ACTION: Notice of a public meeting.

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is holding a public
meeting to discuss the status and process of making regulatory
determinations for contaminants on the second drinking water
Contaminant Candidate List (CCL 2). The Agency will discuss its
preliminary approach to evaluate contaminants on the CCL 2 and obtain
input from meeting participants about the process before making and
publishing preliminary regulatory determinations. In addition to
discussions about the second round of regulatory determinations, the
Agency also plans to provide updates on the Unregulated Contaminant
Monitoring project and the Agency's initial efforts in developing the
third Contaminant Candidate List (CCL 3).
DATES: The stakeholder meeting will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
(e.d.t.), on Wednesday, September 15, 2004.
ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held on the first floor of the East

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The purpose of the public meeting is to
obtain input from meeting participants about EPA's regulatory
determination process before the Agency makes and publishes its
preliminary regulatory determinations, as required under the Safe
Drinking Water Act (SDWA). SDWA directs the Agency to select five or
more contaminants from the CCL and determine whether or not to regulate
these contaminants with a National Primary Drinking Water Regulation
(NPDWR). EPA published the first CCL containing 60 contaminants in 1998
and made final regulatory determinations for 9 contaminants on the CCL
in 2003. On April 2, 2004, EPA announced its preliminary decision to
carry over the remaining 51 contaminants on the 1998 CCL as the draft
CCL 2. EPA must make regulatory determinations for at least five
contaminants on the second CCL by August 2006.
The Agency also plans to provide updates on the Unregulated
Contaminant Monitoring project and the Agency's initial efforts in
developing the third Contaminant Candidate List (CCL 3).
Those registered by September 3rd will receive background materials
prior to the meeting. Please note that attendees will be required to
