National Primary Drinking Water Regulations; Monitoring 
Requirements for Public Drinking Water Supplies

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Proposed rule; notice of extension of public comment period.

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

SUMMARY: On February 10, 1994, EPA published a proposed rule which 
would require certain public water systems to generate and provide the 
Agency with specific monitoring data and other information. (59 FR 
6332). That proposed rule provided for a public comment period to March 
14, 1994. This notice extends the public comment period to March 28, 
1994.

DATES: The comment period is extended to March 28, 1994.

ADDRESSES: Send written comments to ESWTR/DBPR Monitoring Docket Clerk, 
Water Docket (MC-4101); U.S. Environmental Protection Agency; 401 M 
Street SW., Washington, DC 20460.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
The Safe Drinking Water Hotline, Telephone (800-426-4791) Monday 
through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time. For technical 
inquiries, contact Stig Regli (202-260-7370) or Paul Berger (202-260-

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 
proposed national primary drinking water regulations to require public 
water systems serving more than 10,000 persons to provide to the 
Agency: Information characterizing their water systems; monitoring data 
for Giardia, Cryptosporidium and other contaminants; and engineering 
data pertaining to removal of disease-causing microorganisms. (59 FR 
6332, February 10, 1994). The Agency received several informal requests 
to extend the public comment period for this proposal, and a formal 
request from the American Water Works Association. EPA has decided to 
extend the public comment period for an additional two weeks, to March 
28, 1994, in order to provide these groups and any other interested 
parties additional time to prepare comments on the proposal. EPA does 
not expect to extend the public comment further.

Acting Deputy Assistant Administrator, Office of Water.
