Method for the Determination of Lead in Particulate Matter as PM 10 Collected From Ambient Air. The filter samples are extracted in a hot block at 95 °C with a solution of hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, and hydrofluoric acid and an aliquot of hydrogen peroxide for a total of two and a half hours extraction time. Samples are brought to a final volume of 50 mL and analyzed by Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP–MS) based on EPA Compendium Method IO–3.5 and SW–846 Method 6020A.

The applications for equivalent method determinations for these Pb methods were submitted by Eastern Research Group, Inc., 601 Keystone Park Drive, Suite 700, Morrisville, NC 27560 and were received by the EPA’s Office of Research and Development on October 4, 2011. The method descriptions will be available at http://www.epa.gov/ttnamti1/pbmonitoring.html.

A representative test analyzer for the NO2 method and the analytical procedures for the Pb methods have been tested in accordance with the applicable test procedures specified in 40 CFR Part 53, as amended on August 31, 2011. After reviewing the results of those tests and other information submitted in the applications, EPA has determined, in accordance with Part 53, that each of these methods should be designated as an equivalent method. The information in the applications will be kept on file, either at EPA’s National Exposure Research Laboratory, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina 27711 or in an approved archive storage facility, and will be available for inspection (with advance notice) to the extent consistent with 40 CFR Part 2 (EPA’s regulations implementing the Freedom of Information Act).

As designated equivalent methods, these methods are acceptable for use by states and other air monitoring agencies under the requirements of 40 CFR Part 58, Ambient Air Quality Surveillance. For such purposes, the methods must be used in strict accordance with the operation manual (NO2 method) or the standard operating procedures associated with each of the Pb methods and are subject to any specifications and limitations specified in the applicable designated method description (see the identifications of the methods above).

Use of the methods also should be in general accordance with the guidance and recommendations of applicable sections of the ‘‘Quality Assurance Handbook for Air Pollution Measurement Systems, Volume I,’’ EPA/ 600/R–94/038a and ‘‘Quality Assurance Handbook for Air Pollution Measurement Systems, Volume II, Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Program’’ EPA–454/B–08–003, December, 2008. 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.

Consistent or repeated noncompliance 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 these new equivalent methods 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 methods should be directed to the applicants.

Dated: May 23, 2012. Jennifer Orme-Zavaleta, Director, National Exposure Research Laboratory.

II. What is the Agency’s authority for taking this action?

Section 5(h)(1) of TSCA and 40 CFR 720.38 authorizes EPA to exempt persons from premanufacture notification (PMN) requirements and permit them to manufacture or import new chemical substances for test marketing purposes, if the Agency finds that the manufacture, processing, distribution in commerce, use, and disposal of the substances for test marketing purposes will not present an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment. EPA may impose restrictions on test marketing activities and may modify or revoke a test marketing exemption upon receipt of new information which casts significant doubt on its finding that the test marketing activity will not present an unreasonable risk of injury. III. What action is the agency taking?

EPA approves the TMEs referenced in this notice. EPA has determined that test marketing the new chemical substances, under the conditions set out in the TME applications and in this notice, will not present any unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment. IV. What restrictions apply to these TMEs?

The test market time period, production volume, number of customers, and use must not exceed specifications in the applications and this notice.

The following additional restrictions apply to these TMEs. A bill of lading accompanying each shipment must state that the use of the substance is restricted to that approved in the TME. In addition, the applicant shall maintain the following records until 5 years after the date they are created, and shall make them available for inspection or copying in accordance with section 11 of TSCA:

1. Records of the quantity of the TME substance produced and the date of manufacture.

2. Records of dates of the shipments to each customer and the quantities supplied in each shipment.

3. Copies of the bill of lading that accompanies each shipment of the TME substance.

V. What was EPA’s risk assessment for these TMEs?

EPA identified no significant health or environmental concerns for the test market substances, due to either the low toxicity of each substance or low expected exposure. Therefore, the test market activities will not present any unreasonable risk of injury to human health or the environment. Many of these TMEs were submitted per the TSCA New Chemicals Sustainable Futures Voluntary Pilot Project which is designed to develop low risk chemicals; see the Federal Register of December 11, 2002 (67 FR 76282) (FRL–7198–6). VI. Can EPA change its decision on these TMEs in the future?

Yes. The Agency reserves the right to rescind approval or modify the conditions and restrictions of an exemption should any new information that comes to its attention cast significant doubt on its finding that the test marketing activities will not present any unreasonable risk of injury to human health or the environment.
