[FRL-7048-8]
Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Regulation for Public Water
Systems; Amendment to the List 2 Rule and Partial Delay of Reporting of
Monitoring Results
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Direct final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), as amended in 1996,
requires the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to establish criteria
for a program to monitor unregulated contaminants and to publish a list
of contaminants to be monitored. In fulfillment of this requirement,
EPA published Revisions to the Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring
Regulation (UCMR) for public water systems on September 17, 1999 (64 FR
50556), March 2, 2000 (65 FR 11372) and January 11, 2001 (66 FR 2273),
which included lists of contaminants for which monitoring was required
or would be required in the future. EPA is taking direct final action
to correct an omission in the January 11, 2001, List 2 UCMR concerning
laboratory certification. This correction will automatically approve
laboratories of public water systems, that are certified to conduct
compliance monitoring using Method 515.3, to also use Method 515.4 for
UCMR analyses. Additionally, EPA is delaying requirements for the
electronic reporting of unregulated contaminant monitoring results
until its electronic reporting system is ready to accept data. The
January 11, 2001, List 2 UCMR requires certain public water systems to
start reporting the results of their unregulated contaminant monitoring
to EPA electronically by July 1, 2001. This rule notifies such public
water systems that the electronic reporting system that EPA is
developing to accept monitoring data is not ready and that EPA is
removing the reporting requirement until it is available. This action
does not delay or suspend the implementation of any of the requirements
of the Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Regulations for sample
collection and analysis on the previously established schedule.
DATES: This rule is effective on November 5, 2001, without further
notice, unless EPA receives adverse comment by October 4, 2001. If we
receive such comment, we will publish a timely withdrawal in the
Federal Register informing the public that this rule will not take
effect. For judicial review purposes, this final rule is promulgated as
of 1 p.m. ET on September 18, 2001 as provided in 40 CFR 23.7.
ADDRESSES: Please send an original and three copies of your comments
and enclosures (including references) to docket number W-00-01-III,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Potentially Regulated Entities
The regulated entities are public water systems. All large
community and non-transient non-community water systems serving more
than 10,000 persons are required to monitor under the UCMR. A community
water system (CWS) means a public water system which serves at least 15
service connections used by year-round residents or regularly serves at
least 25 year-round residents. Non-transient non-community water system
(NTNCWS) means a public water system that is not a community water
system and that regularly serves at least 25 of the same persons over 6
months per year. Only a national representative sample of community and
non-transient non-community systems serving 10,000 or fewer persons are
required to monitor under the UCMR. Transient non-community systems
(i.e., systems that do not regularly serve at least 25 of the same
persons over six months per year) are not required to monitor. States,
Territories, and Tribes, with primacy to administer the regulatory
program for public water systems under the Safe Drinking Water Act,
sometimes conduct analyses to measure for contaminants in water samples
and are regulated by this action. Categories and entities potentially
regulated by this action include the following:

This table is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather provides a
guide for readers regarding entities likely to be regulated by this
action. This table lists the types of entities that EPA is now aware of
that could potentially be
[[Page 46222]]
regulated by this action. Other types of entities not listed in the
table could also be regulated. If you have questions regarding the
applicability of this action to a particular entity, consult one of the
persons listed in the preceding FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section.
I. Purpose of this Action
The purpose of this action is to correct an omission in the revised
Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Regulation (UCMR) and to delay the
requirement to electronically report to EPA until EPA's electronic
reporting system is ready to receive data. The revised UCMR was
published in the Federal Register on September 17, 1999 (64 FR 50556),
and supplemented on March 2, 2000 (65 FR 11372) and January 11, 2001
(66 FR 2273).
At Sec. 141.40 (a)(5)(ii)(G)(1), EPA intended to provide automatic
certification to laboratories of public water systems that are already
certified to use EPA Method 515.3 to also use EPA Method 515.4 for
unregulated contaminant monitoring analysis. Four analytical methods
have been previously approved for the analysis of
dimethyltetrachloroterephthalate acid (DCPA) degradates in UCMR
monitoring. Three of these methods, EPA Methods 515.1, 515.2, and 515.3
are currently approved for drinking water compliance monitoring. A
regulation has not yet been promulgated to approve EPA Method 515.4 for
drinking water compliance monitoring. Since all other UCMR methods are
currently approved for compliance monitoring, EPA stated in the January
11, 2001 UCMR preamble that laboratories certified to conduct
compliance monitoring using these methods are automatically approved to
conduct UCMR analysis using Method 515.4. The January 11, 2001 UCMR
promulgated Method 515.4 for UCMR monitoring but failed to specify how
laboratories would be certified to conduct analysis using Method 515.4.
