Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 159 / Friday, August 15, 2008 / Notices 47951 

A. Why Do States Issue Variances and 

Exemptions? 

States with primary PWSS 

enforcement authority are authorized to 

grant variances and exemptions from 

the National Primary Drinking Water 

Regulations to specific public water 

systems provided these variances and 

exemptions meet the requirements of 

SDWA sections 1415 and 1416 and are 

protective of public health, 42 U.S.C. 

300g–4 and 300g–5. 

B. Why Is a Review of Variances and 

Exemptions Necessary? 

The SDWA requires that EPA 

periodically review State-issued 

variances and exemptions to determine 

whether the State has abused its 

discretion in a substantial number of 

cases and to publish the results of that 

review in the Federal Register, 42 

U.S.C. 300g–4(a)(1)(F), 42 U.S.C. 300g–

5(d).
