BILLING CODE 6560-50-M ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY [FRL-7557-1] RIN 2040-AD93 Stakeholder Meeting Concerning Development of “Revisions to the Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Regulation for Public Water Systems”; Notice of Public Meeting AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency. ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: Section 1445
(2)(42 U.S.C. 300j-4 (a)) of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), as amended in 1996, requires the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA)to promulgate regulations establishing criteria for a monitoring program for unregulated contaminants. Monitoring shall vary based on system size, source water, and contaminants likely to be found. The SDWA also specifies that for systems serving 10,000 persons or fewer, only a representative sample of systems must monitor. Per SDWA, EPA is required to issue, every 5 years, a list of not more than 30 unregulated contaminants to be monitored by public water systems. The first list of unregulated contaminants was published on September 17, 1999 (64 FR 50556). A second list is scheduled to be proposed by August 2004. The purpose of this notice is to announce a public stakeholder meeting to present information to stakeholders concerning the status of the Agency's efforts in the areas of analyte selection, analytical methods, sampling design, determination of minimum reporting levels, and other possible revisions to the current regulation.
