       Subpart B--Specific Chemical Testing/Reporting Requirements
 
Sec. 766.28  Expert review of protocols.

    EPA will gather a panel of experts in analysis of chemical matrices 
for HDDs/HDFs to review the protocols for testing submitted to EPA. The 
panel members will be employees of EPA and/or of other U.S. Government 
agencies who have had experience in analysis of chemical matrices and/or 
chemical wastes for HDDs/HDFs. The panel will recommend to the Director, 
EPA Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics, whether the protocol 
submitted is likely to allow analysis down to the target LOQs, or if 
not, whether the protocol represents a good faith effort on the part of 
the tester to achieve the lowest possible LOQs. The final determination 
to accept or reject the protocol will be made by the Director, Office of 
Pollution Prevention and Toxics. EPA will review the submitted protocols 
as rapidly as possible and will complete the review within 90 days after 
receipt. EPA may require submission of revised protocols. Comments and 
recommendations will be transmitted to the submitter, and if revisions 
are required, a final protocol must be submitted to EPA within 90 days 
after EPA transmits such recommendations.
