consultation for its Waterborne
Diseases—Measures to Link Drinking
Water Programs to Public Health
Outcomes (Measures) and review its
Draft Drinking Water Contaminant
Candidate List 3 (CCL3) document.
Measures—EPA’s Office of Water
(OW) produced a draft Measure
Development Plan in October, 2004. The
purpose of the plan is to develop longterm measures that describe changes
over time of disease due to drinking
water contamination or changes in the
occurrence of indicators of waterborne
disease. The objective of the measures is
to demonstrate the effectiveness of
drinking water programs on epidemic
and endemic, acute and chronic disease
related to microbes or other water
contaminants. The SAB is being asked
to comment on the effectiveness of this
plan to produce outcome measures.
CCL3—The 1996 Safe Drinking Water
Act amendments (SDWA) require EPA
to (1) publish every five years a list of
currently unregulated contaminants in
drinking water that may pose risks (the
Contaminant Candidate List or ‘‘CCL’’),
and (2) make determinations on whether
or not to regulate at least five
contaminants from that list on a
staggered five year cycle. SDWA
requires EPA to publish a new list of
contaminants that are known or
anticipated to occur in public water
systems every five years. The first CCL
(CCL1) was published or finalized on
March 2, 1998 (63 FR 10273). CCL1 was
developed based on the review by
technical experts of readily available
information and contained 50 chemicals
and 10 microbial contaminants/groups.
EPA consulted with the scientific
community, including the Science
Advisory Board, on a process for
developing the first CCL. The second
CCL (CCL2) was published on February
24, 2005 (70 FR 9071). CCL2 carried
forward the remaining 51 chemical and
microbial contaminants listed on CCL1.
The Agency is evaluating data and
research on these chemicals and
microbes to make regulatory
determinations on the contaminants
listed CCL2. The draft CCL3 includes 93
chemicals or chemical groups and 11
microbiological contaminants. The EPA
is seeking comment from the SAB DWC
on the draft CCL3, the approach used to
develop the list, and other specific
contaminants.
Availability of Meeting Materials: The
meeting agendas and other materials
including a link to the Office of Water’s
draft Measures document will be posted
on the SAB Web Site at: (https://
www.epa.gov/sab) in advance of the
meeting. The CCL3 draft can be found

requires the operator of each cable

complete performance tests of that
system at least twice each calendar year
(at intervals not to exceed seven
months), unless otherwise noted below.
The performance tests shall be directed
at determining the extent to which the
system complies with all the technical
standards set forth in § 76.605(a) and
shall be as follows:
(1) For cable television systems with
1,000 or more subscribers but with

Jkt 214001
12,500 or fewer subscribers, proof-ofperformance tests conducted pursuant
to this section shall include
measurements taken at six (6) widely
separated points. However, within each
cable system, one additional test point
shall be added for every additional
12,500 subscribers or fraction thereof
(e.g., 7 test points if 12,501 to 25,000
subscribers; 8 test points if 25,001 to
37,500 subscribers, etc.). In addition, for
technically integrated portions of cable
systems that are not mechanically
continuous (i.e., employing microwave
connections), at least one test point will
be required for each portion of the cable
system served by a technically
integrated microwave hub. The proof-ofperformance test points chosen shall be
balanced to represent all geographic
areas served by the cable system. At
least one-third of the test points shall be
representative of subscriber terminals
most distant from the system input and
from each microwave receiver (if
microwave transmissions are
employed), in terms of cable length. The
measurements may be taken at
convenient monitoring points in the
cable network: Provided, that data shall
be included to relate the measured
performance of the system as would be
viewed from a nearby subscriber
terminal. An identification of the
instruments, including the makes,
model numbers, and the most recent
date of calibration, a description of the
procedures utilized, and a statement of
the qualifications of the person
performing the tests shall also be
included.
(2) Proof-of-performance tests to
determine the extent to which a cable
television system complies with the
standards set forth in § 76.605(a) (3), (4),
and (5) shall be made on each of the
NTSC or similar video channels of that
system. Unless otherwise as noted,
proof-of-performance tests for all other
standards in § 76.605(a) shall be made
on a minimum of four (4) channels plus
one additional channel for every 100
MHz, or fraction thereof, of cable
distribution system upper frequency
limit (e.g., 5 channels for cable
television systems with a cable
distribution system upper frequency
limit of 101 to 216 MHz; 6 channels for
cable television systems with a cable
distribution system upper frequency
limit of 217–300 MHz; 7 channels for
cable television systems with a cable
distribution upper frequency limit to
300 to 400 MHz, etc.). The channels
selected for testing must be
representative of all the channels within
the cable television system.
(3) The operator of each cable
television system shall conduct semi-
PO 00000

annual proof-of-performance tests of
that system, to determine the extent to
which the system complies with the
technical standards set forth in
§ 76.605(a)(4) as follows. The visual
signal level on each channel shall be
measured and recorded, along with the
date and time of the measurement, once
every six hours (at intervals of not less
than five hours or no more than seven
hours after the previous measurement),
to include the warmest and the coldest
times, during a 24-hour period in
January or February and in July or
August.
(4) The operator of each cable
television system shall conduct triennial
proof-of-performance tests of its system
to determine the extent to which the
system complies with the technical
standards set forth in § 76.605(a)(11).
47 CFR 76.601 states prior to
additional testing pursuant to Section
76.601(c), the local franchising authority
shall notify the cable operator, who will
then be allowed thirty days to come into
compliance with any perceived signal
quality problems which need to be
corrected.
47 CFR 76.1704 requires that proof of
performance test required by 47 CFR
Section 76.601 shall be maintained on
file at the operator’s local business
office for at least five years. The test
data shall be made available for
inspection by the Commission or the
local franchiser, upon request. If a signal
leakage log is being used to meet proof
of performance test recordkeeping
requirement in accordance with Section
76.601, such a log must be retained for
the period specified in 47 CFR Section
76.601(d).
47 CFR 76.1705 requires that the
operator of each cable television system
shall maintain at its local office a
current listing of the cable television
channels which that system delivers to
its subscribers.
47 CFR 76.1717 states that an operator
shall be prepared to show, on request by
an authorized representative of the
Commission or the local franchising
authority, that the system does, in fact,
comply with the technical standards
rules in part 76, subpart K.
