configured for dual-filter, single-event
sampling of fine (PM2.5) and coarse (PM10–2.5)
particles, using a virtual impactor to separate
fine and coarse PM into two samples for
collection on two separate filter membranes,
operated for a 24-hour sample period and in
accordance with the Thermo Scientific
Partisol® 2000–D Dichotomous Operating
Manual.
EQPS–0311–198, ‘‘Thermo Scientific
Dichotomous Partisol®–Plus Model 2025–D
Sequential Air Sampler,’’ configured for dualfilter sampling of fine (PM2.5) and coarse
(PM10–2.5) particles, using a virtual impactor
to separate the fine and coarse PM into two
samples for collection on two separate filter
membranes, and operated with the modified
filter shuttle mechanism implemented May
31, 2008 and firmware version 1.500, or later,
for 24-hour continuous sample periods and
in accordance with the Dichotomous
Partisol®–Plus Model 2025–D Sequential Air
Sampler Operating Manual.
Applications for equivalent method
determinations for these candidate
methods were received by the EPA on
September 7, 2010. The samplers are
commercially available from the
applicant, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Air
Quality Instruments, Environmental
Instruments Division, 27 Forge Parkway,
Franklin, MA 02038.
The analytical procedure for the Pb
method and the test analyzers or
samplers representative of the other
methods have been tested in accordance
with the applicable test procedures
specified in 40 CFR Part 53 (as amended
on June 22, 2010). After reviewing the
results of those tests and other
information submitted by the applicants
in the respective applications, EPA has
determined, in accordance with Part 53,
that these methods should be designated
as equivalent methods. The information
submitted by the applicants in the
respective applications 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 designated equivalent methods,
these methods are 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, each method must
be used in strict accordance with the
operation or instruction manual or
standard operating procedure associated
with the method and subject to any
specifications and limitations (e.g.,
configuration or operational settings)
specified in the applicable designated
method description (see the
identifications of the methods above).
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:11 Mar 21, 2011
Jkt 223001
Use of the methods 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
Program’’ EPA–454/B–08–003,
December, 2008 (available at https://
www.epa.gov/ttn/amtic/qalist.html).
Vendor modifications of a designated
equivalent 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, analyzer, or
method which is identical to the
sampler, analyzer, or method 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.
Aside from occasional breakdowns or
malfunctions, consistent or repeated
noncompliance with any of these
conditions 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 these new equivalent
methods is intended to assist the States
in establishing and operating their air
quality surveillance systems under 40
CFR Part 58. Questions concerning the
commercial availability or technical
aspects of the methods should be
directed to the applicants.
Jewel F. Morris,
Acting Director, National Exposure Research
Laboratory.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
October 13, 2005, the final Cross-Media
Electronic Reporting Rule (CROMERR)
was published in the Federal Register
(70 FR 59848) and codified as Part 3 of
title 40 of the CFR. CROMERR
establishes electronic reporting as an
acceptable regulatory alternative to
paper reporting and establishes
requirements to assure that electronic
documents are as legally dependable as
their paper counterparts. Under Subpart
D of CROMERR, state, tribe or local
government agencies that receive, or
wish to begin receiving, electronic
reports under their EPA-authorized
programs must apply to EPA for a
revision or modification of those
programs and obtain EPA approval.
Subpart D also provides standards for
such approvals based on consideration
of the electronic document receiving
systems that the state, tribe, or local
government will use to implement the
electronic reporting. Additionally, in
§ 3.1000(b) through (e) of 40 CFR Part 3,
Subpart D provides special procedures
for program revisions and modifications
to allow electronic reporting, to be used
at the option of the state, tribe or local

government in place of procedures
available under existing programspecific authorization regulations. An
application submitted under the
Subpart D procedures must show that
the state, tribe or local government has
sufficient legal authority to implement
the electronic reporting components of
the programs covered by the application
and will use electronic document
receiving systems that meet the
applicable Subpart D requirements.
On August 31, 2010, the Colorado
Department of Public Health and
Environment (CODPHE) submitted an
application for its Net Discharge
Monitoring Report (NetDMR) electronic
document receiving system for revision/
modification of its EPA-authorized
programs under title 40 CFR. EPA
reviewed CODPHE’s request to revise its
EPA-authorized programs and, based on
this review, EPA determined that the
application met the standards for
approval of authorized program
revisions/modifications set out in 40
CFR part 3, subpart D. In accordance
with 40 CFR 3.1000(d), this notice of
EPA’s decision to approve Colorado’s
request for revision to its 40 CFR Part
123— National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) State
Program Requirements and Part 403—
General Pretreatment Regulations For
Existing And New Sources Of Pollution
EPA-authorized programs for electronic
reporting of discharge monitoring report
information submitted under 40 CFR
parts 122 and 403 is being published in
the Federal Register.
CODPHE was notified of EPA’s
determination to approve its application
with respect to the authorized programs
listed above.
