| 98-5313 | Announcement of the Drinking Water Contaminant Candidate List | Notice | The Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), as amended in 1996, requires the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to publish a list of contaminants which, at the time of publication, are not subject to any proposed or promulgated national primary drinking water regulation (NPDWR), that are known or anticipated to occur in public water systems and which may require regulations under the SDWA [section 1412(b)(1)]. The SDWA, as amended, specifies that EPA must publish the first list of contaminants (Drinking Water Contaminant Candidate List, or CCL) not later than 18 months after the date of enactment, i.e., by February 1998, and every five years thereafter. The SDWA, as amended, also specifies that the CCL must be published after consultation with the scientific community, and after notice and opportunity for public comment. A draft CCL was published in the October 6, 1997 edition of the Federal Register (62 FR 52193) in order to seek comment from the public. Seventy-one comments were received. The comments have been reviewed and considered in creating the final CCL presented in today's notice. The CCL is divided among contaminants which are identified as priorities for drinking water research, those which need additional occurrence data, and contaminants which are priorities for consideration for the development of future drinking water regulations and guidance. The CCL includes 50 chemical and 10 microbiological contaminants/contaminant groups. The full record for this notice has been established under docket number W-97-11, and includes supporting documentation as well as all comments received in response to the October 6, 1997 notice. The full record is available for inspection from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding legal holidays at the Office of Water Docket, East Tower Basement, USEPA Headquarters, 401 M Street, S.W., Washington, D.C. For access to the docket, please call 202-260-3027 to schedule an appointment. | 1998-03-02 | 1998 | 3 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1998/03/02/98-5313/announcement-of-the-drinking-water-contaminant-candidate-list | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1998-03-02/pdf/98-5313.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | The Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), as amended in 1996, requires the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to publish a list of contaminants which, at the time of publication, are not subject to any proposed or promulgated national primary drinking... |
