Notification of a Public Meeting of the Science Advisory Board 
Drinking Water Committee

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Science Advisory 
Board (SAB) Staff Office announces a meeting of the Drinking Water 
Committee (DWC) to review the EPA's Draft Fourth Contaminant Candidate 
List (CCL4) published on February 4, 2015).

DATES: The public meeting will be held on April 29, 2015, from 9:00 
a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) and on April 30, 2015, from 
9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time).

ADDRESSES: The public meeting will be held at the George Washington 
University, Milken Institute School of Public Health, 950 New Hampshire 
Ave. NW., 7th Floor, Washington, DC 20052.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Any member of the public who wants 
further information concerning this public meeting may contact Ms. 
Stephanie Sanzone, Designated Federal Officer (DFO) for the Drinking 
Water Committee, EPA Science Advisory Board Staff Office (1400R), U.S. 
Environmental Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue NW., 
Washington, DC 20460; by telephone at (202) 564-2067 or via email at 
[email protected]. General information concerning the EPA SAB 
can be found at http://www.epa.gov/sab.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Background: The SAB was established pursuant to the Environmental 
Research, Development, and Demonstration Authorization Act (ERDDAA), 
codified at 42 U.S.C. 4365, to provide independent scientific and 
technical advice to the Administrator on the technical basis for Agency 
positions and regulations. The SAB is a Federal Advisory Committee 
chartered under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5 U.S.C., 
App. 2. The SAB will comply with the provisions of FACA and all 
appropriate SAB Staff Office procedural policies. Pursuant to FACA and 
EPA policy, notice is hereby given that the SAB Drinking Water 
Committee will hold a public meeting to review the EPA Draft Fourth 
Contaminant Candidate List (CCL4) (February 4, 2015). The committee 
will provide advice to the Administrator through the chartered SAB.
    EPA's Office of Water requested that the SAB Drinking Water 
Committee review the Draft Fourth Contaminant List (CCL4), which was 
released for public review and comment on February 4, 2015 (80 FR 
6076). The Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), as amended in 1996, requires 
EPA, after consultation with the scientific community including the 
Science Advisory Board and opportunity for public comment, to publish a 
list every five years of currently unregulated contaminants that are 
known or anticipated to occur in public water systems and may require 
regulation

[[Page 14131]]

under the SDWA (referred to as the Contaminant Candidate List, or CCL). 
This list is subsequently used to identify priority contaminants for 
further research needs and to make determinations on whether or not to 
regulate at least five contaminants from the CCL with national primary 
drinking water regulations (NPDWRs) (SDWA section 1412(b)(1)). The 
draft CCL4 includes 100 chemicals or chemical groups and 12 microbial 
contaminants. Additional information about this SAB advisory activity 
can be found at the following URL http://yosemite.epa.gov/sab/sabproduct.nsf/fedrgstr_activites/CCL%204?OpenDocument.
    Technical Contacts: Any technical questions concerning EPA's draft 
CCL4 should be directed to Ms. Meredith Russell in the EPA Office of 
Water, by telephone at (202) 564-0814 or by email at 
[email protected].
    Availability of Meeting Materials: Prior to the meeting, the review 
documents, agenda and other materials will be accessible through the 
calendar link on the blue navigation bar at http://www.epa.gov/sab/. 
Materials may also be accessed at the URL provided above.
    Procedures for Providing Public Input: Public comment for 
consideration by EPA's federal advisory committees and panels has a 
different purpose from public comment provided to EPA program offices. 
Therefore, the process for submitting comments to a federal advisory 
committee is different from the process used to submit comments to an 
EPA program office. Federal advisory committees and panels, including 
scientific advisory committees, provide independent advice to the EPA. 
Interested members of the public may submit relevant information on the 
topic of this advisory activity, and/or the group conducting the 
activity, for the SAB to consider during the advisory process. Input 
from the public to the SAB will have the most impact if it provides 
specific scientific or technical information or analysis for SAB 
committees and panels to consider or if it relates to the clarity or 
accuracy of the technical information. Members of the public wishing to 
provide comment should contact the DFO directly. Oral Statements: In 
general, individuals or groups requesting an oral presentation at the 
meeting will be limited to five minutes. Interested parties wishing to 
provide comments should contact Ms. Sanzone, DFO, in writing 
(preferably via email) at the contact information noted above by April 
22, 2015, to be placed on the list of public speakers for the meeting. 
Written Statements: Written statements will be accepted throughout the 
advisory process; however, for timely consideration by Committee 
members, statements should be supplied to the DFO (preferably via 
email) at the contact information noted above by April 22, 2015. It is 
the SAB Staff Office general policy to post written comments on the Web 
page for advisory meetings. Submitters are requested to provide an 
unsigned version of each document because the SAB Staff Office does not 
publish documents with signatures on its Web sites. Members of the 
public should be aware that their personal contact information, if 
included in any written comments, may be posted to the SAB Web site. 
Copyrighted material will not be posted without explicit permission of 
the copyright holder.
    Accessibility: For information on access or services for 
individuals with disabilities, please contact Ms. Sanzone at the 
contact information provided above. To request accommodation of a 
disability, please contact Ms. Sanzone preferably at least ten days 
prior to the meeting to give EPA as much time as possible to process 
your request.

    Dated: March 12, 2015.
Thomas H. Brennan,
Deputy Director, EPA Science Advisory Board Staff Office.
