their time) with regard to the grant

program involved direct overall grant

management assignments, or the pro

rate share of the salary, wages, and

related costs of each person whose job

includes any overall grant management

assignments. The grantee may have one

of these two methods during the

program. Overall grant management

includes the following kinds of

activities:

(i) Preparing grantee program budgets

and schedules, and amendments

thereto.

(ii) Preparing presentations, reports,

and other documents related to the

program to EPA.

(iii) Developing systems for assuring

compliance with program requirements.

(iv) Evaluating program results against

stated objectives.

(v) Managing or supervising persons

whose responsibilities with regard to

the program include such assignments

as those described in paragraphs (i)

through (iv) of this unit.

b. Travel costs incurred for official

business in carrying out the overall

grant management.

c. Administrative services performed

under third party contract or agreement,

for services directly allocable to overall

grant management such as overall-grant

legal services, overall-grant accounting

services, and overall-grant audit

services;

d. Other costs for goods and services

required for and directly related to the

overall management of the grant

program, including such goods and

services as telephone, postage, rental of

equipment, renter’s insurance for the

program management space, utilities,

office supplies, and rental and

maintenance (but not purchase) of office

space for the program.

To repeat, all of the above activities,

goods and services (Items a. (i.-v.), b., c.,

EPA’s Unregulated Contaminant

Monitoring Program

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Announcement of a stakeholder

meeting on the development of

Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring

Regulations and a List.

SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental

Protection Agency (EPA) has scheduled

a two-day public meeting on EPA’s

development of Unregulated

Contaminant Monitoring Regulations

and a List. The focus of this meeting

will be the development of the

Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring

Regulation and List of unregulated

contaminants to be monitored by public

water systems as required by the Safe

Drinking Water Act (SDWA) as

amended in 1996. The meeting will be

open to any interested parties. EPA

encourages the full participation of

stakeholders throughout this process.

DATES: The stakeholder meeting on the

Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring

Program will be held on December 2–3,

1997, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. EST.

ADDRESSES: Resolve, Inc. (an EPA

contractor) will provide logistical

support for the stakeholders meeting.

The meeting will be held at Resolve,

Inc., 1255 23rd Street, N.W., Suite 275,

Washington, D.C. 20037.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For

general information about the meeting,

please contact Mr. Jeff Citrin at Resolve,

Inc., 1255 23rd Street, N.W., Suite 275,

Washington, D.C. 20037; phone: (202)

965–6388; fax: (202)338–1264, or e-mail

at jcitrin@resolv.org.

For other information on Unregulated

Contaminant Monitoring Regulations

and a List, please contact Charles Job, at

the U.S. Environmental Protection

Agency, Phone: 202–260–7084, Fax:

202–260–3762.

Members of the public wishing to

attend the meeting may register by

phone by contacting Mr. Jeff Citrin by

November 15, 1997. Those registered for

the meeting will receive background

materials prior to the meeting.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Background on the Unregulated

Contaminant Monitoring Regulation

EPA must issue regulations

establishing criteria for the monitoring

of unregulated contaminants.

Monitoring shall vary based on system

size, source water, and contaminants

likely to be found. Only a representative

sample of systems serving 10,000

persons or fewer must be monitored.

Within 3 years after enactment, and

every 5 years thereafter, EPA shall issue

a list of not more than 30 unregulated

contaminants to be monitored by public

water systems. Results of the monitoring

are to be included in the national

contaminant occurrence data base. Each

state may develop an unregulated

contaminant monitoring plan for small

and medium systems (serving fewer

than 10,000 persons). EPA is required to

cover the reasonable costs of testing and

laboratory analysis for such plans, using

funds authorized by Congress for

unregulated contaminant monitoring or

a $2 million Drinking Water State

Revolving Fund (DWSRF) reservation.

EPA shall waive the requirement for

monitoring of unregulated contaminants

in a state if the state demonstrates that

the criteria for listing are not applicable

in the state. Water systems must provide

the results of unregulated contaminant

monitoring to the primacy agency (state/

EPA) and must notify persons served by

the system of the availability of results

[section 1445(a)(2)].

B. Request for Stakeholder Involvement

The upcoming meeting deals

specifically with EPA’s efforts to

develop Unregulated Contaminant

Monitoring Regulations and a List. EPA

believes that the initial list of

unregulated contaminants for which

monitoring will be required will largely

come from the first Contaminant

Candidate List (CCL) to be published in

final form by February 1998. EPA will

use the CCL to establish priorities for

additional occurrence data gathering,

health effects research, and regulation

development. One of EPA’s goals is to

obtain monitoring data on certain

unregulated contaminants to determine

whether any of the contaminants should

be regulated in the future to protect

drinking water used by consumers from

public water systems. These

unregulated contaminant data will also

be used to support the development of

future CCL and to guide future research.

These data will be reported to the

National Contaminant Occurrence Data

Base and to the users of the selected

water systems, as required by law.

The EPA Office of Ground Water and

Drinking Water (OGWDW) sees the

involvement of interested parties,

representing a variety of perspectives

and expertise, as critical to the

development of a credible, effective and

implementable regulation and list. This

stakeholder meeting will provide an

important opportunity for such

involvement. Some anticipated issues
59870 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 214 / Wednesday, November 5, 1997 / Notices

for discussion include the following

questions:

1. Is the objective of unregulated

contaminant monitoring to identify the

occurrence of contaminants in the

environment or to assess exposure from

the finished water?

2. What should be the criteria for an

unregulated contaminant monitoring

program?

3. What is a ‘‘representative sample’’

of small and medium systems?

4. What should be the protocols for

representative sampling?

5. What monitoring data should be

reported and how?

6. What should be the criteria for

determining which of the unregulated

contaminants on the CCL should be a

candidate for required monitoring?

7. What analytical methods should

apply to unregulated contaminants?

8. How should the results of

unregulated contaminant monitoring be

used?

9. What steps need to be taken and

what process should be used to

complete this effort?

EPA has convened this public

meeting to hear the views of

stakeholders on the development of

Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring

Regulations and a List. The public is

invited to provide comments on the

issues listed above or other issues

related to the Unregulated Contaminant

Monitoring Regulations and a List

during the December 2–3, 1997 meeting.
