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.
