Pursuant to section 3506c2A of the PRA, EPA is soliciting comments and information to enable it to: i Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency, including whether the information will have practical utility; ii evaluate the accuracy of the Agencys estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
iii enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and iv minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses. EPA will consider the comments received and amend the ICR
as appropriate. The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for review and approval. At that time, EPA
will issue another Federal Register notice to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB.
Abstract: To determine compliance with the National Ambient Air Quality Standards NAAQS, State air monitoring agencies are required to use, in their air quality monitoring networks, air monitoring methods that have been formally designated by the EPA as either reference or equivalent methods under EPA regulations at 40 CFR part 53. A
manufacturer or seller of an air monitoring method e.g., an air monitoring sampler or analyzer that seeks to obtain such EPA designation of one of its products must carry out prescribed tests of the method. The test results and other information must then

After a method is designated, the applicant must also maintain records of the names and mailing addresses of all ultimate purchasers of all analyzers or samplers sold as designated methods under the method designation. If the method designated is a method for fine particulate matter PM2.5 and coarse particulate matter PM102.5, the applicant must also submit a checklist signed by an ISO-certified auditor to indicate that the samplers or analyzers sold as part of the designated method are manufactured in an ISO 9001registered facility. Also, an applicant must submit a minor application to seek approval for any proposed modifications to previously designated methods.
