11174 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 32 / Friday, February 15, 2013 / Notices 

The applicant proposes to make no 

more than three applications of 

Kasumin 2L on not more that 10,000 

acres of apples between April 1 and 

May 31, 2013, in Antrim, Berrien, Cass, 

Grand Traverse, Ionia, Kent, Leelanau, 

Montcalm, Newaygo, Oceana, Ottawa, 

and Van Buren counties. As currently 

proposed, the maximum amount of 

product to be applied would be 30,000 

gallons. 

This notice does not constitute a 

decision by EPA on the application 

itself. The regulations governing FIFRA 

section 18 requires publication of a 

notice of receipt of an application for a 

specific exemption proposing use of a 

new chemical (i.e., an active ingredient) 

which has not been registered by EPA. 

The notice provides an opportunity for 

public comment on the application. The 

Agency will review and consider all 

comments received during the comment 

period in determining whether to issue 

the specific exemption requested by the 

Michigan Department of Agriculture.

Recent Postings of Broadly Applicable 

Alternative Test Methods 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces the 

broadly applicable alternative test 

method approval decisions the EPA has 

made under and in support of New 

Source Performance Standards (NSPS) 

and the National Emission Standards for 

Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) 

under the Clean Air Act (CAA) in 2012. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: An 

electronic copy of each alternative test 

method approval document is available 

on the EPA’s Web site at www.epa.gov/ 

ttn/emc/approalt.html. For questions 

about this notice, contact Ms. Lula H.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. General Information 

A. Does this notice apply to me? 

This notice will be of interest to 

entities regulated under 40 Code of 

Federal Regulations (CFR) parts 60, 61, 

and 63, state, local, and tribal agencies, 

and the EPA Regional Offices 

responsible for implementation and 

enforcement of regulations under 40 

CFR parts 60, 61, and 63. 

B. How can I get copies of this 

information? 

You may access copies of the broadly 

applicable alternative test method 

approval documents from the EPA’s 

Web site at www.epa.gov/ttn/emc/ 

approalt.html. 

II. Background 

Broadly applicable alternative test 

method approval decisions made by the 

EPA in 2012 under the NSPS, 40 CFR 

part 60 and the NESHAP, and 40 CFR 

parts 61 and 63 are identified in this 

notice (see Table 1). Source owners and 

operators may voluntarily use these 

broadly applicable alternative test 

methods subject to their specific 

applicability. Use of these broadly 

applicable alternative test methods does 

not change the applicable emission 

standards. 

As explained in a previous Federal 

Register notice published at 72 FR 4257 

(January 30, 2007) and found on the 

EPA’s Web site at www.epa.gov/ttn/ 

emc/approalt.html, the EPA 

Administrator has the authority to 

approve the use of alternative test 

methods to comply with requirements 

under 40 CFR parts 60, 61, and 63. This 

authority is found in sections 60.8(b)(3), 

61.13(h)(1)(ii), and 63.7(e)(2)(ii). In the 

past, we have performed thorough 

technical reviews of numerous requests 

for alternatives and modifications to test 

methods and procedures. Based on 

these reviews, we have often found that 

these changes or alternatives would be 

equally valid and appropriate to apply 

to other sources within a particular 

class, category, or subcategory. 

Consequently, we have concluded that, 

where a method modification or an 

alternative method is clearly broadly 

applicable to a class, category, or 

subcategory of sources, it is both more 

equitable and efficient to approve its use 

for all appropriate sources and 

situations at the same time. 

It is important to clarify that 

alternative methods are not mandatory 

but permissive. Sources are not required 

to employ such a method but may 

choose to do so in appropriate cases. 

Source owners or operators should 

review the specific broadly applicable 

alternative method approval decision on 

the EPA’s Web site at www.epa.gov/ttn/ 

emc/approalt.html before electing to 

employ it. As per 63.7(f)(5), by electing 

to use an alternative method for 40 CFR 

part 63 standards, the source owner or 

operator must continue to use the 

alternative method until approved 

otherwise. 

The criteria for approval and 

procedures for submission and review 

of broadly applicable alternative test 

methods are outlined at 72 FR 4257 

(January 30, 2007). We will continue to 

announce approvals for broadly 

applicable alternative test methods on 

the EPA’s Web site at www.epa.gov/ttn/ 

emc/approalt.html and annually 

publish a notice that summarizes 

approvals for broadly applicable 

alternative test methods. 

This notice comprises a summary of 

seven such approval documents added 

to our Technology Transfer Network 

from January 1, 2012, through December 

31, 2012. The alternative method 

decision letter/memo number, the 

reference method affected, sources 

allowed to use this alternative, and the 

modification or alternative method 

allowed are summarized in Table 1 of 

this notice. Please refer to the complete 

copies of these approval documents 

available from the EPA’s Web site at 

www.epa.gov/ttn/emc/approalt.html as 

Table 1 serves only as a brief summary 

of the broadly applicable alternative test 

methods. In addition to alternative 

decisions listed in Table 1, we received 

comments and updated Alternative-082, 

which was approved the previous year 

in 2011. This alternative approval letter 

can also be viewed at www.epa.gov/ttn/ 

emc/approalt.html. 

If you are aware of reasons why a 

particular alternative test method 

approval that we issued should not be 

broadly applicable, we request that you 

make us aware of the reasons in writing, 

and we will revisit the broad approval. 

Any objection to a broadly applicable 

alternative test method, as well as the 

resolution of that objection, will be 

announced on the EPA’s Web site at 

www.epa.gov/ttn/emc/approalt.html 

and in the subsequent Federal Register 

notice. If we decide to retract a broadly 

applicable test method, we would 

continue to grant case-by-case 

approvals, as appropriate, and would (as

states, local and tribal agencies and the 

EPA Regional Offices should) consider 

the need for an appropriate transition 

period for users either to request caseby-case approval or to transition to an 

approved method.
