affect small governments, as described 

in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–4); 

• Does not have Federalism 

implications as specified in Executive 

Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10,

• Is not a significant regulatory action 

subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR

• Is not subject to requirements of 

Section 12(d) of the National 

Technology Transfer and Advancement 

Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) because 

application of those requirements would

Public Meeting: Potential Regulatory 

Implications of the Reduction of Lead 

in Drinking Water Act of 2011 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) is hosting a 

public meeting on August 16, 2012, to 

discuss and solicit input from States, 

manufacturers, drinking water systems, 

other interested groups and consumers 

on the implementation of the Reduction 

of Lead in Drinking Water Act of 2011 

(‘‘the Act’’). The Act was signed on 

January 4, 2011, and will be effective on 

January 4, 2014. The Act amended 

Section 1417 of the Safe Drinking Water 

Act (SDWA), which prohibits the use of 

certain plumbing products that are not 

‘‘lead free’’ (as defined by SDWA), and 

makes it unlawful to introduce into 

commerce products that are not ‘‘lead 

free.’’ 

DATES: The public meeting will be held 

at the Environmental Protection Agency 

Conference Center (lobby level-room 

1204). One Potomac Yard (South 

Building) 2777 S. Crystal Drive, 

Arlington, VA 22202 on Thursday, 

August 16, 2012, from 1:00 p.m. to 4:30 

p.m., Eastern Daylight Time (EDT). All 

attendees must go through a metal 

detector, sign in with the security desk, 

and show government issued photo 

identification to enter the building. 

Teleconference and webcast attendance 

will be available. Instructions for 

registration for the meeting are located 

in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

section of this notice.

Reduction of Lead in Drinking Water 

Act: The Act made several key changes 

to Section 1417: First, the Act changed 

the definition of ‘‘lead-free’’ under 

SDWA by reducing the lead content to 

a weighted average of not more than 

0.25% in the wetted surface material. 

Second, the Act also amended the 

definition of ‘‘lead free’’ by adding a 

specific formula for calculating lead 

content. Third, the Act created two 

separate exemptions to the prohibitions 

on the use and introduction into 

commerce of products that are not 

‘‘lead-free.’’ Some of the changes the Act 

makes to SDWA Section 1417 raise 

implementation challenges and issues 

that may warrant regulatory changes 

beyond codification of the statutory 

changes into the Code of Federal 

Regulations. EPA would make any 

needed regulatory changes as part of the 

Lead and Copper Rule long-term 

revisions (LCR–LTR). However, because 

the final LCR–LTR will be published 

after the effective date of the Act, EPA 

intends to provide information to assist 

plumbing manufacturers, States, water 

systems, plumbing retailers and other 

affected parties in implementing the 

provisions of the Act starting in 2014. 

Information from this stakeholder 

meeting will help inform regulatory 

revisions that will be included in the 

LCR–LTR.
