Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 

the PRA, EPA is soliciting comments 

and information to enable it to: (i) 

Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the Agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; (ii) evaluate the 

accuracy of the Agency’s estimate of the 

burden of the proposed collection of 

information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(iii) enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (iv) minimize the burden 

of the collection of information on those 

who are to respond, including through 

the use of appropriate automated 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submission of 

responses. EPA will consider the 

comments received and amend the ICR 

as appropriate. The final ICR package 

will then be submitted to OMB for 

review and approval. At that time, EPA 

will issue another Federal Register 

notice to announce the submission of 

the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to 

submit additional comments to OMB. 

Abstract: To determine compliance 

with the NAAQS, State air monitoring 

agencies are required to use, in their air 

quality monitoring networks, air 

monitoring methods that have been 


emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with NOTICES
37310 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 126 / Tuesday, July 1, 2014 / Notices 

formally designated by the EPA as either 

reference or equivalent methods under 

EPA regulations at 40 CFR Part 53. A 

manufacturer or seller of an air 

monitoring method (e.g. an air 

monitoring sampler or analyzer) that 

seeks to obtain such EPA designation of 

one of its products must carry out 

prescribed tests of the method. The test 

results and other information must then 

be submitted to the EPA in the form of 

an application for a reference or 

equivalent method determination in 

accordance with 40 CFR Part 53. The 

EPA uses this information, under the 

provisions of Part 53, to determine 

whether the particular method should 

be designated as either a reference or 

equivalent method. After a method is 

designated, the applicant must also 

maintain records of the names and 

mailing addresses of all ultimate 

purchasers of all analyzers or samplers 

sold as designated methods under the 

method designation. If the method 

designated is a method for fine 

particulate matter (PM2.5) and coarse 

particulate matter (PM10–2.5), the 

applicant must also submit a checklist 

signed by an ISO-certified auditor to 

indicate that the samplers or analyzers 

sold as part of the designated method 

are manufactured in an ISO 9001- 

registered facility. Also, an applicant 

must submit a minor application to seek 

approval for any proposed 

modifications to previously designated 

methods. 

Form Numbers: None 

Respondents/affected entities: Private 

manufacturers, states. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Required to obtain the benefit of EPA 

designation under 40 CFR Part 53. 

Submission of some information that is 

claimed by the applicant to be 

confidential business information may 

be necessary to make a reference or 

equivalent method determination. The 

confidentiality of any submitted 

information identified as confidential 

business information by the applicant 

will be protected in full accordance 

with 40 CFR Part 53.15 and all 

applicable provisions of 40 CFR Part 2. 

Estimated number of respondents: 22 

Frequency of response: Annual 

Total estimated burden: 7,492 hours 

Total estimated cost: $650,494 (per 

year), includes $132,668, annualized 

capital or operation & maintenance 

costs. 

Changes in Estimates: There is no 

change in the hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by 

OMB.
