Pause the Development of the Draft 

Quality Standard for Environmental 

Data Collection, Production, and Use 

by Non-EPA (External) Organizations 

and Two Associated QA Handbooks 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency published a document in the 

Federal Register of December 26, 2012, 

concerning request for comments for the 

Draft Quality Standard for 

Environmental Data Collection, 

Production, and Use by Non-EPA 

(External) Organizations and two 

associated QA Handbooks. EPA has 

decided to pause the development of the 

draft Quality Standards for Data 

Collection, Production and Use. This 

decision was made after careful 

consideration of the comments received 

from external stakeholders and 

discussion with our internal 

stakeholders. 

This pause will allow the Agency to 

revise the existing EPA Quality Policy 

and Procedure to integrate the relevant 

sections of the EPA Order 5360.1, EPA 

Quality Manual and draft Quality 

Standards. At the conclusion of this 

revision, we will revise the draft Quality 

Standards to align with the revised 

Quality Policy and Procedure and 

integrate the relevant sections of our 

existing QA Requirements documents 

(R–2, R–5). Throughout the process, EPA 

plans to solicit input from both internal 

and external stakeholders and provide 

frequent status updates. We believe this 

approach will address many of the 

concerns raised by our stakeholders 

during the public comment period for 

the Quality Standard.
