The National Drinking Water Advisory Council Microbial and Disinfection Byproducts Rule Revisions Working Group: Request for Nominations
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is requesting that the National Drinking Water Advisory Council (NDWAC or Council), a Federal Advisory Committee established under the Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974, provide the agency with advice and recommendations on key issues related to potential revisions to the following Microbial and Disinfection Byproducts (MDBP) rules: Stage 1 and Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rules, Surface Water Treatment Rule, Interim Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule, and Long-Term 1 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule. EPA is seeking consensus advice from the NDWAC, which would be used to inform the development of potential rule revisions. To support the work of the Council, EPA is asking the NDWAC to form a working group, to be called the Microbial and Disinfection Byproducts Rule Revisions Working Group, that would include stakeholders with a variety of backgrounds and expertise. The working group would explore specific issues and identify potential MDBP rule revisions options for the Council to consider in making its recommendations to EPA. This announcement solicits nominations of qualified individuals to serve on the working group. EPA anticipates the working group would be active approximately from Spring 2022 through mid-2023.
2-Propenoic acid, telomer with N-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-2-propenamide, sodium 2-methyl-2-[(1-oxo-2-propen-1-yl)amino]-1-propanesulfonate (1:1) and sodium sulfite (1:1), Sodium Salt; Exemption From the Requirement of a Tolerance
This regulation establishes an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of 2-Propenoic acid, telomer with N-(1,1- dimethylethyl)-2-propenamide, sodium 2-methyl-2-[(1-oxo-2-propen-1- yl)amino]-1-propanesulfonate (1:1) and sodium sulfite (1:1), sodium salt), when used as an inert ingredient in a pesticide chemical formulation.
