Method for the Determination of Lead in 

Particulate Matter as PM10 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. General Information 

A. Does this action apply to me? 

This action is directed in particular to 

the chemical manufacturer and/or 

importer who submitted the TMEs to 

EPA. This action may, however, be of 

interest to the public in general. Since 

other entities may also 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 

technical person listed under FOR

FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. 

B. How can I get copies of this document 

and other related information? 

EPA has established a docket for this 

action under docket ID number EPA– 

HQ–OPPT–2012–0412. All documents 

in the docket are listed in the docket 

index at http://www.regulations.gov. 

Although listed in the index, some 

information is not publicly available, 

e.g., Confidential Business Information 

(CBI) or other information whose 

disclosure is restricted by statute. 

Certain other material, such as 

copyrighted material, will be publicly 

available only in hard copy. Publicly 

available docket materials are available 

electronically at http:// 

www.regulations.gov, or, if only 

available in hard copy, at the OPPT 

Docket. The OPPT Docket is located in 

the EPA Docket Center (EPA/DC) at Rm. 

3334, EPA West Bldg., 1301

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. All other conditions and 

restrictions described in the 

applications and in this notice must also 

be met.

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.
