In a notice in the April 16, 1998 issue

of the Federal Register (63 FR 18911),

the EPA announced that a method for

monitoring PM2.5 in the ambient air

identified as ‘‘RFPS–0498–116, BGI

Incorporated Model PQ200 PM2.5

Ambient Find Particle Sampler’’ was

‘‘conditionally’’ designated as a

reference method under § 53.51(b)(2)

pending ISO 9001 certification of the

BGI manufacturing facility. That

certification is now complete, and the

designation of the PM2.5 reference

method based on the BGI Model PQ200

sampler (BGI, Incorporated, 58 Guinan

Street, Waltham, MA 02154) is no

longer conditional.