As discussed in the January 11, 2001 UCMR, EPA developed a revised
version of EPA Method 515.3, titled EPA Method 515.4, which includes a
wash step following hydrolysis. Method 515.4 was developed to eliminate
the need for laboratories using Method 515.3 to reanalyze positive
samples. Since Method 515.4 is procedurally the same as Method 515.3
except for the addition of a wash step, EPA is adding a sentence
approving laboratories use of Method 515.4 if they are currently
certified to perform compliance monitoring using Method 515.3.
In addition, EPA is also amending the January 11, 2001, UCMR to
delay reporting of unregulated contaminant monitoring data to EPA until
EPA's electronic reporting system is ready to receive the data. Section
141.35(c) of the January 11, 2001, UCMR requires the following
reporting from public water systems subject to UCMR monitoring:
(c) When must I report monitoring results? You must report the
results of unregulated contaminant monitoring within thirty (30)
days following the month in which you received the results from the
laboratory. EPA will conduct its quality control review of the data
for sixty (60) days after you report the data, which will also allow
for quality control review by systems and States. After the quality
control review, EPA will place the data in the national drinking
water contaminant occurrence database at the time of the next
database update. Exception: Reporting of monitoring results to EPA
received by public water systems prior to June 30, 2001, must occur
between July 1 and September 30, 2001. (Italics added.)
Public water systems must report these monitoring results to EPA
electronically, as required in Sec. 141.35(e).
EPA was not able to have its electronic reporting system ready for
reporting by July 1, 2001, as originally planned. Establishing a new
information system for these results was more complex than EPA
anticipated. The complexities of establishing a new information system
for monitoring data that provides Internet based reporting include: use
of a modern computer language not previously used by EPA information
systems in a complex reporting structure; new reporting arrangements
from laboratories directly to EPA, with electronic approval capability
for public water systems and viewing rights for States and EPA; a new
data exchange portal (EPA's Central Data Exchange--CDX); new security
checks through CDX with subsequent testing; and, development of
appropriate user guidance.
Therefore, the affected regulated public water systems will not be
able to comply with the requirements for reporting of unregulated
contaminant monitoring results to EPA because the electronic reporting
system is not operational. EPA, in this action, is delaying the current
UCMR requirement to electronically report to the EPA. EPA anticipates
that the electronic reporting system will be ready in two to three
months. As soon as EPA knows for sure when the electronic reporting
system will be available, EPA will undertake a rulemaking to specify
the new electronic data submission date for data collected since
January 1, 2001.
EPA reiterates that this rule does not suspend the implementation
of any of the Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Regulations for sample
collection and analysis on the previously established schedules.
II. Administrative Requirements
A. Executive Order 12866--Regulatory Planning and Review
Under Executive Order 12866, (58 FR 51735 (October 4, 1993)) the
Agency must determine whether the regulatory action is ``significant''
and therefore subject to Office of Management and Budget (OMB) review
and the requirements of the Executive Order. The Order defines
``significant regulatory action'' as one that is likely to result in a
rule that may:
(1) Have an annual effect on the economy of $100 million or more or
adversely affect in a material way the economy, a sector of the
economy, productivity, competition, jobs, the environment, public
health or safety, or State, local, or Tribal governments or
communities;
(2) Create a serious inconsistency or otherwise interfere with an
action taken or planned by another agency;
(3) Materially alter the budgetary impact of entitlements, grants,
user fees, or loan programs or the rights and obligations of recipients
thereof; or
(4) Raise novel legal or policy issues arising out of legal
mandates, the President's priorities, or the principles set forth in
the Executive Order.
It has been determined that this rule is not a ``significant
regulatory action'' under the terms of Executive Order 12866.
B. Executive Order 13045--Protection of Children From Environmental
Health Risks and Safety Risks
Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997) applies to any
rule that: (1) Is determined to be ``economically significant'' as
defined under Executive Order 12866, and (2) concerns an environmental
health or safety risk that EPA has reason to believe may have a
disproportionate effect on children. If the regulatory action meets
both criteria, the Agency must evaluate the environmental health or
safety effects of the planned rule on children, and explain why the
planned regulation is preferable to other potentially effective and
reasonably feasible alternatives considered by the Agency. This rule is
not subject to Executive Order 13045 because it is not ``economically
significant'' under Executive Order 12866, nor does it concern an
environmental health or safety risk that EPA has reason to believe may
have a disproportionate effect on children.
