Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 14 / Friday, January 23, 2009 / Notices a. AAMMS Teleconference, February 10, 2009—Ozone Network Design In March 2008, the final rule for the Ozone NAAQS was published (73 FR 16436). The rule revised both the primary and secondary standards and set identical, 8-hour standards of 0.075 ppm expressed to three decimal places for both public health and welfare. In the March 2008 rule, EPA committed to develop separate rulemaking to support changes in the monitoring network requirements based on the revisions of the primary and secondary O3 NAAQS. EPA is also considering changes to the required O3 monitoring season. EPA’s Office of Air and Radiation (OAR) requested the consultative advice of the AAMMS on the options for network design and O3 monitoring season to guide the development of potential monitoring requirements. Additional information on the O3 monitoring issues is available on the OAR Web page at https://www.epa.gov/ttn/naaqs/ standards/ozone/s_o3_index.html. mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES b. AAMMS Teleconference, February 11, 2009—Coarse Particle Speciation In October 2006, EPA issued the final rule to revise both the primary and secondary NAAQS for PM (71 FR 61144). The Agency decided to retain PM10 as the indicator for thoracic coarse particles as promulgated in July 1997 (62 FR 38652). The final rule establishes ambient air monitoring requirements for a PM10–2.5 indicator of thoracic coarse particles to support research on particle distribution, sources, and health effects. A new Federal Reference Method (FRM) was also promulgated in the rule for measuring the mass concentration of PM10–2.5 in ambient air. As part of the revisions to the Ambient Air Monitoring Regulations, PM10–2.5 speciation monitoring will be required at National Core (NCore) multi-pollutant monitoring stations by January 1, 2011. EPA OAR requested AAMMS consultative advice on the issues related to PM10–2.5 speciation and monitoring. Additional information on the monitoring issues specific to coarse particles is available on the OAR Web page at https:// www.epa.gov/ttn/naaqs/standards/pm/ s_pm_index.html. Technical Contacts: Any technical questions concerning the indicator and ambient air monitoring issues related to the O3 or PM NAAQS can be directed Mr. Lewis Weinstock, OAQPS, at phone: (919) 541–3661, or e-mail weinstock.lewis@epa.gov.
