Zusammenfassung

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is extending by 30 days the public comment period for the 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, which was published in the Federal Register on March 29, 2010. The purpose of that notice was to invite commenters to submit any new, relevant peer-reviewed data or information pertaining to the four NPDWRs identified in that action as candidates for revision (i.e. acrylamide, epichlorohydrin, tetrechloroethylene and trichloroethylene). This information will inform EPA's evaluation as the Agency moves forward with the regulatory revisions for these four NPDWRs. This extended comment period will afford greater opportunity to all interested parties to review and submit comments on the notice.