[[Page 46223]]
C. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA), Public
Law 104-4, establishes requirements for Federal agencies to assess the
effects of their regulatory actions on State, local, and Tribal
governments and the private sector. Under section 202 of the UMRA, EPA
generally must prepare a written statement, including a cost-benefit
analysis, for proposed and final rules with ``Federal mandates'' that
may result in expenditures to State, local, and Tribal governments, in
the aggregate, or to the private sector, of $100 million or more in any
one year. Before promulgating an EPA rule for which a written statement
is needed, section 205 of the UMRA generally requires EPA to identify
and consider a reasonable number of regulatory alternatives and adopt
the least costly, most cost-effective or least burdensome alternative
that achieves the objectives of the rule. The provisions of section 205
do not apply when they are inconsistent with applicable law. Moreover,
section 205 allows EPA to adopt an alternative other than the least
costly, most cost-effective or least burdensome alternative if the
Administrator publishes with the final rule an explanation why that
alternative was not adopted.
Before EPA establishes any regulatory requirements that may
significantly or uniquely affect small governments, including Tribal
governments, it must have developed under section 203 of the UMRA a
small government agency plan. The plan must provide for notifying
potentially affected small governments, enabling officials of affected
small governments to have meaningful and timely input in the
development of EPA regulatory proposals with significant Federal
intergovernmental mandates, and informing, educating, and advising
small governments on compliance with the regulatory requirements.
Today's rule contains no Federal mandates (under the regulatory
provisions of Title II of the UMRA) for State, local, or Tribal
governments or the private sector. The rule imposes no additional
enforceable duty on any State, local or Tribal governments or the
private sector. This rule does not change the costs to State, local, or
Tribal governments as estimated in the final revisions to the
Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule (64 FR 50556, September 17,
1999; 65 FR 11372, March 2, 2000; and 66 FR 2273, January 11, 2001)
because the rule approves laboratories for monitoring with EPA Method
515.4, and delays reporting of results to EPA until EPA's electronic
reporting system is ready to accept data. The lab approval will not
incur any additional costs to laboratories, and instead allows for an
additional method to be used when analyzing for DCPA acid degradates.
Thus, today's rule is not subject to the requirements of sections 202
and 205 of the UMRA.
For the same reason, EPA has determined that this final rule
contains no regulatory requirements that might significantly or
uniquely affect small governments. Thus today's rule is not subject to
the requirements of section 203 of UMRA.
D. Paperwork Reduction Act
This action does not impose any new information collection burden
under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et
seq. This rule makes minor revisions to the Unregulated Contaminant
Monitoring Rule. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire,
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information;
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements; train personnel to be able to respond to
a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review
the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the
information.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to response to a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's
regulations are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR Chapter 15.
E. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), as amended by the Small Business
Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (SBREFA), 5 U.S.C. 601 et
seq.
The RFA generally requires an agency to prepare a regulatory
flexibility analysis of any rule subject to the notice-and-comment
rulemaking requirement under the Administrative Procedure Act or any
other statute unless the Agency certifies that the rule will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
Small entities include small businesses, small organizations, and small
government jurisdictions.
The RFA provides default definitions for each type of small entity.
It also authorizes an agency to use alternative definitions for each
category of small entity, ``which are appropriate to the activities for
the agency'' after proposing the alternative definition(s) in the
Federal Register and taking comment. 5 U.S.C. secs. 601(3)-(5). In
addition to the above, to establish an alternative small business
definition, agencies must consult with the Small Business
Administration's (SBA's) Chief Counsel for Advocacy.
For purposes of assessing the impacts of today's rule on small
entities, EPA considered small entities to be public water systems
serving 10,000 or fewer persons. This is the cut-off level specified by
Congress in the 1996 Amendments to the Safe Drinking Water Act for
small system flexibility provisions. In accordance with the RFA
requirements, EPA proposed using this alternative definition for all
three categories of small entities in the Federal Register, (63 FR
7620, February 13, 1998) requested public comment, consulted with SBA
regarding the alternative definition as it relates to small businesses,
and expressed its intention to use the alternative definition for all
future drinking water regulations in the Consumer Confidence Reports
regulation (63 FR 44511, August 19, 1998). As stated in that final
rule, the alternative definition would be applied to this regulation as
well.
After considering the economic impacts of today's rule on small
entities, I certify that this action will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. This rule
makes two minor revisions to the January 11, 2001 UCMR and imposes no
additional enforceable duty on any State, local or Tribal governments
or the private sector. It merely approves laboratories to conduct UCMR
monitoring using EPA Method 515.4, and delays reporting of results to
EPA until the EPA electronic reporting system is ready to accept data.
The lab approval revision will not increase laboratory costs. It allows
for an additional method to be used when analyzing for DCPA acid
degradates.
F. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act
Section 12 (d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act of 1995 (NTTAA), Public Law 104-113 Section 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272
note), directs EPA to use voluntary consensus standards in its
regulatory activities unless to do so would be inconsistent with
applicable law or otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus
[[Page 46224]]
standards are technical standards (e.g., material specifications, test
methods, sampling procedures, and business practices) that are
developed or adopted by voluntary consensus standards bodies. The NTTAA
directs EPA to provide Congress, through OMB, explanations when the
Agency decides not to use available and applicable voluntary consensus
standards.
