{"abstract":"This action solicits public comments on EPA's interim position on citing American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) methods in 40 CFR Parts 60, 61, and 63. On August 27, 1997, ``Amendments for Testing and Monitoring Provisions'' was proposed in the Federal Register (62 FR 45369). In the proposal, ASTM methods cited in the subparts were amended to include all updated versions that apply. The EPA is now considering listing only the latest version of the methods instead of all individual versions. The intended effect of this action is to make the public aware of this interim position and to solicit comments from parties affected by this new listing of the methods.","action":"Supplementary proposal with request for comments.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY","name":"Environmental Protection Agency","id":145,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/environmental-protection-agency","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/145","parent_id":null,"slug":"environmental-protection-agency"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/1998/01/14/98-933.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":"60","title":40},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":"61","title":40},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":"63","title":40}],"citation":"63 FR 2194","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"1998-01-05","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Comments.
