        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Compliance with many air rules is determined through use of process parameter values, instead of direct measurements of the pollutants of concern. No uniform set of requirements exist that inform users of parameter monitoring devices of the suitability of the devices for specific tasks or the ability of the devices to provide valid data. The lack of such requirements means that the data from those devices are less certain than other data collected for the Agency and puts those who rely on parameter monitoring values at risk of being incorrect. This rule would establish minimum acceptable requirements, both for initial installation and ongoing operation, for five common classes of parameter monitoring devices  temperature, pressure, flow rate (liquid, gas, and mass), pH, and conductivity. In addition, this rule would revise portions of other rules to ensure a consistent approach for parameter monitoring. Finally, unrelated to parameter monitoring, the rule would clarify ongoing quality assurance requirements for direct measurement devices that detect multiple pollutants. The rule was proposed on October 9, 2008, and it can be found beginning on page 59,956 of Volume 73 of the Federal Register.]]></ABSTRACT>
