Stakeholder Meeting on the Draft Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) 
Implementation Guidance

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Announcement of Stakeholder Meeting.

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

SUMMARY: The Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) rule published on August 
19, 1998 in the Federal Register requires community water systems to 
provide to customers annual consumer confidence reports on the quality 
of the water delivered by the systems. Draft CCR implementation 
guidance has been developed based on input from an Environmental 
Protection Agency (EPA) Headquarters and Regional staff workgroup. On 
November 19 and 20, 1998, a CCR State-EPA workgroup meeting was held to 
obtain State comments on the draft implementation guidance. At this 
time, the EPA would like to obtain stakeholder comments on the draft 
guidance and will hold a public meeting to solicit comments and 
suggestions from parties who will be affected by or are otherwise 
interested in the Draft CCR Implementation Guidance. EPA will consider 
the comments and views expressed at the meeting in developing the final 
version of the implementation guidance. EPA encourages the full 
participation of all stakeholders throughout this process.

DATES: The stakeholder meeting regarding the Draft CCR Implementation 
Guidance will be held on December 18, 1998, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET., in 
Washington, DC.

ADDRESSES: The December 18, 1998 stakeholder meeting will be held in 
the Washington Information Center (WIC) Conference Room 3 North, U.S. 
EPA Headquarters, 401 M Street SW, Washington, DC.
