Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP–MS) with
Heated Ultrasonic Nitric and Hydrochloric
Acid Filter Extraction.’’
[FRL–9156–1]
In this method, total suspended
particulate matter (TSP) is collected on
glass fiber filters according to 40 CFR
Appendix B to part 50, EPA Reference
Method for the Determination of
Suspended Particulate Matter in the
Atmosphere (High-Volume Method),
extracted with a solution of nitric and
hydrochloric acids, heated to 80 °C and
sonicated for one hour, and brought to
a final volume of 40 mL. The lead
content of the sample extract is
analyzed by Inductively Coupled
Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP–MS)
based on EPA SW–846 Method 6020A.
The application for an equivalent
method determination for this method
was submitted by the Office of Air
Quality Planning and Standards, U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency,
Research Triangle Park, NC 27711 and
was received by the Office of Research
and Development on October 29, 2009.
The analytical procedure of this
method has been tested in accordance
with the applicable test procedures
specified in 40 CFR Part 53, as amended
on November 12, 2008. After reviewing
the results of those tests and other
information submitted in the
application, EPA has determined, in
accordance with Part 53, that this
method should be designated as an
equivalent method for lead. The
information 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 equivalent 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
complete operating procedure (SOP)
associated with the method and subject
to any specifications and limitations
specified in the procedure.
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,
Ambient Air Quality Monitoring

AGENCY: Environmental Protection
Agency.
ACTION: Notice of the designation of one
new equivalent method for monitoring
ambient air quality.
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that
the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) has designated, in accordance
with 40 CFR Part 53, one new
equivalent method for measuring
concentrations of lead (Pb) in total
suspended particulate matter (TSP) 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,

Kaushik.Surender@epa.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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
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 compliance with the
NAAQSs.
The EPA hereby announces the
designation of one new equivalent
method for measuring Pb in TSP in the
ambient air. This designation is made
under the provisions of 40 CFR Part 53,
as amended on November 12, 2008 (73
FR 67057–67059).
The new equivalent method for Pb is
a manual method that uses the sampling
procedure specified in the Reference
Method for the Determination of
Suspended Particulate Matter in the
Atmosphere (High-Volume Method), 40
CFR Part 50, Appendix B, with an
alternative extraction and analytical
procedure. The method is identified as
follows:

December, 2008. 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.
Consistent or repeated
noncompliance with the method
procedure/SOP should be reported to:
Director, Human Exposure and
Atmospheric Sciences Division (MD–
E205–01), National Exposure Research
Laboratory, U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, Research Triangle
Park, North Carolina 27711.
Designation of this new equivalent
method is intended to assist the States
in establishing and operating their air
quality surveillance systems under 40
CFR Part 58. Questions concerning the
technical aspects of the method should
be directed to the applicant.
Dated: May 7, 2010.

Weekly receipt of Environmental Impact
Statements
Filed 05/17/2010 Through 05/21/2010
Pursuant to 40 CFR 1506.9.
Notice: In accordance with Section
309(a) of the Clean Air Act, EPA is
required to make its comments on EISs
issued by other Federal agencies public.
Historically, EPA has met this mandate
by publishing weekly notices of
availability of EPA comments, which
includes a brief summary of EPA’s
comment letters, in the Federal
Register. Since February 2008, EPA has
been including its comment letters on
EISs on its website at: https://www.epa.
gov/compliance/nepa/eisdata.html.
Including the entire EIS comment letters
on the website satisfies the Section
309(a) requirement to make EPA’s
comments on EISs available to the
public. Accordingly, on March 31, 2010,
EPA discontinued the publication of the
notice of availability of EPA comments
in the Federal Register.
