Performance Based Measurement

System

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of intent.

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA) plans to implement a

Performance Based Measurement

System (PBMS) for environmental

monitoring in all of its media programs

to the extent feasible. The Agency

defines PBMS as a set of processes

wherein the data quality needs,

mandates or limitations of a program or

project are specified, and serve as

criteria for selecting appropriate

methods to meet those needs in a costeffective manner. Where PBMS is

implemented, the regulated community

would be able to select any appropriate

analytical test method for use in

complying with EPA’s regulations. It is

EPA’s intent that implementation of

PBMS have the overall effect of

improving data quality and encouraging

advancement of analytical technologies.
