Use of the https://www.regulations.gov Web site to submit comments to EPA electronically is EPA’s preferred method for receiving comments.

Montana has an EPA approved program for assuming primary enforcement authority for the PWSS program, pursuant to section 1413 of SDWA, 42 U.S.C. 300g–2 and 40 CFR Part 142. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A. Why Do States Issue Variances and Exemptions? States with primary PWSS enforcement authority are authorized to grant variances and exemptions from National Primary Drinking Water Regulations due to particular situations with specific public water systems, providing these variances and exemptions meet the requirements of SDWA sections 1415 and 1416 and are protective of public health. B. Why Is a Review of Variances and Exemptions Necessary? Montana is authorized to grant variances and exemptions to drinking water systems in accordance with SDWA. The SDWA requires that EPA periodically conduct reviews on Stateissued variances and exemptions to determine whether the State has abused its discretion or failed to prescribe schedules in accordance with the statute in a substantial number of cases, and publish the results of that review in the Federal Register. 42 U.S.C. 300g–4(e)(8); 42 U.S.C. 300g–5(d).
