Workshop on Lead in Drinking Water in Schools and Child Care 
Facilities

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is holding a 
workshop to discuss issues concerning lead in drinking water in schools 
and child care facilities. The EPA recognizes that lead in drinking 
water most often occurs within the distribution system and the Agency 
is especially concerned about its effects on vulnerable populations, 
such as children. The EPA is hosting this workshop to discuss 
experiences and options with national experts in drinking water and 
children's health and education. The workshop participants will discuss 
best practices to promote awareness and water testing in schools and 
child care facilities, linkages between water suppliers and school 
officials, school and child care facilities participation in voluntary 
programs, and the Lead and Copper Rule and Lead Contamination Control 
Act as they apply to schools and child care facilities. The EPA has 
been working with the Department of Education to plan this event.

DATES: The workshop will be held on December 7, 2004, 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 
p.m. Eastern time.
