Subject
RE:
PM10
and
PM10­
2.5
equivalence
I
also
looked
at
it
quickly.
It
indicates
that
there
is
an
Analysis
12
­­
PM10­
2.5
equivalence
to
PM10
NAAQS
(
daily
standard).
Analysis
12
is
Output
A
12.
I
also
could
no
see
where
it
specifically
demonstates
the
mathematical
equivalence
of
150
being
the
sam
as
70,
as
Bachmann
indicated
that
he
would
send
us.
This
appears
to
be
a
typical
EPA
'
analysis'
with
many
pages
and
charts
with
superficial
data
[
e.
g.,
PM10­
2.5
data
is
based
on
simple
subtraction
and
from
limited
measurement
­­
used
only
12
urban
sites;
PM10
and
PM2.5
determined
at
different
times,
etc.].

This
only
gives
the
Federal
Register
proposal
for
the
98th
percentile,
but
I
don't
see
where
it
specifically
demonstates
the
mathematical
equivalence
of
150
being
the
same
as
70?

Subject:
PM10
and
PM10­
2.5
equivalence
We
have
received
several
inquiries
regarding
the
analyses
that
have
been
completed
by
EPA
on
the
question
of
equivalence
between
the
existing
24­
hour
PM10
standard
and
the
proposed
24­
hour
PM10­
2.5
standard
level
of
70
ug/
m3.
A
summary
of
these
analyses
is
available
in
the
public
docket
for
the
PM
NAAQS
rulemaking,
EPA­
HQ­
OAR­
2001­
0017,
item
number
­
0396,
beginning
at
page
103.
This
analysis
can
be
accessed
via
the
docket
portal
(
www.
regulations.
gov),
and
for
your
convenience
I
have
also
attached
the
entire
technical
support
memo
completed
by
Mark
Schmidt
which
contains
the
equivalence
analysis.
If
you
have
further
questions,
please
let
me
know.

Thank
you,
