17810 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 70 / Friday, April 11, 1997 / Notices

reauthorized Safe Drinking Water Act

(SDWA), signed by President Clinton on

August 6, 1996. The term ‘‘source

water’’ denotes any ground or surface

water supply source destined for use as

public drinking water. The SWAP is

required of all States with primacy

responsibility for administering

drinking water programs, and consists

of delineating drinking water source

protection areas and conducting

contaminant source inventories and

susceptibility analyses within those

delineated areas. The SWPP is voluntary

for States, and consists of developing

incentive-based voluntary management

measures to reduce or eliminate threats

to drinking water sources within

assessed drinking water source

protection areas. The SDWA requires

EPA to publish final guidance for both

SWAPs and SWPPs by August 6, 1997.

The draft guidance announced in this

notice has been developed by EPA so

that the public may have the

opportunity to review and comment on

its contents before final guidance is

issued. EPA is seeking comment on all

aspects of the guidance.

DATES: EPA will accept public comment

on this guidance until Friday, June 13,

1997.

ADDRESSES: Copies of the Draft

Guidance for State Source Water

Assessment and Protection Programs

including Petition Programs are

available from the Safe Drinking Water

Act Hotline, telephone (800) 426–4791.
