National Primary Drinking Water Regulations for Lead and Copper

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is making several minor revisions to the national primary drinking water regulations (NPDWRs) for lead and copper to improve implementation. The intended effect of this action is to eliminate unnecessary requirements, streamline and reduce reporting burden, and promote consistent national implementation. The changes promulgated in today's action do not affect the lead or copper maximum contaminant level goals, the action levels, or the basic regulatory requirements. In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), this action also amends the table that lists the Office of Managment and Budget (OMB) control numbers issued under the PRA for NPDWRs for Lead and Copper.
