particulate matter using the U.S. EPA 

PM10 inlet specified in 40 CFR part 50, 

Appendix L, Figs. L–2 thru L–19, 

equipped with either a Mesa 

Laboratories VSCCTM cyclone or WINS 

PM2.5 fractionator, with a flow rate of 

16.67 L/min, using 47 mm PTFE 

membrane filter media, and operating 

with firmware version R1.1.0 and later, 

and operated in accordance with the 

Met One E–SEQ–FRM PM2.5 operating 

manual. This designation applies to 

PM2.5 measurements only. 

The new reference method for PM10 is 

a manual monitoring method based on 

a specific PM10 sampler and is 

identified as follows: 

RFPS–0717–246, ‘‘Met One 

Instruments, Inc. E–SEQ–FRM,’’ 

sequential sampler configured for multievent filter sampling of ambient 

particulate matter using the U.S. EPA 

PM10 inlet specified in 40 CFR part 50, 

Appendix L, Figs. L–2 thru L–19, 

equipped with either a Mesa 

Laboratories VSCCTM cyclone or WINS 

PM2.5 fractionator, with a flow rate of 

16.67 L/min, using 47 mm PTFE 

membrane filter media, and operating 

with firmware version R1.1.0 and later, 

and operated in accordance with the 

Met One E–SEQ–FRM PM10 operating 

manual. This designation applies to 

PM10 measurements only. 

The new PM10-2.5 reference method 

utilizes a pair of filter samplers that 

have been designated individually as 

reference methods, one for PM2.5 and 

the other one for PM10, and have been 

shown to meet the requirements 

specified in appendix O of 40 CFR part 

50. The PM2.5 and PM10 samplers are 

designated as reference methods RFPS– 

0717–245 and RFPS–0717–246, 

respectively. The newly designated 

PM10-2.5 sampler is identified as follows: 

RFPS–0717–247, ‘‘Met One 

Instruments, Inc. E–SEQ–FRM PM10 and 

E–SEQ–FRM PM2.5 Sampler Pair’’ for 

the determination of coarse particulate 

matter as PM10-2.5, consisting of a pair of 

Met One Instruments, Inc. E–SEQ–FRM 

samplers, with one being the E–SEQ– 

FRM PM2.5 sampler (RFPS–0717–245) 

and the other being the E–SEQ–FRM 

PM10 sampler (RFPS–0717–246). The 

units are to be collocated to within 1– 

4 meters of one another and sample 

concurrently. Both units are operated in 

accordance with the associated E–SEQ– 

FRM instruction manual. This 

designation applies to PM10-2.5

measurements only. 

The application for reference method 

determination for the PM2.5 method was 

received by the Office of Research and 

Development on May 17, 2017, the PM10

method application was received on 

June 5, 2017, and the PM10-2.5 method 

was received on July 25, 2017. These 

monitors are commercially available 

from the applicant, Met One 

Instruments, Inc., 1600 Washington 

Blvd., Grants Pass, OR 97526. 

Test monitors representative of these 

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 these 

methods should be designated as 

reference methods. 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 reference 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 or instruction manuals 

associated with the methods and subject 

to any specifications and limitations 

(e.g., configuration or operational 

settings) specified in the applicable 

designated descriptions (see the 

identification 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, 

Exposure Methods and Measurement 

Division (MD–E205–01), National 

Exposure Research Laboratory, U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency, 

Research Triangle Park, North Carolina 

27711. 

Designation of these new reference 

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 applicant.
