Total Coliform Rule Revisions--Notice of Stakeholder Meeting
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency's Total Coliform Rule/
Distribution System Advisory Committee established an Agreement in
Principle (AIP), which provides the Agency with recommendations for
revising the 1989 Total Coliform Rule (TCR). One of the recommendations
of the Committee is that EPA conduct stakeholder outreach as the Agency
develops the proposed revisions to the TCR. Today, EPA is giving notice
of a public meeting to provide regulation development updates and
opportunities for stakeholders to provide feedback on the development
of the proposed revised Total Coliform Rule (RTCR).
Topics to be discussed in the meeting include a review of EPA's
commitments to stakeholder outreach and involvement pertaining to the
proposed RTCR and linkages to other rules; plan and schedule for
guidance documents development; progress in converting the AIP
recommendations to the rule language; discussion on proposed changes to
the Public Notification and Consumer Confidence Report language; and
discussion on AIP recommendations regarding review of the TCR
analytical methods for Total Coliform/E. coli. EPA will also provide
status on the Distribution System Research and Information Collection
Partnership. Teleconferencing will be available for individuals unable
to attend the meeting in person.
DATES: The public meeting will be held on Friday, April 3, 2009 (9 a.m.
to 4 p.m., Eastern Time (ET)). Attendees and those planning to
participate via teleconference should register for the meeting by
