Abstract: This action will allow accredited private audit sample providers to supply regulated emission sources with audit samples to verify the results of emissions testing that demonstrates compliance with emission limits. A regulated emission source conducting a compliance test, would purchase an audit sample from an accredited audit sample provider (AASP). The AASP would report the true value of the audit sample to the compliance authority (state, local or EPA Regional Office). This reporting requirement became effective June 16, 2013. The AASP would in most cases make the report by electronic mail. A report would be made for each audit sample that the AASP sold to a regulated emission source that was conducting an emissions test to determine compliance with an emission limit. Based on historic data, the EPA estimates that there will be about 832 audit samples sold each year generating the need for about 832 reports.
