and public participation in protecting
the nation’s drinking water. The
agency’s CCR retrospective review will
look for opportunities to improve the
effectiveness of communicating
drinking water information to the
public, while lowering the burden on
water systems and States. One example
suggested by water systems is to allow
electronic delivery through email,
thereby reducing mailing charges. As
EPA evaluates alternative delivery
options and other opportunities to
improve communication with
consumers, the agency will consider
impacts on consumer burden,
environmental justice, and State
implementation. By improving
communication, customers are better
prepared to make informed decisions
and the readership of CCRs also may
increase.

Water.

On November 29, 2011,
PHMSA published in the Federal
Register a Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking titled: ‘‘Miscellaneous

Background
On November 29, 2011, PHMSA

amendments to the pipeline safety
regulations (76 FR 73570). On January
12, 2012, the Interstate Natural Gas
Association of America requested an
extension of the comment period for
that NPRM. On January 20, 2012, the
Committee on Pipe and Tube Imports
Ad Hoc Large Diameter Line Pipe
Producers Group Transportation
Subcommittee also requested an
extension of the comment period to
further review a National Transportation
Safety Board (NTSB) recommendation
that would impact guidelines on the
transportation of pipe. PHMSA believes
that extension of the comment period is
warranted based on the information
