ACTION: Notice of the designation of two new reference methods for monitoring ambient air quality. SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the Environmental Protection Agency

(EPA)has designated, in accordance with 40 CFR part 53, two new reference methods, one each for measuring concentrations of particulate matter as PM 10 and nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ) in the ambient air. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Elizabeth Hunike, Human Exposure and Atmospheric Sciences Division (MD-D205-03), National Exposure Research Laboratory, U.S. EPA, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina 27711. Phone:

(919)541-3737, e-mail: *Hunike.Elizabeth@epa.gov.* SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with regulations at 40 CFR Part 53, the EPA evaluates various methods for monitoring the concentrations of those ambient air pollutants for which EPA has established National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQSs) as set forth in 40 CFR part 50. Monitoring methods that are determined to meet specific requirements for adequacy are designated by the EPA as either reference methods or equivalent methods (as applicable), thereby permitting their use under 40 CFR part 58 by States and other agencies for determining attainment of the NAAQSs. The EPA hereby announces the designation of two new reference methods for measuring concentrations of PM 10 and NO 2 in the ambient air. These designations are made under the provisions of 40 CFR part 53, as amended on July 18, 1997 (62 FR 38764). The new reference method for PM 10 is a manual method that is based on a particular, commercially available high volume PM 10 sampler, as specified in appendix J of 40 CFR part 50. The newly designated reference method is identified as follows: RFPS-0706-162, Ecotech Pty. Ltd. Model 3000 PM 10 High Volume Air Sampler, configured with the Ecotech PM 10 Size-Selective Inlet

(SSI)(P-ECO-HVS3000-02), with the flow rate set to 1.13 m 3 /min (67.8 m 3 /hour). An application for a reference method determination for the method based on this Ecotech sampler was received by the EPA on November 29, 2005. The sampler is available commercially from the applicant, Ecotech Pty. Ltd., 12 Apollo Court, Blackburn, Victoria 3130, Australia. The new reference method for NO 2 is an automated method (analyzer) that utilizes the measurement principle (gas phase chemiluminescence) and calibration procedure specified in appendix F of 40 CFR part 50. This newly designated NO 2 reference method is identified as follows: RFNA-0706-0163, “Seres Model NO X 2000 G Nitrogen Dioxide Ambient Air Analyzer” operated with a full scale measurement range of 0-0.50 ppm, at any ambient temperature in the range of 20 °C to 30 °C. An application for a reference method determination for the Seres Model NO X 2000 G was received by the EPA on January 19, 2006. The analyzer is available commercially from the applicant, Seres, 360, Rue Louis de Broglie, La Duranne BP 87000, 13793 Aix en Provence, Cedex 3, France ( *http://www.seres-france.com* ). Samplers or a test analyzer representative of each of these methods have been tested in accordance with the applicable test procedures specified in 40 CFR part 53 (as amended on July 18, 1997). After reviewing the results of those tests and other information submitted by the applicants in the respective applications, EPA has determined, in accordance with part 53, that each of these methods should be designated as a reference method. The information submitted by the applicants in their respective applications will be kept on file, either at EPA's National Exposure Research Laboratory, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina 27711 or in an approved archive storage facility, and will be available for inspection (with advance notice) to the extent consistent with 40 CFR part 2 (EPA's regulations implementing the Freedom of Information Act). As a designated reference or equivalent method, each of these methods is acceptable for use by states and other air monitoring agencies under the requirements of 40 CFR part 58, Ambient Air Quality Surveillance. For such purposes, the method must be used in strict accordance with the operation or instruction manual associated with the method and subject to any specifications and limitations (e.g., configuration or operational settings) specified in the applicable designation method description (see the identifications of the methods above). Use of each method should also be in general accordance with the guidance and recommendations of applicable sections of the “Quality Assurance Handbook for Air Pollution Measurement Systems, Volume I,” EPA/600/R-94/038a and “Quality Assurance Handbook for Air Pollution Measurement Systems, Volume II, part 1,” EPA-454/R-98-004 (available at *http://www.epa.gov/ttn/amtic/qabook.html* ). Vendor modifications of a designated reference or equivalent method used for purposes of Part 58 are permitted only with prior approval of the EPA, as provided in Part 53. Provisions concerning modification of such methods by users are specified under section 2.8 (Modifications of Methods by Users) of Appendix C to 40 CFR part 58. In general, a method designation applies to any sampler or analyzer which is identical to the sampler or analyzer described in the application for designation. In some cases, similar samplers or analyzers manufactured prior to the designation may be upgraded or converted ( *e.g.* , by minor modification or by substitution of the approved operation or instruction manual) so as to be identical to the designated method and thus achieve designated status. The manufacturer should be consulted to determine the feasibility of such upgrading or conversion. Part 53 requires that sellers of designated reference or equivalent method analyzers or samplers comply with certain conditions. These conditions are specified in 40 CFR 53.9 and are summarized below:

