The EPA is proposing to revise the network design requirements for the lead monitoring, to support the primary National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for Pb. Presently, state agencies, and local agencies when delegated by the state, are required to monitor for lead (1) near Pb emissions sources emitting 1.0 tpy or greater and (2) in Core Based Statistical Areas (CBSA) with a population greater than 500,000 people. Monitoring agencies are also currently allowed to request and receive a waiver from the requirement to monitor near Pb sources if Pb concentrations are expected to be less than 50% of the Pb NAAQS. EPA is proposing to revise the current Pb monitoring requirements. Specifically, the EPA is proposing to lower the emission rate at which monitoring (or a waiver) would be required to 0.50 tpy, and to require Pb monitoring at NCore monitoring sites in lieu of the current requirements for monitoring in CBSA's with a population greater than 500,000 people.

EPA is proposing to revise the current Pb monitoring requirements. Specifically, the EPA is proposing to lower the emission rate at which monitoring (or a waiver) would be required to 0.50 tpy, and to require Pb monitoring at NCore monitoring sites in lieu of the current requirements for monitoring in CBSA's with a population greater than 500,000 people. For the purpose of this ICR, we have estimated the maximum potential burden for the options being considered. The ICR estimates for the final rule will present the burden estimate based on the requirements contained in the final rule. The burden estimates are for the 3-year period of 2011 through 2013.
