Ambient Air Monitoring Reference and
Equivalent Methods; Designation of
One New Reference Method
Environmental Protection
Agency.
ACTION: Notice of the designation of a
new reference method for monitoring
ambient air quality.
AGENCY:
Notice is hereby given that
the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) has designated one new reference
method for measuring concentrations of
sulfur dioxide (SO2) in ambient air.

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 (NAAQS) 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 or equivalent methods (as
applicable), thereby permitting their use
under 40 CFR part 58 by States and
lotter on DSKBCFDHB2PROD with NOTICES
SUMMARY:
other agencies for determining
compliance with the NAAQS. A list of
all reference or equivalent methods that
have been previously designated by EPA
may be found at https://www.epa.gov/
ttn/amtic/criteria.html.
The EPA hereby announces the
designation of one new reference
method for measuring concentrations of
SO2 in ambient air. This designation is
made under the provisions of 40 CFR
part 53, as amended on October 26,
2015 (80 FR 65291–65468).
The new reference method for SO2 is
an automated method (analyzer)
utilizing the measurement principle
based on ultraviolet fluorescence. This
newly designated reference method is
identified as follows:
RFSA–1219–255, ‘‘Focused Photonics
Inc. AQMS–500 SO2 Analyzer’’
Ultraviolet Fluorescence (UVF) analyzer
operated in the range of 0–0.5 ppm,
with 5 mm, 47 mm diameter Teflon®
(PTFE) filter installed, operated at
temperatures between 20 °C and 30 °C,
at nominal input line voltage of 220 ±
10% VAC and frequency of 50 Hz, at a
nominal sampling flow rate of 800 ± 80
cc/min, and operated according to the
FPI AQMS–500 User Manual.
This application for a reference
method determination for this SO2
method was received by the Office of
Research and Development on October
31, 2019. This analyzer is commercially
available from the applicant, Focused
Photonics Inc. (FPI), 760 Bin‘an Road,
Binjiang District, Hangzhou, Zhejiang,
China.
A representative test analyzer was
tested in accordance with the applicable
test procedures specified in 40 CFR part
53, as amended on October 26, 2015.
After reviewing the results of those tests
and other information submitted by the
applicant, EPA has determined, in
accordance with part 53, that this
method should be designated as a
reference method.
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, this method must be
used in strict accordance with the
operation or instruction manual
associated with the method and subject
to any specifications and limitations
(e.g., configuration or operational
settings) specified in the designated
method description (see the
identification of the method above).
Use of the method also should 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–13–003, (both
available at https://www.epa.gov/ttn/
amtic/qalist.html). 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 any of these conditions should be
reported to: Director, Air Methods and
Characterization Division (MD–D205–
03), Center for Environmental
Measurements and Modeling, U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency,
Research Triangle Park, North Carolina
27711.
Designation of this reference method
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 method should be
directed to the applicant.
Dated: January 16, 2020.