(a)A copy of the approved operation or instruction manual must accompany the sampler or analyzer when it is delivered to the ultimate purchaser.

(b)The sampler or analyzer must not generate any unreasonable hazard to operators or to the environment.

(c)The sampler or analyzer must function within the limits of the applicable performance specifications given in 40 CFR parts 50 and 53 for at least one year after delivery when maintained and operated in accordance with the operation or instruction manual.

(d)Any sampler or analyzer offered for sale as part of a reference or equivalent method must bear a label or sticker indicating that it has been designated as part of a reference or equivalent method in accordance with part 53 and showing its designated method identification number.

(e)If such an analyzer has two or more selectable ranges, the label or sticker must be placed in close proximity to the range selector and indicate which range or ranges have been included in the reference or equivalent method designation.

(f)An applicant who offers samplers or analyzers for sale as part of a reference or equivalent method is required to maintain a list of ultimate purchasers of such samplers or analyzers and to notify them within 30 days if a reference or equivalent method designation applicable to the method has been canceled or if adjustment of the sampler or analyzer is necessary under 40 CFR 53.11(b) to avoid a cancellation.

(g)An applicant who modifies a sampler or analyzer previously designated as part of a reference or equivalent method is not permitted to sell the sampler or analyzer (as modified) as part of a reference or equivalent method (although it may be sold without such representation), nor to attach a designation label or sticker to the sampler or analyzer (as modified) under the provisions described above, until the applicant has received notice under 40 CFR 53.14(c) that the original designation or a new designation applies to the method as modified, or until the applicant has applied for and received notice under 40 CFR 53.8(b) of a new reference or equivalent method determination for the sampler or analyzer as modified. Aside from occasional breakdowns or malfunctions, consistent or repeated noncompliance with any of these conditions should be reported to: Director, Human Exposure and Atmospheric Sciences Division (MD-E205-01), National Exposure Research Laboratory, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina 27711. Designation of these new reference and equivalent methods is intended to assist the States in establishing and operating their air quality surveillance systems under 40 CFR 58. Questions concerning the commercial availability or technical aspects of the method should be directed to the applicant. Jewel F. Morris, Acting Director, National Exposure Research Laboratory.

