National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System and Pretreatment Programs; State and Local Assistance Programs; Effluent Limitations Guidelines and Standards; Public Water Supply and Underground Injection Control Programs: Removal of Legally Obsolete or Redundant Rules
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is today removing from the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) a number of regulations pertaining to its water programs that are obsolete or redundant. Deleting the obsolete regulations from the CFR will clarify the legal status of these regulations for both the regulated community and the public. EPA is also deleting from the CFR the maximum contaminant level goal (``MCLG'') and maximum contaminant level (``MCL'') for nickel, which have been vacated by a court. In addition, EPA is making one correction due to a typographical error.
