The notice shall include a statement of reasons for the granting of the variance or exemption, including documentation of the need for the variance or exemption and the finding that the granting of the variance or exemption will not result in an unreasonable risk to health. The State may use a single notification statement to report two or more similar variances or exemptions. (b) Each State which has primary enforcement responsibility shall submit annual reports to the Administrator on a schedule and in a format prescribed by the Administrator, consisting of the following information: (1) All additions or corrections to the State's inventory of public water systems; (2) A summary of the status of each variance and exemption currently in effect. (c) Special reports--(1) Surface Water Treatment Rule. (i)(A) A list identifying the name, PWS identification number and date of the determination for each public water system supplied by a surface water source or a ground water source under the direct influence of surface water, which the State has determined is not required to provide filtration treatment. (B) A list identifying the name and PWS identification number of each public water system supplied by a surface water source or ground water source under the direct influence of surface water, which the State has determined, based on an evaluation of site-specific considerations, has no means of having a sample transported and analyzed for HPC by a certified laboratory under the requisite time and temperature conditions specified in Sec. 141.74(a)(3) and is providing adequate disinfection in the distribution system, regardless of whether the system is in compliance with the criteria of Sec. 141.72 (a)(4)(i) or (b)(3)(i) of this chapter, as allowed by Sec. 141.72 (a)(4)(ii) and (b)(3)(ii). The list must include the effective date of each determination. (ii) Notification within 60 days of the end of the calendar quarter of any determination that a public water system using a surface water source or a ground water source under the direct influence of surface water is not required to provide filtration treatment. The notification must include a statement describing the system's compliance with each requirement of the State's regulations that implement Sec. 141.71 and a summary of comments, if any, received from the public on the determination. A single notification may be used to report two or more such determinations. (2) Total coliforms. A list of public water systems which the State is allowing to monitor less frequently than once per month for community water systems or less frequently than once per quarter for non-community water systems as provided in Sec. 141.21(a), including the effective date of the reduced monitoring requirement for each system. (3) [Reserved] (4) States shall report quarterly, in a format and on a schedule prescribed by the Administrator, the following information related to each system's compliance with the treatment techniques for lead and copper under 40 CFR part 141, subpart I during the preceding calendar quarter. Specifically, States shall report as follows: (i) For any reports provided prior to May 15, 2000, States shall report the name and PWS identification number: (A) Each public water system which exceeded the lead and copper action levels and the date upon which the exceedance occurred; (B) Each public water system required to complete the corrosion control evaluation specified in Sec. 141.82(c) and the date the State received the results of the evaluations from each system; (C) Each public water system for which the State has designated optimal corrosion control treatment under Sec. 141.82(d), the date of the determination, and each system that completed installation of treatment as certified under Sec. 141.90(c)(3); (D) Each public water system for which the State has designated optimal water quality parameters under [[Page 599]] Sec. 141.82(f) and the date of the determination; (E) Each public water system which the State has required to install source water treatment under Sec. 141.83(b)(2), the date of the determination, and each system that completed installation of treatment as certified under Sec. 141.90(d)(2); (F) Each public water system for which the State has specified maximum permissible source water levels under Sec. 141.83(b)(4); and (G) Each public water system required to begin replacing lead service lines as specified in Sec. 141.84, each public water system for which the State has established a replacement schedule under Sec. 141.84(f), and each system reporting compliance with its replacement schedule under Sec. 141.90(e)(2). (ii) For any reports provided after May 14, 2000 and before January 14, 2002, States may report in accordance with either paragraph (c)(4)(i) or (c)(4)(iii) of this section.

(A) For each large and medium-size public water system, all 90th percentile lead levels calculated during each monitoring period specified in Sec. 141.86 of this chapter, and the first and last day of the monitoring period for which the 90th percentile lead level was calculated; (B) For each small public water system, the 90th percentile lead level calculated during each monitoring period in which the system exceeds the lead action level, and the first and last day of each monitoring period in which an exceedance occurred; (C) For each public water system (regardless of size), the 90th percentile copper level calculated during each monitoring period in which the system exceeds the copper action level, and the first and last day of each monitoring period in which an exceedance occurred; (D) For each public water system for which the State has designated optimal water quality parameters under Sec. 141.82(f) of this chapter, or which the State has deemed to have optimized corrosion control under Sec. 141.81(b)(1) or (b)(3) of this chapter, the date of the determination and the paragraph(s) under which the State made its determination; (E) For each public water system required to begin replacing lead service lines as specified in Sec. 141.84 of this chapter and the date each system must begin replacement; and (F) For each public water system that has implemented optimal corrosion control, completed applicable source water treatment requirements pursuant to Sec. 141.83 of this chapter and/or completed lead service line replacement requirements pursuant to Sec. 141.84 of this chapter, and the date of the State's determination that these requirements have been met.
