Open Meeting

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: Under section 10(a)(2) of

Public Law 92–423, ‘‘The Federal

Advisory Committee Act,’’ notice is

hereby given that a meeting of the

Contaminant Candidate List (CCL)

Regulatory Determination and 6-Year

Review of Existing Regulation Working

Group of the National Drinking Water

Advisory Council established under the

Safe Drinking Water Act, as amended

(42 U.S.C. S300f et seq.), will be held on

May 2, 2000 from 1 pm until 5 pm ET

Washington, DC 20460, Conference

Room 1209, East Tower. The meeting is

open to the public to observe and

statements will be taken from the public

as time allows. Seating is limited.

This is the third and final meeting to

address regulatory determination from

the CCL. The purpose of the meeting is

to continue discussions on the

development of recommended protocols

for regulatory determinations for CCL

chemical and microbial contaminants,

finalize the draft framework developed

by the EPA at the first meeting, provide

specific recommendations for analyzing

and presenting the available scientific

data, and recommend methods to

identify and document the judgments

made to arrive at a conclusion. For CCL

regulatory determinations, the Working

Group will develop protocols for both

chemical and microbial contaminants

that will be robust enough to apply to

contaminants on the current and future

CCLs. Due to the statutory deadlines

mandated by the SDWA’s 1996

Amendments, the Working Group will

finalize the protocol for CCL regulatory

determinations before beginning work

on the protocol(s) for the 6-year review

of existing NPDWRs.

The working group members have

also been asked to draft proposed

position papers for deliberation by the

advisory council, and provide advice

and recommendations to the full

National Drinking Water Advisory

Council.
