Stage 2 Disinfectants/Disinfection Byproducts Stakeholder Review
Under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) EPA negotiated recommendations for the
M-DBP rules. The FACA met from March 1999 to September 2000. FACA members represent
a wide range of interest groups including, public health advocates, water utility
representatives, and consumer advocates. At the conclusion of the negotiations, FACA
members signed an Agreement in Principle that
details their recommendations to EPA.
EPA has carefully considered these recommendations and is now requesting comment
from interested parties on whether the pre-proposal draft of the Stage 2 DBPR preamble
and rule language reflects the recommendations contained in the Stage 2 M-DBP Agreement
in Principle. A draft Initial Distribution System Evaluation guidance manual is also
included for review to determine if it contains adequate guidance on how to conduct
an IDSE. Reviewers are also encouraged to identify rule-related issues that EPA
should request comment on during the public comment period following proposal.
This draft is not being distributed for public comment on the need for this rule
or appropriateness of specific rule requirements. EPA does not intend to formally
respond to any comments on this draft. Interested parties will have an opportunity for such
comments during the public comment period following proposal in 2002.
