Drinking Water Strategy Contaminants as Group(s)--Notice of 
Public Stakeholder Meeting

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On March 22, 2010, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 
Administrator Lisa P. Jackson announced the Drinking Water Strategy, a 
new vision to expand public health protection for drinking water by 
going beyond the traditional framework. The Drinking Water Strategy 
includes the following four principles: Addressing some contaminants as 
group(s) rather than one at a time so that enhancement of drinking 
water protection can be achieved cost-effectively; fostering 
development of new drinking water technologies to address health risks 
posed by a broad array of contaminants; using the authority of multiple 
statutes to help protect drinking water; and partnering with States to 
share more complete data from monitoring at public water systems.
    The purpose of this notice is to announce that EPA will be holding 
a public meeting on September 21, 2010, to engage stakeholders on the 
first of the four principles, addressing contaminants as group(s). EPA 
plans to discuss approaches to regulate contaminants as groups and 
potential contaminant groups, share advantages and disadvantages of 
various groups, identify issues needing further attention, and discuss 
potential solutions. EPA invites the public and stakeholders to 
participate in this information exchange on addressing contaminants as 
group(s).

Date and Location:  The public meeting will be held on Tuesday, 
September 21, 2010 (8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Eastern Daylight Savings 
Time), at the EPA East Building, Room 1153, 1201 Constitution Avenue, 
NW., Washington, DC 20460.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For technical inquiries, contact Shari 
Bauman, Standards and Risk Management Division, Office of Ground Water 
and Drinking Water (MC 4607M),
