. Please allow at least five business days prior to the meeting to allow time to process your request. D. How can stakeholders identify potential testing procedures for priority unregulated contaminants?

The public meeting/webinar will provide opportunities to learn about EPA’s method development work and to provide public comments. In addition, EPA will be posting the meeting/ webinar materials in the Docket No. EPA–HQ–OW–2013–2013 from May 15, 2013, to June 17, 2013, to provide an opportunity for written comments.

EPA’s preferred method for submission of written comments about testing procedures is through www.regulations.gov [Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–OW–2013–0213], though other options are described in the

**ADDRESSES** section of this notice. EPA requests that the submitters include: name, affiliation, phone number, mailing address, and email address. However, this information is not required and comments can be submitted anonymously. The following information will be specifically presented in the public meeting/ webinar, which commenters should address as applicable:

1. Specify the CCL contaminant(s) that can be analyzed with the drinking water test procedure. Proposed testing procedures should focus on CCL 3 contaminants ( https:// federalregister.gov/a/E9–24287) or contaminants likely to be considered for CCL 4 (nominated contaminants can be viewed at www.regulations.gov and referencing Docket ID EPA–HQ–OW– 2012–0217). Note that EPA is currently developing the draft CCL 4, which includes consideration of the contaminants that were nominated.

2. Specify the sensitivity, accuracy and precision attainable for the contaminant(s) using the test procedure. Testing procedures submitted for consideration are expected to be validated prior to use. Guidelines for test method validation are described by


### 22542 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 73 / Tuesday, April 16, 2013 / Notices

the EPA Forum on Environmental Measurement (FEM) in documents available through the FEM Web site (USEPA 2005, USEPA 2009).

3. To the extent possible, specify the cost, availability, and projected laboratory capacity associated with the technology that is being proposed.

4. Provide complete citations for referenced test methods, including author(s), title, journal (or other publication), and date.

5. Provide contact information for the primary investigator, when available. II. Background A. How does EPA identify priority contaminants and collect information to judge their occurrence in drinking water?

The 1996 amendments to the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) established the CCL and UCMR programs to provide information that EPA needs to determine whether particular drinking water contaminants should be regulated. The CCL is a list of contaminants that when published are not subject to any proposed or promulgated national primary drinking water regulations, are known or anticipated to occur in public drinking water systems, and may require regulations under SDWA. While the CCL process identifies contaminants that may require regulation, the UCMR program provides the framework to collect data to help determine whether a contaminant occurs at a frequency and concentration that would be of public health concern. EPA published the third CCL (CCL 3) containing 116 contaminants on October 8, 2009 (74 FR 51850) and the third UCMR (UCMR 3) on May 2, 2012 (77 FR 26072). Monitoring under UCMR 3 began January 1, 2013, and will continue until December 31, 2015.

On May 8, 2012, EPA published a Federal Register notice (77 FR 27057) requesting nominations of chemical and microbial contaminants for possible inclusion in the fourth drinking water Contaminant Candidate List (CCL 4). A summary of the contaminants nominated for inclusion in CCL 4 can be viewed at www.regulations.gov referencing Docket ID EPA–HQ–OW–
2012–0217. B. What is the basis for this action?

Under UCMR, a unique set of up to 30 contaminants is identified every five years for monitoring. In order to correctly identify and quantitate these contaminants in a national monitoring effort, robust testing methods must be available. This public meeting/webinar will provide a forum to hear about and discuss EPA’s current drinking water method development for priority contaminants—focusing on CCL 3 and possible CCL 4 contaminants—as well as other testing procedures that may be applicable to these contaminants.
