant, SIR, S.A.,
Avenida de la Industria, 3, 28760 Tres
Cantos, Madrid, Spain.
A test analyzer representative of this
method has been tested in accordance
with the applicable test procedures
specified in 40 CFR part 53 (as amended
on December 18, 2006). After reviewing
the results of those tests and other
information submitted by the applicant
in the application, EPA has determined,
in accordance with part 53, that this
method should be designated as a
reference method. The information
submitted by the applicant in the
application will be kept on file, either
at EPA’s National Exposure Research
Laboratory, Research Triangle Park,
North Carolina 27711 or in an approved
archive storage facility, and will be
available for inspection (with advance
notice) to the extent consistent with 40
CFR part 2 (EPA’s regulations
implementing the Freedom of
Information Act).
As a designated reference method,
this method is acceptable for use by
states and other air monitoring agencies
under the requirements of 40 CFR part
58, Ambient Air Quality Surveillance.
For such purposes, the method must be
used in strict accordance with the
operation or instruction manual
PO 00000
Frm 00037
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
associated with the method and subject
to any specifications and limitations
(e.g. , configuration or operational
settings) specified in the applicable
designation method description (see the
identifications of the method above).
Use of the method should also be in
general accordance with the guidance
and recommendations of applicable
sections of the ‘‘Quality Assurance
Handbook for Air Pollution
Measurement Systems, Volume I,’’ EPA/
600/R–94/038a and ‘‘Quality Assurance
Handbook for Air Pollution
Measurement Systems, Volume II, Part
1,’’ EPA–454/R–98–004 (available at
https://www.epa.gov/ttn/amtic/
qabook.html ). Vendor modifications of
a designated reference method used for
purposes of part 58 are permitted only
with prior approval of the EPA, as
provided in part 53. Provisions
concerning modification of such
methods by users are specified under
Section 2.8 (Modifications of Methods
by Users) of Appendix C to 40 CFR part
58.
In general, a method designation
applies to any sampler or analyzer
which is identical to the sampler or
analyzer described in the application for
designation. In some cases, similar
samplers or analyzers manufactured
prior to the designation may be
upgraded or converted (e.g., by minor
modification or by substitution of the
approved operation or instruction
manual) so as to be identical to the
designated method and thus achieve
designated status. The manufacturer
should be consulted to determine the
feasibility of such upgrading or
conversion.
Part 53 requires that sellers of
designated reference or equivalent
method analyzers or samplers comply
with certain conditions. These
conditions are specified in 40 CFR 53.9
and are summarized below:
(a) A copy of the approved operation
or instruction manual must accompany
the sampler or analyzer when it is
delivered to the ultimate purchaser.
(b) The sampler or analyzer must not
generate any unreasonable hazard to
operators or to the environment.
(c) The sampler or analyzer must
function within the limits of the
applicable performance specifications
given in 40 CFR parts 50 and 53 for at
least one year after delivery when
maintained and operated in accordance
with the operation or instruction
manual.
(d) Any sampler or analyzer offered
for sale as part of a reference or
equivalent method must bear a label or
sticker indicating that it has been
designated as part of a reference or
