Abstract: The Safe Drinking Water Act, as amended in 1996, requires that EPA review existing National Primary Drinking Water Regulations (NPDWR) no less often than every six years and, if appropriate, revise them. For first Six-Year Review cycle (1996-2002) EPA reviewed 68 chemical NPDWRs and the Total Coliform Rule (TCR), which were promulgated prior to the 1996 Amendments. EPA published the results of this review in the July 18, 2003 edition of the Federal Register (68 FR 42907-42929). EPA is issuing this Information Collection Request as a one-time request for States to submit historical regulated monitoring data during a three month period in 2007. To comply with the 1995 Amendments to the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), this ICR estimates the potential cost to States for data submission across the 3-year ICR period of 2007-2009.