The Settling Parties will consent to and will not contest the authority of the United States to enter into this Agreement or to implement or enforce its terms. In return, the Settling Parties receive a Covenant Not to Sue from EPA. The EPA has incurred response costs totaling approximately $1,109,446.43 through February 28, 2006, and any additional Response Costs through the present date. EPA alleges that Settling Parties are Potentially Responsible Parties pursuant to Section 107(a) of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9607(a), and are jointly and severally liable for Response Costs incurred and to be incurred at or in connection with the Site. EPA has reviewed the financial information submitted by Settling Parties and based upon this information, EPA has determined that none of the three Settling Parties has the financial ability to pay for Response Costs incurred and to be incurred at the Site. The Settling Parties agree to provide EPA access at all reasonable times to the Site and to any other property owned or controlled by the Settling Parties for the purpose of conducting any response activity related to the Site. The Settling Parties shall refrain from using the Site, or such other property, in any manner that would interfere with or adversely affect the implementation, integrity, ongoing operations and maintenance of the containment cell or protectiveness of the Site response. Such restrictions are defined as Institutional Controls, and are part of the subject Agreement. The Settling Parties agree to fulfill all Notice and Recording requirements associated with the terms of the subject Agreement. The Settling Parties have executed and recorded certain Institutional Controls in the Office of the Clerk and Recorder of Mineral County, Montana and provided EPA with a certified copy of the original recorded Institutional Controls, showing the clerk's recording stamps. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, EPA retains all of its access authorities and rights, including enforcement authorities related thereto, under CERCLA, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), and any other applicable statutes or regulations. EPA's covenant not to sue is conditioned upon the satisfactory performance by the Settling Parties of their obligations under this Agreement. This covenant not to sue is also conditioned upon the veracity and completeness of the Financial Information provided to EPA by the Settling Parties. The Settling Parties recognize that this Agreement has been negotiated in good faith and that this Agreement is entered into without the admission or adjudication of any issue of fact or law. DATES: Comments concerning this Agreement are due by August 24, 2006. The Agency will consider all comments received and may modify or withdraw its consent to the Agreement if comments received disclose facts or considerations that indicate that the Agreement is inappropriate, improper, or inadequate. ADDRESSES: The Agency will place its response to any comments received as a result of this Notice, the proposed Agreement and additional background information relating to the Agreement in the Superfund Records Center where documents are available for public inspection.

ACTION: Policy Statement. SUMMARY: The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board) has adopted changes to its Policy on Payments System Risk affecting the procedures for measuring daylight overdrafts. Funds transfers that the Reserve Banks function for certain international organizations using systems other than their payments processing systems will be posted throughout the business day, which is the same treatment as for Fedwire funds transfers. DATES: *Effective Date:* July 20, 2006. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lisa Hoskins, Assistant Director (202-452-3437) or Susan Foley, Manager (202-452-3596), Division of Reserve Bank Operations and Payment Systems, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; for users of Telecommunications Device for the Deaf (“TDD”) only, contact

(202)263-4869. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background The Board's Payment System Risk Policy establishes maximum limits (net debit caps) and fees on daylight overdrafts in depository institutions' accounts at Reserve Banks. When the Board adopted daylight overdraft fees, the Reserve Banks began measuring depository institutions' intraday account balances according to a set of “posting rules” established by the Board. These rules comprise a schedule for the posting of debits and credits to institutions' Federal Reserve accounts for different types of payments. 1 The Board's objectives in designing the posting rules include minimizing intraday float, facilitating depository institutions' monitoring and control of their cash balances during the day, and reflecting the legal rights and obligations of parties to payments. 1 See “Federal Reserve Policy Statement on Payments System Risk,” section I.A (57 FR 47093, October 14, 1992). Under these posting rules, certain transactions, including Fedwire funds transfers, Fedwire book-entry securities transfers, and National Settlement Service transactions, are posted as they are processed during the business day. The posting rules do not currently address instances when the Reserve Banks, acting as fiscal agents for certain international organizations, process funds transfers using internal systems other than their payments processing systems, such as Fedwire, to function payments in these institutions' accounts. The legal rights and obligations of the parties to these payments enable the Reserve Banks to treat these funds transfers as final once the accounting entries are made in internal systems. The Board believes that these funds transfers should be treated consistent with Fedwire funds transfers, which are posted throughout the business day, for daylight overdraft measurement purposes. A footnote has been added to the posting rules under Fedwire funds transfers to clarify this treatment of funds transfers processed on internal systems by the Federal Reserve Banks for certain international organizations. II. Paperwork Reduction Act In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. ch. 3506; 5 CFR Part 1320, Appendix A.1), the Board has reviewed the policy statement under the authority delegated to the Board by the Office of Management and Budget. No collections of information pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act are contained in the policy statement. Policy on Payments System Risk In the Federal Reserve Policy on Payments System Risk, section II.A., under heading “Procedures for Measuring Daylight Overdrafts” and sub heading “Post Throughout Business Day”, a new footnote under Fedwire funds transfers will be added. The new footnote will read 25 Funds transfers that the Reserve Banks function for certain international organizations using internal systems other than payment processing systems such as Fedwire will be posted throughout the business day for purposes of measuring daylight overdrafts. All subsequent footnotes will be renumbered to accommodate the addition of footnote number 25.

