National Primary Drinking Water Regulations; Announcement of the
Results of EPA's Review of Existing Drinking Water Standards and
Request for Public Comment and/or Information on Related Issues
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice; request for comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) requires the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to conduct a periodic review of
existing National Primary Drinking Water Regulations (NPDWRs) and
determine which, if any, need to be revised. The purpose of the review,
called the Six-Year Review, is to identify those NPDWRs for which
current health effects assessments, changes in technology, and/or other
factors provide a health or technical basis to support a regulatory
revision that will improve or strengthen public health protection. EPA
has completed its detailed review of 71 NPDWRs and at this time
believes that four NPDWRs are candidates for regulatory revision. These
four NPDWRs are acrylamide, epichlorohydrin, tetrachloroethylene, and
trichloroethylene. EPA requests public comment and/or relevant
information that will assist the Agency as we move forward with
regulatory action to revise these four NPDWRs. In addition to the 71
NPDWRs discussed in detail in today's action, this review also includes
14 other NPDWRs that need no detailed review because of recent or
ongoing revision actions.
DATES: Comments must be received on or before May 28, 2010, 60 days
after publication in the Federal Register.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OW-
