Measurement Systems, Volume I,’’ EPA/ 

600/R–94/038a and ‘‘Quality Assurance 

Handbook for Air Pollution 

Measurement Systems, Volume II, Part 

1,’’ EPA–454/R–98–004 (available at 

http://www.epa.gov/ttn/amtic/ 

qabook.html). Vendor modifications of a 

designated reference or 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 or analyzer 

which is identical to the sampler or 

analyzer 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 

and are summarized below: 

(a) A copy of the approved operation 

or instruction manual must accompany 

the sampler or analyzer when it is 

delivered to the ultimate purchaser. 

(b) The sampler or analyzer must not 

generate any unreasonable hazard to 

operators or to the environment. 

(c) The sampler or analyzer must 

function within the limits of the 

applicable performance specifications 

given in 40 CFR Parts 50 and 53 for at 

least one year after delivery when 

maintained and operated in accordance 

with the operation or instruction 

manual. 

(d) Any sampler or analyzer offered 

for sale as part of a reference or 

equivalent method must bear a label or 

sticker indicating that it has been 

designated as part of a reference or 

equivalent method in accordance with 

Part 53 and showing its designated 

method identification number. 

(e) If such an analyzer has two or 

more selectable ranges, the label or 

sticker must be placed in close 

proximity to the range selector and 

indicate which range or ranges have 

been included in the reference or 

equivalent method designation. 

(f) An applicant who offers samplers 

or analyzers for sale as part of a 

reference or equivalent method is 

required to maintain a list of ultimate 

purchasers of such samplers or 

analyzers and to notify them within 30 

days if a reference or equivalent method 

designation applicable to the method 

has been canceled or if adjustment of 

the sampler or analyzer is necessary 

under 40 CFR 53.11(b) to avoid a 

cancellation. 

(g) An applicant who modifies a 

sampler or analyzer previously 

designated as part of a reference or 

equivalent method is not permitted to 

sell the sampler or analyzer (as 

modified) as part of a reference or 

equivalent method (although it may be 

sold without such representation), nor 

to attach a designation label or sticker 

to the sampler or analyzer (as modified) 

under the provisions described above, 

until the applicant has received notice 

under 40 CFR Part 53.14(c) that the 

original designation or a new 

designation applies to the method as 

modified, or until the applicant has 

applied for and received notice under 

40 CFR 53.8(b) of a new reference or 

equivalent method determination for the 

sampler or analyzer as modified. 

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 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 

commercial availability or technical 

aspects of the method should be 

directed to the applicant.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. General Information 

A. Does this Action Apply to Me? 

This action is directed to the public 

in general, and may be of interest to a 

wide range of stakeholders including 

environmental, human health, and 

agricultural advocates; the chemical 

industry; pesticide users; and members 

of the public interested in the sale, 

distribution, or use of pesticides. Since 

others also may be interested, the 

Agency has not attempted to describe all 

the specific entities that may be affected 

by this action. If you have any questions 

regarding the applicability of this action 

to a particular entity, consult the person 

listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT. 

B. What Should I Consider as I Prepare 

My Comments for EPA? 

1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this 

information to EPA through 

regulations.gov or e-mail. Clearly mark 

the part or all of the information that 

you claim to be CBI. For CBI 

information in a disk or CD–ROM that 

you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the 

disk or CD–ROM as CBI and then 

identify electronically within the disk or 

CD–ROM the specific information that 

is claimed as CBI. In addition to one 

complete version of the comment that 

includes information claimed as CBI, a 

copy of the comment that does not 

contain the information claimed as CBI 

must be submitted for inclusion in the 

public docket. Information so marked 

will not be disclosed except in 

accordance with procedures set forth in 

40 CFR part 2. 

2. Tips for preparing your comments. 

When submitting comments, remember 

to: 

i. Identify the document by docket ID 

number and other identifying 

information (subject heading, Federal 

Register date and page number). 

ii. Follow directions. The Agency may 

ask you to respond to specific questions 

or organize comments by referencing a 

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 

or section number. 

iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; 

suggest alternatives and substitute 

language for your requested changes. 

iv. Describe any assumptions and 

provide any technical information and/ 

or data that you used. 

v. If you estimate potential costs or 

burdens, explain how you arrived at 

your estimate in sufficient detail to 

allow for it to be reproduced. 

vi. Provide specific examples to 

illustrate your concerns and suggest 

alternatives. 

vii. Explain your views as clearly as 

possible, avoiding the use of profanity 

or personal threats. 

viii. Make sure to submit your 

comments by the comment period 

deadline identified. 

II. Background 

A. What Action is the Agency Taking? 

Under section 4 of the Federal 

Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide 

Act (FIFRA), EPA is reevaluating 

existing pesticides to ensure that they 

meet current scientific and regulatory 

standards. In 2006, EPA issued an RED 

for dimethoate under section 4(g)(2)(A) 

of FIFRA. In response to a notice of 

availability published in the Federal 

Register on July 12, 2006 (71 FR 39312) 

(FRL–8064–9), the Agency received 

comments from the technical registrant 

and commentors. These comments 

resulted in several changes to the 

dimethoate RED, namely: 1. 

Replacement of maximum number of 

applications per season with a seasonal 

maximum rate; and 2. Increased 

seasonal rates for peppers and cherries. 

The comments, Response to Comments 

Memorandum, and the revised RED 

with updated label table can be found 

in the electronic docket at http:// 

www.regulations.gov in docket ID 

number EPA–HQ–OPP–2005–0084. 

All comments should be submitted 

using the methods in ADDRESSES, and 

must be received by EPA on or before 

the closing date. Comments and 

proposals will become part of the 

Agency Docket for dimethoate. 

Comments received after the close of the 

comment period will be marked ‘‘late.’’

EPA is not required to consider these 

late comments. 

EPA will carefully consider all 

comments received by the closing date 

and will provide a Response to 

Comments Memorandum in the Docket 

and regulations.gov. If any comment 

significantly affects the document, EPA 

also will publish an amendment to the 

RED in the Federal Register. In the 

absence of substantive comments 

requiring changes, the dimethoate RED 

will be implemented as it is now 

presented. 

B. What is the Agency’s Authority for 

Taking this Action? 

Section 4(g)(2) of FIFRA as amended 

directs that, after submission of all data 

concerning a pesticide active ingredient, 

‘‘the Administrator shall determine 

whether pesticides containing such 

active ingredient are eligible for 

reregistration,’’ before calling in product 

specific data on individual end-use 

products and either reregistering 

products or taking other ‘‘appropriate 

regulatory action.’’