(ACES)AGENCY: Office of the Commissioner, GSA. ACTION: Notice of request for comments regarding a renewal to an existing OMB clearance. SUMMARY: Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35), the General Services Administration will be submitting to the Office of Management and Budget

(OMB)a request to review and approve a renewal of a currently approved information collection requirement regarding Access Certificates for Electronic Services (ACES). The clearance currently expires on October 31, 2006. The ACES Program is designed to facilitate and promote secure electronic communications between online automated information technology application systems authorized by law to participate in the ACES Program and users who elect to participate in the program, through the implementation and operation of digital signature certificate technologies. Individual digital signature certificates are issued to individuals based upon their presentation of verifiable proof of identity in an authorized ACES Registration Authority. Business Representative digital signature certificates are issued to individuals based upon their presentation of verifiable proof of identity and verifiable proof of authority from the claimed entity to an authorized ACES Registration Authority. Public comments are particularly invited on: Whether this collection of information is necessary and whether it will have practical utility; whether our estimate of the public burden of this collection of information is accurate and based on valid assumptions and methodology; and ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected. DATES: Submit comments on or before: September 25, 2006. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Stephen Duncan, Federal Acquisition Service, at telephone

(703)872-8537 or via e-mail to *stephen.duncan@gsa.gov* . ADDRESSES: Submit comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden to the Regulatory Secretariat (VIR), General Services Administration, Room 4035, 1800 F Street, NW., Washington, DC 20405. Please cite OMB Control No. 3090-0270, Access Certificates for Electronic Services (ACES), in all correspondence. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A. Background One of the primary goals of the emerging Government Services Information Infrastructure

