Stakeholder Meeting Regarding Revisions to the Unregulated 
Contaminant Monitoring Regulation

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) requires the Environmental 
Protection Agency (EPA) to promulgate regulations establishing criteria 
for a monitoring program for unregulated contaminants. Monitoring 
varies based on system size, source water, and contaminants likely to 
be found. SDWA also specifies that for systems serving 10,000 persons 
or fewer, only a representative sample of systems must monitor. Per 
SDWA, EPA is required to issue, every five years, a list of not more 
than 30 unregulated contaminants to be monitored by public water 
systems. The first list of unregulated contaminants was published on 
September 17, 1999, and the second list on January 4, 2007. The third 
list is scheduled to be proposed by November 2010.
    The purpose of this notice is to announce a public stakeholder 
meeting to present information to stakeholders concerning the status of 
the Agency's efforts in the areas of analyte selection, analytical 
methods, sampling design, determination of minimum reporting levels, 
and other possible revisions to the current Unregulated Contaminant 
Monitoring Regulation.

DATES: The meeting will be held on April 7, 2010, from 9 a.m. to 5 
p.m., Eastern Daylight Saving Time.

ADDRESSES: The public meeting will be held at the Crystal City Marriott 
at Reagan National Airport, in the Salon D Room, at 1999 Jefferson