EPA's use of voluntary consensus standards in the UCMR program and
approval of Method 515.4 was addressed in the September 1999 and
January 2001 rulemakings (64 FR 50608 and 66 FR 2298). This action does
not involve technical standards. Therefore, EPA did not consider the
use of any voluntary consensus standards.
G. Executive Order 12898--Environmental Justice Strategy
Executive Order 12898 establishes a Federal policy for
incorporating environmental justice into Federal agency missions by
directing agencies to identify and address disproportionately high and
adverse human health or environmental effects of its programs,
policies, and activities on minority and low-income populations.
Today's rule makes two minor changes to the January 11, 2001 UCMR, and
does not alter the regulatory impact of those regulations.
H. Executive Order 13132--Federalism
Executive Order 13132, entitled ``Federalism'' (64 FR 43255, August
10, 1999), requires EPA to develop an accountable process to ensure
``meaningful and timely input by State and local officials in the
development of regulatory policies that have federalism implications.''
``Policies that have federalism implications'' is defined in the
Executive Order to include regulations that have ``substantial direct
effects on the States, on the relationship between the national
government and the States, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various levels of government.''
This rule does not have federalism implications. It will not have
substantial direct effects on the States, on the relationship between
the national government and the States, or on the distribution of power
and responsibilities among the various levels of government, as
specified in Executive Order 13132. Today's rule makes two minor
changes to the January 11, 2001 UCMR, approving laboratories currently
certified to conduct analyses using EPA Method 515.3 to use EPA Method
515.4 for UCMR analysis, and delaying reporting of results to EPA until
the EPA electronic reporting system is ready to accept data. There is
no cost to State and local governments, and the rule does not preempt
State law. Thus, Executive Order 13132 does not apply to this rule.
I. Executive Order 13175--Consultation and Coordination with Indian
Tribal Governments
Executive Order 13175, entitled ``Consultation and Coordination
with Indian Tribal Governments'' (65 FR 67249, November 6, 2000),
requires EPA to develop an accountable process to ensure ``meaningful
and timely input by Tribal officials in the development of regulatory
policies that have Tribal implications.'' ``Policies that have Tribal
implications'' is defined in the Executive Order to include regulations
that have ``substantial direct effects on one or more Indian tribes, on
the relationship between the Federal government and the Indian tribes,
or on the distribution of power and responsibilities between the
Federal government and Indian tribes.''
This rule does not have Tribal implications. It will not have
substantial direct effects on Tribal governments, on the relationship
between the Federal government and Indian tribes, or on the
distribution of power and responsibilities between the Federal
government and Indian tribes, as specified in Executive Order 13175.
Today's rule makes minor changes to the January 11, 2001 UCMR. Thus,
Executive Order 13175 does not apply to this rule.
J. Executive Order 13211: Actions Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use
Executive Order 13211, ``Actions Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use'' (66 FR 28355
(May 22, 2001)), provides that agencies shall prepare and submit to the
Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs,
Office of Management and Budget, a Statement of Energy Effects for
certain actions identified as ``significant energy actions.'' Section
4(b) of Executive Order 13211 defines ``significant energy actions'' as
``any action by an agency (normally published in the Federal Register)
that promulgates or is expected to lead to the promulgation of a final
rule or regulation, including notices of inquiry, advance notices of
proposed rulemaking, and notices of proposed rulemaking: (1)(i) That is
a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866 or any
successor order, and (ii) is likely to have a significant adverse
effect on the supply, distribution, or use of energy; or (2) that is
designated by the Administrator of the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs as a significant energy action.''
This rule is not subject to Executive Order 13211 because it is not
a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866.
K. Administrative Procedure Act
EPA is publishing this rule without prior proposal because it views
this as a noncontroversial amendment and anticipates no adverse
comment. EPA does not anticipate adverse comment because this rule
provides labs with another Method to perform analyses at no cost to
them, as well as delays the need for applicable public water systems to
report monitoring data, again, at no cost to the public water systems.
However, in the ``Proposed Rule'' section of today's Federal Register
publication, EPA is publishing a separate document that will serve as
the proposal for the correction to the Unregulated Contaminant
Monitoring Regulation for Public Water Systems if adverse comments are
filed. This rule will be effective on November 5, 2001 without further
notice unless EPA receives adverse comment by October 4, 2001. If EPA
receives adverse comment, it will publish a timely withdrawal in the
Federal Register informing the public that the rule will not take
effect. EPA will address all public comments in a subsequent final rule
based on the proposed rule. EPA will not institute a second comment
period on this action. Any parties interested in commenting must do so
at this time.
L. Congressional Review Act
The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this rule and other
required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
Sec. 804(2). This rule will be effective on November 5, 2001.