(GSII)is to facilitate public access to government information and services through the use of information technologies. One of the specific goals of the GSII is to provide the public with a choice of using Internet-based, online access to the automated information technology application systems operated by government agencies; such access will make it easier and less costly for the public to complete transactions with the government. By law, access to some of these automated information technology application systems can be granted only after the agency operating the system is provided with reliable information that the individual requesting such access is who he/she claims to be, and that he/she is authorized such access. The arms-length transactions envisioned by the GSII require implementation of methods for: 1. Reliably establishing and verifying the identity of the individuals desiring to participate in the ACES Program, based primarily upon electronic communications between the applicant and authorized ACES Registration Authority. 2. Issuing to the individuals who have been successfully identified a means that they can use to uniquely identify themselves to the automated information technology application systems participating in the ACES Program. 3. Electronically and securely passing that identity to the automated information technology application system to which the individual is requesting access. 4. Electronically and securely authenticating that identity, through a trusted third party, each time it is presented to an automated information technology application system participating in the ACES Program. 5. Ensuring that the identified individual requesting access to an automated information technology application system has been duly authorized, by the management of that automated information technology application system, to access that system and perform the transactions desired. 6. Ensuring that the information being exchanged between the individual and the automated information technology application system has not been corrupted during transmission. 7. Reducing the ability of the parties to such transactions to repudiate the actions taken. The current state-of-the-art suggests that digital signature certificate technologies (often referred to as part of “Public Key Infrastructure, or PKI”) provide a reliable and cost efficient means for meeting many of these GSII requirements. Thus, the ACES Program should be understood to represent an effort to implement and continue a PKI through which members of the public who desire to do so can securely communicate electronically with the online automated information technology application systems participating in the ACES Program. The initial step for any member of the public to take in order to participate in the ACES Program is to submit an application for an ACES certificate to an authorized ACES Registration Authority. In conjunction with application process, the applicant will be required to submit at least: a. His/her full name. b. His/her place of birth. c. His/her date of birth. d. His/her current address and telephone number. e. At least three(3) of the following: i. Current valid state issued driver license number or number of state issued identification card. ii. Current valid passport number. iii. Current valid credit card number. iv. Alien registration number (if applicable). v. Social Security Number. vi. Current employer name, address, and telephone number. f. If the registration is for a business representative certificate, evidence of authorization to represent that business entity. The information provided during the process of applying for an ACES certificate constitutes the continued information collection activity that is the subject of this Paperwork Reduction Act Notice and request for comments. B. Description A detailed description of the current ACES Program is available on the World Wide Web at *http://www.gsa.gov/aces* , or through the “FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT ” listed above. Please note that all ACES identity information collected from the public is covered by the Privacy Act, the Computer Security Act, and related privacy and security regulations, regardless of whether it is provided directly to an agency of the Federal Government or to an authorized ACES Registration Authority providing ACES-related services under a contract with GSA. Compliance with all of the attending requirements is enforced through binding contracts, periodic monitoring by GSA, annual audits by independent auditing firms, and tri-annual re-accreditation by GSA. Only fully accredited Registration Authorities will be permitted to accept and maintain identity information provided by the public. The identity information collected will be used only to establish and verify the identity and eligibility of applicants for ACES certificates; no other use of the information is permitted. Participation in the ACES Program is strictly voluntary, but participation will only be permitted upon presentation of identity information by the applicant, and verification of that information by an authorized ACES Registration Authority. ACES is designed to permit on-line, arms-length registration through the Internet, which significantly reduces the public’s reporting burden. Based upon preliminary tests run on similar systems for gathering identity-related information from the public ( *e.g.* , U.S. Passports, initial issuance of state-issued driver’s license, etc.), the individual reporting burden for providing identity information for the initial ACES certificate is estimated at an average of 15 minutes, including gathering the information together and entering the data into the electronic forms provided by the authorized ACES Registration Authorities. Service providers participating in the ACES Program may choose to participate in the E-Authentication Services Component

(ASC)as a Credential Service Provider (CSP). As a result and to support the technical requirements of the ASC CSP’s may supply attribute information in Security Assertion Markup Language

(SAML)Assertions between the CSP and the Agency e-government application. This applies to SAML based use cases only. The E-Authentication Service Component leverages credentials from multiple credential providers through certifications, guidelines, standards and policies. The E-Authentication Service Component accommodates assertion based authentication ( *i.e.* , authentication of PIN and Password credentials) and certificate-based authentication ( *i.e.* , Public Key Infrastructure

(PKI)digital certificates, and other forms of strong authentication) within the same environment. The E-Authentication Service Component is aligned with OMB Policy Memorandum M-04-04, EAuthentication Guidance for Federal Agencies ( *http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/memoranda/fy04/m04-04.pdf* ), which provides policy guidance for identity authentication and establishes four levels of authentication assurance. It is also aligned with National Institute for Standards and Technology

(NIST)Special Publication 800-63, Recommendation for Electronic Authentication *http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/nistpubs/800-63/SP800-63V1_0_2.pdf* . This document accompanies and supports OMB M-04-04 and provides technical and procedural requirements for authentication systems which correlate to the four defined authentication assurance levels defined in OMB M-04-04. The E-Authentication Service Component provides the infrastructure for Federal agencies to implement the policies and recommendations of OMB M-04-04 and NIST SP 800-63. These documents as well as other technical, policy, and informational documents and materials can be accessed at the website: *http://www.cio.gov/eauthentication* . The Interface Specifications require the following information to be contained in the SAML assertion between the Credential Service Provider and an e-Government Agency Application

