EPA’s National Drinking Water

Contaminant Occurrence Data Base

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Announcement of a Joint

Requirements Planning Meeting on the

National Drinking Water Contaminant

Occurrence Data Base.

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA) has scheduled a five-day

Joint Requirement Planning (JRP)

meeting on EPA’s development of a

National Drinking Water Contaminant

Occurrence Data Base (NCOD). The JRP

is a structured meeting designed to

gather requirements on a new

information system from a varied body

of stakeholders with an interest in the

system. At the upcoming meeting, EPA

is seeking input from key national,

State, individual stakeholders and other

interested parties concerning the

objectives, questions and data elements

to be addressed in the design and

development of the NCOD.

DATES: The Joint Requirements Planning

Meeting on the National Drinking Water

Contaminant Occurrence Data Base will

be held on November 17–21, 1997 from

9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. EST.

ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held in

the WIC–2 South conference room at

USEPA Waterside Mall, 401 M Street,

S.W. Washington, D.C. 20460. For

additional information, please contact

Harriet Colbert, at phone: (202) 260–

2302, fax: (202) 260–3762, or by e-mail

at colbert.harriet@epamail.epa.gov.

Members of the public wishing to attend

the meeting may register by phone by

contacting Harriet Colbert by October

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Background on the National

Drinking Water Contaminant

Occurrence Data Base Section 126(g)(1)

of the Safe Drinking Water Act

Amendments of 1996 (SDWA) requires

the Administrator to assemble and

maintain a national drinking water

contaminant occurrence database by

using information on the occurrence of

both regulated and unregulated

contaminants in public water systems

and reliable information from other

public and private sources. This

National Contaminant Occurrence

Database (NCOD) will be a collection of

data of documented quality on

unregulated and regulated chemical or

microbial contaminants likely to occur

in drinking water systems. The purpose

of the data system is to support the

identification and selection of

contaminants for future regulation or

other appropriate actions and to support

the review of existing regulations for

possible modification. The database

must be developed no later than three

years after the date of enactment of the

SDWA Amendments. Therefore, SDWA

requires the Office of Ground Water and

Drinking Water (OGWDW) to develop

the NCOD by August 6, 1999.

B. Request for stakeholder

Involvement. At the May 1997 NCOD

Stakeholders meeting, there was general

concurrence that the primary user of the

database will be EPA. Stakeholders such

as industry, environmental groups,

States and the general public are

secondary users. As a result of the

meeting, the NCOD Team established a

system development strategy. The

strategy will serve as a ‘‘road map’’ over

the next two years for developing the

first release of the data base to meet the

statutory requirements. One of the major

steps in implementing the development

strategy is to determine what the needs

are and specifically what types of data

are required to meet those needs. User

requirements will serve as the

foundation upon which the database

will be developed.

Discussion materials will be available

at the meeting. The specific issue for

discussion at the meeting will be what

data elements are needed to allow

sound scientific analysis to support

contaminant identification, contaminant

selection, regulatory development, and

regulatory re-examination.

The public is invited to provide

comments on the issue listed above or

other issues related to the National

Drinking Water Contaminant

Occurrence Data Base during the

November 17–21 meeting.
