The purpose of the review, called the Six-Year Review, is to evaluate current information for regulated contaminants to determine if there is new information on health effects, treatment technologies, analytical methods, occurrence and exposure, implementation and/or other factors that provides a health or technical basis to support a regulatory revision that will improve or strengthen public health protection. EPA has completed a detailed review of 76 NPDWRs and at this time has determined that eight NPDWRs are candidates for regulatory revision. The eight NPDWRs are included in the Stage 1 and the Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rules, the Surface Water Treatment Rule, the Interim Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule and the Long Term 1 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule. EPA requests comments on the eight NPDWRs identified as candidates for revision and will consider comments and data as it proceeds with determining whether further action is needed. In addition, as part of this Six-Year Review, EPA identified 12 other NPDWRs that were or continue to be addressed in recently completed, ongoing or pending regulatory actions. EPA thus excluded those 12 NPDWRs from detailed review. This document is not a final regulatory decision, but rather the initiation of a process that will involve more detailed analyses of factors relevant to deciding whether a rulemaking to revise an NPDWR should be initiated. 82 FR 3518 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2017-01-11/2016-31262 2016-31262 FR11JA17-27 RIN 2040-ZA26 6560-50-P EPA-HQ-OW-2016-0627 FRL-9957-49-OW https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2017-01-11/2016-31262 https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2017-01-11/html/2016-31262.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2017-01-11/pdf/2016-31262.pdf 35 p. 3518 3552 82 FR 3518 Title 40 Part 141 40 CFR Part 141 RIN 2040-ZA26 National Primary Drinking Water Regulations; Announcement of the Results of EPA's Review of Existing Drinking Water Standards and Request for Public Comment and/or Information on Related Issues; Federal Register Vol. 82, Issue PRORULE 2016-31262 III ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY 2017-03-13 EPA-HQ-OW-2016-0627 FRL-9957-49-OW 6560-50-P 2016-31262 Request for public comments.