(AA)which is the relying party to the identity assertion: *Common Name* : expressed as First Name, Middle Name, Last Name, suffix surname; *User ID* : provided by the CSP so that no two subscribers within a credential service can share the same User ID; *Authentication Assurance Level* : *i.e.* , assurance level 1, 2, 3, or 4; and *CSP* : CSP is identified in the assertion. Since the SAML assertion contains only common name and user ID of the end user for the selected CSP, most agencies have determined that a separate activation process is necessary to identify the specific individual as represented in the AA. This generally requires creating a separate query process to identify the end user to the AA. To facilitate the activation process and avoid requiring the end user to reenter the same identifying information multiple times, GSA is also proposing to add the following attribute information to the SAML 1.0 Interface Specifications as optional information: *Partial Social Security Number (SSN)* : the last four digits of the end users’ SSN; *Date of Birth (DOB)* : MM/DD/YYYY; and *Physical Address* : street address, city, state, and zip code. The end user name, partial SSN, physical address and DOB are intended to allow the AA to identify the correct end user during the activation process, without necessarily requiring the AA to query the end user for any additional information. AAs will match the last four digits of the identity information in the SAML assertion against the information currently maintained in application records systems. The Interface specification requires that CSPs which do not collect or maintain SSN, DOB, and/or physical address information to enter a null field for these attribute elements. The attribute information contained in the assertion is intended for the purposes of activation, and will not be provided to agencies that do not already have the authority to maintain this attribute information. AAs/records systems that do not collect or maintain the attribute fields of SSN, DOB, or physical address will not be passed that information in the SAML assertion from the CSPs. The EAuthentication AAs can also determine that they do not want to receive the additional attribute information of partial SSN, DOB and physical address and can opt out of receiving this information in the SAML assertions. The E-Authentication Federation/Service Component does not involve any new collection of information from end users. If a Federal agency chooses to create or modify a records system to maintain information expressed in the SAML assertion, it must establish or amend a system of records

(SOR)notice through publication in the **Federal Register** . Federal agencies that serve as CSPs or AAs may choose to maintain audit logs for browser-based access; such logs may include transaction data associated with the SAML assertion. Such audit logs are used to monitor browser access and are not considered systems of records requiring coverage under the Privacy Act. Once the identity information is known to the AA, the user interacts directly with the AA for business transactions. While the EAuthentication Service Component addresses the need for common infrastructure for authenticating end users to applications, authorization privileges at the application are beyond the scope of the E-Authentication initiative. Authorization and related functionality such as access control and privilege management are left to the application owners. Ensuring trust between the participating entities of the EAuthentication Federation (AAs, CSPs and End users) is core to the mission of the E-Authentication initiative. The EAuthentication Service Component provides: • Policies and guidelines for Federal authentication; • Credential assessments and authorizations; • Technical architecture and documents, including Interface Specifications, for communications within the E-Authentication Federation Network; • Interoperability testing of candidate products, schemes or protocols; • Business rules for operating within the Federation; and • Management and control of accepted federation schemes operating within the environment. The E-Authentication Service Component technical approach has two different architectural techniques, assertion-based authentication and certificate-based authentication. PIN and Password authentications typically use assertion-based authentication, where users authenticate to the selected CSP, which in turn asserts their identity to the AA. Certificate-based authentication relies on X.509v3 digital certificates in a Public Key Infrastructure

(PKI)for authentication, and can be used at any assurance level. PKI credentials offer considerable advantages for authentication. Certificates can be validated using only public information. Standards for PKI are also more mature than other authentication technologies and more widely used than the emerging standards for assertion-based authentication of PIN and password credentials. Nevertheless, the Authentication Service Component incorporates both assertion-based and certificate-based authentication to provide the broadest range of flexibility and choices to Federal agencies and end users. C. Purpose The General Services Administration

(GSA)is responsible for assisting Federal agencies with the implementation and use of digital signature technologies to enhance electronic access to government information and services by all eligible persons. In order to ensure that the ACES program certificates are issued to the proper individuals, GSA will continue to collect identity information from persons who elect to participate in ACES. D.
