| 2018-22162 | Expedited Approval of Alternative Test Procedures for the Analysis of Contaminants Under the Safe Drinking Water Act; Analysis and Sampling Procedures | Rule | The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is announcing the Agency's approval of alternative testing methods for use in measuring the levels of contaminants in drinking water and determining compliance with national primary drinking water regulations. The Safe Drinking Water Act authorizes the EPA to approve the use of alternative testing methods through publication in the Federal Register. The EPA is using this authority to make 100 additional methods available for analyzing drinking water samples. This expedited approach provides public water systems, laboratories, and primacy agencies with more timely access to new measurement techniques and greater flexibility in the selection of analytical methods, thereby reducing monitoring costs while maintaining public health protection. | 2018-10-12 | 2018 | 10 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2018/10/12/2018-22162/expedited-approval-of-alternative-test-procedures-for-the-analysis-of-contaminants-under-the-safe | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2018-10-12/pdf/2018-22162.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is announcing the Agency's approval of alternative testing methods for use in measuring the levels of contaminants in drinking water and determining compliance with national primary drinking water regulations.... |
