Ambient Air Monitoring Regulations: Correcting and Other Amendments

Docket ID EPA-HQ-OAR-2004-0018

Item: Email message to Amy Flynn of OMB documenting changes to Ambient
Air Monitoring Direct Final Rule.

Date: March 9, 2007

Amy:

Thanks for the comments - here is the corrected file.

1) Clarified the language on page 18 to remove the unneeded reference to
discretionary SLAMS monitors "in rural areas."  You will note I
simplified the sentence further to clarify that the context is PM2.5
monitors in excess of minimum monitoring requirements.

2) I also changed the language on page 36 concerning the "There is a
period......".  In fact, our discussion of the typo was incorrect.  We
are indeed removing an unintended period.  My thanks to your eagle-eyed
reviewer for spotting this.

3) I learned something today about ellipsis.  I changed the "dots"
language to ellipsis on page 39.

If possible, please let me know today by email or phone if the comments
have been satisfactorily addressed.  If your office is in a position to
waive the formal review based on today's changes, that would be
something we would need in an email message.
