        <RULE_TITLE>Restructuring of the Stationary Source Audit Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[40 CFR parts 51, 60, 61, and 63 contain EPA's air toxics emissions standards (NESHAPS) and emission standards for new stationary sources (NSPS). 40 CFR 63.7(c)(2)(ii) requires an external Quality Assurance (QA) program that at a minimum includes an application of plans for a test method performance audit during the performance test. 40 CFR part 60 appendices also contain similar requirements within individual test methods. Currently EPA provides these audit samples free of charge because there were no commercial sources. Because of growth in the laboratory calibration standards, there are now commercial sources available to provide these audit samples. Restructuring this program will allow commercial suppliers to replace EPA as the source of audit samples. As a result of restructuring, there will be both greater availability and new kinds of audit samples which should yield increased usage of the audit sample program and, in turn, overall better quality test data. Without this rulemaking being promulgated by October 2009, EPA would require 220K additional funds in FY 2010 and every year thereafter to run the program with the new kind of samples and greater sample availability offered by the restructured program.]]></ABSTRACT>
